It. Will. Never. Ever. Die.

[David Lawrence] “2016 is based on Adobe’s publicly stated long-range targets.”

And if they make those targets?

[Gary Huff]

[Steve Connor] “Yup, hardware failure and being locked out of your own software are EXACTLY the same”

The end result is the same.

[Gary Huff]

[Mitch Ives] “Bogus comparison. Most of us have more than one machine. I have four available Adobe stopped on both machines it was registered on. See the difference?”

Yes, you’re rich enough to afford 4 machines.

[Gary Huff] “And if they make those targets?”

And if they don’t?

As it would be if your Windows PC broke down, your Linux machine broke down, aliens invaded, etc etc

Not really, because one can easily hop over to Fry’s and buy a replacement part.

Unlike if your GPU goes out on your new Mac Pro.

Which has SO much to do with Mitch’s original point.

You’re probably right… he has a dry sense of humor. I was too tired to notice that… apologies…

Sorry it’s a British thing.

[Steve Connor] “Sorry it’s a British thing.”

Yes, and since I’m half Irish and the other half Scottish (or British depending on who you believe) I should have caught that…

Well, Mitch’s original point was that Adobe’s activation process went screwy on him. Yes, it sucks. But would you support Adobe just removing all of that all-together? Because that’s how to fix that issue.

All anti-piracy measures will screw legitimately paying customers. You either deal with it when it happens or you remove it entirely.
