Elliot, thanks for the heads up on this issue. Those of us who plan to use
FHMX for a long time have good reason to be concerned
Do you think your error could be related to this Flash activation issue?
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19466
"Some Macintosh users on computers that have multiple ethernet ports (for
example, the computer has both a built-in ethernet and an Airport card) may
be asked to re-activate when upgrading from an earlier version of Macromedia
Flash MX 2004 to version 7.2. After reactivating Flash MX 2004 version 7.2,
users may see an erroneous alert indicating the serial number has been
activated too many times."
I also found the Adobe activation policy
http://www.adobe.com/products/activation/
Here is a quote from part of the page.
---------------
- What happens if the product is discontinued?
Adobe is fully committed to honoring the terms of its product license
agreements. In the event that a product is discontinued, Adobe will enable
automatic approval of all activation requests for that product or provide a
means to remove activation outright. In either case, the customer will not
experience any change in software capabilities.
- Will I be able to use the software in perpetuity? What happens if Adobe
shuts down?
Adobe's product license agreements typically grant the user of an Adobe
product the right to use it in perpetuity, unless explicitly stated
otherwise. Adobe plans to honor these agreements. In the unlikely event of
the company's shutting down, we will enable automatic approval of all
activation requests or provide other technical means to allow users to
continue using our products.
