RE: Deactivate not available for for Framemaker 10
A quick note . . . I have previously deactivated FM on the "old" laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled it. I am the Administrator and this isn't an issue with other Adobe programs on the same laptop (Captivate, Acrobat). . . all have the Deactivate option available w/out having to right-click and run as Administrator. I have been the Administrator on this laptop since the cows came home, but as Craig has mentioned, this isn't the issue. I contacted Adobe and evidently, this is a known quirky issue that they aware of but can't understand why/how it happens. I worked with Adobe support to get a resolution. I appreciate all the responses. A few offlist also stated that they went through this issue and the machinations that they had go to through with Adobe to get it resolved was painful. One more day until Friday.

Re: Deactivate not available for for Framemaker 10
I know you are set up as the administrator on the laptop, but is it possible you're not running FrameMaker in the administration mode?
