Do I need to deactivate my Creative Suite 6 before I pickup my new mac pro? or will the migration assistant do all of that?

I am picking up my new mac pro tomorrow and wasn't sure if I needed to "deactivate" my Adobe products before I change over to my new Mac, or does the "migration assistant" do all the work?   thanks for any help.

Nope. Migration does not work with any Adobe software. Don't even try it, it will cause a lot of huge problems.
Deactivate your software on the old computer. Install it from the original installer on the new one, don't forget to install all upgrades which are available in the meantime.

    Caseycork92 you double click the DMG to mount the disk image.  You will also need to enter your serial number for Creative Suite 6 for Macintosh.  You can find information on how to locate your serial number under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Purchased creative suite cloud but can't download acrobat pro... the download assistant says I already have it and i don't

    Everything else downloaded just fine. I did have an older version of Acrobat but I uninstalled it. I don't have any acrobat files anymore at all but the download assistant shows I have the software included in CS6. Help!

    Run the cleaner tool and try again.

    I have restarted but that doesn't help.

    Jonkpirateboy did you migrate/transfer/copy your CS5.5 application to this new Mac?
    If so then please utilize the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  You will then want to run the CC Cleaner Tool located at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Finally if you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available for download at Download CS5.5 products.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App crashes on new Mac Pro 2013

    After using Migration Assistant to move apps from my 2010 MBP to a new Mac Pro 6,1 (OSX 10.9.1), I find that the Creative Cloud Desktop App consistently crashes right after entering my ID and password (whether started as a menu bar item or separate window).  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the same result.  Below is a partial crashdump (I have the complete listing available):
    Process:         Creative Cloud [541]

    Thanks for this.  In the Cleaner App, I only saw Application Manager for OS 10.6 (other than my installed CC apps).  I cleaned this one only.  However after restarting, athough the cleaner said the uninstall was successful, I could not find any log file for the Cleaner App.  I still reinstalled the CC Desktop App, but with the same results.
    Do I need to uninstall ALL the CC apps?
    Thanks again.

  • How can I rollback from Yosemite to Lion? I need to do this as I purchased a newer iMac and I have the old 17" iMac HD that I want to get the data migrated from. When I start the Migration Assistant it tells me that the OS X version is too old. Help!

    I have purchased a newer mid 2011 iMac for my wife to replace her dead 17"iMac from 2006. It was running Snow Leopard. The new iMac has Yosemite and when I go into Migration Assistant it tells me that the OS X is too old, implying that I cannot get the data from it. How can I migrate this data to the new iMac? I have the hard drive removed and in an external enclosure connected to the new iMac.
    Thanks,
    Bill Stratman

    Since any OS since Lion does not support Rosetta or PPC applications, you may want to check her apps for compatibility.
    Have you tried to follow all the instructions here:
    OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device
    Also, as a general note: when you got the 2011 iMac did it have the original OS installed as required by the SLA? The seller is to remove any OS version obtained at the app store since the license is not transferable - did he do that? If not, as the OS download is tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it, you will not be able to update apps or reinstall the OS, so may I suggest you do this step now before you start porting over all the files. Use Internet Recovery: Hold Command + Option + R while restarting/rebooting until you see a spinning globe and a progress bar. After 2 - 10 minutes, you'll be connected to Apple's servers and see a Utilities window. Go to Disk Utility and choose erase your drive; once finished, go back to the window and choose to reinstall OS X. This should install a fresh original OS version which you can then update and tie to your wife's Apple ID.

  • New Mac Pro - need to run using 10.4 operating system

    I need to run a UNIX based program (Gaussian) on a new Mac Pro. According to the Gaussian website (http://www.gaussian.com/gbrochures/g03_onmacs.htm) their program is only supported for Intel systems running on 10.4 OS (and not 10.5). Is it possible to purchase a new mac running 10.4, or alternatively how easy is it to downgrade the 10.5 OS to 10.4?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.
    Rob

    Gaussian sure is a blast from the past! In my previous life I did some work with Gaussian 88 and our typical runs lasted about 12 hours each. When the MFLOPS gods were with us, we could do one in about 6 hours on the Cray X-MP down in Austin. It's quite amazing that this can now be done on the computer sitting under my desk!
    As far as your question goes, it looks like you will have to wait for Gaussian to build a Leopard compatible version for Intel-based Macs. In the mean time, I have read that it's possible to install SuSe Linux on a Mac Pro on a separate partition. Assuming that your license allows you to use the Linux binary, it might be possible to use it. You would have to reboot to do a Gaussian run, so it's not the most elegant solution, but it's the only way I can see it working.
    Good luck with your number crunching!
