Won't I need to deauthorize and re-authorize all my devices also. I think I'm likely to run into trouble with ADE and too many activations. I don't have much faith in them after their "we don't support free products" statement.

The email address doesn't even have to be real. I use the equivalent of "qwegt3h87@sahbq24t.com". Adobe may always change something in the future, but you don't need to be able to get mail at an address to use it as an ADE username. Just make sure you keep the address/password somewhere (password locker software, if you're concerned).

And yes, you'll have to reauthorize your devices.
