I have a license key for Adobe Acrobat v5 (this was purchased leagally), but the CD is lost. Does anyone know where I can find another copy? I'd love to be able to download this. I phoned Adobe but they would only sell me an upgrade to the latest version.....thanks!

I suppose the analogy would be going to your local bookstore and asking for another copy of War and Peace because you left it on a bus, even though you still had the receipt for the book.
This is sort of on topic inasmuch as you can back up your licenced adobe application to a media disc so if you loose the original disc through theft or by whatever means you can re-install using your licence key. Or you could have made a photocopy of War and Peace.
Not so If you purchase a DVD movie and you want to back it up. The US courts have ruled against 321 studios DVD X Copy because it contains a de-encrypting system for copying DVD movies. It would seem that it is possible to copy a legally purchased version Adobe Acrobat 5 to a CD-R disc, also to photocopy a book bought from amazon.com, but not if you buy a DVD movie which could be lost, stolen, damaged etc.
