Default Backing Up Activations For Microsoft Reader
http://channels.lockergnome.com/mob...ctivation.phtml

"If you read ebooks on your Pocket PC which have Digital Rights Management protection on them, you have to activate the MS Reader application from the Microsoft Reader web site. Don�t get me started about the MS Reader DRM but this tip is for those users who use the Reader ebooks. Every time you do a hard reset on your Pocket PC, the activation is lost and you have to go through the whole process of activation again. You also run the risk of exceeding your allowed number of activations (6) and losing access to your ebooks forever. There is a way to save your activation and carry it back to your Pocket PC after a hard reset which prevents the need to reactivate the Reader online."

I've seen this tip recur in the forums over and over, but this article does a nice job of summarizing it up. Note that you shouldn't have to do this; multiple activations on the same device shouldn't count as separate activations. Nevertheless, it's a useful trick to have.
