Does installing CS5 prevent using CS4 on another computer?

I bought CS4 Production Premium through the Education Store in January 2009. Now I want to buy CS5 Production Premium (Education Store). Can I install and activate CS4 on a different computer, and then install and activate CS5 on the computer that is now runniing CS4?

Yes you can.
You can even have both running on the same computer. However if you want to take CS$ off, remember to go tothe Help menu and 'Deactivate' the current version. That will allow you to install it on to the second computer.

I have CS5 upgrade. Do I still get to use Photoshop CS4 on another computer?

When I purchased Photoshop CS5 (as part of CS5 Production Premium) I wanted to let my wife use CS4 on her computer. Got the message that it was already installed on another CPU. So I guess the upgrade version, still counts the old versions in the 'allowable installations', right?

Since you're essentially asking about the EULA...
The way I read it, if you follow the licensing agreement to the letter, though you are allowed to install the software on up to 2 computers, you are neither allowed to actually use it on more than one computer at the same time nor is a second person allowed to use it.
Regarding your specific question, the pertinent paragraph seems to be (emphasis mine):
5. Updates.If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of Adobe software, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement only if (a) the upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same Computer, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies of the update or upgrade are also transferred to such party or device, and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation Adobe may have to support the previous version(s) may end upon the availability of the upgrade or update. No other use of the previous version(s) is permitted after installation of an update or upgrade. Upgrades and updates may be licensed to you by Adobe with additional or different terms.
Whether you can actually install an upgrade on a different computer and run Photoshop on two computers at once may be a different story.
The EULA in its entirety can be found here. Not exactly light reading...

I had been using ADE on another computer. Have a new computer. Installed ADE on it an download a library book to my computer. It will not let me download the book to my nook. I get error saying no authoriztion to barrow the book. I need help...

Try this solution to fix permission issue:
Modify the manifest.xml file located in My Documents\My Digital
Editions:
STEPS
1) Quit Digital Editions
2) Make a backup copy of the manifest.xml (call it something like
manifest.good)
3) Open manifest.xml in notepad
4) It will appears as one big long line of xml, and you are looking for a
tag called start at the beginning of this
and select until you the end of the tag that looks called </de:deviceID>
5) If you have attached more than one Reader there may be multiple of
these. Delete all of them to make sure.
6) Save the file (manifest.xml) and quit out of notepad
7) Ensure you have the Reader plugged in
8) Launch Digital Editions
9) The Device Setup Assitant should come up.
a) Do NOT click on the "Don't ask again for this device" checkbox.
b) Do click on the "Authorize Device" button.

I bought a used iMac with cs6 already installed. If I want to use cs6 on another computer, how would I load/install it (I can't seem to find any serial number)?

sorry th title is so long. Wondering if I can use cs6 on another computer besides my 2009 iMac. Thanks.

Transfer of software to another owner is usually handled by Adobe.
So if you do not have a serial number its not yours to use.

Can I transfer my Academic CS4 onto another computer?

Hello. I would like to know if I am able to transfer my Academic CS4 to another computer? I had it installed in my old mac, and would like to install it again onto my other laptop. I am confused as to the limitations, requirements, etc. Thank you.

Hi Nancy,
The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously.
Hence you can go ahead and install on a new computer which is a second computer. If you get an error saying "Too many activations" contact Adobe Support over chat or phone to resolve that error.
Regards,
Jairaj

Another idea is to download Photoshop Elements 11 installation files from the following web site and then insert your purchased serial number into it.
Remember, Adobe allows you to install the purchased serial number for your Photoshop Elements on no more than 2 of your computers.

Install CS5 and keep CS4...

I have CS4 and downloaded the CS5 trial. When I try to install CS5 trial, it asks me to close all of my CS4 apps. I don't want it to install over my CS4 apps. Does anyone know if this installer will overwrite CS4?

It doesn't over write them but you do need to have all Adobe applications closed when you install.

Migrated Flash CS4 to another computer and it won't startup now

Using Migration Assistant on my mac I transferred all my files to another computer. All the other Adobe programs are starting up no problem (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) When I try to start up Flash CS4, it just freezes with the message "copying first run files.." and then it crashes.
I don't have the install discs unfortunately (or I would try to re-install) because this was given to me by a company I work for remotely. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Thanks!

I am having the same problem now - everything else migrated fine (even Illustrator 10), but CS4 crashes on opening. I have uninstalled it and re-installed it as I do have the disks. I have deleted the preferences and .plst file as suggested in other forums. Still no luck. Hopefully someone will some day reply with an answer!!

I need to transfer Photoshop CS4 to another computer that I just purchased

I have been using CS4 on my desktop. The computer is 6 years old and I recently purchased an HP Laptop. I want to transfer the CS4 to this Laptop. The Laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive therefore it has to be downloaded from the web. How can I do that.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you looking at the iPod's library of songs through iTunes (the songs are on the iPod, not iTunes)?
If the iPod is automatically updating, you cannot play the songs from your iPod on another computer. You would have to manually update...
Manually Updating iPod
See this as well...
Using iPod with multiple computers
Or, are you trying to move the music from the iPod to your laptop? If so, try one of these options...
YamiPod
Using iPod with multiple computers
If you choose to go the software route, more options are available (Search the internet via Google).
If you are automatically updating the iPod now though, and the songs are not actually on the laptop, but just on your iPod (and you see the songs on the iPod through iTunes), then you will not be able to play them on your computer. You have to put them on your computer or manually update.

Is there a way to add songs on my iPhone into a playlist using iTunes on another computer?

I am at work today and want to organize some of my songs that are currently on my iPhone into a playlist. Is there a way to do this using iTunes on my work computer? I'd rather not go to each song individually using my phone for this, as it would take forever lol. Please help!

"So I can't even use another computer to organize the music that is already on the iPhone? "
Correct.
" I don't want to add or remove any songs, just put some into a playlist."
You cannot.
Sorry.
