Thanks. When flicking through the manual I thought that the activation
transfer was probably the answer to this problem. Unfortunately for
some reason Adobe's website is hopeless to get into (either from their
office or my connection at home via a different ISP) and that includes
the product activation timing out. I had to phone up to get the
activation code for the first license I installed - luckily I wrote it
down just in case.

Now I just need to decide which iMac is the best one to install the
second license on so I have to transfer as little as possible.
