should have bought a macintosh in the first place. adobe software /
activation works fine on them. but of course adobe programs work better
on macs in the first place, so what did you expect?

as a side note, what can you be using on adobe that isn't already better
on the mac? adobe writes code for macs first, then later ports them to
pcs.

Have you tried right clicking the shortcut to the program and running as
Admin.
This "might" let you activate it.

If all else fails you might have to create an Admin account so that you
could activate the programs.

Joe: "your reply was useless to say the least".

If you own a Mac then why the hell are you posting in a Microsoft group. I
might be wrong but the last time a read about Macs it did not mention
anything about Vista and Macs being the same thing.
If people wish to use vista then so be it, but if you wish to use a Mac then
that is your choice.
At the end of the day it is all "horses for courses".
Use what you like and to hell with the people who tell you what you should
be using.

Launch application from a desktop icon by right clicking and taking "Run
as Administrator". All is the well and you can activate the program
online.
