That's great so by cloning, Adobe among other apps don't look at any unique aspect, whatever that would be, of the boot drive and it only takes one activation. That's a great bit of knowledge, thanks for sharing. That's too simple for me to think of. ;-) So if I had a fully functional avid boot drive with software activation for the Avid and everything is working fine with all my apps if I clone that drive if I had a drive melt down then I could put in the cloned boot drive and Avid would still work, right? This would prevent the catch 22 of a drive melt down with software activation. I know I'm stating the obvious here but I'm trying to understand if any unique aspect of a drive itself is involved with software licensing. Moving that drive to another computer wouldn't work because the mac address and other things about the computer itself would not match properly. Does this all seem correct or am I missing something that could bite me in the arse?
