2 Computer limit for CS6

I am enrolled at Academy of Art university and received a student version of CS6 for my classes.  I know there is a limit saying you can install the program on up to 2 computers.  I first installed the program on my compaq laptop.  Then I realized I needed a better processor to run certain programs so I wiped the hard drive and sold the computer to buy a new laptop.  I installed CS6 on the second laptop.  Worked great.  I recently bought a desktop computer and installed CS6 on there as well.  Now I get the message about the 2 computer limit.  I understand that the program has been installed on 3 different computers.  How can I eliminate the 1st computer I installed the program on then sold?  I have no way to get the computer seeing as its no longer in my possession.  I have to have these programs for school.

  • HT3819 Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    Isn't the five computer limit for home sharing restrictive given the many devices one household may have?

    It is only restrictive if you have more than 5 computers.
    Otherwise it is not restrictive at all.
    devices do not count, only computers.
    You have more than 5 computers on the same home network.

  • 5 computer limit for iTunes.

    Hi,
    I've been living in Viet Nam for 15 years and in the last 12 months have had my pc die of old age, a pc at work burn out and require new motherboard or something! And then same repaired computer stolen.
    Everytime i re download iTunes i'm using up my 5 computer limit, if I install it on my latest work computer it will be number 4. which only leaves me one left for when I return to live in Australia. I've sent a support email to itunes support and recieved a reply accepting that they have my question, but 2 weeks later no response. Does anyone know how to reset my 5 computer limit?
    Cheers

    To issue the deathorise all command you need to sign to your account from iTunes running on a computer. You also can't use the feature again for a year, though I gather that sometimes the store support staff can reissue it earlier in exceptional circumstances. I would suggest you don't leave your password saved on any of your devices. That way if a device is stolen they might have access to the current content (though in practice they probably wipe for a quick sale) but they won't be able to make new purchases on your line of credit.

  • Is there any way to increase the 5 computer limit for Home Sharing?

    We now have 9 computers all looking to access the same media purchased / stored on the same iTunes library?  Is there any way to increase beyond the 5 computer limit?
    Our home setup includes:
    2 iMacs
    2 MacBooks
    3 Mac minis
    2 Home Theatre PCs

    Can't offer any help, only tell you that I'm also wondering this as we now have 11 computers in our home.

  • New Computer setup for cs6 (PR and AE)

    I jumped head first into the great world of computer building and built my first work station....but all is not going so well lol.  Its taking forever to edit and render a five min kick-starter video. My question is how do I know I am setting up my  hard drives right. I have followed this link  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662972.
    my setup is: C:SSD(Programs,cache)
                       D:1TB-7200(scratch,Projects)
                       E:RAID 0(MEDIA) two 450GB raptors
                       Z:16GB RAM DISK? what should I use this for?

    Ceasy, definitely get rid of the Hiberfil.sys file, it's probably eating 16GB on your SSD and constantly getting written to, and you're not going to hibernate your system so you don't need it.
    Windows provides a GUI to supposedly delete the file but often it doesn't truly disable that whole functionality. You definitely want to do it at the Command Line with admin privileges. If you know what that means, then just fire up a cmd window as Admin and run this:  powercfg.exe -h off
    If you don't know what a Command Line is, do this:
    Click the Start Orb in Windows 7 (lower left of screen, of course)
    immediately type cmd in the search box
    Search will display a few icons as results, with the desired one near the top of the list: it'll show as cmd.exe
    Right-Click and pin that to your Start Menu, you might as well, you'll need the Command Line from time to time.
    Once it's on the Start Menu, you can right-click it and Run As Administrator
    Voila, you are at the Command Line as Admin. Now type powercfg.exe -h off and hit Enter, and the hiberfil.sys thing is done and gone.
    I would highly suggest you get cache OFF of that SSD and stick it on a regular drive elsewhere. Harm's guide will explain all of that.
    Also, make sure you are getting full use of your RAM. I have DDR3 1600 ram, but my EVGA motherboard boots up at a default 1066. I had to go into the BIOS and turn on XMP support. Once I rebooted, it showed 1600 speed in the startup screen. I don't overclock, but that step is necessary to get the most out of your ram, whatever speed it is. Your mobo may already have it on, but do check.
    Have fun!

  • Two computer rule for cs6

    I currently have cs6 on my desktop and my laptop. If  one of the two crashes will I be allowed to install the program on a new computer? Sorry if this has been asked before. TIA!!

    Yes.
    You may need to contact Adobe to explain what happened and free up the activation used by the crashed computer but that's about it.

