Is there deactivation limit to CS3?

Because I had some hardware issue recently, I encountered activation issues with a couple of software with my new hardware. And it brought back the nightmare of having to deal with Macromedia on transferring license as there was a limit.
I wonder Adobe practices any limit on activation.

My 2¢. I have read the Adobe statements and licensing info. Their "intent" seems to be best expressed in lay terms (without the legalese) in http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/ .
Simply put: the software may be installed on two computers, but not used simultaneously. While this is fairly reasonable and is intended, as Adobe has stated elsewhere to allow a user to use, for example, Photoshop at the studio and then go home and work some more, it falls short of a more realistic typical scenario in which there is a laptop which gets used in the field. Taking Adobe at its word(s), Adobe has addressed this by allowing the user to deactivate the license on, say, the studio computer and activate the laptop for the trip to the field. This is obviously something that might happen frequently, maybe five times in a week, and to be useful cannot have any limitation to the number of times and be consistent with Adobe's statements.
A better policy might be to allow a third activation (to avoid the stress of having forgot to deactivate office computer and activate the laptop before flying somewhere) provided the user signs a clear, concise pledge to Adobe that he/she will ensure that only one installation will be used at one time. I think such a pledge is much more likely to be honored than clicking the "I agree" checkbox on the mostly unread license agreement during software installation. Fortunately, Lightroom does not have this activation process. I use my (paid) Lightroom just like the scenario described above. I will note that this has largely eliminated the need for Photoshop on the laptop except for extended trips.

  • How many Apps can i have on my iPod Touch, is there a limit?

    Is there a limit on how many Apps i can have on my iPod Touch?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot, that was very helpful.
    I am pretty sure that there's 16 Apps per page,
    so...16 X 9 = 144 - 13 pre installed Apps.
    131 total available (slots) for Apps.

  • Is there a limit to the amount of SWCS I can use in my Flash Builder app?

    I have 3 swc folders in my flash builder project that includes about 40 swcs total. Each swc is a simple flash animation with a size of about 500 kb each. When I include and complile about 20 of them in my project, things work fine.
    When I try to include all my swcs, the app compiles, but when i make changes in my code and save those changes, each time the compile becomes slower and eventually my flash builder freezes at about 52%, gives me a "java heap error" message, and then crashes. After restarting FB, when I take out most of the swcs from the build, FB acts normal again. Attached is a screen shot of my error.
    Is there a limit in size or amount of swcs that I can use in my FB application?

    There are no limits. But there is a known memory leak (which is being fixed for a later release).
    Would it be possible to attach a sample SWC so that we can confirm whether this is a known leak or not? I'll take care of filing this in bugs.adobe.com.
    Meanwhile, in your Flash Builder installation directory, you can edit FlashBuilder.ini to bump up max heap size by editing:
    -Xmx512m
    to
    -Xmx800m

  • Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message?

    Hello
    Is there a limit to the number of email addresses in one message with Mac Mail?
    I am trying to send out to c900 email addys and am being told my server does not recognise the email addresses. I will check with the folks hosting the email also.
    Many thanks
    Matthew Causon

    Ooh, yes, 900 emails at once will absolutely not work (unless you get very very lucky).
    If this is just a one-off, you should group the addresses into, at the very most, 50 addresses, and send batches. If you're doing this a lot, I would recommend using something like DirectMail.

  • Is there a limit to the number of addresses can I put into a group of multiple users in my address book?

    I have just started using Thunderbird and want to set up a number of list groups in my Address Book so that I can simply click on the list name and the email goes to multiple people.
    Is there a limit to the number of addresses that I can put into each group? Or, can I put as many addresses into each group as I want to? Thanks for your answer.

    Thunderbird has no limit.

  • In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

    To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
    The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
    If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

  • Is there a limit to the number of Apple TV's attached to an iTunes Library

    I recently replaced 7 (seven) Version 1 Apple TV's with Version 3 Apple TV's and noticed that I now receive an error, "Cannot connect to the iTunes Library, ensure that you are on the same network, etc." on two of the Apple TV's. Shutting down iTunes and relaunching results in two others not being able to connect, but two of the previous non-connects now do. I've tried this several times and each time it appears as if only 5 of the ATV's can connect at once. Is this a limit imposed upon by Apple? Is there any workaround besides having two of the "non-connects" access the iTunes store for purchased content? The library is extensive and contains a lot of purchased content, but also contains legacy content from old CD's, DVD's and the like. I'd like to be able to access all of it if possible.
    Note that the way this used to work with the older ATV's was that 2 would directly sync and 5 would stream. But with each new iteration of iTunes these ATV's seemed to get flakier and flakier hence the replacement. The new ATV's are all connected via Home Sharing.
    I'm running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac Mini OS X Server (10.6.8). Would it help to upgrade to the latest OS?  I can understand bandwidth issues, but we're running a Gigabit ethernet (wired) network to these ATV's and the old ones worked fine previously. Why impose this limit? Come on Apple. Give us a little love for those of us that push your tech to the limit.

