I know many people who refused to buy the latest version of Quark because of activation - nothing to do with the idea BEHIND activation, they're all for reducing piracy, what they are against are the number of problems WITH the activation process; people being denied activation because of serial number problems, activation problems over the internet, on the road with their laptop and something happens.
There are a number of scenarios where by software CAN become unactivated, resulting in a mirrade of problems exploding for the end user.
Adobe had the edge for NOT having activation in their products, now customers are going going to ask "should I have just stayed with Quark to begin with?"
Oh, and I'm with Larry on piracy - the people who are going to use their products for work are always going to pay, just as those who aren't going to pay are always going to refuse to pay, regardless of whether there is activation or not.
