You’ll have to call Adobe once you have it installed because your two activations are used up.
But don’t worry – it’s a breeze and they’ll give you a new activation code without problems, if you just take a few seconds to explain what happened. I’ve done it twice.
Install first and click activation by phone. Call the number that comes up for your country.

maybe. the activation count recycles and resets after a period of time. where you get to use them again. someone said 6 mos., but i don’t know for sure.
I doubt it, I think that was for CS and/or CS2. Now it’s 20 activations > call for 5 more.
During last fall and winter I did a lot of hardware tune-ups and component-swapping, and just as a precaution I deactivated every time. Not smart as we now know, because the next time I needed a regular new-system activation I found myself up against the 20-activation limit and had to call.
The point of this long story is that a 6-month recycle would have come in the middle of this and cleared me.

I think that’s total activations that bob was quoting FA. i’ve never heard anything saying they changed the reset policy. that’s pretty much standard procedure with hacktivation schemes since MS introduced it with XP.
I could be wrong though. anyway, i was just telling the original poster don’t be surprised if the activation goes through on line and you don’t have to call.
OK. Try that first Jenni.
OK. Thanks for the info. I will try activating first, then if that fails, I’ll have to call them.
