Do we have to use an Adobe I.D.?

I was wondering if we have to use an Adobe I.D.. I'm installing a different copy of Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements on a new computer. I'd prefer to not user an I.D. as it apparently phones home. At work once, I was unable to complete an action because I was not logged in. Why would we be forced to log in to the internet to use software we purchased?
If I do have to use one, I was wondering if I should create a new one for this new copy or use the same as my other copy?
Thanks
Tim

That just means that PSE was looking for your photoshop.com account. There is no photoshop.com anymore, so just log out where it says "welcome, < your name>". That's all you have to do.
PSE will nag you for a certain period to create an Adobe ID, but eventually it will stop. The adobe ID (which is not the same as the log in) is part of the registration process, but so far it isn't necessary to register PSE if for some reason you prefer not to do so.

The decision is ultimately yours. You have to consider your preferences and reasons for use.
If you are using the software primarily for personal projects, then have a suite might be all you need, and the one you have now might suffice for that as well. If you are a professional who needs to be on the cutting edge, then you probably want to have the subscription working for you.
Upgrading to a new CS means getting CS6, which is likely to be that last of the CS releases. If you do that you pay for it one time and what you get when you pay is what you will have until it becomes obsolete somewhere off in the future, except for any corrective updates that might be provided. It should hold up to be useful for some number of years.
If you purchase a Cloud plan, you pay for it repeatedly over time - basically a monthly fee - but you get updates and new features as they are released. There is always a chance that newer updates could eventually out-spec the machine you own, requiring a hardware update to continue on with new releases.

I have been using the Adobe Digital for years. All of a sudden, I am unable to complete a download

I have been using Adobe Digital for years. All of a sudden , I am unable to complete a download from my library to the Adobe Digital. Can anyone help?

Has anything happened like an update to Digital Editions?
Two possibilities come to mind:
between them they are the answer to a large number of ADE problems, but I can't promise they will help in your case.
Also, a third possibility at the bottom.
1) ~~~~~
Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people. Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash. If you are using 10.7, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1265248?tstart=0
2) ~~~~~~~~~
There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0 (and 2.0.1). Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
(You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.
http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/cant-install-digital-editions.html
The forum software is sometimes corrupting the link above. There shouldn't be a blank in 'editio ns.html'. The following redirects to the same page: http://tinyurl.com/diged172
3) ~~~~~~~~~~
extension of (2). ADE2.0 will often not work with Overdrive library books if a Sony eReader is plugged in.
It isn't just that it won't interact with the Sony, it won't even operate properly on the book within ADE on the computer.

I want to use my Adobe CS3 to create a newsletter for my co

Hi everyone,
I have never used this product and have limited use with Adobe period. I am attempting to create a sample newsletter for the company I work for and have a thirty day trial and I need help in creating the newsletter. I have Adobe inDesign CS3. Someone please help me.

Cari,
While you might be able to learn to use some of the tools in InDesign in
30 days you'll hardly be a master at that point. And that doesn't even
touch on the need to understand how to simply design the newsletter.
You're in the right place to get help, but you're going to need to ask
specific questions about specific features in the program.
If you visit http://indesignsecrets.com, you'll find a link to an offer
of 7 days of free access to lynda.com. I suggest taking them up on that
and then coming back with any specifics you'd like addressed.

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for two years. I got a new printer and installed it although I did not remove my old printer from my computer. I used this program and my new printer for quite a few months, but today I deleted my old printer

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for along time now. When I first used the program I had a different printer than I have now. Although I changed printers I never removed the software from my old one. Now this was never a problem until today. When I choose a printer I still had option to use the old one but always chose my new HP Envy 5530 and Adobe never had a problem printing from that new printer. However today I decided to remove my old printer from my computer and now my Adobe cannot find my new printer. How can I make it find the HP printer?

Try this --
Go to the bottom of the link I gave you, and you will see
click that link and then click the chat button to talk to an Adobe agent

In Adobe Acrobat 9 which I have been using for a long time (Widows 7) says, You cannot use this prod

In Adobe Acrobat 9 (Wndows 7) which I have been using for a long time now it says I cannot use it withoutv repairing. It instructs me to uninstall & reinstall...

I have not run into this yet with my AA9 and Win7, but have been seeing posts about it. I would try a repair before I would do an uninstall and reinstall. You might also turn off javascript for a bit in case there has been some javascript that has caused problems (ok, making wild guesses). If you do decide to uninstall, be sure to deactivate first, uninstall, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. Then proceed to the reinstall and updates.
There is a question about whether being able to use it is correct, or you are just getting some message that is a spam that somehow got into your system (again, a possible javascript issue). Besides turning off javascript, you could also try isolating the javascripts to moving them to a temporary directory and seeing if one is causing the problem.

Why can't I use my Adobe ID if I have to reinstall the digital reader?

I already have an Adobe ID. I had to reinstall the Digital Reader and it will not authorize using my Adobe ID because it says another computor is already using that ID. It is the same computor it is only that I had to reinstall the program.

For me it's the same, I've just bought an iPad mini two weeks ago but I cannot log in with any Apple account in FaceTime.
I enter my apple account in faceTime, then I press next the second screen and it shows "validating..." but it never gets validated.
What's happening? This is really annoying

Thank you for responding. Nothing actually worked! After reading the posts online, I called Apple. They indicated they have seen problems with some software after their upgrades. The technician was able to fix the problem on my computer remotely, but I have no clue what he did! But, it was definitely related to their recent upgrade to my computer.

This means that something in your registry is pointing to a drive that doesn't exist; see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327763

I am paying for CC but when I try to access LR it says I need to use serial number which I don't have have been using PS on same account for a while. Tried adobe support but got cut off. While online with them they said I didn't need serial number

I paid for CC and have been using PS. However, I can't get to LR. It says I need a serial Number. I contacted Adobe and they said that is not the case. Then I got cut off. Any fix?

If you paid for CC-full-suite or CC-Photography-Plan then you should have a CC-licensed version of LR available, but only if you uninstall the serial-number-licensed LR you apparently have, now. At least try that, uninstall LR 5, log out of the CC app using Gear / Preferences / Account / Sign-Out, reboot, log back into the CC app, and see if LR is one of the items listed.

I'm using a 15" Macbook Pro running OSX6.8 and cannot upgrade. I have a subscription to Adobe CC but none of these work on this so I was on with Adobe for 5 hours trying to install and launch Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Muse, and Acrobat Pro from CS6. Well, InDesign is the only one that works and I have a ton of work due! I don't have a serial number for Photoshop or Illustrator except for CS3, and they don't work. InDesign gave me no problems. Illustrator says it can't work on this machine. Photoshop needs a serial number. I'm stumped and getting anxious and freaked out. Can anyone help? Adobe Chat is down right now.

if you have a cc subscription, close ps > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop > open ps.

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

You need to do a "clean install": http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1267823
That'll remove the old plug-in completely.
Works 99% of the time.
