Hi there, this may be a common question but I can't find the answer in a quick search. Can the technician edition be used and updated from a USB stick so it can be used to support multiple computers (like the portable version from portableapps.com but with the extra features of the Technician edition)?

Portable Edition
It is possible to make your own portable edition with the use of Winrar and creating an sfx executable. Copy the program folder into the sfx and call the executable. Mine is utilizing the switches to autoscan after extraction. I put my logo in it, but I keep the spybot icon by using Greenfish Editor. One tip though is make it install into a temporary folder so that when it is done you won't have to delete it manually. It will remove itself from the computer after the program closes. Saves me time when working on a customers computer.
I have tried the bootable spybot option but I can never get it to create the iso properly.

Bootable Usb stick / Portable
To use Spybot as portable:
I've tried the version from Cameyo. They have a version of "spybot 1.6" and "spybot 2.4".
It seems to be fully functionable and works on "Windows 7" X64-Systems. To get the program, goto "http://www.cameyo.com/"
If you like to have your licensed version as portable, you need to download and start „edit package" at the Cameyo
software and copy the "license.key" and "license.txt" file from the spybot directory on your harddisk to the package.
To use spybot on a bootable usb stick, follow these steps:
1. use spybot’s "boot cd creator" (download "Windows AIK" …) and create the Spybot Iso
2. To get the image onto the stick, download and start the tool "Iso to Usb" from "http://www.isotousb.com/"
3. add the iso file to the box on top, choose the usb-stick-drive, use the file System "FAT32", type any volume label you like and click "Burn"
