Should be easy enough to work around - write a batch script that downs your network interface, starts DW and up's the interface again. Or if DW uses an odd subnet to broadcast on like one or two other apps out there, just firewall or route that off to a bit bucket. -- Tom C "Land of the free, home of the brave... you have to be brave to live there and enjoy the freedoms" ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: Change Serial # in Dreamweaver MX
I don't know of any way to change the serial short of re-installing. It shouldnn't matter though. I've never seen DW close like that. My office used to use the same serial across the board. As long as you own valid serials the one in the app shouldn't matter. I could be mistaken but I use DWMX and others in my company did too. Unless the Desktop guys were using different serials which I am fairly certain they are not. As a test I just booted my lap top and ran DW. My desktop has the same serial, no problems. -Original Message- From: Ruggiero, Kevin D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 02, 2003 1:21 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Change Serial # in Dreamweaver MX I have a new employee I'm working with in our group, and the guys who setup his workstation mistakenly entered my Dreamweaver MX serial # on his machine when installing it (we have a separate valid serial # for him, but it wasn't used).

I'd think that a method for doing so would be provided if it's going to check for other serial #'s on the network and shut you down if it finds duplicates. Thanks.
