With the Cs Suit software like Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Premiere the software checks with the Adobe servers every time it launches that it is running on the same computer it was activated on. The activation process is a two way process between you and Adobe.
The Lightroom password can be entered even if the computer isn't on-line, you can't activate one of the Cs applications if you are not on-line.
If a computer is stolen, or the Hard Drive packs up suddenly it can be a problem getting Adobe to release that installation version. In the case of theft they will I understand accept a Crime number, but sometimes they can take some convincing that a HD has packed up suddenly.
