Can I install CS6 on the SSD and HDD of the same computer without losing licence?

I just upgraded my Macbook Pro, Mac OS X 10.6.8 with a new SSD.
I am not sure how smooth and errorless my original HDD OS X has been running, so instead of using Set Up Assistant or the Migration Assistant, I did a fresh installation of OS X on the SSD. Now I want to either individually carry all apps to the SDD or, more favorably, put a fresh install on the SSD.
If I try to simply install the CS6 from my downloaded install software, I suppose it will ask me for the serial number. As far as I know I can install the CS6 on two separate personal computers. I want to save my second option for the iMac I want to buy later on. So how can I do this installation on the SSD?
And, once I do the installation, I will keep working from the SSD, but still want to keep the HDD version as a backup until I am sure the new SSD works flawless for some months.
Same question will go for LR4.

on you hdd, open cs6 programs and click help>deactivate.
you're then ok for two more installations/activations.

I currently have an old version of Photoshop Elements, it is version 5.0. I recently upgraded from my old Windows XP computer to a new Windows 7 computer. My question is: Can I install this version 5.0 on my new windows 7 computer without any problems?

How can I install only OS on SSD and have the HDD only for apps?

I am looking to buy an SSD and install it in my CD area of the macbook pro with an adapter. But I wanted to know if it's possible to instal only my OS on the SSD and have the HDD only for Apps/Software....Is this possible and if so how can I do this?

I suppose you could do this by just installing Mountain Lion onto your SSD, and then move your applications folder and documents to the HDD.
But I would be wary of doing this because:
It seems like it would defeat the purpose of having a SSD, that is to make your computer fast. The computer would have to switch back and forth between the SSD and the HDD. Sounds like that would unnecessarily complicate things.
I like to keep things simple. I think the software engineers at Apple know what they are doing and I just keep things installed simply and the way they intend them. Then they seem to work. I put a SSD in my laptop about a year ago and it works perfectly. I haven't had a problem with my computer in a very, very long time.
This doesn't mean that you can't have a lot of files stored on a secondary drive somewhere, whether it is on an internal or external drive. But I'd keep the system software and apps where they belong, on the drive where the installer puts them.
And this doesn't mean that you can't try your plan and see how it works.

Can I install CS6 from Creative cloud and still have my existing CS5 software?

Basically, here is the deal. I have been working on a couple projects in CS5 but just bought CS6 creative cloud as I want to start using it. The question I have is, can I still use CS5 to finish up these projects and install CS6 at the same time so I can start working on new ones in CS6? Or do I need to wait and install CS6 once I am completely done with the projects that are using CS5. I understand that CS6 would be able to open my CS5 projects, but I just want to finish in CS5 since that is what I am used to.
Also, on a side note. With the cloud, will I be able to install CS6 on my desktop at home and my laptop? Thanks.

Yes.
CS6 installs into a separate directory to CS5 and can still be used at any time after CS6 is installed.

Yes, each Adobe license permits a maximum of two activations. So you can install on two separate computers.

"Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time. See the product license agreements page for more information."

Can I install CS6 for both Mac and PC with same license?

I have made my first installation to Mac and it's visible in my purchases. I tried to download CS6 to my PC but it didn't accept the same product serial number.
How can I install CS6 to PC also?

You can't. Standalone serial numbers are platform specific. Only Creative Cloud is cross-platform.

My computer became corrupted, and I reinstalled windows, only to find my iphone will no longer sync with the same computer. How do I sync my phone and tones to the same computer without losing everything?

This is my first time using this forum, and I apologize if my post isn't "normal" or if my question is too long. My old acer computer had become corrupted and I had to reinstall my copy of windows. When I tried to sync a new ringtone to my iphone, which was only ever synced to this same computer, I was prompted to delete everything I had so I could install one ringtone. That does not sound ideal, and I refuse to delete everything I've put on my phone and my data to sync to itunes. There has to be another way to show my phone that this is the same computer. So I do not have to go through the hassle of doing everything again. I could not find an answer in the forums, and hope you can help me. This is pretty close to being a deal breaker for me. I'm beyond frustrated with this policy.
I don't believe it matters, but I'm running the latest version of itunes, as of today, and I have an iPhone 4 CDMA iOS 7.4.

Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

Can I install CS6 to 3 of my computers with the same registration

I am going to install CS6 using the same registration number to my laptop and another spare computer. How do I know if my CS6 can be used for multiple computers.
Thanks

No.
The license is for one user and two (2) computers that are not used at the same time.
If you try three installations, the third one will NOT activate and become inoperative.

Can I install photoshop on my laptop and desktop from the same Creative Cloud account?

I thought I read that you can run them one at a time, I installed on lap top first and registered just fine then installed on desktop and on start up of photoshop CC it is telling me to register photoshop? can I do this?

You can have a maximum of two installs. Can be PC/PC, Mac/PC or Mac/Mac; any combo.
Should be no need to register as long as you've signed in with your Adobe ID? (Best way to do all this is via the Creative Cloud Desktop app.)

How can i install Linux (Ubuntu or Kubuntu) and Windows at the same HDD?

Hi everyone
I have Toshiba L20-148 and I have the Toshiba Product Recovery DVD and I have the Ubuntu DVD
I'm only able to install Linux or the Windows XP Pro that i have with the recovery DVD
and the only way i know to install them both together is by installing linux then windows... but whenever i try to install windows usin' the data recovery it just formats the whole HDD and install windows only...
any help?

Hi
The boot manger can be set manually in the Windows system properties.
Please go to the control panel and select system
Then select the Advanced tab
In the advanced tab please select the option Settings in the Startup and recovery area.
A new window should open and you should use edit button in the system startup area.
You should see something like that:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
To add a further booting option you should change it for example to:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\Linux="linux kubuntu" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn

Can I install the FF 4 Beta and the FF 3.6 versions on same computer without interaction between them?

I do not want to delete the version I am using now because I know most of the web tool apps I have will be disabled. Been there; done that too many times.
Was hoping I could try the latest FF 4 without it messing up everything by installing in a different folder or will it pick up the FF 3.6 Profile, Add-ons, etc. and maybe even re-write the Registry keys for version I want to keep functioning?

There aren't interactions between different Firefox versions as long as you make sure to have a separate profile and shortcut for each version and keep an eye on the current default browser and set the default profile via the profile manager once to the correct profile. The portable version is only easier for inexperienced users, but once you understand how things work then normal versions work flawlessly.

How do I install Lion on both SSD and HDD in my new iMac 27"

When I try to install Lion on my new iMac 27", it offers to install it on either my 256 SSD or on my 1TB HDD. I haven't gone ahead with the installation, in case it can't be installed on the bigger disc (i.e., the 1TB HDD). I'd be very grateful for any advice.

Are you saying that you copied your system or installer from your laptop onto a thumb drive?
Please be specific: you really can't copy the recovery partition by itself because it's hidden - you can use Apple's recovery assistant to create a bootable startup on a thumb drive with which you can boot your system and then download/install. But, I believe that method requires the same machine ID to work.
IF you have the full installer, you need to boot up from another drive (the installer may not be bootable) and then direct it to another Mac.
So where do you want to install it? And exactly what is it that you have on that thumb drive?
If you just want to install Lion on another Mac, you can simply download a fresh copy from MAS.

Installing both Vision Builder 2012 and LabView 2012 on same Computer

am new to NI Vision Builder Automation Inspection 2012 (Which I am supposed to learn and use for part inspection) as well as LabView (Which I need not know at this time)
When I was presented (to work with) a 1722 Camera and the computer, Labview 2012 was already installed but not Vision Builder.
The IT folks installed the Vision builder without uninstalling LabView.
I have my problems getting upto speed with my inspection work, but is any of it attributed to both systems being on the computer?
Can I (Must I) uninstall LaView??
Thanks

LabVIEW and Vision Builder run fine on the same computer. I have several versions of each on mine with no problems.
