How Many Times Can I Use The Same Serial Number For Adobe Creative Suite 4?

I have design standard and was told I can use the same serial number on multiple computers. How many time can I use it? And say I install it on the maximum number of computers, but get a new computer, can I uninstall it on one of the old computers and use it on the new one? And can I use the programs on both computers simultaneously or do I have to use them one at a time?

Broadly speaking, it depends on the type of license you have.
Specifically, if you have a single license then officially, you should only install it once on one computer.
Practically, (unless it has changed with CS4) you maybe able to install it on more then one computer, BUT can only run one instance of the software at a time. You can not run more then one instance of the software concurrently; i.e. you can't run Dreamweaver on Computer 1 and Photoshop on Computer 2. That would be two instances, and is not permitted.
This is my understanding. I am happy to be corrected if I am wrong

Sorry Fred you are wrong.
If you have a single license you can install it on as many computers as you like. you can only activate the suite on two computers at anyone time. Work and Home or as many of us do it Desktop and Laptop. You can not use the computers simultaneously. You only have 20 activation/deactivations so use them wisely. Student versions only have one activation. You can not break up the suite installs the suite is considered one application.

  • Can I use the same serial number for mac and pc?

    My problem is that my mac is falling apart and I don't know how long it's still working - can be hours or can be months. I'm not sure if my next computer is mac or PC, so I'd like to know if the same serial number can be used with both mac and PC? I have understod that I can delete the program from my old computer and then use the same serial number in my next computer (Is it working that way?). So if I now buy a lisence for mac, can I use the same lisence later with PC?

  • Can I use the same serial number for master suite when reinstalling after clean install of windows 8

    I am reinstalling windows because windows got corupted. I can not access my computer to deactivate the software.  Do I need to be worried about not having deactivated it? I will be reinstalling mastersuite 6 after I get windows 8.1 clean installed on the same computer. I just want to make sure I will not have any problems reinstalling and setting up the adobe mastersuite after I have installed windows 8.1. I don't want to have a problem with the serial number still being registered to my old installation of windows that will have been on the same pc.
    Thanks for your help!

    Your previous activation will still be in the loop, so you should contact Adobe support and ask them to reset your activations.  That way you can be sure you have the two your license allows for.  You can always skip this if you only activated once before but it will leave you with no extra activation should you find a use for a second installation.

    You should be able to. Just deactivate your copy of CS5 on your old computer. Open one of the applications and choose Help > Deactivate.
    Use your original install discs or a backup of your install file to install on the new computer. Or download here:

  • Can I use the same trip number for several travelers?

    Hi everybody.
    This is my question... We need (in travel expenses) to use any field in order to group (add) several trips made for several travelers (in same dates).
    Expl: several travelers made the same trip (with different receipts and costs). We need to create a "supra-level" group (which could help our user to summarize, authorize, etc).
    I have made some tests changing the trip number assignment (in trip schema) to external one. The system seems not to have any problem if I assign the same trip number to several travelers (please, could you tell me if this is correct?).
    I´m not sure this could be the best solution, because I have one question... If I have travel request and travel expenses... can I assign external range numbers to the travel request? (how can I do it?).
    Please, could you tell me something about this? (if this is not correct, could you tell me if it´s possible to create a new field to do this?)
    Thanks!!!!!!

    Hi,
    As mentionned in an earlier response, you cannot assign the same trip number to multiple employees.
    If you are looking to group together similar claims based on the type of travel which was done, you can always use any of the following fields which can be made 'available' on the entry screen.  That is the 'Activity Type' or the 'Trip Type Specific' or the 'Trip Type Enterprise'.  By creating categories of types of travel, you can then use these values as selection parameters in your reports to isolate specific costs related to specific activities.
    For example, you know that many employees will be traveling for a specific conference and you want to be able to report on the total cost of that conference, you could create an Activity Type and ask employees to complete the field with the appropriate value when completing the claim.  Then you could create a report on that Activity Type only.
    Another option would be to use Internal Orders.  Create an internal order, have the employees assign their costs to the IO and then run a CO - IO report.
    Depending on how 'permanent' your employee groupings are, you could also use some fields on Infotype 17 to assign different employees to different employee groupings.  These employee grouping values are also available as selection parameters in the reports and can allow you to isolate groupings of individuals. 
    It all depends where you want to create the grouping....
    Hope this helps you somewhat...

  • Why can't I reactivate my serial number for Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3?

    Below is a screen shot of what I am trying to explain. I did Step 2 but isn't recognizing my serial numbers. I don't understand that. I have purchased this a while back. Is it because it's old? Or do I have to purchase a serial number even though I have one already?  I was avoiding to have to pay something that I already have which isn't working. What do I do?
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Hi sagalynn,
    Please see this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
    You shouldn't need to purchase an additional serial number. Did you activate your software on more than two computers? If so, you would need to deactivate it on one computer, before activating it on another.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

  • How many times can I install the same song on a different PC

    I had one PC where i kept all my iTunes songs. I also made a backup from all of these songs on a external hard disk. I had big problems with my PC and I had to reinstall Itunes and import all the songs again (from my backup on the external hard disk). When I want to play some songs I receive a message telling me I installed that song for the 5 th time on a different PC and that it will be the last time I can do that. How is this possible? I only installed it on 1 PC ????

    If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations. If you've reached your limit of 5 you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

    In my experience the offline servicing feature is only OK and too unreliable for production.

  • How many times can u use an app?

    hey! i have purchased many ipad apps
    im about to get a second ipad and i want the apps on both using just the one purchase of them (one account)
    my question is how many times can u use an ipad app with one purchase? i kknow with music it says 5 copies but how many with apps?

    Do you and your wife share the same itunes account or do you each have one? If you share the same one - say both you and she log in as [email protected] into itunes, then every device you sync up with itunes will share the same apps - provided they're compatible.
    For example, I had an ipod touch for over a year then got the ipad, all my touch apps transferred to my ipad when i set it up. I could then go in and delete the ones I didn't want on the ipad. And if I were to also get an iPhone, I could sync any existing apps that I have bought that are compatible with the iphone to it.
    Theoretically, if i had 20 ipads for a classroom, I could use one itunes account and put the exact same apps on all 20 of them.

  • HT204053 can I use the same apple id for many devices

    can I use the same apple id for many devices on the app find my phone

    You can if they are all using the same iCloud account (ID).  The app will only display the devices using the iCloud account that the app is currently signed into.  If your devices are using different accounts, with different IDs, you will need to sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID being used on the device you are trying to locate.
