if you activate, they allow you to use the program. that’s a pretty big advantage, no?

note that REGISTRATION is NOT required to use the program. ACTIVATION IS required.

JB,

As Dave said, given that activation is required so as to use PS, then that alone is the advantage offered you. Of course, what you’re really asking is what advantage is there other than that, and the answer is simple…nothing. Activation is purely a mechanism for trying to protect Adobe from financial losses due to software piracy.

One exception might be that if you were to lose your installation media and serial number but had installed and activated PS already on 2 machines, then if someone else found your media and tried to use it with your serial number, they would be unable to activate and use PS. That would probably improve your chances of having Adobe replace your lost media since they would not only have a record of your registration but also the activations. I’m not sure if they check the activation history on software being replaced though, so it may really not be an advantage per se.

Regards,

Daryl
