REregistering photoshop on new machine
I recently bought a new computer and want to sell my old one. I do not want to buy CS6 again, and want to "unregister" it from my previous machine and reregister it on my new computer. Is there a way to do this without having to purchase anything?
>Now it's 20 activations > call for 5 more.
I think that's total activations that bob was quoting FA. i've never heard anything saying they changed the reset policy. that's pretty much standard procedure with hacktivation schemes since MS introduced it with XP.
I could be wrong though. anyway, i was just telling the original poster don't be surprised if the activation goes through on line and you
don't have to call.

reloaded Photoshop CS5 (New Machine) and now it won't open, get a message "Could not open scratch file because disk is not available", so pS won't go any farther.
If prefs are the same as Settings on a MAC, OK, it would have been more
clear to me if you had said Settings since I didn't see anything related to
prefs. On a PC, I know what you mean, On a MAC, wasn't sure.

Regarding copy of photoshop for new machine?
I bought, downloaded and installed copy of Photoshop CS at the end 2012 on a
MacBook Pro, which I have used without problems. However, that machine is
now being retired and replaced with a new MacBook Pro. Can I move the software
to the new machine and update the license, or is it possible for me to reinstall
a new copy from Adobe? Please let me know what to do.
Thank you.Hi William,
Kindly check the System requirements | Photoshop
As per EULA, you can install and activate the product on 2 machines however, can't use both of them at the same time.
Before installing it on a new machine, make sure your deactivate it from old machine.
Activation & deactivation help
Thanks,

? Why does my Photoshop PS2 open on my Mac Book Pro OS 10.6.8 Intel Core 2 Processor but not on my just purchased Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3? On my new machine I get a message saying "You can't open Photoshop CS2 because Power PC applications are no longer supported". I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy
This is not new. The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now. You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop

Brand New Machine and Photoshop CS6 running very slow
I just installed Photoshop CS6 on my new Machine and it is running horrible. Moving around objects, turning effects on/off, zooming, and more all take for ever to render. I can not figure out why. I have updated video card drivers and more. Scratch Disk is set to a second disk and messed with all of the GPU settings. Only photoshop runs bad on this machine. I should not be having issues with the system. Below is the system info from Photoshop. Also this machine is running with two SSD drives which should make PS run even faster.

Tried Photoshop at all sorts of various settings including default. All with the D drive being used for the Scratch disk. Working on the similar size file described above. The file I am working on now is 4000 x 4800 pixels, CMYK, 8 bit depth. Photoshop is slow selecting layers with auto select, very slow when moving layers around the Canvas, and slow rendering the Canvas when zooming in and out. This document also has about 30 layers and is 80mg.
I only use the 64 bit version of Photoshop these days. Also all three monitors are set at 60 Hertz. Photoshop is closed and reopened upon all changes.
I use to be a Photoshop Certified Expert in CS3 so I am extremely familar with the product. I am just stumped. -
I have a new computer am trying to install photoshop elements 5.0 on the new machine need reg-id
how cab I find my registration id... I have the cd and the booklet, but not the original case... is it viewable in the old machine?
Jeff, Thanks for the reply. I don't have proof of purchase.. all I kept was the two cd's and the instruction book.I bought it in June of 2008, and don't think I have bank records that far back.I was hoping I could get the information from my installed copy.. there a long number on the bottom rightwhen I open it, but that didn't work and a number etched on the back of the cd... but it too didn't work....

It is not viewable on your old computer. We may be able to get you a replacement serial number. Do you still have your proof of purchase for Photoshop Elements 5?

Hi. Good morning, I intend to purchase the Photography Photoshop program. The Rs 499/month one. I currently use an Mac Air. But intend to buy a iMac in about 2 months time. Will I be able to transfer this program or continue using this on my new machine?
My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck! -
If I buy/download photoshop elements onto my work laptop, then change my laptop, will i be able to transfer my licence onto the new machine.
Yes. You are allowed to install PSE on two computers at once, but if you don't need it on the first computer anymore, go to editor>help>sign out to deactivate it and free up one of your activations for future use.
As for moving your photos and catalogs to another computer, see:

As indicated in the header question, I've been unable to get PS CS3 to run (other than in "trial period" mode) on my new laptop. I purchased CS3 a few years ago and had it up and running on my former (now deceased) machine; I still had the activation key. I installed the program on my new machine (running Windows 7.1), seemingly uneventfully. But when I now enter the activation key, I get an error message informing me that the number is not valid.
Does the activation key become invalid after a certain time period, or is there something I can fix? I'm interested in upgrading, but would like to have the familiar version available until I get around to doing so (just retired; lots of time-consuming changes afoot).
Thanks for any help/info.

