Import ACT data into other contact manager?

[RickRadio73]

I have been an ACT user for about six, or seven years. I am presently stuck in ACT v6.0 because ACT 2006, and ACT2007 have very strict licensing / activation. Let me explain, I run ACT6.0 on my workstation at work, but periodically restore my ACT contacts on my home computer for read-only access, and for disaster / recovery. ACT2006, and ACT2007 makes you purchase a second license for this, and even if I did purchase the second license, I would not trust this in a disaster / recovery situation.

My question: Are there any contact managers that will import ACT data?
I would consider an other application if I could grow with it, and if it would allow a disaster / recovery type restore with out shelling out more money.

An alternate question is: Can I run my ACT2007 on my workstation at work, and be able to backup my data, and restore it at home without purchasing a second license?
I would not be using ACT at home, and synchronizing the data between the two workstations, but simply keeping the home workstation for disaster / recovery reasons.
A related issue would also be when the workstation fails, or is replaced, is another license required when installing ACT2007 again?

Yes, you are allowed... easier is to sync to your home machine. It's licenced by user name, so it's not a problem.

Nope.
