CS6 licence - installing on two computers

Licence says I can install CS6 on two computers but I cannot run them both at the same time. What will happen when I, lets say by accident, run both programs at the same time? Second one wont start or I will have some problems with my licence? Is there any other way of preventing running both programs beside just being cautious?

What will happen when I, lets say by accident, run both programs at the same time?
Don't think anything will happen. I did it regularly with no issues with perpetually licensed software (but I've since joined the Cloud where this is no longer an issue).
Worst case scenario, if they're on the same network, is you'll see a prompt asking you to close one instance of the software before opening another.
The EULA (End User License Agreement) for the Cloud has been relaxed so that you can run both copies at the same time.

Yes, you can use Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers at once, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. "

    Your best bet is probably to start over by cleaning off the old software with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then reinstall from your original media, or download it here:

    Yes, this has been allowed with Adobe applications going back many years.  A program such as Photoshop can legally be installed and activated on two computers at a time for the use of the single licensed user.  You can't install legally on your own and a friend's computer for use by the two different people.  Prior to Creative Cloud, there was an unwritten limit on how many times a given application could be activated, but there is no longer such a limit under CC.  That means you could theoretically install on three or four computers, activating only two at a time, and then deactivating one or both before activating on another computer.

  • I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

    If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
    Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • Single licence LR upgrade - two computers

    For many years as only user, I installed LR on a desktop and a laptop. Two installations on two computers, software is never used simultaneously. Installing the upgrade to LR6 (standalone, not CC) on my Macbook as second installation didn't accept the installation code. Anyone with the same problem?

    Dear Atul,
    Even trying to install it as a trail, the installationsoftware keeps
    asking for a serial number.
    I noticed during installation that I was asked to sign in with my
    Adobe-id, but never asked to supply a password. Upon clicking on 'next',
    there is a message that there is no internet connection (not true). A
    second click brings me to the field where I can fill in the serial
    number. I do this and then the message appears that this serial number
    cannot be validated and I should seek contact with customersupport.
    I have done this repeatedly, each time with the same result.
    Some things to consider;
    I used separate downloads of the same installationfile. So I downloaded
    twice.
    Would deactivation help?
    Should I first remove LR5 from my laptop altogether? Installation of a
    new versionover a pre-existing one has always worked, btw.
    Kind regards,
    Jan Wich

  • Can the leased, student version of CC be installed on two computers, like the retail version?

    Good morning!
    I am considering the $20/month student lease of the Creative Cloud, but I was wondering if I would still be able to install it on two computers? Let me preface this by saying I have a laptop and a desktop - the laptop is taken to class with me while the desktop is where all my work is mainly done. I saw on the FAQs that you are able to install the Creative Cloud on two computers, but it didn't specify if the student version was permitted the same rights.
    Does anyone know for certain if I would be allowed to install the leased, student version of Creative Cloud on both my PCs?
    Thanks!

    Cpaulson117 you can install and activate the software on up to two computers.  You can find more details at Activation & deactivation help - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.

  • Can I install the Photoshop CS6 Subscription Edition on two computers at the same time?

    I'm interested in ordering Photoshop (so not the whole Creatie Cloud but single app only) via the subscription service but I'm wondering if I can install it on my home laptop as well as my office desktop. I wouldn't actually use them at the same time, but as we all know, occasionally work follows you home.

    Yes, you can. Refer to the EULA for the exact legal blurb

  • If I upgrade, can I install on two computers?

    I have an older version of PSE and would like to download the upgrade - but I have 2 computers (laptop & desktop). Can I still download the upgrade on both?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The license allows you to have two copies activated - laptop & desktop. I have elements on my desktop and laptop.
    There is no real difference between an upgrade version and non-upgrade version - the upgrade version just needs two serial numbers - for the new version and for a previous version (if not installed on the system).
