Happens to me every now and then. Sometimes reactivation does NOT succeed and I have to wait on hold for 10 mins just for someone to tell me I've exceeded my allowed activations.

Thats what you get for actually paying for software. ;)

There is more than a slight truth in tht statement...
I remeber paying legally for office 2003 back in the day, and feeling so proud of myself... However the problems I had when I needed to reinstall, or when I changed and upgraded my computers, geting the legit SN to work was stupid...
Eventually i ended up using the bought discs and one of the numbers from a keygen, just to be able to use the software I had paid for ! LOLComment

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.Comment

Happened again just now, 26 hours after I started this thread.
The only change I can think of since then is that I reinstalled my printer driver. Nothing major.
It's getting damn annoying having to reactivate.Comment
