Photoshop 8

Yeah was about then, it was posted at the start of 2003 on Neowin about PS8.

All I know about it that is important, (though not to everyone) is that it won't be useable for mac users unless they are using OS X, guess that means my lazy ass school is going to finally have to get new computers AND new software.

And it will be using the same activation method as the XP series of software from Microsoft.

and why does that make you smile? because the XP activation was cracked even before XP was out?

anyways, as we skipped version7 i´m sure the boss will buy a copy

I am lucky because I can use a license from work.

Won't work if the office copy is activated.

Famous last words ....

as if you would work for Adobe and would know already.

I hate to say it, but adobe employes aren the ones who leak the codes out before realese..Unfortunatley they do give employes free software and codes to unlock it that get handed around like a drunk blonde at a frat party....Ive been wooed by microsoft sales reps before..let me tell you..no company secret is ever safe...All I gota say is..It takes just a couple of emp[loyes who feel that the boss ripped em off or did em wrong and it all goes out the window....

ahhhh, anything made can be hacked...

suffice it to say that serial numbers and activation is nothing more than a lock on a screen door, it keeps honest people honest.

Maybe he has his work laptop? Was in that situation before. Really cool indeed.
Other than that, I think licences should be per person, not per station. You can't use any software on two station simultateously. 
That's how it works with Stardock products and I think it's a very honest and fair practice.
