[quote=kav2001c]Is there a way to remove my license key?
(reason I ask is I had thought about using software at work, but am worried that leaving my key on a public computer it might get compromised and then lock me out as a key pirate or something)

That's correct. When you uninstall, you will be asked if you want to "keep the registration" or the "key" or whatever. Indicating "no" will delete the registration info.
