I don't have any Acrobat products installed on my machine except what's in
Technical Suite, and Adobe Reader 8. I cannot generate PDFs on my machine at
all -- I email files to other family members who do that chore for me. I guess
I lost the URL you posted in the mish-mash of my digest version of the list.
I'll give it a try...

Subject: Re: TCS2 Distiller license problem
First, the license utility to which I posted the URL is supposed to work as a
kind of swiss army knife for licensing -- it's supposed to check all
parameters, not just the temp license. So I'd go ahead and run it to see if it
fixes the problem. If it doesn't work, at least you tried the public fix.
Also, Adobe provides free tech support for all installation issues, and this is
certainly an installation issue. Yes, you have to go through phone hell to get
support, but they usually keep working on an issue until it's resolved.
And for Chris's problem, Adobe also says very plainly that you can't have ANY
previous distiller versions on a system with any version of Acrobat. So if you
still have Maker or other components on your system, as you imply, you may have
diagnosed the problem yourself...
