Yes, I did post it on the Adobe Forums, Richard. Bob Levine says my "renewed" limit is now 5 times.
My reply...
>>>It just seems that having any kind of limit is imposing restrictions on users. I'm not as concerned about restrictions on CS3 as I am about the restrictions it could place on a user's management of backups and general computer maintenance. I have my weekly backup routine that is automatically scheduled to clone to a second internal hard drive. I _also_ clone once a month to an external that is kept off site.
Activating/Deactivating CS3 is part of my maintenance workflow and I am trying to stay within Adobe's license agreement by not having more than two active installed copies and actually I prefer to only have one active copy at any given time.
So my question is this... If I stick to my usualy backup routine and deactivate before weekly clones, I get to backup 5 times and then I reach the limit again? That's unacceptable.
