I think it is too hard to have a unique identifier on each disk since they burn them in big bunches. Thats why they went with the activation scheme.
You may have gotten a copy of disks they make for institutions who buy by the "seat" and don't need the activation, it makes it much easier to install on multiple machines without having to activate each one.
I used to have a link to Adobe's site where they say it is OK to use academic versions for pay if you qualified academically at the time of purchase. They are really interested in getting folks on the upgrade train every 18 months...