Moving my photos and PSE catalog to a new machine... and upgrading
H
I am seeking advice on the best way to do the following:
- move my photos from my current laptop to a new laptop
- recreate my current PSE catalog on the new machine
- do both of the above while also upgrading to PSE 11 on the new machine.
The last time I did this sort of action -- moved my photos to a new machine -- it was sheer bedlum. Hoping to avoid the pain this time.
Do I first need to move my photos to the new laptop -- recreating the exact smae file structure that I have today -- amd them export and import the PSE catalog? I want to repeserve the album structure and tagging that I have created.....
Any help/pointers appreciated.The recommended way to move to another computer with a new OS or PSE version is to use the built-in backup and restore function in PSE.
- Start with a clean catalog : reconnect missing files, repair, optimize. That's good practice even if it is not strictly necessary.
- Do a full backup on an external media (external USB drives are safe and affordable). If you have several catalogs, do as many backups. Warning ! each separate backup must be in its own separate folder.
- Now, you have installed your PSE version (possibly a newer version) on the new computer, you can do a restore from each catalog backup. That will restore the catalog and the picture files ; if you have checked the option to keep the folder tree structure, it will be kept.
The smart thing about this process is that not only everything is restored, but if you have upgraded to a newer PSE version, the catalog will be automatically converted to the newer version ; furthermore, you have a backup!

Edit:
This shows why a backup from the organizer is often a better solution than external backup solutions. Suppose your old computer crashes, you can restore to a new computer and newer PSE version easily. It's also a good way to update a secondary computer (a laptop for instance) to the same 'sync' than the master computer. -
Move Crystal Reports 10 Registration To A New Machine
Is there a way to deregister a Crystal Key Code to transfer the application to a new PC and reregister?
Hello,
yes this is possible.
You can get the keycode from the registry searching for HKLM/software/Crystal Reports and use this on the new machine.
Best regards

I'm currently using a PPC Mac Mini, but recently purchased a used G5 to replace it. I'd like to have as seamless a transition as possible; I have an external HD enclosure which holds a SATA internal drive as my backup drive, and I'm planning on using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Mini's startup drive to that external drive. Once that's done, I'd like to simply pull that SATA drive out of the external enclosure and mount it inside the G5.
From a software standpoint, is there any particular reason why that wouldn't work? I'm thinking back to the olden days, when system installs might come with specialized extensions or be custom tailored for certain pieces of hardware--is there likely to be anything in my Mini's system that would make the G5 say 'Wha?' and choke? Am I better off just using Migration Assistant, or could I theoretically just swap the drive in?
Any suggestions would be welcome! TIA!I perhaps should have been clearer on the "new" machine--it's a dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 (PPC, not Intel).
According to these specs:
http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/PowerMacG5.html
...the G5 came from the factory with a SATA drive, and the diagrams in the manual's section on adding or replacing an internal drive certainly appear to show SATA connectors on the drive. Am I missing something on that front?
As for Migration Assistant, does that grab all of a user's settings (i.e. preferences files in the Library folder, etc.) and incorporate them into the "new" machine's Library, or does it just grab my files (i.e. Documents folder, Applications folder, etc.) and copy them for me and leave me to put the pieces back together?
The biggest issue I'm trying to avoid is going back and rebuilding all of my preferences--stuff like resetting my network settings, rebuilding window layouts in Photoshop, all of the stuff that really personalized my Mini to the way I wanted it to be.
Thanks for the tips so far! -
Computer Died. How Do I load program to a new machine?

