I realize there are about 663 messages regarding CS activation and I’m sorry if my question is old hat stuff but I’m a little confused.My question is: Suppose for some reason I reformat my hard drive 5 or 6 times in a 1 year period. Now naturally this means I would have to reinstall CS on the same PC 5 or 6 times in the same time period. Does this mean I would have to call Adobe for their OK at least after the first 2 reinstalls even though its the same PC?
Thank you
Andrew

Depends on how you do the format. A format of the main partition (e.g., as part of an OS clean re-install)would be OK. If you do a low-level format from the BIOS, then you would probably have to call.
