I've been saving up my money to buy a 2nd copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium (photoshop, flash, flash video encoder, dreamweaver, fireworks, illustrator, contribute, acrobate, bridge). That 2nd copy would be for my MacBook. I have my current copy of CS3 installed on my dual G5.

My pal told me you can install CS3 on two computers. Adobe's site doesn't readily give you this information. You have to dig very deep and search to find their policy but here's what it is. You're allowed to install this package on TWO machines, as long as two of the same apps are not running at the same time. So you can't have photoshop open on both computers for instance.

Thanks to my friend, this just saved me a fortune.

and by the way... You can get around the Adobe issue with it not allowing you to run an app on one machine if the other machine has it running. Simply disable your network connection so so the app can't "call home."

There's a cool program that also allows you to keep tabs on these type of outgoing network items and even shut them down temporarily or permanently if you don't want apps calling home. It's called Little Snitch and it's inexpensive shareware.

Good tip on Little Snitch will have to check that out!

Little Snitch works great from what I hear but... Why Pirate?? lol its ok... You could always just download the trial version...and then enter your info..
