I still use Acrobat Pro sometimes. Thanks to Adobe's recent "generosity" with the CS2 apps, I now have Acrobat Pro 8. Acrobat Pro 7 (and earlier) was part of my workflow for years, back when I was still doing that kind of work.
I had proof this weekend that the CS2 authorization servers are truly gone. Unfortunately, I had to do some work on a website and launched GoLive. It had been migrated to the Mac Pro along with my other CS2 apps, but I had never launched it since migrating that particular drive. Sure enough, it went looking for an authorization server. Luckily, I still have my little workaround for the authorization process; but it was definitely soothing to know that I could just reinstall GoLive and use the "free" serial number. I needed some soothing because the last time I did any real work on this site was probably 2005, when I converted it from a tables-based layout to CSS. I remember virtually nothing about CSS now. Time to break out the books.
