I loaded up the apps and for the first time there was NO activation check and I was connected to the net as I loaded them up!!!!

When everyone keep saying edit the host file, what do you mean? Is that all there is to it? And do I delete the original line? See below. I am running win 7 home and I got around the.

It ask for admin privilege to complete the replacement. I gave it and the replacement worked perfectly. What am I doing wrong? You have to enter serial no.. Arun…Yes, I know.

I am running Windows 7 on a new machine from 3 days ago, got CS4 installed, said serial invalid but gave me a 30 day trial, so if I do the host file change now will it delete Adobe from saying I only have usage for a limited time now down to 27 days and I am working on a big InDesign and Photoshop project?

After a motherboard failure and two days of replacing parts, all my programs were not recognizing their activation keys. The most dificult were Windows 7, office and CS4. Thanks for the info. And, YES i did buy licensed copies. David Noe.. If there is much change in the old point and new point, they will consider your machine as a new one. The funny thing is I have the paid version. But my computer crash, so I did not have a chance to deactivate the photoshop that I installed.

Whatever you think is a reasonable price to pay for the software you are copying. This option….. Not that I feel all guilty for pirating software, but this is…. For everyone. May karma reward you, God bless, etc. If you get a student to buy this for you, then you are still in breach of the EULA and as such, using an unlicensed copy.

In which case you might as well just steal the full version anyway. If you run notepad as an administrator, and the open and edit your hosts file, you should not have to worry about whether you have UAC enabled or not. Good luck.
