Install CS4 Student Edition on two computers?

hello
in a few months i want to buy a new PC. Can i install it on my old laptop and on the new one too?
or do i have to uninstall it first?
thank you very much

You'll have to check the license agreement to be sure, but I believe you are allowed to install on a limit of two machines, so long as you are not using both installations simultaneously.
"2.4 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the important restrictions set forth in Section 2.5, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy."

  • Installing CS4 student edition onto a new macbook pro

    I have just bought a macbook pro (which doesn't have a disc drive) and am wanting to install my student edition of CS4 onto it.
    As advised by adobe I have copied the installation CDs onto a USB and have then copied them onto my new macbook to try and install it that way.
    I can install the first disc fine, but then it asks for me to insert disc two - when i open the copied file from disc two nothing happens ... anyone know how to get around this/make it work!
    I have seen on another thread that you can install the trial versions of cs4 and then input your serial number to activate them but I don't know if this will work woth the student edition?
    (I had first tried to install CS4 onto my new laptop using the migration assistant, but it must have corrupted the files, that when i spoke to adobe and they told me to do try installing using USB)

    The only difference between student editions and others is the license... the software is the same. 
    As you mentioned, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Help! Installed CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appeared!

    Hi! I recently installed the CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appears in 'Applications.' A lot of the files associated with Photoshop and In Design are on the computer, but not the programs themselves. I wonder if this has to do with the fact I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and In Design, but deleted them when I was ready to install CS4. They are no longer in trash.
    Thank you.

    If you deleted them by simply dragging them to the trash, then yes, that
    would explain it. Those application need to be uninstalled, not trashed.

  • Is it possible to install illustrator CS5.1 Student Edition on two separate machines?

    Is it possible to install illustrator CS5.1 Student Edition on two separate machines?

    Yes as long as they are both used by the license holder.  Basically you should be the only individual using the software on either computer.

  • Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

    I am interested in purchasing Photoshop CS4 student edition. I live in the States and my operating system is a Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger. It's also an intel. Anyway, I know a graphic designer who told me you can't use the program for commercial use and also you can only install the disc one time. What constitutes commercial use? If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
    Thank you!

    You can use the program for whatever you want.
    >If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
    You can deactivate the other copy, then install from the original media on the new box. DO NOT
    transfer the program files, ever; always install from the original media.
    The license is for one user, two computers that are not used simultaneously, e.g. a laptop and a desktop box.
    You can read the EULA on the Adobe web site. Do a search.

    You can download and install some version of CS4 from this site:

    Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set your Adobe authorization cookie.
    What I’m not sure is if the version downloaded from the above link will activate with student edition serial numbers or not.

    I have reinstalled cs4 student edition afther a deactivation by adobe but can not veiw ORF or DNG files in bridge i am runing windows 7

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

  • Question about Installing CS6 Student Edition

    I purchased student version of Adobe CS6 about a year ago, unfortunately about the same time as I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from college, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install the suite before I become ineligible as a student/or if I will be unable to install and register. I currently have a work computer, but don't want to install the program until I get my own computer. Furthermore, how many devices can I install the student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I'd like to install it on my work computer, then hopefully get my own personal device ASAP and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

    If you are still a student then you can install and use the software.
    As far as installing it on a work computer goes, that is usually up to the company you work for.  Most companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

  • CS4 Student Edition Questions

    Hi, I'm currently a student at Seattle Art Institute and need to get CS4. My question is, if I get CS4 Student Edition is it any different than the regular CS4? Does it not include some things that the other has? Also, when I graduate will I have to upgrade to a regular CS4 in order to do my own personal work or can I just use the Student Edition. And lastly, will I be able to use the Student Edition for internships? Thanks for any help,
    -Eric

    I'm aware this post is rather old, but I was curious as to where you got this information? The "US" website does not say that, and I purchased the student version and talked to three different Adobe associates over the phone (including the supervisor) all of which said that here in the US you absolutely can use the Student edition of CS4 for commercial work.
    EDIT: never mind I saw your link. You're right about it NOT being able to be used for commercial use in the UK.
    I was worried for a second. Here in the USA you can use it for commercial work. Just called and verified the difference on the phone yet again...lol
    UK no USA yes

  • Quick "Photoshop CS4 Student Edition" Question

    How many times am I able to download the CS4 Student Edition? If I can recall, I was able to download my old CS3 version twice, but I am having difficulty locating where to find this particular information. Thanks for the response. Much appreciated!
    Jenna

