How can I re-activate my creative cloud  with a firewire disc in target mode?

I am a hurrricane evacuee. I have lost my home to flooding. It will be months before I get my original internet connection back, if ever. I am staying at a friends and they have wifi, but I am not allowed to reboot their router or their modem. I have an old 7 year old mac book pro that won't run all the CS6 apps, and a mac pro 1.1 that will, but does not have wifi. I tried to tether the mac pro to the laptop and share the wifi to re-activate, but the mac pro is not picking up the connection without rebooting the homeowner's cable modem and router, which I am forbidden to do. So I am considering finding some firewire cable somewhere and trying to run the mac pro in firewire target mode, with the mac book pro connected to wifi internet to try to re-activate. Does anyone know if this will work? Also, is there any way to know which day of the month your subscription has to activate? I am going to be shuttling from one couch to another for some time, and if I am lucky enough to drag my mac pro along, I will have to keep doing this.
Suggestion- Adobe should have a special alternate system for people who lost their internet and homes due to hurricane sandy and do not have wifi machines.

Hi Kay,
Sorry to hear about your difficulties on a lot of different levels . I'm inclined to think the target mode will not work because the activation process is reliant on the OS as part of the way it works. I think the target disk mode just treats the secondary system as an external drive - so the activation would be only affect the old mac book pro and not the apps on the target drive. But I could be wrong, it still might be worth testing given the circumstances. The activation process starts on the 11th of every month for your account.

    HI GUYS, HOW CAN I REGISTER THE ADOBE CREATIVE CLOUD ON MY MACBOOK AFTER REGISTERING IT ON MY IMAC THX TO ALL

    I am not clear on what you mean by "register" but if you mean you want to install it on another machine then you just need to install it the same way you did for the first machine.

  • How can I find my Company Creative Cloud license?

    How can I find My Company Creative Cloud license

    Hi John,
    You might want to try contacting whoever purchased the license at your company. If it was a team membership they will need to invite you in order for you to be able to use it. The process may vary a little depending on what kind of membership your company has.

    How can my wife and I share cloud with 2 different login's

    If you each have separate iCloud accounts with different IDs, you can add the other person's account to your device(s) by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with their ID.  These "secondary accounts" will sync mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

  • How can I re-install the Creative Cloud softwares on my new computer?

    Hello,
    I bought the Creative Cloud softwares and installed them on my former computer (which is unfortunately dead...). My license is still activated but I can't find how to download them on my new computer without buying them another time.
    Thanks for your help.

    The process will be identical as it was on your first computer.  Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4396277#4396277?tstart=0 for information on how to install the Creative Cloud applications.

  • How can I downgrade my full creative cloud subscription to the photographer version

    Just heard that there's going to be a cc version for photographers available starting 9/16 for only $9.99.  How can I downgrade from my full sub which costs 49.99 per month?

    Hi jason epstein,
    Customers who have already joined a Creative Cloud Single App membership for Photoshop at the £7.14/month level (or corresponding local pricing matching the pricing provided in the question above) will be automatically transitioned to this new program when it ships in a few weeks, with the additional benefits and lower ongoing price. All other Creative Cloud members who meet the qualification requirements may contact Adobe Customer Service once the new offer is shipping in a few weeks, to discuss transitioning their membership to this new offer.
    Please refer the kb: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativecloud/faq.html for more information.

  • How can I stop the Adobe Creative Cloud sign in at every system start?

    I don't want to be asked to type in my Creative Cloud sign in data at every system start, only if I definitely use / want to work with my Adobe products. Does anybody know any settings for that and how to do it (Windows 7)? Thank you.

    Hi Kapil, so maybe this could be the cause? Every time I start my computer the Adobe Creative Cloud asks me to sign in (without even touching any Adobe program, I just have installed a few of the CS6 suite to test them). If I press 'cancel' and then start the Adobe Application Manager, it asks also to prompt the Adobe ID AND every time I have to agree to the license agreement, not only once.  I'm just in the 30 day test phase, maybe this could also be a cause for that? Or ist this a hint for an improper installation?