    Perhaps you would post the exact message (because that is not what is states)?

  • Is there a limit to number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account?

    Is there a limit (set by itunes or elsewhere) to the number of devices you can simultaneously sync to one itunes account/PC/Mac? Using USB hubs or other sync/charge devices?

    iTunes can only sync one device at a time.
    There is no limit to the number of devices you can sync consecutively with the same library.
    Each device can hold protected content from up to five accounts.
    Up to 10 computers and iOS devices can be authorised for automatic downloads of an Apple IDs available purchases (some items may only be downloaded once).
    Up to five computers can be authorised to each Apple ID at any one time.

    For legitimate bulk mailing, you should use a hosted service such as "MailChimp."

  • Is there a limit to how many ipods you can have on one computer?

    We have 5 iPods between myself, my spouse and my kids. I manage all of our music, video and games from my iMac. I am planning to purchase the new 3G iPhone on Friday. Is there a limit to the number of devices that I can have on my iTunes account? I seem to remember getting some kind of message about 5 account authorizations when I first synced my most recently purchased iTouch. Are "accounts" related to the computer or the iPod devices?

    The "five" limit is for +number of computers+ using an iTunes Store account. It has nothing to do with the number of iPods connected to a computer.
    As far as I know, you can have as many iPods as you want connected to a single computer and one iTunes installation. There may be a computer limitation in how may iPods you can connect simultaneously, but there should not be a practical limit in how may iPods can be associated with your iTunes installation.

  • Is there a limit on how many times I can install my CS5?

    I own CS5 and have it installed on 2 computers. I need to upgrade my computers and am wondering if I am going to have any trouble installing CS5 onto new machines. Is there a limit on how many times I can install the program? Do I have to verify ownership first or what?

    I believe the limit on how any times an application can be installed has been removed, but, as it stands, there is no limit to the number of installations you can have... just the number of activated installations.  For what it sounds like you are doing, there is should not be an issue of hitting a limit even if there is one.
    If you are reinstalling on new machines then you probably want to deactivate the current installations before you attempt to activate on the new machines.

    From what i've read on here that SR102 Hub is only capable of accepting 20 wireless connections(might even be lower and just 16) anymore and it can cause devices to loose connection or just not connect at all.
    There is as of yet no way around this limit with the hub( you could purchase a wireless access point or a better router to piggyback onto the hub which might help). Edit the intial number of connection i stated may be wrong so i've adjusted the figure.

  • Is there a limit as to how many devices you can connect with Edge Inspect?

    Is there a limit as to how many mobile devices you can connect with Edge Inspect? 
    Also, do we need a dedicated wi fi hub for all these devices? Are there any wi fi limitations with connecting more than 20 devices and connecting to wi-fi?
    Thanks

    The free version of Edge Inspect limits you to connecting to one device concurrently. (You can certainly disconnect from that one and connect to another if you wish, but it's just one at a time.)
    If you purchase an Edge Inspect subscription, or have a paid Creative Cloud membership, then you can connect an unlimited number of devices concurrently. (Note that I have seen up to 35 connected at once.)
    For info on purchasing options, see this blog post: http://blogs.adobe.com/edgeinspect/2012/10/23/how-to-purchase-edge-inspect/
    It does not have to be a decicated wifi router, although it certainly can if that makes sense for you. For example, at my home I have a single wifi router that I always use for my laptops and video streaming devices, with my desktop computer connected to the same router on Ethernet, and I can connect my 5 tablets and 2 mobile phones to Edge Inspect on the same router with no issues.
    My router says it can support up to 250 connections at once (Ethernet + wifi); however, I have nowhere near that many devices so I could not put that to the test. I think a more reasonable limit is around 30; however, that is just based on having to share bandwidth. You might want to check what your router says is its limit.
    Just keep in mind that the more devices you have downloading data, the slower the performance will be.
