Can I install photoshop cs5 on more than one computer, if "owned" by a different user?

I want to install my recently purchased photoshop cs5 on my macbook, as well as my imac. The only thing I worry about is that the macbook is in my name and the imac is technically in my dad's name, even though he only uses it to surf the web. The only reason he even bought the imac as opposed to anything else is so that I'd have a great place to edit photos. I really need it to be on both, will this work? Anyone have experience with this?

This is what I was able to dig out
May I use the software on more than one computer at a time?
The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement.

Can you install logic express on more than one computer

can you install logic express on more than one computer ?

Be sure to read the End User Licensing Agreement for questions of this nature. You are allowed to install Logic on two computers that you own, for example an iMac and a MacBook Pro. You cannot, however, use the two computers at the same time if they are on the same network. You can use one computer as a Logic Node to shift some of the processing load (which you would likely do with an ethernet cable) but you don't need to have a full installation of Logic on the Node machine, just the Logic Node installation. The idea of allowing two installations is so that you might take advantage of a portable computer in the field for on-site recording then later transfer those files to a desktop studio set up for further editing.

Can I install Creative Suite on more than one computer?

Hi,
I have bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium, Student and Teacher Edition. I own an IMac and Macbook Pro. I have installed the Creative Suite onto my IMac. I have recently bought my Macbook Pro. Can I install the creative suite onto my Macbook as well as having it already installed on my IMac? I'll need to use both computers at the same time when running the programs in the creative suite.
Thanks.

Hi kglad,
Thanks for that. So I'm not supposed to use both at the same time, or am I not able to? Because I usually do use my laptop when travelling but often still have the same programs open on the laptop still while I jump onto my Imac and use the same programs.

Can I install photoshop on to more that one computer with no extra charge?

I have a home computer and a work computer and I need to use PS on both machines, I already have an account, will it charge me extra if i download it on to my second PC?

One license does entitle to install Photoshop on two computers.
Previously it was emphasised that this was for con-simultaneous use, but I think that restriction is not in effect anymore.

Can I load my Itune on more than one computer?

Can I have ITunes installed on more than one computer, and sync with I-Phone and IPAD2? How do I keep the files the same on both computers?

you can authorize up to five computers you control for your iTunes store account.
you can use home sharing to keep the libraries on them in sync.
by design, iPhone and iPad can sync with only one library at a time.
however, you could consider Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod.

Can't use the iPod on more than one computer!!!!!!!

Ok, This has got me so frustrated! We got an iPod and installed iTunes. We thought we had it figured out - we purchased music from iTunes, played it on the iPod and everything was great. Then plugged the iPod into my other computer to listen to our music and it won't freakin' play! says the computer is "Not Authorized" and suggests that by 'authorizing' the 2nd computer, it will overwrite the songs that are already on the iPod. This is NOT desirable. We've downloaded and installed iTunes onto the 2nd computer and used the same login account that we used on the first computer.
What gives!?!?! I thought this was supposed to be easy, but it's not! I was hoping for a quick and simple "plug it in and start listening to music." This is definately not quick and simple. Albeit, I'm new to this iPod craze, but this shouldn't be so difficult. I've poked around on the website and cannot seem to find an answer to this.
HELP!!!!
Thanks
oh btw, Is anyone else getting annoyed by Apple's rediculous attempt at monopolizing this market by forcing us to use thier own proprietary software?!?!

First of all, any computer that plays purchased content must be authorized. This can be accomplished by opening iTunes, then store>authorize computer. If you wish to use your iPod on more than one computer & not have your iPod content erased, you will have to have your iPod preferences set on "manually manage". See the following link.

Also, it's not only Apple that uses proprietary software. How about Zune players, & several others?

How do I sync my iPhone to more than one computer, I have a iMac and a MacBook. Can I sync my phone to both computers?

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
Syncing to another will erase the curretn content.

Can't seem to sync with more than one computer???

I loaded I-tunes on my laptop and then tried to load on my desktop computer with no luck. Can you only sync through one computer or am I missing something?

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you just need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos". You can't sync from more than one library.

Can you connect your ipod to more than one computer?

i was wondering if it is possible to hook up an ipod to more than one computer? i would like to use itunes both on my home computer and my lap top. is this possible?

Hi ctwerner, welcome to the forums.
In a nutshell, it is and it isn't. The first category to address is the operating system - if you own a Windows computer and a Mac laptop, or vice versa, the process is impossible as the file structures will be different. However, assuming you have computers with the same type of operating system, it is possible, but there are a few things to bear in mind.
iPods have two modes of updating - manual and automatic. In manual, you have to drag all your music across from the iTunes library and basically do everything yourself. Automatic is the complete opposite - iTunes synchronises everything in your library with your iPod. Updates the time, too.
Basically, if you use manual, the 'Pod becomes what I'd call a 'rogue' - not tied to any computer. You can plug it into any machine and copy music to it (not from it though - copy-protection doesn't allow it). In automatic, for convenience and to make sure your library is accurate, the 'Pod is locked to the original machine. I say 'locked' but it really isn't. However, if you have the 'Pod set to auto and change computers, iTunes will ask you if you want to change the library settings to that computer - if you say yes, it'll wipe your 'Pod clean of music (not other files if you use it as a hard drive, I think) and copy only the files it has in its' library. Likewise, switching back will result in the same thing.
To change between these settings, plug your iPod into your original computer (ie the one you use the Pod with), go to iTunes and choose Edit -> Preferences -> iPod, and then pick either the top option for 'Auto' or the bottom for 'Manual.'
Bear in mind that copying music is only practical over USB2.0 or Firewire (for the 1st to 4th generation iPods only - Firewire is not supported for the colour screen versions). If you have an old laptop, it might have USB1.1, at which point data transfer is painfully slow (I speak from experience, so trust me!). Of course, your desktop may very well have USB1.1, at which point you might not even notice...
Hope this helps you, and enjoy your iPod!
