If I upgrade my computer can I remove downloaded Creative Cloud applications and re-install them?

I plan to upgrade by primary computer later this year.  If I download Creative Cloud applications now can I later remove them and re-install them on the new computer?

Sounds like we have to deactivate:
1. one application at a time [in CS5.5 I can uninstall & deactivate multiple applications, which is much more convenient]
2. deactivation must be done on the physical computer which hosts the application instance.
Is this true?
Feature Request: remote deactivation of applications by informing adobe to deactivate while logged in on adobe account.  This cleanly solves two problems:
1. forgetting to deactivate s/w prior to scrubbing a computer which is leaving service
2. needing to run on a third computer w/o violating the adobe license. [several people have posted queries about this because they have a desk computer and two laptops or are temporarily using someone else's computer]

  • Can I cancel my Creative Cloud membership and still use Photoshop on my computer?

    I have the month-to-month Creative Cloud membership and am curious if I would be able to cancel my Creative Cloud membership and still have access to everything still involved with my Photoshop downloaded onto my computer?

    If you have licensed versions of software that you purchased separately from your Cloud subscription you can still use them.  There is a chance that the Cloud will have taken over for them in which case you may have to uninstall, clean things up, reinstall.

  • How can I remove a Creative Cloud Free membership from my account?

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    I have Creative Suite 6 installed.
    I started to use CC and decided I didn't want it anymore, so I let the account lapse this month.
    The computer automatically switched now to a Creative Cloud Free membership, but how can I remove this?
    Now when I launch Acrobat, for example, it asks me to renew my subscription. Well, I don't want to!
    Help!

    You MAY need to uninstall the Cloud and run the Cleaner

  • Can I subscribe to Creative Cloud monthly, and still work with my Photoshop on my computer OFFline??

    Hi, I just got a new iMac, and was wondering if I should put my current PS CS5 from my macbook pro onto it, or should I just go with the monthly subscription? My issue is that I work with no internet a lot, and am worried that will be a problem. And if it is better for me to just keep my CS5, how do I get that onto my new iMac now that there are no disc drives to install? Thank you in advance.

    You can use prepaid 1 year Creative Cloud plan software offline as long as your computer is connected to the 'net every 99 days or less.

  • I can't use my Creative Cloud applications

    Hi! I can download all applications from Creative Cloud (I have student&teacers account), but only one at the time works. If I open one application (e.g. Photoshop), then for example Illustrator does not work. So, where is the problem?

    Hi,
    Subscriptions don't need a serial to be activated.
    Verify and clean your hosts file as explained on step 3.3 of this doc :
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

  • Why can't I download Creative Cloud apps?

    Hi
    I joined the Creative Cloud Photography Offer.
    I logged in.
    I can see the page Apps & Services.
    When I select Creative Cloud App it only opens the header to that page. No content displays. I cannot therefore download anything. Same with Lightroom or PS.
    I tried other pages, but Adobe home page, Learn Page, and Customer Service all say Safari can't connect to server.
    I can see these pages if I open Adobe website on my Windows laptop and iPad.
    I have reset Safari, turned off plug-ins, updated Flash Player and Java, reset Safari, but no luck.
    I have tried using Firefox and have the same issue. I still cannot connect with most of your website from my Mac, which is where I do all my photo editing.
    I am currently on my PC laptop, as my Mac cannot access the customer service chat or the forums.
    I have Mavericks installed on my Mac

    It turns out that Adobe is editing the Hosts file on the Mac, preventing those browsers from reaching adobe.com
    Locate the terminal app and run it.
    Open the hosts file by typing the following in the Terminal window and pressing return:
    sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
    Type your user password XXXXX prompted.
    If you see references to Adobe, that is what is preventing the connection.

  • Can no longer launch creative cloud application

    Running Windows 8.1 64bit.
    If I click on the creative cloud icon in the system tray, it opens the creative could application window, but with a tiny modal dialog in front of it with just the CC icon in it. I then can't close this window or do anything with the cc app except kill it from the task manager.
    Running it again just creates the system tray icon again, and clicking on that has the same result.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hi John M Reynolds,
    Please uninstall CC Desktop from control panel. Run the Adobe cleaner tool and try installing again. If the issue still persists please try launching CC desktop in hidden admin account: http://www.ghacks.net/2012/06/11/windows-8-enable-the-hidden-administrator-account/.

  • Can I re-download Creative Cloud?

    I have a question concerning eligibility for Adobe Creative Cloud 5. I work for a company that needs me to do some graphic design work for them. They gave me the discs for Adobe Creative Suite 5, and said that another graphic design student had used it in the past. So when I tried to download it on my computer, the product code was invalid. I was wondering if there is a way for me to use the software since we have all the discs, and maybe just use it under an account for me.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    1.Make sure that your installation media and serial number is matching ( meaning if your are having CS6 design suite serial number and if you have tried to enter the serial number for Cs6 design and web premium you may get invalid serial number error)
    2. Serial numbers will be platform specific( mac version serial numbers cannot be used on window), make sure that you are trying to activate on correct OS.
    3. Make sure that your installation media and language  is matching.

  • HAVE CS5 UPGRADE IN COMPUTER CAN'T REMOVE CS4

    Need help i have CS3 and CS4 and CS5  all upgrades on my pc  if i remove the older versions then CS5 does not work properly
    any suggestions ???

    They are all independant programs and can co-exist on same
    computer.  However, open Task Manager and in Processes tab make sure Bridge is not running in background (autostart option). 
    You can only have one version of Bridge running at the same time.

  • Why can't I download Creative Cloud apps when running Linux?

    Using Linux (Mint), when trying to download any CC app, e.g. Photoshop CC I am told:
    "You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements below for a full list of supported platforms."
    I have an active membership, why do you care which operating system I run? (I am not talking about installation or anything else)
    In my opinion it's bad practice to exclude your customers from downloading the products they paid for!
    Looking forward to an explanation! Thanks.

    Most of the Adobe applications only run on Windows and Mac OS. You can see the System Requirements by going to https://creative.adobe.com/products and choosing a product. Then chose the System Requirements tab. So for Photoshop you will see:
    There are the Touch app which run mostly on iOS with PS Touch running on Android too.
    No applications run on Linux.
