beta version is 8.0x104
final version is 8.0x118

you can check this by click on help>system info

It activate smoothly and like beta there is no shortcut problem and no time limit.

only thing is NEAT IMAGe PRO plus 2.6 is not working with PS v8
and digital SHO/ROC not working.

Not everyone is as happy with CS as you are, but I'm glad to hear you like it.

CS probably works just fine for the majority of owners, but it is not unexpected that a program this complex and feature rich has a few problems that were not caught during beta and user testing. It just goes with the territory.

Neat Image is offering a free upgrade to version 3.1. It is working on my copy of PS CS. But so did my previous version. I just don't remember now if it was 2.6 or 2.61.

I am trying to learn that as adobe display in their ads.
If some one describe it Elaborately then it will be very helpfull
