Product Activation? What the hell is Adobe thinking?
I was on the fence with this upgrade, but Activation pushed me to pass on it.
Adobe should know better. Activation stops almost no copying, not even "casual copying" since Activation is easy to get around in general and if you want to find a corporate key, it's easy to do. Yes, it stops maybe a fraction of one percent of theft, those truly clueless people, but for everyone else, you are either annoyed by it or get around it in less than 5 minutes.
Of all the ideas to copy from our "innovators" in Redmond, this is not it.
As someone who pays a lot of money for Adobe licenses, this is a deal breaker.
It is going to have to take a ton of new features for me to pay to enter the world of Authentication. I simply don't want the headaches, and CS1 works mighty fine as is.
