Activation on a third computer

Is it possible to pay a small charge for the ability to activate photoshop cs5 on a third computer?

No. Straight to the point: You are mistaking activations for licenses. You will have to buy a new licence for a third computer and in fact should be happy that adobe allows to use one license on 2 machines. Other software vendors are much more strict and it's even technically not possible. not saying that Adobe couldn't do better, but things are just as they are...

  • Activating CS2 on third computer, don't have access to old computer.

    Hello, I bout CS2 with my wacom tablet many years ago and I am now on my third computer I have installed this product on.  However, I no longer have access to either of the two previous computers to deactivate.  I've already tried to use chat support, but it doesn't work on any browser I have and calling on the phone just directs me here.
    I can't afford to buy a new version (not to mention I use it infrequently enough that going 'subscription' is not feasible either), please help.

    you're in luck:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l

  • How do I deactivate one computer so I can use a third computer?

    how do I deactivate one computer so I can use a third computer?

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivat ion-products.html#deactivate-problem
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

  • License a third computer for CS6

    We are about to purchase a third computer. We currently have CS6 installed on two machine (MacBook Pro and iMac), and we will be updating our iMac shortly. We will however be keeping the old mchine, and we would like to be able to run the programs on all three machines. Currently it will only allow us to have them installed on two. What do we need to do in order to be able to license the third machine? Thanks.

    From your use of the word “we” you are implying that perhaps you are using a single copy of an Adobe Creative Suite on multiple systems used by more than one user. The Adobe Creative Suite EULA (End User License Agreement) permits two installations and activations per copy of the retail product (whether purchased in a retail box or by download), but those two installations are for the purpose of a single user having access to the software on an office computer and a home computer or mobile computer. It is still a single license for one user.
    Thus, if you have two separate users, they require two copies of the Adobe Creative Suite. For a third user, you need a third copy / license. For larger organizations, Adobe does have volume licensing plans (see http://www.adobe.com/go/gffooter_licensingprograms).

  • Can I install Media Encoder Alone on a third Computer

    My situation: I have 1 licence of Adobe Production premium CS4
    What I need/want:  I want to install the Media Encoder on another computer (to render on another computer (like a render farm) and save CPU process in my personal computer)
    Question: Can I install JUST Media Encoder on a third computer?  Without having to use the full Abobe suite licence.
    Thank

    Question: Can I install JUST Media Encoder on a third computer?  Without having to use the full Abobe suite licence.
    Nope, you can't. Especially everything that is tied to handling MPEG CoDecs and derivatives requires activation since it involves third-party licensing.

  • How do I use my third computer with cloud. I am rendering a project in Avid Media composer

    How do I get my third computer to work with when I am rendering Avid project on the other two computers computers

    Hi,
    Running creative cloud on third machine will prompt you for the deactivation from last 2 machines. As per EULA for Creative cloud you can only install and work on 2 machines only, be it MAC-MAC, MAC-windows and windows-windows.
    working on third machine without deactivation from previous machines is not possible.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • Purchased adobe acrobat x serial number does not work after two computers i need it put on a third computer help

    I purchase adobe acrobat x   I put it on two computers in my office I need to put it on one more but the serial number does not work anymore   is there a way to put it one the third computer?

    Also, you can only use it on two computers if they belong to the same person, are used only by that one person, and are not used at the same time. To install on two computers for two people needs two licenses. Adobe sell volume licenses, but do not sell an "all the computers in the office" license.

  • Can I install Creative Cloud on a third computer?

    The 2nd computer that I installed CC on, died. Can reinstall on a new computer?

    Hi JRID,
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

  • I can't get my Elements 12 on my third computer to work?

    Why can't I  get my Elements 12 on my third computer to work with any of my three sns?

    I have Elements 12 (and several previous Element additions) for two laptop machines, which I ordered and received via a disk, etc. One Serial Number applied to  both machines. And they work fine.
    Then I downloaded an a digital copy of Elements 12 for form my PC near my printer.
    Now every time I attempt to work a photo on that machine, it tells me that I'm using the wrong SN and asks me to put in the correct one. I checked my Adobe Account and found three serial numbers, and I have tried them all, and they are rejected.
    Sometimes I persist and get to a prompt that asks if I want quit. If I I click "yes."  I am able to continue processing that image.
    As much as I like Elements 12, that is both irritating and time wasting.
    What can I do?