    As far as I know, the Student Editions range is no different from any other Adobe downloadable product. In their Online Order FAQ, they write:
    "How long will my download be available?
    You may return to your Online Store account to resume a download, or re-download your products for 3 years after the day of purchase. If for some reason you are unable to access your account or are unable to find your previously purchased downloads, please contact customer service. Adobe reserves the right to change this policy at any time with or without notice."
    (Taken from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/tn_16719.html#Completed_download )
    That seems to indicate that you're not limited to a number of downloads, but a time in which to download. If you click on the 'Your Account' link at the top of the Adobe site, and then on the 'View Order History' link, you should have a 'Your Downloads' tab that will make all your purchases available to download.
    You may find that this varies slightly with volume licensing however. I'm assuming you mean a Student Editions individual purchase, but if you're buying through your university for example, you should check with them. If you're unsure of what kinds of student editions are available, check out this article explaining the different Adobe Photoshop Student editions, http://www.easyelements.com/adobe-photoshop-student.html .

  • Installing Web Premium CS4 Student Edition on Laptop After Windows 7 Upgrade Question

    I hope that this hasn't been asked before but my question is the following: I want to upgrade my laptop computer from Windows XP to Windows 7.  But I hear that all programs get uninstalled after installing Windows 7 on a Windows XP machine.  I would have to reinstall all programs again to use Web Premium CS4.  But my student edition says that I can only install the program on two computers.  Does this mean that I can install the program only two times or can I still install on the same laptop after changing the OS (I installed CS4 on two computers, my laptop and desktop)?  I would very much like to continue using Web Premium CS4 on my laptop but am worried that I won't be able to install it since I installed CS4 on my laptop and desktop (two installs already).  Let me know if I can install on the same laptop after upgrading to Windows 7.  Thanks in advance for the help.

    The issue is not installation...it's activation. Deactivate the software first. (Help > Deactivate from any application).
    Back up all of your data, preferences, etc because as you note, this will be a clean install of Windows. Be aware that this is only recommeneded method for upgrading a Windows installation. NEVER do an in place Windows (or, IMO, Mac OSX) upgrade.

  • Can I install CS6 Student edition on more than one personal Mac computer?

    I bought Adobe CS6 two years ago, the student edition, and am not considering purchasing a new personal computer which I will need adobe creative suite on. Am I 'allowed' to install it onto two personal computers using the same adobe user ID?

    yes, adobe single user licenses allow up to two concurrent installations/activations.
    you'll need your serial number to install.

  • CS4 Student Edition - Can my daughter use this for commercial use after she has finished her studies?

    I have searched all day, having phoned 6 different numbers and researched everywhere to not get a definate answer to this question. We are in the UK, I do not want to spend money on software which she cannot legally use after her studies to produce work which she can sell commercially. Some forum answers are relevant for North America only or are a little out of date refering to Education Licenses. Please help!! One person said they embed a watermark to prevent commercial use but is this an education copy or a student edition?

    Within limits, yes, but as you stated you are in the UK, I don't think it is "allowed". Refer to this link: http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentedition/faq.html
    I'll copy the text for sake of ease.
    Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?
    Adobe Student Editions give the end user all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
    Is there a time limit on using the Student Editions?
    No, there is no time limit on using the Student Editions.
    Can a Student Edition also be used for commercial purposes?
    In North America, Student Edition software can be used for commercial purposes. Outside North America, Student Edition software is for noncommercial purposes only.
    How many versions of a Student Edition can I purchase?
    Each eligible person may purchase only one copy per Adobe Student Edition. For example, a student may purchase only one copy of Creative Suite 4 Design Premium Student Edition. If that student buys an additional copy of Design Premium Student Edition, no serial number will be issued for it.
    How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?
    A Student Edition license can be installed on up to two computers (for example, a desktop and laptop). Activation ensures that no more than two computers can have the same serial number.
    Can I upgrade from a Student Edition?
    Yes, a  Student Edition can be upgraded to a commercial version.
    Can I resell a Student Edition?
    The end user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student Edition license.
    Can I use a Student Edition after I graduate?
    Yes, after you graduate, you may continue to use your Student Edition; the license does not expire.
    Can I use a Student Edition  on a computer at school?
    No, you may use your  Student Edition only on your own private computer.
