If you in fact go over the two activation limit due to

your screen to talk with the Adobe Activation Center.
They are very understanding about such situations and
unless you abuse the privilege (such as having a hardware
failure every week), they will add an activation to your
copy via the activation server.
Good enough! I figured as much ... :) So, I did not worry
about it ... the laptop failure happened over 9 or 10 months
ago, and my new laptop has been fine. I did not even bother
to call Adobe about it when I got that message.
Thanks for the reassurance though!
Most of the big complainers were
in fact users who previously tried to install one copy
of a program on a whole fleet of computers.
It never fails me to amaze me that people think that what
they are doing is legal (and not a violation of the license
terms that they agreed to) and also dumb enough to think
that they would not be caught.
Sad ...

The activation mechanism supports two activations such
that you can use the software per the EULA. Note that if
you need to move from a system to another (i.e., a third
system), there is a function to DE-activate on a system
which adds one back to your available activation count.
That system does work pretty well.
I believe that Acrobat 8 has something similar. I discovered
that by accident ... my laptop died and I could not have gone
through the process of DE-activation. When I loaded it onto a
new replacement system, I got a screen message that it was being
activated a second time (or some such info, as I recall badly
now).
Since this license is only one machine anyway (I bought a second
copy of Acrobat 8 for my home system), I did not worry about it
at the time. I hope that this issue does not get in my way if
this laptop (or OS load) croaks and I have to reload the OS in
any way.
