I've felt that pain. When we upgraded our computers about a year ago the PC tech that imaged the software on to the drives used the same Quark validation disk for each machine. Productivity ground to a halt as Quark could see the other "validated" copies across the network and refused to run on more than one machine at a time. What a headache to fix, too. Quark hides their validation info deep, no amount of uninstalling/registry cleaning could fix it. We ended up having to re-image the machines.
* In the (not so) old days, before the demise of floppy
drives, there would be validation disks which were really a pain. If they
didn't get lost, they would often get damaged and rendered unreadable. In a
workgroup you always had to keep track of which validation diskette belonged
to which workstation. Yow!!*
