Hello,
I recently purchased an upgrade for Photoshop (photoshop cs), since our family has recently upgraded to Windows XP, and Photoshop 5.0 didn’t like XP. I’m quite worried, however, about product activation, since this house has 2 computers I’d like to upgrade Photoshop on. For the record, I’m the one using both of them.
The legalese on the "2 computers" part of the activation FAQ is confusing me. It seems to be that the activation is allowed on two computers, but they can’t be used at the same time. Does this mean simply that Computer A and Computer B can’t load photoshop at the exact same time, or does it mean that Computer B will refuse to load because of Computer A?
Also, what determines the "main user who licensed the software"? Is it the name provided during activation, or the Windows ‘user’ name?
Hoping this will get to someone,
Christopher Biberstein