  • HT1420 One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

    One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

    I have the same problem. What load of BS.
    I feel so sorry for people that switched over from PC to mac because they were misled to believe that 'macs just work'.
    Imagine someone without a degree in patience and computer engineering ever being able to work this problem out.
    All I want to do it sync my iPad with some movies that I bought. NOPE I have apparently authorized more than 5 computers which is ridiculous because I own.... 1 computer. LOL.
    Really bored with Apple's paranoia, ego and illogical control.

  • A PDF document with information about activation for CS6 software

    Here's a PDF document with information about activation for CS6 software.
    I found it very useful for understanding how the system worked for activation of perpetual licenses, both in cases where the computer is and isn't connected to the Internet.

    Ann, with some browsers, the PDF document will download in the background rather than appear in a browser window.

  • How can I install Dreamweaver CS5.5 using my serial number? I only see the trial download for CS6.

    My company bought CS5.5 Creative Suite, and one of my coworkers used our license for Dreamweaver on his computer. Now he has left the company, and I would like to install the license on my computer so I can use it from my station.
    When we installed the software on his computer, we simply downloaded the trial version and then entered our serial number. However, now I can only find the download for CS6, and putting my serial number in there for CS5.5 does not magically download that version for me, unfortunately.
    Does anyone know how I can install the license on my computer? I thought it would be allowed to have it on two computers, just only one computer would be able to access the software at a time. I just need to figure out how to install it...

    I talked to Adobe staff, and apparently I needed to use the Adobe licensing website, licensing.adobe.com. I'll need to talk to my IT department, who bought the software, to get the account information for the site, but I'm on the way to success!

  • Where is the 'Goodies' Folder for CS6?

    Doing a fresh install of CS6 Extended on a new computer (Windows 7).  In an earlier version of PS there was a folder called Goodies and it contained the HSB/HSL filter.  When I upgraded from those previous versions the plugins and filters migrated automatically or I simply copied from the Plugins>Filters folder of the old version to the new.  Looking at the extracted files for CS6, I'm not seeing the 'Goodies' folder.  Further, when I look in c>Program Files>Adobe>CS6>Plugins, there's no Filters folder, just a Panels folder. 
    Assistance appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can find information regarding the optional Ps CS6 content here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html
    We no longer distribute or include a 'Goodies' folder on disk. For the HSB/HSL filter, you'll want to grab the 'OptionalMultiPlugin' plug-in, which bundles of a couple plug-ins. Also the shipping plug-ins have been moved from the directory you might expect to find them. Any additional 3rd party plug-in or optional plug-in can still be installed to these path without needing to add /Filters:
    Windows 7 and Vista (32 bit): Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
    Windows 7 and Vista (64 bit): Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit)/Plug-ins folder
    Hopefully this answers your questions.
    regards,
    steve

  • # for CS6 not a qualifying product

    I ordered the disc for CS6, but got antsy so downloaded CS6 Extended.  I go to put in my # and there is no drop down for CS6, only CS6 Extended, so I put in my # and it says not for a qualifying product.  Hmmm, what to do?

    @Carin,
    It seems to me that you're talking about Photoshop CS6. Using a trial version, till the time the disc arrives is not an issue.
    PS Cs6 Extended will convert to standard Photoshop when you enter a serial number that belongs to standard version.
    The issue seems to be the serial number, which is being flagged invalid.
    The serial number can be invalid, if you ordered an Upgrade from a previous version, and the installer is unable to find an old installation on your computer.
    If you install an upgrade on a fresh computer, you'll be prompted for the serial number twice: once for qualifying product (old Photoshop, CS5 perhaps) and once that is entered, for the new serial number.
    So do you have the serial number for an earlier version of Photoshop? If not, please check your order details and see if you ordered an upgrade or a fresh licence.

  • Video Podcast Size/Length Limit for iPhone?

    Hi;
    I have subscribed to the "Programming Paradigms" video podcast from Stanford University available through iTunes freely [1].
    The lesson's download to the Mac fine and play on it, but when i sync them to my 1st generation iPhone (v2.1) only the first episode works as expected and other lessons plays without a video (only audio).
    I realize first lesson's length is smaller (17 min. versus 40+ min.) than others, is there a video podcast  size or time limit for iPhone exists and if so how can i bypass these limits?
    [1] http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/itunes.stanford.edu.16173481 11.01617348114
    Thanks,

    The standard itself doesn't have these limitations, but each "device" may have it's own limitations that you need to be wary of. For example, I can encode an .mp4 video file that will play back fine on a Playstation 3, but, due to it's bitrate, will not play back on an iPod.
    However, any app on a computer that is listed as being able to playback MPEG-4 content will recognize it as such and play it back.
