  • 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.

  • Upon upgrading to CC from CS6 suite, use the same serial number?

    Upon upgrading to this new Cloud, I was told I could continue to use my existing CS6 suite side by side with the new CC. But then I was told they use the same serial number, how is this possible?

    Please ask the question in the Creative Suites (http://forums.adobe.com/community/creativesuites ) or Creative Cloud (http://forums.adobe.com/community/creative_cloud) forums.

  • I will be upgrading from Windows XP, service pack 3, to Windows 7 Ultimate. Will I be able to use the same serial number for CS5 I am currently using on Windows XP on Windows 7 Ultimate? THANKS

    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:

    Oliver,
    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.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • I have bought lightroom 5 and loaded it onto my lap top but i want to buy a new lap top will i be able to load the same software onto my new laptop using the same serial number

    Can I use the light room 5 software I have bought to install it on my new laptop using the same serial number as before

    Yes, the Lightroom license key is single user/owner.
    It can be installed on two computers at the same time with one in use at any point in time.
    Mac & or PC.
    There is no deactivate process just uninstall from one and install on another as many times that is necessary.

  • I recently bought  Lightroom and installed on one of my computes. I wanted to instal the program on another computer I have, using the same serial number I already bought and I'm not alowed as it says that the SN is not valid. What shall I do?

    It is possible that you downloaded the Creative Cloud trial of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, this will not interfere with your catalog, preferences and personal files.
    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install, your license key will be accepted and everything will be fine.

  • Can I use the same serial again?

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop 12 and Premiere Elemets 12 as a packet. I installed them and etc but i also want to download them on my other computer. Do you know if i can use the same serial again? and how many times in total can i use it??

    The number of times you can use the serial number is not really limited.  It is the number of machines that you can have activated with it at any given time - two is the limit.  You can reuse it as needed for new installations as long as you have an activation available.  You can free up an activation to make it available for other use by deactivating an installation (opening a program and choosing Help -> Deactivate).

  • I've tried to install a downloaded version of cs5 master collection using the same serial number i used by installing it with the installation dvds and the error message says it's an invalid serial number

    as my adobe cs 5 master collections keeps having icc profiles and visualization issues, i've tried to reinstall the hole package. my mac book pro dvd reader is broken, so i downloaded from the adobe website a master collection and tried to install it with the serial number i used in the former installation but a error messages says that it's an invalid serial number.
    i've already tried to install from the dvd's in another mac and it worked, with the same serial number, so i'm out of solutions.
    any thoughts that may help me?

    Si precisases de qué lugar de Adobe o de otro sitio has descargado....
    Si indicases el nombre del archivo descargado,....
    Respecto a la instalación, repito la lección de ruta es un paso, que puede pasarse por alto, aunque no sé si la instalación convencional reconoce una red entre varios equipos.
    No hay ningun mensaje que indique que descargas una versión u otra, tampoco hay o sale ningun mensaje cuando instalas un programa en chino, eso si, al introducir el no. de serie (que no es el adquirido para la versión en chino) te dice que no es válido y punto. No más explicaciones.
    Asi que por favor explicanos lo preguntado al rincipio, o vuleve a descargar la versión correcta, en el idioma correcto y desde un lugar oficial de Adobe.
    Creo que Adobe te puede facilitar esa descarga a traves de la web "Licensing" con unas claves que te facilitarán si logras ponerte en contacto directo con ellos en tu país, (que tampoco sabemos cúal es). Suerte.
