Can I use the same serial number for mac and pc?

My problem is that my mac is falling apart and I don't know how long it's still working - can be hours or can be months. I'm not sure if my next computer is mac or PC, so I'd like to know if the same serial number can be used with both mac and PC? I have understod that I can delete the program from my old computer and then use the same serial number in my next computer (Is it working that way?). So if I now buy a lisence for mac, can I use the same lisence later with PC?

  • How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

    I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

    Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
    Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
    Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
    This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong

    Sorry Fred you are wrong.
    If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

  • Can I use the same serial number for master suite when reinstalling after clean install of windows 8

    I am reinstalling windows because windows got corupted. I can not access my computer to deactivate the software.  Do I need to be worried about not having deactivated it? I will be reinstalling mastersuite 6 after I get windows 8.1 clean installed on the same computer. I just want to make sure I will not have any problems reinstalling and setting up the adobe mastersuite after I have installed windows 8.1. I don't want to have a problem with the serial number still being registered to my old installation of windows that will have been on the same pc.
    Thanks for your help!

    Your previous activation will still be in the loop, so you should contact Adobe support and ask them to reset your activations.  That way you can be sure you have the two your license allows for.  You can always skip this if you only activated once before but it will leave you with no extra activation should you find a use for a second installation.

    You should be able to. Just deactivate your copy of CS5 on your old computer. Open one of the applications and choose Help > Deactivate.
    Use your original install discs or a backup of your install file to install on the new computer. Or download here:

  • HT204053 Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services from two different devices - iPhone and iPad?

    Can I use the same Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime services simultaneously on two different devices - iPhone and iPad? It seems those are competing to each other, and the services work on one of them only (iPhone).

    Many thanks, Sir! Both are mine and it's good to know that imessage can work on both with the same Apple ID. Will now have to find out why imessage stopped working on iPad when it started on iPhone (new). After exploring the forum I understand  that there may be plenty of reasons why imessage does not work, even though it worked previously on the same device with the same ID.

  • Can I use the same trip number for several travelers?

    Hi everybody.
    This is my question... We need (in travel expenses) to use any field in order to group (add) several trips made for several travelers (in same dates).
    Expl: several travelers made the same trip (with different receipts and costs). We need to create a "supra-level" group (which could help our user to summarize, authorize, etc).
    I have made some tests changing the trip number assignment (in trip schema) to external one. The system seems not to have any problem if I assign the same trip number to several travelers (please, could you tell me if this is correct?).
    I´m not sure this could be the best solution, because I have one question... If I have travel request and travel expenses... can I assign external range numbers to the travel request? (how can I do it?).
    Please, could you tell me something about this? (if this is not correct, could you tell me if it´s possible to create a new field to do this?)
    Thanks!!!!!!

    Hi,
    As mentionned in an earlier response, you cannot assign the same trip number to multiple employees.
    If you are looking to group together similar claims based on the type of travel which was done, you can always use any of the following fields which can be made 'available' on the entry screen.  That is the 'Activity Type' or the 'Trip Type Specific' or the 'Trip Type Enterprise'.  By creating categories of types of travel, you can then use these values as selection parameters in your reports to isolate specific costs related to specific activities.
    For example, you know that many employees will be traveling for a specific conference and you want to be able to report on the total cost of that conference, you could create an Activity Type and ask employees to complete the field with the appropriate value when completing the claim.  Then you could create a report on that Activity Type only.
    Another option would be to use Internal Orders.  Create an internal order, have the employees assign their costs to the IO and then run a CO - IO report.
    Depending on how 'permanent' your employee groupings are, you could also use some fields on Infotype 17 to assign different employees to different employee groupings.  These employee grouping values are also available as selection parameters in the reports and can allow you to isolate groupings of individuals. 
    It all depends where you want to create the grouping....
    Hope this helps you somewhat...

  • How can you use the same Apple ID for music and apps but have a different iCloud

    Collectively in my family we have 1 iPhone 2 ipod(4th gen) and 3 iPad mini's and we like to buy music and apps through the same Apple ID so that we can all share it but we also have a problem about the iCloud.
    My son has one iPod and one iPad and he would like his contacts and messages to be shared between HIS two devices but he would also like all of the pictures taken in the family to be shared
    The same for my daughter and for me.
    Is there a way of selecting which devices share what????
    Thanks a lot
    Acwills

    You could and should set up different iCloud accounts in "Settings > iCloud", so that every user has its own email account, calendars, reminders, notes, storage for backups and app data (files etc.), by the way everyone could also use his own account for iMessage (Settings > Messages > Send & Receive) and FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) so that you all could write and call each other.
    Next the Apple ID for music, apps and other media: You all could just set up the ssame Apple ID in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores" for all your media purchases like songs, movies, apps etc.

  • HT201303 Can I use the same Visa card for multiple accounts?

    Can I use the same Visa card for mine and also my partners apple account? Or is it one card can be linked to only one account?

    You can use one card for a few account. I would believe it you attempted to use it on too many accounts (5+), it may cause some issues. But using the same card on two accounts is fine.

    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.
