thanks love joe kissell, corresponded with him once a while back about an ebook he wrote.
Ira, I still think my coded excel file is fine — I don't think the software is needed, but I'm not closed minded.

Joe, thanks again. I concur. I do have clones of PHotoshop, and maybe the old laptop is what they think is the 2nd. I can't deactivate that now, as I deleted the whole app off it!

I chatted with Adobe for 40 min with some guy from India probably. HE said he fixed the license, but still it did not work. He said he would send a case number in 5-10 min, after the chat, but never sent it. He said to call Adobe tech. I called and it was a 5 hour wait, so I'm still battling!
