Can't install CS4 on vintage computer

I have CS3. It was installed on my old Mac (circa 2006). My computer broke - it won't start, and my Apple store couldn't get it to fully start. I got a new (used) Mac (circa 2008). I keep getting an error message about the serial number when I try to install. How can I deactivate CS3 on my broken Mac so I can reinstall it on my working computer?

  • Can I install ios5 from a computer other than my primary computer?

    I have downloaded the Lion update in the office and would like to install ios5 on my iphone and ipad before going home, which is where my "primary" computer is, i.e., the one I use to sync.  Can I install ios5 from any computer or does it have to be the one I have always used for syncing?

    You can but if your office computer does not have your backups and iTunes Library from your home computer then the device contents will be wiped. I'd wait until you got home.

  • How can I install Premiere in another computer

    How can I install Premiere in another computer, if my main computer does not work.  The service is paying monthly. 

    As far as I have understood it you can install PP on as many computers as you like, but only two can be active at the same time. So if you have installed it on just one computer you should have no problems installing it on a second one. If you want to install it on a third, you would have to deactivate one of the other previous installations to get it to run.

  • I can not install itunes on my computer. It tells me I need to update safari, and I have. Help please

    I can not install itunes on my computer.  It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that. Please help.

    It tells me I need to update safari, and I have already done that.
    That's an unusual message to be getting on a Windows system. (Typically it's a Mac itunes installation message.)
    I'd like to have a closer look at that error message please, tamara.
    Try another iTunes install. While the error message box is open, hold down the Alt key and hit the PrtSc key. Paste the screenshot into an image file (using a program like Paint), and save the file.
    Start a reply here and click the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window. Click "Choose file", browse to the image file, select the file and click "Open". Now click "Insert file" to insert the screenshot into the reply.

  • After Upgrade to CS4 ... Can I Install CS3 on Different Computer

    Here is a licensing question ...
    I deactivated CS3 on an older Mac and did a clean install of a CS4 upgrade to a new Mac (I just used the CS3 serial number to validate the upgrade). So, now I'm wondering if the CS license would allow me to legally install the old CS3 on a different computer? I know I can legally install it on the same computer, but what about a different computer?

    The CS4 license replaces the CS3 license. Legally, they're tied together.

  • How do I re-install CS4 on my computer ?

    I have a Mac. I want to delete everything, and perform a 'clean install' of Lion.
    So my copy of CS4 will have been deleted. I think it was bought as an upgrade to CS3 or equivalent.
    I have the CS4 disks - but I worry that they won't work if I don't have a previous version of CS4 on my computer. Which I won't have after the 'clean install' of Lion.
    Will I be able to download a complete version of CS4 onto my computer without having to pay for it?
    Thanks,
    - Greg

    Hi Greg,
    If you have the serial key for CS4, you will be able to upgrade to CS5 or now CS5.5 without any issues. For purchasing the upgrade version, you can go to the above link provided by Preran
    (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgradeinfo.html) and get the creative suite of your choice.
    Cheers!!

  • Can't install CS4 on new MacBook Pro

    I'm trying to install CS4 on a brand-new MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.3. The Setup doesn't even start. I get an error message: "Setup cannot be opened because of a problem." It says that Setup won't work with this version of Mac OS X.
    In the Terminal details, there is the following error:
    Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/asneu.framework/Versions/A/asneu
    Referenced from: Users/...
    Reason: image not found
    I get the same error whether I double-click on the Setup.app or do Open Package Contents > Contents > MacOS > Setup.exe.
    I have researched this error and found that other people have had the issue when the setup process is 90% through, but I can't even get mine to start. I've tried using the CleanScript app from Adobe, but since I don't have another version of Creative Suite on this brand-spankin-new computer, there's nothing to clean or uninstall. I've also tried creating another admin login to install from that, but to no avail.
    Any help out there?

    the error says library not found. Somehow the install program does not execute properly. It might be a problem of the disc. If you have a second computer or an external Drive try to install from there and see if the same error occurs. If it does, then it must be the CDs. If not then we have to investigate further.

  • Please help!!! I can't install CS4 Trial...

    I followed the instructions to a T and when I click on the PS symbal that says setup, it won't do nothing. I tried it on my laptop but it won't work on my sons computer for him to try out the software.
    Anyone have any other suggestions?
    By the way, I am not running a 64 bit computer so I think I am safe. My sons computer is a about 5 yrs old.
    Thanks a million,

    If it helped you, it may help others. I didn't make the request and ask the questions I did for myselfI'm a Maccer and have no plans to upgrade from PS CS2 any time soon.
    That said, though, the problem you stated, and the info you gave, the solution that worked for you...after reading this thread several times, I can't help but feel that there have to be some important details that have been left out. What they are I have no clue about.
    But getting from "Can't Install a trial version" to "I fixed it by running a script"one that, on the surface, doesn't even seem to be meant to address the problem you were havinghas left me scratching my head. The "DropletFixer.vbs" script was created before PS CS4 was even released.
    But, hey...if it worked, it worked!
