About a month ago, Windows stopped working on my desktop system, so I had to wipe the C partition and reload Windows and all my applications. Since I also have CS 3 installed on my laptop, I was unable to do an online activation when I re-installed CS3 on my desktop. Fortunately, Adobe will allow you to re-activate CS3 after you explain the situation to them by phone.
Obviously I don’t want to repeat this experience. But I almost did, when my _laptop_ wouldn’t boot up after I made some changes to Windows. Fortunately I was able to recover this time.
So now I’m thinking that when Adobe activates CS3, it either creates an "activation file." I know that Microsoft does that when you activate Windows, and you can back up that file in case you have to re-install.
Anyone know if Adobe does the same? File name?
