Had a client doing a re-install, and they ran ino an issue with the
7.01 update not working. This was with original media and original
s/n.
Quick google search revealed two threads (2002, 2003) on the issue, mainly people looking for hacks/cracks/etc.
Adobe would not offer a new V7 password for free, but did offer a reduced-price upgrade to CS2 (with apropriate new s/ns) with proof of original media and purchase of PS7,IS10, and AcrExch3. Regardless of how the s/n walked away, it is the reponsibility of the original holder to maintain control of it. As a bonus, CS2 will allow two installations: one for primary workstation use, the other for use by the designer on a portable or home w/s.
Just putting this out there for others in corporate environments that may have had s/ns ‘walk away’ over the past few years, here is a partial list of known compromised s/ns that the 7.01 update will check for and reject (I’ve inserted Xs to obfuscate them from simple specific searches)

(and yes, I do realize that this has the potential side-effect of giving someone a working 7.0 s/n, but another google search would reveal all of these and more regardless – this list is for corporate users who are wondering if their s/ns are in the officially known list of bad s/ns)
The CS2 upgrade is worthwhile, but may require a hardware upgrade as well: performance was not acceptable, in comparison to 7.01, on the standard PIII/850 desktop with 512MiB of RAM.

7.01 update not working. This was with original media and original
s/n.
Quick google search revealed two threads (2002, 2003) on the issue, mainly people looking for hacks/cracks/etc.
Adobe would not offer a new V7 password for free, but did offer a reduced-price upgrade to CS2 (with apropriate new s/ns) with proof of original media and purchase of PS7,IS10, and AcrExch3. Regardless of how the s/n walked away, it is the reponsibility of the original holder to maintain control of it. As a bonus, CS2 will allow two installations: one for primary workstation use, the other for use by the designer on a portable or home w/s.
Just putting this out there for others in corporate environments that may have had s/ns ‘walk away’ over the past few years, here is a partial list of known compromised s/ns that the 7.01 update will check for and reject (I’ve inserted Xs to obfuscate them from simple specific searches)
