What if you are not on-line, using a host that doesn't have access to the internet?

Without an internet connection Photoshop CS will not activate untill you telephone or fax Adobe and receive their authorization. Once you send them your computer serial number and your Adobe registration, I believe they send you a code which allows you to load the program on that particular computer. Of course, anytime you make the changes I mentioned, you have to repeat the process.

As far as more upgrades go, it's Adios Adobe for me, and BTW, maybe there is more "bloatware" installed as someone suggested, because I do notice that Photoshop CS is much more sluggish and balky than 7.0.
