2 licenses one pc one mac

my dad just purchased photoshop cs5 extended edition and installed it with one license on his pc and it worked fine, im trying to install the second license on my mac and it says the serial number is incorrect but i have the email with the serial number so it must be something else. do i need to have a different serial number because im using a mac and he used a pc? if so can i exchange my serial for a new serial that will work on my mac?

do i need to have a different serial number because im using a mac and he used a pc?
Yes.
if so can i exchange my serial for a new serial that will work on my mac?
You have things wrong: You have two activations and they are still just one license. If you want to work on your Mac, you need to buy your own license, which, from what it sounds like, for you as a student might be perfectly affordable with a student and teacher version, if you are eligible.

  • The Adobe License agreement - can I run one Mac version and one PC version on the same license?

    can I run one Mac version and one PC version on the same license?

    I'm specifically looking at Lightroom. Looks like I will be able to run both platforms... Now to figure out a goo file managment system if I'm editing photos on both systems.
    I travel with a PC laptop (can't afford a MAC yet) so I will do some editing on the road for posts to facebook etc. and the heavy editing on the IMAC when we get back from holiday.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

    I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

    If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate.  Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
    Download CS6 products
    You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.

  • Two CS6 suites on one Mac?

    Got a wierd request, pretty sure it's not possible, but wanted to make sure.
    Client is asking to install Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium, along with Adobe CS6 Production Premium, on one Mac.
    Yea, I know...trust me we've been telling them to either buy Adobe CS6 Master Collection so they have the whole enchalada, or to buy one of the suites and then we can use the ELA licenses for individual apps to deploy any separate apps they may need.
    I tried to explain that (1) installing two CS6 suites is not possible...and (2) any individual apps must be packaged using ELA for those apps and not by carving any of the apps out of another suite (which would be the same issue as #1).
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Don

    Hi Don,
    here are answers to your queries -
    1) it is possible to deploy 2 or more suites on same machine, using their independent packages created using AAMEE.
    2) Package should be created out of individual media. so in this case there should be 2 different packages created using 2 different suites media. Deploy these packages separtely and it should work fine.
    Hope your queries are answered. please get back if you have more questions.
    thanks,

    is purchase of one copy of OS X allowable on more than one mac?

    Ex, purchase OSX Mountain lion once, insstall it on 10 devices.
    There isn't a limit. That 10 device limit is for content from the App Store (ie iTunes Store), not the Mac App Store—two different places; two different license agreements.

  • How can I migrate my junk-mail settings from one Mac to another?

    I would like to move my junk mail settings from one Mac to another. I found this article (https://kb.siteground.com/how_to_synchronize_the_junk_email_settings_in_mac_mail /), but can't locate the file indicated in the article, so I suspect that the article is out of date (though it's not dated).
    Both machines - MacOS 10.9.5; Mail 7.3.
    Any insights much appreciated!
    Best,

    Make your user library visible and see if you can find it.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library.

  • HT204074 Multiple Apple IDs on one Mac

    I have 2 different user accounts on my MacBook Air. Both users have their own iTunes Library with their own AppleID.
    Is my understanding correct that it is not possible to use both accounts independently as only one Apple ID can "use" the Mac at a time ?
    Furthermore, if user A has its Apple ID associated to the Mac, user B is unable to use iTunes Match on the same Mac for it's account (at least not for another 90 days) ?
    Thx in advance for any solution allowing user A and B to share one Mac (including iTunes) as if it was two physically seperate computers. The goal for me would be to have 1 Mac used by 2 users (each one having it's own account) with 2 Apple IDs (ID 1 for user A - ID 2 for user B).

    Hello Kevin and redskylux-
    Just wanted to add another post and try to gain some group traction: Apple support has lately been refering users to "check the Apple forums" for solutions. As such, I am hoping Apple management will be parsing and reading these forums for suggestions on improvement and current issues with their products.
    From the perspective of system administration and isolating financial responsibility to individual user accounts, the process Apple employs to limit future transfers, even to separate user accounts, on the same machine for 90 days is simply draconian. A server operating system is dedicated to the idea that multiple user accounts are supported on a single physical machine. Apple's current methods would severly retard the abilities for mutliple users to make use of the same machine for using iTunes and related content. For example, user A is allowed to log in to a machine and make use of iPhoto, MS Excel (under Office for Mac), and many other programs while user B is also using an account, via VNC or other remote desktop product from an iPad or a different location off site. That's the whole point: multiple users to the same machine to co-utilize resources.
    The iTunes account scenario and a 90 day wait between transfers is a seriously ridiculous constraint. How about every Apple employee who uses a piece of software on an Apple server, must first check to see if any other Apple employee has used the desired software within the previous 90 days? If so, user A must wait until user B has not used the software within the previous 90 days. Sound like a terrible situation? It is!
    Come on Apple, surely you can devise a better method.
    Separate Mac OS X user accounts, each with separate Apple ID's must have independent access to the materials associated with individual user accounts on the SAME Mac OS device. The above process, at the least, would allow a local backup of iTunes content to a single machine. Having all content backed up to a single machine supports the opportunity for keeping an organized localy controlled backup.
    Perhaps the solution will be to create multiple copies of virtual machines on the Mac OS X device and then each user can (with a virtual MAC address) have their own Apple iTunes account on the same machine, without having to sit and wait 90 days for Apple to release the lock?
    Hope you find a solution: I am planning to test out the VM solution (real Mac OS X which contains multiple VM Mac OS X machines)

  • Can you have two apple ids on one mac?

    Can you have two apple ids on one mac? We each have iPhones and want to utilize iCloud.  Is this possible?

    No, in this case the 2 user accounts with its own Apple IDs would be completely seperated.
    If you want to share this things like music and app purchases you will have to to something else.
    1. Create two user accounts on your Mac (user A and user B).
    2. Create two iCloud accounts just for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, etc. (one for user A and one for user B):
    On your Mac (with Mac OS X Lion or Mountan Lion):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud > Create an Apple ID (button in left corner)
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (iOS 5 or later):
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free @me.com address and create a new Apple ID
    3. It is not recommended because you shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people but you could set up your old Apple ID as an account just for store purchases (Apps, Music, ...) so that everyone of you can manage the purchases in their own library (Access is limited to 10 devices). Therefore you have to setup this "old" ID in Settings of your iOS devices (Settings > iTunes & App Store) and in iTunes on your Mac.

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I had an HP laptop with Itunes on it and kept my library on an external hard drive. I had a 160gb classic Ipod.
    My computer died and i am buying a new one (mac is out of budget)
    When I get my new computer, obviously I will download Itunes. My Ipod still has all the music on it and the external hard drive is ok.
    I don't want to "erase" or lose any information when I sync with a new itunes that is "empty"
    What are the steps? After I download Itunes and set the folder location to my external harddrive what is next? Will Itunes recognize my IPOD? Will it load the music/list from my ipd or external into itunes?
    Thanks in advance
