*Skip this and get to the juicy parts if you don't want to be bored to tears*
Recently my computer (a MacBook) had a harddrive failure, so I lost all of my Flash 10 files. Naturally I was a little pissed, as I was working on a game (Game01.swf) with my brother. Well, I recently received a PC from my dad (one that he doesn't use anymore), and I wanted to get Flash onto it without having to buy it again. This is where the fun comes in.
*If you skipped that last bit, this is where you want to come back in ;)*
To do this, you must FIRST do the following:
Go to the start menu > my computer > local disk > windows > system 32 (I ASSURE YOU I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU DELETE YOUR HARDDRIVE) > drivers > etc > hosts
When you get to this file, click on it and open it in Wordpad. Edit the last bit of the file (after everything else) to say "127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com"
Download Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc. and use a USED code.
A good website for USED serial numbers is Youserials.com. Keep in mind that while they say it is a "premium area", you CAN click on the background and select all, then copy it into wordpad and find the serial number you want to use. Also, keep in mind that some numbers will not work. For this part, persistence is key.
Enjoy your newly "registered" products. (always click register later if you get the screen asking for registration) ;)
Enjoy,
