We haven't bought any books yet other than 6 from the Sony store. I am thinking along the same line as you about a clean start except I'm dealing with these GINORMOUS corporations (Sony/Adobe) and all I need them to do is just erase/reset/clear out whatever our Adobe ID account so we can get our PC authorized. Problem is I don't know if or when they will do this. This whole thing sounds simple but getting someone to simply 'reset' the activation thing has proven enormously frustrating.
