I've ended up in a similar situation, I got sick of CS2 refusing to activate each time I reinstalled 'doze (even with 100% identical hw - go figure?), so someone sent me a keygen app. It's ridiculous that I have to resort to using that for software that I have paid for and legally own.

Adobe's response - deactivate before you reinstall. The problem is that the reinstalls are usually prompted by a crash.

Windows XP itself only complained once about too many activations, and a quick call with a guy in India asking if it was only running on a single machine fixed that.
