Actually, it not only sounds like piracy, what you are suggesting _is_
piracy.  Sorry... you are asking someone to do something that is, as
innocent as it may sound, a violation of copyright law.  AFAIK, You can
buy the software without buying the whole set though... I believe that
this option is available through the Dacta division.

It doesn't sound like Alberto was trying to break the law.

Alberto, at one point, LEGO was selling an upgrade kit for about $25.  Their
customer service is very helpful.  If you contact them, they should be able to
tell you how to get the software you need for the USB tower.

Considering you purchased the kit & the USB tower, it's possible they will send
you the upgrade for a very small cost.
