It's only a pain because you think it is one. Outside of your own privacy concerns, and specific tech support needs, there is no reason to ever deactivate a machine. Deactivating does not get you an activation count back.
p.s This will be my last post as an Adobe Employee, after 16 years I've decided to move to a different company. |
No it's a pain because of the way it is designed. If the computed crashes such that it can't be brought up. There is no way to deactivate without dealing with Adobe. This is a PITA to anyone having to do it. Additionally if someone has many machines or has done many activations then IT IS an issue and a PITA.
Nothing against you Jim, you've been a great help to many here and best wishes on your new position! Willing to say where? who? you'll be with?
