Adobe Acrobat

OK, so I purchased a MacBook Pro to run (primarily) Windows because Acrobat is such a resource hog - especially when GeoXPS add-in is included. (My old laptop just didn't have the horsepower, and the MacBook Pro has the graphics processor to permit Acrobat to run unimpeded.) Problem: I'd like to be able to run both virtual machine (Parallels) and Boot Camp mode with Acrobat, depending upon my power consumption mode - AC power or battery. MacBook runs a LOT longer using Parallels virtual machine mode, so I need that option for travel. But Acrobat counts these as two separate implementations, meaning I need to uninstall Acrobat from my old laptop (which I intend to continue to use for personal use).

Is there any way to get Acrobat to recognize that my MacBook is really only one system and to quit counting it as two separate installations?

Applications that require activation, including those from Adobe and Microsoft, may see the virtual machine as a new machine, even when using the Boot Camp partition. This thread here on the Parallels forum may be of help:

(FYI, for those reading this who may not be aware, Adobe applications can be activated on up to two computers. See this FAQ: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/100/1008779.php)
