I'm upgrading my laptop and would like to re-install my PS CS6 on my new system. Any licensing issues? Any "gotchas" or tips I should be aware of?

My current system is having a hard time keeping up and it's time for an upgrade. I have a license for Adobe Design Standard CS6 and obviously would like to make sure my license is valid after the upgrade.
How do I go about migrating from one system to the other? Are there any "gotchas" I should be aware of?
is there a published "how to" document on how to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
Maurice

On no account use anything designed to make the upgrade painless by copying the software across... will leave you with something more or less broken. Reinstalling and setting up properly takes time, but is necessary.
So the basic "how to" is "imagine you just bought it for the first time". After it is working, deactivate on the old system to avoid future pain.
I'm not sure if anyone has any views on whether to use migration for any other purpose. I'm inclined to say, reinstall everything, copy data, set up afresh.

Hi, I have a new laptop and would like to syncronise my iphone with iTunes (which I have installed again). But my old laptop has died so I could not transfer any media files, etc. Can I simply connect my iPhone to the laptop without any data being lost?

But I must point out that leaving the iPhoto Library on the external is worth considering. Your internal drive would be better off without having to carry the photos.
When you booted with the external connected and you were asked for the library, did you try navigating to the Library in on the external drive?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.

Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

AM,
Set your view to "Print View" and you will see the individual pages. More pages will be added as you drag content away from the existing pages.
Arrange your content as you would like to see it printed. That's it. What you see is what will print.

My dad has seen CS6 and would like it. I wanted to know if the new CC has equal functionality?

Hi,
To be brief, my dad has wanted CS6 for quite some time but as it's not cheap we haven't been able to get it. He goes to photography competitons and really wants the functionality which a product like CS6 would allow.
I see this new offer where you can get the new CC and Lightroom for quite a small fee, a much more realistic price for a home user.
My three questions are :-
CC is essentially the new creative suite?
Does it have the same functionality as CS6? Is it a watered down version supplied?
Finally...excuse my ignorance, but from what I gather there is something which would be massively important to him something called "Bridge" or "Bridging"? Is this a function avaiable in "CC"?
Thanks in advance.

CC is essentially the new creative suite?
Yes, CC is the next major version after CS6.
CS6 can be purchased outright. CC is available by subscription only.
Does it have the same functionality as CS6? Is it a watered down version supplied?
There's nothing watered down about CC.
CC = CS6 + new and enhanced features.

Adobe Bridge is a companion app to Photoshop (and several other Adobe apps). It is bundled with CC.
