Hi,

I have ADE on a computer with windows xp and I am planning to change the os. My question is: what will happen when I will reinstall ADE and I will insert again my Adobe ID?

It is the same computer but with a new os: will it be recognized by Adobe like an already authorized device or will it be registered like a new device?

More generally: which parameter is used by ADE to recognize a device? Something hardware (eg, the mac address) or something software? In the first case, it would be persistant upon changing os on the same machine, otherwise it is not.

Thanks a lot.
