4 Adobe InDesign CS3 unexpectedly quits on the Macintosh when placing, viewing or printing PDFs with 1-bit raster image data. 1549360 Table of Contents.

If I m not mistaken, Adobe software marries the computer. So if it works fine on Computer A, then it can only work on Computer A until it s deactivated. When that happens, Computer B can have it installed and activated. Unlike some software, it s not concurrency of use, but literal seats. So to have it legally installed on both systems, you d require two licenses.

The seats method is losing ground to concurrency amongst some software companies, because people are now multi-computer users. More and more of the software I buy can be run anywhere, just so long as it can ping home for a quick auth, to verify it s only running the number of instances it s been licensed for. Of course, that has drawbacks, too -- namely the requirement that a computer be online.

While I don t advocate keygens or cracks, I ve had some programs that simply pissed me off so bad that that s what I had to do. Their anti-piracy method was so draconian that legitimate users couldn t get it to behave properly. In most cases, the company went under, which is yet another strike against the ping-home model. In others, it was defective dongles. Damned if you do, damned if you don t.

Try to deactivate on the machine where it works. If it still causes grief, call Adobe. Yeah, I know, that s always an aggravating experience, but it s the only choice after all other sensible methods have been exhausted.
