08.221.2003 - Adobe adopts product activation

It was reported earlier this year that Adobe Systems Inc. was testing online activation in Australia. They have since completed the testing and plans to implement the technology in the near future. Adobe's software has in the past been protected by a serial number, which the user had to type into the installation program. But licence keys have been posted in many Usenet news groups, and "key generators" — software that can generate a working serial number for a given program — are also becoming popular. - View Additional Information - Visit Adobe Systems Incorporated - Source: Bell Globemedia Interactive Inc.
