Greetings

Sorry to bring this topic up again. I've tried to read all the previous posts, but the more I read, the more it confuses me. I've only recently come to understand there are activation/ deactivation limits, and I need some guidance:

I have my drive cloned to an external Firewire. I usually do not use the clone, but may have booted from it a few times and opened some programs at random just to see if things appeared OK. I'm sure a few CS apps were included in this procedure.

I am going to be upgrading to Leopard from 10.4.11 and here's what I want to do:

1. Make a fresh clone of my 10.4.11 to my firewire drive.
2. Erase my hard drive, install Leopard 10.5 and reinstall all of my applications from the installer disks. Overkill perhaps, but it's my preference,
3. I will want to install CS4 on one other home machine - my wife is getting a new iMac. CS4 is not installed at all on her current iMac.

Is there any deactivation required, either on my machine or the clone?
