no i dont think the activation part does that. for "activation" it sends the ip address of your internet and what kind of internet you are going to use. thats why adobe told me for activation. because for adobe I had to Activate and Register, and i didnt know the difference.

i really dont think i need another key for putting it on my laptop but i will see.

Windows activation works differently—it sends some information on your hardware configuration, making it very difficult to put the same copy on another machine. (It won't run on a computer if two or more "vital" components change.)
