While it would be nice if Sony would provide the necessary library for Macs and for Linux, the real need is for there to be some work-around that is hardware and OS independent. For example, entering the SERIAL NUMBER of the device on a web page someplace, and having that web page (presumably controlled by either Sony and/or Adobe) accomplish the necessary authorization.

The requirement to involve Sony's software (in combination with their lack of support for non-Win32 computers) is really inexcusable.
