I just tried using Flash 9 and was told I needed to register again. So I let it, and it told me that my serial number had reached its limit on the number of registrations. One of the things they told me I could do is find one of the other places where I'd installed it and deregister.
The problem is, most of those don't exist any longer. For instance, there was a copy on Arcturus one time, but I deleted it. It seems that doing a Windows uninstall doesn't involve calling home to deregister, so that one still counts.
I think what this means is that I'm going to have to put the 200G drive back into Procyon and bring up Vista again, so that I can deregister the copy which is on there.
But I shouldn't have to do so. This copy of Flash was working under Vista; doing a Win7 upgrade shouldn't make it stop working.
UPDATE: Well, before I try that, I'll see if Adobe tech support can help me. (Heh heh heh heh...HAA HAA haa haaa... I break myself up sometimes.)
UPDATE: I'll be damned. It's the next day, and I received an email response this morning telling me that they'd fixed it. I assume they incremented my use-count. Anyway, I just did the registration thing again, and this time it didn't bounce.
So good going, Adobe tech support!

Enclose all spoilers in spoiler tags:

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)
At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
