Re: CS3 Activation

I see Help>Register ... NOT Help>Registration.

If I select Help>Register....., I get a Register Your Software dialog window
that asks for name, email address etc etc etc. There is nothing there about
activation.

I got this "new retail software" from ebay. It arrived in a shrink wrapped box
and everything about it looks legitimate. It installed OK and accepted the
serial number that was on the DVD disk case.

If this is bogus software, I never would have believed it. I will NOT buy
another one because there's no way to know if it's authentic.

If you buy it from Adobe it is. Perhaps the "Activate" option has been
removed from yours for a reason?

Here's what my CS3 menu looks like -

Confirmed as Murray said.

DW CS3 on WinXP, SP3


It's towards the bottom of the Help menu dropdown.

Registration...
Activate... ('greyed' out)
Deactivate...
Updates...

Time to report the seller to eBay and Adobe, you have bought pirated
software. http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/

Best do a scan for Spyware and virus whilst your at it, you don't know
what you have installed.
