Your product activation[ Parent ] (none / 0) (#30)
by Anonymous User on Wed Sep 08, 2004 at 12:17:42 PM PDT

I already sent you an email stating that I will not be held hostage by you or anyone else and that includes the assumption, by you, that I am guilty of software piracy until I prove otherwise by activating my software! Whether you realize it or not it is insulting and demeaning! I purchased Dreamweaver MX and since that is the last version that is activation-free, it will be the last copy of Dreamweaver I will ever purchase. I have already said the same to Adobe as I have the last versions of four of their major products that are without activation. Those will no longer be upgraded as well for exactly the same reason. Voting with my wallet is the only recourse I have against you and this mass stupidity that is taking over the industry. I hope to hell that a groundswell of consumer animosity takes place and you and every other company that has foolishly taken this course finds yourr revenues dropping through the floor and end up staring bankruptcy in face! It is the only thing you seem to understand and the only thing you deserve for treating your customers this way. See-yahhhh!