New machine install, terribly slow response
I'm hoping someone can shed some light here, I've recently built a new NLE for CS5.5 and the thing's incredibly slow to load, encode or even respond to an export command.
A few specs on the new machine:
Dual Xeon 3.47GHz 6 core CPU's, 12 cores total, 24 logical cores total
Supermicro X8DTL motherboard, intel 5500 chipset
24GB registered RAM in triple channel mode
Win7 Pro 64 bit with all updates
Matrox MXO2 LE capture/playback
Nvidia GTX 580 4GB video card
Intel LSI MegaRaid SATA raid controller
7TB RAID 5 array on the RAID card
Installed software consists of PPro CS 5.5 suite, Avira anti virus and Firefox web browser. Beyond that it's a clean install
Now for my problems.
Premiere generally takes about 2 minutes to load from the desktop and is slow to respond after that. I've loaded a 40 second HD timeline consisting of 2 XDCAM HD video clips and one stereo music track. When I export this simple timeline it takes 3 minutes for the encode options to pop up, then once I select BluRay HD for the preset and queue it takes another 3 minutes before Media Encoder launches. At the time I'm writing this Media Encoder has been encoding for 30 minutes and it's only about 50% done with that 40 second timeline. For comparison my old dual core laptop with it's single internal drive takes about 30 seconds to launch Premiere (CS4 in it's case) and it encodes the same timeline in about 4 minutes.
Something's very wrong here; I'm hoping it's something simple like a wrong setting. The computer itself seems to work fine and the Windows index benchmarks at 7.8 outside of a slower C drive coming in at 6. All the project material is on the RAID and the programs and OS are on the C drive. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm going to have to get started on a major project shortly and I can't imagine doing it on this machine as it is.

Seehorse VideoDisconnecting from my LAN would be problematic in that several machines have files shared with the editor and vice versa... Lightwave for example is on a separate machine and most of my Photoshop stuff is on a third. All machines are clean and checked daily for infection... at about 3AM so it doesn't try while I'm working. If I suspect something I'll run Malwarebytes (in manual mode). So far in the last 10 years I've only had one virus get through on my personal machine and nothing has hit any of the business ones.
I do have a hardware firewall on the LAN and I don't let Avira AV scan files while I'm editing. I've used Avira free on my last 2 systems without any issues (one Avid Liquid and the other Premiere CS2). I certainly wouldn't trust Norton or McAffee to walk the dog, let alone protect a machine... too much bloatware.
Jeff, I'm not totally sure what issues I still have; I'll find out this week as I get started on a project though. (Fortunately no clients present so I've time to work out any lingering bugs... if I had to do it in front of clients I'd probably use the old machine.) I did notice that disabling the SurCode solved the load issue anyway... my project with roughly 200 hours of XDCAM footage in several Bins loads in ~45 seconds or so. Of course there's nothing yet on the timeline; that will probably slow things down some. Oh, I'm not using any of the "max bit depth" settings and wasn't at the time I rendered out those bluray disks. Maybe it's my imagination on the slowdown (once things actually opened) but it did take more than real time to encode a 45 minute bluray disk. This was before I disabled the SurCode; hopefully that solved the issue. Bottom line is that the system seems to function now, I'll know if anything else is out of whack as I actually start using the machine.
On RAID I simply do not trust RAID 0 for anything; I've lost days of work before due to a failure on a RAID 0 setup so I always use RAID 5 for safety. I assumed that the Intel card would work as I've used an earlier model in my old Avid Liquid system with no problem and it was faster than an E-Sata external. With 5 - 2TB drives for storage the odds of a RAID 0 failure don't seem appealing. -
'Configuration Error: 6' appears when attempting to open Photoshop on new Macbook
I had Photoshop CS5 installed on my previous Macbook which is now broken, however a friend of mine was able to copy it on to an external hard drive for me. I have now purchased a new Macbook, copied and installed Photoshop on to it from the external, however when I try to open it, 'Error: 6' appears, it states: 'Configuration error. Please uninstall and reinstall the product. if this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.'
How do I fix this problem? Thank you in advance.Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.
Whether your friend "copied" Photoshop from your own broken Mac Book or from his machine (the latter would be completely illegal software piracy, by the way), that will NEVER work on your new machine.
First, the Photoshop installation places many auxiliary files outside the Photoshop folder all over the place. Copying misses a bunch of critical files.
Second, the activation of the installed copy of the activation is tied to the serial numbers on the CPU of the machine and is useless in any other machine.
I repeat: Install Photoshop from scratch from the original medium, download or DVD.
