Can I install my company's Creative Suite on my home computer (will only be used by me at work and a

Hi all,
My understanding is that we are allowed to install one licensed version of Creative Suite software (or any Adobe software) on 2 machines. And so right throughout my creative career, I have always been able to install the software on my machine at home too for those times I need to work from home, even tho' it is registered under the company's name, with the company owning the license.
I just want to verify that this is indeed the case as I am moving to a new company and they seem to feel uncomfortable about my installing it on my machine at home because they own the license...
So my question is, are you not allowed to install it on TWO machines (the work machine and the home machine) as long as it is being used by ONE person only?
(I thought I'd ask here at the Adobe forums just to make absolutely sure:)
Thanks a lot for your help in advance:)
Best regards,
Christine

Yes, you can install and use the software on the 2nd machine so long your new company owns the license, the software is used but the same person who is using the primary installation (that is, you).

No, if they bought it, then its theirs. You may wish to contract iTS for options in case it was part of the Mac Acceptance.

Creative Cloud for Teams - second computer will only install as trial version

Hi there
My company purchased Creative Cloud for Teams. I use a Mac at work and have installed it without any problems there. However at home i use a PC (Windows 7) and i have tried several times to sign into my Creative Cloud account and download programs so i can work at home but each time it will only load the programs as trial versions.
I have tried several troubleshooting options with no luck:
Clicked sign in on the trial window - but it just asks me for a serial number which i obviously dont have.
I asked my work IT dept to delete and resend my seat invitation which they did but it didnt fix the issue.
I asked my work IT dept to check with the reseller we bought Creative Cloud for Teams from whether there were any restrictions or settings which wont allow to install on a second computer but they said it should be fine.
My team mates at work have installed it on their home Macs without a problem, it seems to be only a PC issue.
I have had CS6 on my computer previously but uninstalled it all in case this was causing the conflict - but it didnt fix the CC issue.
I have uninstalled and used the Adobe Cleaner tool, then reinstalled but this didnt work - the trial days still kept counting down.
I uninstalled again, used a Registery cleaning tool (cleaned registery, temp files, browser temp files etc), used the Adobe Cleaner tool (just to make it extra clean), and removed all traces of Adobe from my machine. I reinstalled Creative Cloud Application manager, installed Acrobat to try it out. This time the trial days have gone back to 30 (rather than zero). I clicked on the "sign in" button, it signs me in but still asks for a serial number.
I tried contacting Adobe via the chat channel but was told after some time that i would need to speak to Tech Support. My dealings with Adobe Tech Support in the past haven't been the most fruitful, so i thought i would ask the forum as my last desperate attempt to solve this problem.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Thanks!

What should be the proper steps to un-installed CS6 creative suite from an old computer and re-installed onto new computer ?

I would like to un-install and re-install CS6 Creative Suite onto a new computer.
What are the proper steps required; in particular for the license code ?
I worry if I don't do it properly I may not be able to re-activate on my new computer.
Thanks,

You do not need to uninstall though you can if you prefer to. Your license allows you to have two activated installations, so if having a backup installation available is something you could use, you might want to keep the original installation intact.
If you do not want the old installation in working order then the minimum you need to do is deactivate it by opening one of the programs and choosing Help -> Deactivate. This will deactivate the entire suite for that machine. You could leave it this way as the use of the applications is disabled at this point, except if you wish to you can reactivate it. If you wish to uninstall you should be sure that you perform the deactivation first.
As far as getting the software on the new machine goes, you install it the same way you did originally, using the serial number to activate it.

I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps. I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

Install second verson of creative suite

I have already installed one version of creative suite (educational edition) on one machine, (in april this year) I would now like to downloade the second version. How do I do it?

Whatever license you acquired is likely only good for one version of the software. If you mean you want to install the same version on a second machine then indicate which CS version of the software it is (do not say "educational version").

Can I instal SAP Netweaver 2004s trial on windows vista home premium

Hi ,
Can I install SAP Netweaver 2004s trial on WIndows vista home premium. Please advise.
One more thing is I am not able to download the Trial version from the SAP's FTP site. Because ftp is blocked in our company. Is there any other site from which I can download the trial version. Please advise.
Thanks,
Sam.

In this Forum it appears that Windows 2000 with SP4 will work as well (haven't tried it).
If you've got VISTA you could consider running the trial on a Virtual Machine. Parallels, and vmware offer commercial vm products for generating Virtual machines whilst Microsoft (Virtual Pc2007) and VBOX offer Free virtualisation products. Vmware also provides a FREE vmware server virtualisation product --this works fine as well although no multi-media support. However if you only need the Virtual Machine to run the Netweaver trial then that's no big deal.
As I've posted elsewhere a Win XP pro Virtual Machine using only 512MB of RAM will give quite adequate performance of the ABAP trial. Don't even THINK of the Java edition unless you've got at LEAST 2GB - even on a Virtual Machine.
Cheers
Jimbo

I just fix my macbook air because it was kernel panic. They changed the hard drive. I could not back up with Time Machine, because it did not work and I had over Adobe creative suite 5 design premium student. But I finished my studies last year and I'd like to know how to get the serial number for me to reinstall Adobe creative suite 5 design premium when I am no longer study because I would still like the used? It is not fair if I do anymore because I really need.

You can download Creative Suite 5 here:

To deal with the issue of the serial number and using it again, you'll have to use Web Chat. Here's a link:

How do I deactivate Creative Suite 3 from a computer I no longer have access to?

As far as my experience in this forum goes, Adobe support has the ability to deactivate inaccessible installations. Unless that has changed just recently it should still stand. You can contact them thru chat and get it taken care of.
