Mapsend Topo usage with no CD

I have been out of geocaching for awhile. Sold my Meriplat and everything that I had to go with it. Now I'm looking to take geocaching up again and am considering a SporTrak Map. I have Topo loaded on my PC (but no CD) from when I bought my MeriPlat. Will I be able to utilize the Topo I have on my PC with a new SporTrak Map or will I need to buy another CD copy of Topo?

When I installed mine, I had a choice of a full installation or partial that requires the CD each use (to save disc space). I would think it depended on which installation you chose as to whether you need the CD or not.

There may also be a simple registry hack, similar to the one for MapSource Topo. I simply had to copy the directory from the CD to the HD, then edit the registry key pointing to the CD-ROM, changing it to the location of the file directory. It's 100x quicker now.
