Can I run master collection CS6 on a Mac and PC? What options do I have?
I'm thinking about purchasing the Master Collection of CS6. My school is offering a great deal, but I have a Mac right now and would like to change over to a PC in 1-2 years, so I was wondering what I should do since I either have to buy a Mac or Windows license? And don't suggest the Cloud because monthly payments are going to cost me more in the long run considering the deal I get from my school.
I've seen this question a couple of times, but people usually suggest the Cloud or suggest just upgrading once the person makes the platform switch. I'll have an education version, though, so I don't think I'll be able to update such a liscnese. I just haven't found any solid answers for the situation I'm in. I've also read stuff about AVLs being a solution, but I don't understand what that really means or if I could qualify for such a thing. There has got to be someway that Adobe can support someone who wants to be free to move around from platform to platform, aside from the Creative Cloud.
Basically if I bought a Mac, education liscesne of CS6 Master Collection and then in 2 years I buy a PC what could I do to use that software on the PC?
Thanks
Personally, I think you're foolish to not consider Creative Cloud. As a
student you have until April 7 to get the first year at $19.99/month.
You probably spend more than that at Starbucks.

Where are you choosing to download the install files too? Please choose the default location of your user folder.

How can i run AirPort Express for both a Mac and Windows 2000 SP2?
I have my AirPort Express set up for my iMac and it runs fine. We have a house guest who has a laptop running Windows 2000 SP2. Can I set up Airport so that both computers can access internet wirelessly?
Just did a quick check of the Unofficial Averatec Support Forum. Several posters there upgraded the driver for the wireless card to support WPA on the 5110.
They used drivers from other computer manufacturers and indicated that Averatec has not provided updated drivers.
They were running XP SP2.
Many Averatec models have weak wifi cards. Mine included. Sorry I am unable to be of more help.
Good luck

Installing Master Collection CS6 -- "EAccess Violation" error message
I bought a copy of Master Collection CS6 through my graduate school's online "bookshop."
I have been running into problems installing it for about 3 weeks.
I received a License Key for Adobe (but have yet to use it due to the inability to install my copy of CS6). I also received instructions on how to download the product (which I followed). I have a Window's computer and have downloaded both the .exe and .7z files onto my computer multiple times. No problem downloading. Free space on my computer is also not an issue. I have also tried to install the files in multiple folders on my computer (desktop, program folders, etc) with the downloaded files and the install-folder in the same place. I have tried to install the files as an Administrator (which I am anyway). But to no avail.
When I go to download the program, the first error message that comes up is...
Again, this is not an issue.
Then I get:
I have downloaded Adobe CS6 Master Collection multiple times in the past 3 weeks.
Then I get this message (sometimes not always):
I spoke to an individual in the IT department at my school and she thinks it is an issue with Adobe/ the download provided via my school from Adobe, not my computer.
Suggestions?I will try doing the initial download to another location on my computer. Again, though, I've downloaded to a certain place on my computer (all downloads go directly to my Desktop), then moved the files to another folder (Program folders, Adobe sub-folder) in order to try to install it there to see if it works there instead.
I've already defragmented my drive and removed stray temp files. I did this between either download 1 and download 2, or download 2 and download 3 (again, I've downloaded these files multiple times and have gotten the same results). -

Can't find Caflisch Pro anywhere on my Windows 7 home Prem. I purchased Master Collection CS6. I looked in all of windows. Is it hidden or compressed. I looked at this site http://www.designgeek.com/guide-adobe-css-free-fonts
Says I should have it. I have registered my product with Adobe.
Also where do I get the "registration gifts"?
Please help!
- peterzonerThe font which were provided earlier with CS2 and CS3 were different.
Refer to the link to know which all fonts are included with the Standard installation and as goodies with CS6.

If I purchase a master collection CS6-DVD- version from United States through ebay.com. Brand New master collection CS6-DVD- version Only for distribution in North America .An item that has never been opened or removed from the manufacturer’s sealing. Can I use this master collection CS6-DVD- version from United States and install it on my PC in Norway, because on the box containing master collection CS6-DVD it is written “Only for distribution in North America”????

Reason: Your title was too longHi Torganwalla,
I moved your Creative Suite post to the Downloading, Installing, and Setting Up forum for a better response: If I purchase a master collection CS6-DVD
Also, please don't post more than once on the same topic over multiple forums.

Lightroom install from Master Collection CS6 to Win 8.1
I've recently upgraded my computer and now have a PC running Windows 8.1 that is much faster. I installed my Master Collection CS6 that was running on my Win 7 PC. Everything but Lightroom has installed properly. It was on my win 7 pc with the exact same install (copied it from my other pc) with Lightroom but now I can't find the program. Has anyone had the same problem or know the solution.
Thank youIf you know what version of LR you got with the CS-MC – LR 3, LR 4, LR 5, then you can download any of the LR updates from the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
You would need a serial number for the same LR series (3, 4, 5) to activate what you download and install from the updates page.
