I've got CS2, CS3 and CS4 all activated on the same iMac. Can I de-activate CS2 on the iMac and then activate it on my iBook, at the same time as keeping CS3 and CS4 activated on my iMac? Can anyone answer this?

It is really crazy-making. I'm still not entirely sure why Adobe does this... for example, if I buy a used computer from someone else who owned InDesign (but had removed it from the computer before selling it), I wouldn't be able to try a demo to see if I liked it! The only good solution is probably to erase the hard drive. That appears to work.
