What an amazingly stupid criteria for re-activation!

You are suspecting what I am suspecting? That the cracks aren't completely
effective?
It's funny seeing these guys scramble ... LOL

I say this is BS. Changing screen resolution makes no difference for me.
I do have a legal copy.

The keyword is "legal"

If you had a legit license, you'd realize that even then technical
support is not free but a costly proposition, often with no better
results than the great info brom knowledgeable professional that can be
found in theses NGs. I know from experience...

| In this group is lot of assholes called eg. "voivod" who think that only
legal copy of CS is free of bugs.

You could have an inferior crack for activating it.
Let's state the facts - most of the people pirating Photoshop aren't
exactly the brightest tools in the box.

Are you saying that Photo1v01 is wrong about the reactivation?
Getting accurate information around here from some of you folks
more interested in scoring points than in sharing data is very
difficult.

Thanks. Out of about five responses so far down this thread
yours is the first with actual information.

Thanks again. So we have two people reporting and having
opposite experiences. And a bunch of folks just talking.
For the folks with actual experience: what operating system
are you running. Perhaps that is a difference.
I've read a fair amount on the activation scheme (it is on
the Adobe web site). As with XP activation it takes a "snapshot"
of your hardware and encodes that somehow and makes it part of
your activation number. If you drastically change the hardware
it can then tell.
However, most activations schemes (and I assume this one) allow
you to make some few hardware modifications. For example I
suspect that if you changed your CD ROM drive it wouldn't matter
much. But replacing a hard drive MIGHT affect activation.
Determining the limits of this is useful --- and not for piracy.
I've often added a second hard drive to a working machine and
I've more than once had my primary hard drive fail. As long as
reactivation in such cases can be done without hassle, that's
one thing...
Speaking only for myself I find it difficult to understand why
changing the screen resolution would matter. That's a software
setting, though it *might* be readable from some video cards and
thus become part of the activation code. I don't know. I'd like
to find out since if (as I plan) I change monitors and screen
resolution six months down the road, how much hassle will I have.
I gather that Photo1v01 has had the hassle of reactivation, but
he's not had any problem in doing it other than the actual time
involved to contact Adobe. Is this correct?
And, of course, it is always possible that Photo1v01 has triggered
a bug in the system. If so it should be reported to Adobe so that
it can be fixed in the inevitable upgrade pack.

This may be something relating to the particular video card in the system in
question--I'd be interested if the people who reported this problem (and those
who didn't) would post details about their video hardware.
I've got nothing but bad feelings about hardware activation. I ran into a
problem with a client's computer recently where I was installing Windows XP,
and (as often happens with Windows) got a blue screen of death partway through
the install. After rebooting and reinstalling (which worked the second time),
the XP install claimed that it could not be activated because it had already
been activated--this despite the fact that it was a brand-new installer CD from
an unopened package. The crash during install did something that screwed up the
activation.
Another hour of my life, wasted on the phone with microsoft straightening it
out. If Photoshop does in fact have problems with screen resolution changes (I
don't know, and I won't know--I will not buy Photoshop again for as long as it
requires activation), then I may end up wasting another hour or two of my life
dealing with it at some client's site.
Life's too short for this. From now on, I think I'm adding activation cracks to
my standard library of tools I bring on-site with me. I really don't have time
for software activation problems, no matter whos software we're talking about.

Bricks imply sturdiness. If they had any spine, they wouldn't be pirating
software.

| I just did 200 screen shots for a client switching resolutions probably a
dozen times during this process (did it over several days) and not once did
Photoshop CS ask me to reactivate.
Something is wrong with the guys video card, video drivers, computer or he
doesn't know what he is talking about. No offense intended.

OK! That's two folks who say they have switched resolution
without any problems.
Perhaps a few more will chime in.
I agree that the problem could be with the video card, the drivers,
or whatever. The card/driver/operating system interaction is so
complex now that I could believe most anything.

Why? Just because he can switch screen res without an activation request?! I
hope Norman sees this and sues your hiney for libel.
If I were the sort of person to cast apersions I might even go so far as to
suggest that *your're* less than squeaky...
