How do I install CC on a new device and eliminate CC from another?

I have a Creative Cloud membership with CC being installed on my laptop. I attended AdobeMax and was the happy recipient of a Surface Pro with Creative Cloud pre-installed. I activated the second account  on the Surface Pro. However, I have since bought a new desktop computer and need to install CC on that computer. I don't need it on my Surface Pro, but want it on the laptop and desktop computers. I have signed out of CC on the Surface Pro and have tried to install on the desktop. I go through all the steps on the desktop computer. Sign into my account, hit the download button, get to the installer and double click. It works for about 3 seconds and then quits. I get a message that says "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of Creative Cloud from...". I select the "Get Creative Cloud" button and it basically goes round in the same circle and I end up with the same "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed..." message again.
Do I need to uninstall CC on my Surface Pro or eliminate that device from my account? I'm currently signed out on this device, but signed in on the laptop.
NOTE: I am running Yosemite 10.10.1 on the desktop.
I really do need to resolve this issue. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks. Sandra

  • I need to install cc on my new MacBook and remove it from my old MacBook. What is the best way of doing this?

    Well, as above really. Should I just install again? Or do I export from my old MacBook?

    Don't try exporting it. Adobe software needs to be installed.
    On the new MacBook, sign in to creative.adobe.com with your Adobe ID, download the Cloud app then install your apps.
    You can leave it installed and activated on the old MacBook since you're entitled to 2 simultaneous activations.
    Or you can deactivate on the old MacBook. Launch any Cloud app and click Help > Sign Out. That will deactivate the entire suite.

  • How do i ignore my sons app store updatyes and eliminate them from coming up in the future

    I just took over my sons mini mac and we thought we took everything out related to him to make it mine but I notice I am getting imovie and iphoto promts to update those apps. Im signed into itunes so not sure how to completely clear these and eliminate future updates  for him on my new mac, I am so new at the mac that im struggling to find current OS I just did update and this mini is new back in Sept

    IMHO i would do a complete reinstall of the OS and have yourself a nice clean Mac Mini.
    First do a Backup with Time Machine, or use something like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner and make a Bootable Clone of the Mac if you have Applications, movies, music, documents and so on if you dont want to loose them.
    Then open the Mac App Store and hold down Option while you click Purchases then you can see the Mountain Lion or Lion ready to download again.
    Download which ever OS that came with the Mac Mini, then follow the instructions in the link below to make a Bootable copy of the OS and do a complete clean reinstall.

  • How do I install OS 10.4 on tower and pull everything from a G5 hard drive in an enclosure?

    My iMac G5 logic board fried. I'll take out the hard drive, put it in an enclosure and try to move everything to my spare G4 Mac tower. I'll install 10.4, but how do I get it to pull everything from the G5 hard drive in the enclosure?

    Oh, you can see it in Finder, I thought it didn't show up at all. Creating a new user with admin powers is probably the best you can do, pull all the data etc from the external and assign it to the new user, then, if you have nothing else on the tower, use the new identity as your main one.  If you do have data you need already on the tower, drag the important stuff into the new Admin account.
    Let me know if this works for you,

    Kerrse,
    ...and it's content?
    While your method will get the app itself across.. the content will present a possible problem, though once it is updated to 9.1.8 the OP could try the "in menu' option to download content but the essential stuff normally gets installed from the DVDs initially with LP9 Boxed set... so it may not be as easy as simply copying across the app only.
    However, worth giving a try.....

  • How do I install DW on my new computer when my account tells me  "You have no downloads" ?

    I have deactivated DW on my old computer. 
    When logging into Adobe on my new computer and selecting to download DW, I get a screen that reads, "You have no downloads." 
    How do I install DW on my new computer?

    Are you a creative cloud subscriber?
    Grab the Creative Cloud Desktop App first, then download it from within the program...
    Download a free trial or buy Adobe products | Adobe downloads
    If you have an older, perpetual license version of DW6 you can download it from here: Download and Installation Help | Download and Installation Help toward the bottom, then use your activation/serial from your previous installation.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

    Hmmm? A quick google search for external optical readers turns up many in the $20-$40 (USD) range. Didn't convert to £ or include any VAT charges, but you should be able to get something significantly cheaper than £70. That's your simplest solution.

    How do I install Acrobat on a new computer?

    The same way you would have on an older computer. You run the install program from the CD or the download you saved. You will need the S/N to complete the install. If you are no longer going to use the old computer, be sure to deactivate Acrobat on that machine.
