"What is rather interesting is how you have two installations on one system on separate drives. Did you copy the directory structure or did you do separate installs? Note that you can't simply manually drag and drop Adobe software installation folders. Software must be installed in particular directories by the installer. It is indeed possible that you somehow activated twice on one system; something that isn't supposed to happen. You could try deactivating the "extra" copy on the system with two copies and see if that releases you to activate on the other system. Otherwise you may need to contact Adobe's Product Activation group (phone number is on your computer screen if you get the "too many activations" message), explain the problem, and they should be able to bump your activation count by one for you.

If you are the "primary" (or better stated the "only") on both systems, that is fine. "

Hey listen, I appreciate your replies. I installed twice on separate drives (separate installs...is there another way to do it?) on my dads machine. I activated it separately because I didn't know how to do it any other way. He had one drive fail at some time and lost everything and had some mac guru install another drive and put everything on both drives just in case. Since I spend time at both my parents house and since my laptop is lame they let me install my cs4 and quark on their machines. They don't even know what cs4 is let alone use it but know I need it for school.

"It is indeed possible that you somehow activated twice on one system; something that isn't supposed to happen" It did. I don't need two on one machine but dad suggested it so I did it. The weird thing was I didn't even use it at my dads. I double clicked on a word attachment in an e-mail and illustrator launched and the message about the two machines came up. Needless to say I was very confused.
