BTW, I *have* dealt with Windows XP's activation issues and it was less hassle than the limitations on Dreamweaver - sure I was on hold for a while but I didn't have to buy a new copy or anything. When I buy a full price software package (not an OEM or discounted item) I expect that I can reinstall it on whatever platforms are supported. Let me rephrase that, I *will* reinstall it as *I* see fit, EULA or not. When you buy a car it won't suddenly not let you drive it because "you already drove to the store twice today, sorry".
As for the BSA, they notify you before they begin their crusades through your offices, IIRC they have no legal backing to just waltz in and examine what they want without doing so first. Its not like you're hiding dead bodies, its software. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include <stdjoke.h> -----Original Message----- From: Jared Rypka-Hauer - CMG, LLC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 12:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: I Hate Macromedia Have you tried authorizing XP after 3 reinstalls with the same key? Macromedia's a dream... Microsoft sends the Agents from the Matrix thru the phoneline into your head to make sure you're not trying to rip them off AND to collect the serial number off your IP. You'd be lucky to get that much help from anyone. And, since I spent over 40 minutes on hold waiting for a Belkin rep to answer my question and be told I'd have to call the OS writer for the problem, and then, when I DID figure out the problem that I'd spent 4 hours on it turned out to be an apparent bug in their friggin firmware for the WAP and they hadn't ever answered my question. Anyway, the Transfer Licenses menu option should cover you... and keep perspective. Laterz, J PS - If for no other reason, you want to keep your software legal because you don't want the Digital version of the CIA, most commonly known as the BSA, storming thru your office and nailing you $25,000 for every unlicensed copy of your software. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
