Licensing Issues.

[Phippsy2900]

I was wondering if someone could explain how a license is assigned to a
particular machine? My reason for asking is that we have a large number of
machines with contribute licenses, some of these machines have had problems and
are no longer used.

These machines aren't able to be turned on to transfer the license using the
help section of contribute. Is there a way of recovering these licenses?

Afaik the Contribute license allows you to install on a maximum of two
machines (read the EULA to be sure); so that shouldn't cause a problem,
except when you already have to do an install of the same license on a third
machine maybe. I'd say just try it, and if it turns out to be a problem,
contact Adobe.

Thanks for your reply.

That's the issue, we have a number of licenses that we need to somehow get off
machines that are completely dead, hard drive fails etc. i've been able to
install contribute on PCs that have had it in the past and remove the license
with no problem, but obviously with these PCs we're unable to turn them on.
