How can I put CS5 on a new computer that is replacing my desktop?

My 9-year old desktop was destroyed by a virus.  I now have a Windows 8 laptop as a replacement.  How do I go about installing my CS5 program on it?   I have the disk and its serial number.

You will want to deactivate the software if it is no longer being used on your old computer.  You can do this by going to Help>Deactivate in an application like Photoshop for example.  You can then install the software on your new computer.
Please be aware that only Creative Suite 5.5 and 6 have been tested with Windows 8.

  • How can I put photoshop on a new computer

    I may be getting a new computer and I want to know if I will be able to put the photoshop I already have on another computer?

    Yes. If you plan to scrap or sell the first computer remember to deactivate the software first (Help> Deactivate for PSE11 and earlier, Help> Sign Out for PSE12.
    If you intend to keep the first computer you can still install PSE on the new (you are allowed to have two activated computers with your PSE licence) but you should not use both concurrently.

    Your key cannot work in CC, it's newer version, and would require a new purchase.

    if i buy a movie from itunes store how can i put it on my new ipad

    Assuming it's in a supported format (which is likely), simply sync your iPad to iTunes on your computer.  Make sure you have specified that you would like to sync movies on the "movies" tab on the top right of the iTunes display (when your iPad is plugged in and its row highlighted).

  • I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie?

    I want to break up my hour long video in iMovie 11 into smaller 15 minute segements to upload to youtube. How can i put EDITED VIDEO in new projects in iMovie? (each 15 minute segment to iMovie)

    In iMovie's Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), click on the name of your project (don't double-click to open it, just single click to highlight it).
    From the Menu select File > Duplicate Project. A copy of your project will be placed in the Project Library. It will have the same name as the original, but with a number appended. You can rename it if desired - click on its name twice (not double-click) so that it is highlighted as light blue, then over-type it.
    Delete from the duplicate all the clips and other media (for example, photos, music and so forth) that you don't want included in the first of your 15 minute segments. In other words, delete all but the first 15 minutes.
    Continue creating duplicates of the original (and rename if necessary). Delete from each duplicate all the unrequired parts for each segment. So, for example, for the 2nd duplicate delete the first quarter (15 minutes) and the 3rd and 4th quarters.
    You should end up with 4 duplicates with separate names, each containing the required segment. You will also have kept intact the original one hour movie, which you may wish to use independently of YouTube (maybe for burning a DVD or playback through a Media Player).
    Note that duplicating the original project will not take up much extra space on your drive. Projects reference (link to) the associated Event (or Events) in the Event Library - they don't actually contain video as such. The project file also keeps track of titles, transitions, effects, music and so forth that you've added to the project.

    How do I install CS5 on a new computer. My old computer crashed.

    You have to install your product again in new computer and launch your product software and click on help menu from there you can activate your product with the help of your product serial number.
    If you do not  have disk of your product then you can go through this link and download your product software or you can contact adobe customer support for best solutions.

    How can I use iTunes on my new computer, without losing all my music?
    I don't want to rebuy everything I have purchased over the years.
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    They should be in your itunes media folder. Use an external hard drive and just copy that to your new computer. I'm sure there's an easier way like this one (iTunes>File>Library>Export Library>External Hard Drive) but I never tried it before. Anyways, once that's done, just simply authorize your itunes account to play music you bought on to the new computer.

    Yes, it will but you can still install it on 2 machines. In case you face any issues, you can contact adobe support anytime.

  • How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

  • How do I transfer CS5 to my New Computer?

    Hello,
    I have a new computer to which I want to transfer Dreamweaver CS5 from my old computer.      I thought it would mean that I simply find a download link to CS5 and download, but I can't find a link to do this.   How can I transfer Dreamweaver CS5 to my new computer? 
    Thanks for any help! 
    Note, I also have adobe Flex Builder 3, which I would like to transfer over as well.

    Thanks for your response.   I found the problem.   I purchased it for download, but apparently my Apple Safari browser did not support features required to direct me to the download link properly.     Google Chrome did the trick!
