If you are familiar with some of the - um - forceful exchanges in the Poser forum here then the product activation threads on the Adobe forums will make you feel right at home - particularly those on the InDesign and PS forums. Creative Studio comes in plain (standard) and fancy (pro) versions: PS, AI, ID are in both, plus Acrobat and GoLive in the big one, and a fancy "version management" utility which received a glowing write up in this morning's Guardian (London) but which I'm having trouble getting the full point of. The Studio packs don't include manuals for the applications, though the individual upgrades do, and if you buy a Studio pack you have to upgrade (if you decide to) to further Studio versions, not individual products on a pick-and-choose basis. Activation is like the Macromedia MX version - you can deactiviate when you want to move to another machine, so only dead hard disks or stolen systems should see you phoning support. You are also, I gather, allowed to activate up to eight times a year (at one-and-a-half month intervals, the way the XP activation resets after six months) which should cover all but the most unlucky.
