Adobe Creative Suite 6: Activation Issue on a new SSD

I own a licensed copy of Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh. I've installed it on my Mac Pro and my MacBook Pro. I am planning on replacing the optical drive, which I never use, with a solid state drive. I intend to clone the operative system and applications like CS6 onto the new solid state drive. My hope is that I will make my aging MacBook Pro significantly faster.
Question: Will I have to deactivate CS 6 before I do this and then reactivate it after the cloning is complete? Will I have to reinstall CS 6 from my original DVDs? What other issues will I face?
Thanks,
EV

Forget the cloning, reinstall the programs properly. Otherwise the activation will not work because quite simply the activation key is not there. of course you should always deactivate existing installs before meddling with any of this...

  • Adobe Creative Suite Student activation process?

    Hello,
    I am taking a web design class soon and I want to buy the Creative Suite student version. I understand you need to prove that you are a student to get the activation process completed. Can someone elaborate on exactly how this process goes?
    Once I activate, do they give me a code that I can use, should I ever need to re-install (for instance, if my computer dies)? Or do I need to contat adobe and be in a class again to re activate.
    I don't want to have to pay and take a class every time I want to install CS4.
    Anyways, if anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    For a Student Edition of Adobe softwares, you must first submit your proof of status (i.e., class registration, enrollment form, valid photo id with expiration date on the school id) to Adobe.Once you submitted any of those mentioned, that's the time that that you're going to contact Adobe via phone or email to get your serial number for your s/w. The Activation process only takes place if you have uninstalled your Adobe software without deactivating it first.
    If your desktop or laptop crashes and your s/w was still loaded on it, you can still reinstall it on another machine. Just make sure that you won't exceed the activation seats or else, it won't allow you to load it on another pc. Just for you to know. Adobe softwares can be installed and activated twice on 2 different machines but you cannot use it simultaneously. Just let me know if you still need help..
    Thanks.

  • How to move Creative Suite programs from hard drive to new SSD

    Hey guys!
    I just bought a SSD and I want all of my adobe programs to be on that (Creative Suite Designs & Web Programming CS6).
    I have the serial number but I do not have any installation files? What do I do?

    Malthe Pedersen please see http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html to download a fresh copy of Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 cursor issues

    In Illustrator CS5 while drawing a straight line while holding down the shift key, my screen will jump about 7 to 8 inches to the left or right, usually at the end of my line when I release the mouse button. This occurs in InDesign as well for me. While moving multiple objects around an artboard this odd behavior also occurs. Happens perhaps half of the time. Seems to be an issue with the constrain function of the shift key.
    Working on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and Logitech wireless mouse, standard Mac keyboard. Mac OS X, Adobe applications, and Logitech mouse drivers are all up to date.

    ↑こちらに書いているように、大きな問題は確認されていないそうですが
    おっしゃるとおり、必要システム構成外であること、何より製品のサポート期間が終了していることを考えると

    ・・・何かあっても文句は言えない、ということでしょうか。

  • Adobe Creative Suite/New iMac Intel

    Is it true that the Adobe Creative Suite will not work with the new G5 iMac with Intel? If so, does anyone know when Adobe will release the updated software?

    Jeff is correct it will be about April...
    But April 2007...

    "Acrobat is coming in the fourth quarter of 2006. [Design software package] Creative Suite 3 will be introduced in the second quarter of 2007. Acrobat will take advantage of the Macromedia assets. And you'll see a lot of activity in the CS3 launch. There will be a lot of integration between [Macromedia] products and [Adobe] products as part of those offerings. By the time we launch CS3, the value of the two companies will be clear."

  • Installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student Edition on Macbook Pro

    I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student eddition on a new Macbook Pro.  An Application called ARVATO downloades
    'Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium MAC.zip'.  When I try to open the file it just creates a CPGZ file.

    Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed.  The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

    Sorry for my poor english vocabulary. I'll do my best to explain.

  • I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.