  • I want to add a third computer to an old acct but I only get prompts to 'remove' my previous computers which I still want.  Ideas?

    How do I add a third computer (laptop)?  When I try 'manage account' prompt the only choice within that is to remove a computer.

    You are allowed to authorise 5 computers max.
    You might have more than 5 to trigger this prompt.
    What you can do is to de-authorise all then authorise those computers again.
    Note: you can only do that once a year.
    Computer iTunes > Store > View Account > sign in and click the Deauthorise All button.

  • I pay $9.99/month for LR and PS on two computers.  What is the charge if I want both programs on a third computer?

    I pay $9.99/month for LR and PS on two computers.  What is the charge if I want both programs on a third computer?

    The cheap way: Sign out on Comp 1 or Comp 2, sign in on Comp 3 if you don't need all three going at once.
    The costly way: Open a second Photography Plan and you should have a total of four seats.

  • Installing CS4 on a third computer

    We recently took 2 computers that had CS4 running on them off line because MicroSoft no longer supports the XP op sys that they were using. We have a laptop with CS4 loaded but deactivated and a new Dell desk top newly loaded with CS4 with no problems. I am trying to load CS4 onto my wife's laptop as the third computer but it will not load. Help!

    When I try to run the CD after clicking on "Install CS4" the machine starts to run and then just stops. No error messages or anything.

  • Activated iphone on one computer and now cant use on another

    I was in Michigan for a couple of months and that is where I bought my iPhone in July. I activated it on my friend's computer up there and now my home computer in Georgia will not even recognize my iPhone when I connect it. I have tried erasing all data.

    Not entirely sure about iPhoto as I don't have a mac, but when syncing from folder(s) only the contents of the most recent sync will be on the iPad - but I assume that iPhoto will be the same and will therefore remove the previous sync before putting the ones on. He also won't be able to copy them off before syncing as you can only do that with photos loaded via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websties.
    This article has some general info on syncing photos http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

  • Photoshop activation on a new computer.

    I own Photoshop CS. Yeah, yeah, I know, it's old. But I bought it. Actually paid for it. During a time when everyone seemed to have a copy of one version or another (in pirated form), I actually went out, and paid for it. My wife and I were at a convention in Las Vegas, and we purchased it directly from Adobe, at their display in a huge  convention building with painted dancing girls, whole football fields set up for the purpose of showing how green Fuji photos could make grass look, and small airplanes were flying around... Really. Anyway, we bought it, from a gal in a giant rotating tower of people working with Photoshop, showing on a myriad of screens all the wonders they were creating with this revolutionary product...
    We went home, loaded that bad boy on our computer, and entered the world of the digital darkroom.  Yesterday, I bought a new computer, with the sole purpose being to provide the memory-hungry Photoshop program an amount of memory it might be satisfied with. Quad-core processor, 750 GB hard drive, and 8 gigs of RAM. To some, a pretty powerful computer. Today, anyway.
    I loaded the software, and got the usual "Activation within a month or you can't use it" message. I tried, limbering up my fingers to enter the mile-long serial number on the back of my ancient jewel case. It said "Sorry, activation not available, call this number for activation". So, dutifully, I did as instructed. This time, I was required to enter said mile-long number on my phone, always fun, tiny touch screen button... gotta love 'em. Then, it gave me a number to enter back into the computer to complete the process. I did that, and then, it said "Sorry, we no longer do activation by phone. Go to this web site: www.Adobe.com.go.activate" Went there, and was told to chat with a live representative. I did that, and was told "your only option is the $19.99/mo subscription". Um, the what? I paid $550 bucks for this program, and now, years later, if i want to keep using it, you want me to pay you twenty bucks a month, forever? Not for tech support. Not for upgrades. Just because you want some more money. Is that right? Seriously??
    Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy? Is this even LEGAL???? Is there any way to make Photoshop just turn off the activation thing, and leave me alone? All I want to do is use what I bought and paid for. It's like buying a car, and ten years later, the car company says , "Hey if you want to keep driving this car, you'll have to send us monthly payments, or it won't run anymore".
    Help...?

    Charles stebbins I would recommend contacting our support team directly to verify the serial number was never registered.  You can contact our support team at Contact Customer Care.  An Adobe ID was required to activate the software so it is likely that the serial number was registered under a particular e-mail address.  You can request that your account be searched for by e-mail address and/or phone number.
