Installation of Adobe CS6

I had photoshop cs6 installed on my home pc running on windows vista. I have since updated the software to windows 7 and would like the photoshop cs6 installed back on the computer. The problem is photoshop came pre installed on my computer when i bought it new so i do not have the product code or installation disc. It is however still in the: windows.old folder with all its contents.
Is there a way i can get it installed back on this pc?
Cheers
Nick

Nick if Photoshop CS6 came pre-installed on your system with a lenience it would have probably need to be Activated the first time you used it and you would have needed to provide the key provided to you by the pre-installer and during the activation process you would be registered with Adobe. The system also should have come with a recovery package and perhaps a copy of CS6 installation files. If you remember activating you CS6 and registering with Adobe call Adobe and see if they can help. If you have lost the materials that came with your system call your system manufacturer or builder.

Installation Fail (Adobe CS6 Design and Web) : Internet Connection

Hello,
One of students asked me about one problem which was relevant to Internet Connection when he installed Adobe CS 6.
To begin with, I should have a check at internet connection on his laptop. Accessing to Adobe website, Google and Youtube was fine. I couldn't see any Internet problem.
Second, I should check an installation CD. We have 5 installation CDs so that I changed a different CD to install CS6 on his laptop. The same message, however, came up again.
Last, I should install Adobe CS6 without a license key which was a trial version. Even though I pressed 'Next' button, it didn't work.
Is this a problem of CS6 or his laptop? Other softwares was fine but the problem happened to CS6 only.
Thanks

Installing Adobe CS6 on Windows Server 2008

I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 on Windows Server 2008 to share up Indesign and InCopy via Citrix Presentation Server v6. The Adobe Extensions manager does not work properly and there for the InDesign application will not load properly becasue the extension/plugins are not being installed correctly. Cirtix requires that applications are inatlled via the Winowdows application installation tool
Is there a prescribed/recommended way to perform the installation of Adobe CS6 on Windows Server 2008?

Adobe cs6: extracting files, installer detects issues. Using Photoshop, the program crashes quickly.

I'm in the process of downloading Adobe cs6, and when I extract the downloaded files, installer detects a machine restart is pending, but even after restarting the computer, and retrying to extract the files the issue persists. So I tried ignoring the problem, (as that is one of the options) and completing the download, but then when I go ahead and use Photoshop, I only get to use it for less than 20 seconds and the program completely shuts down. I have no clue how to fix this problem.
I've tried unistalling Adobe cs6 and reistalling it multiple times, but no luck.
I've also downloaded the update published by adobe today (11/26/2012) but i still have this problem.
I don't know how to solve this issue, doesn anyone have any suggestions as how to fix it?
i'm using windows 7, and AMD Professional firepro graphics card
Thanks Stef

Hi Stef. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum for specialized attention to your situation.

Extra Stuff That Adobe Installs with Photoshop CS6

Just having gone through a test installation of Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 8 x64 virtual machine, I found it interesting that just after Photoshop CS6 went in Windows itself reported, through the Action Center, that a bunch of ''background'' programs were installed, and would I like to go into msconfig32 and disable them. In short, even Windows thinks the stuff Adobe installs is excessive and potentially troublesome!
As I prefer AutoRuns to msconfig32, I acutally did go and disable the software which I do not need running, to keep the system lean... It turns out that I actually AM able to disable just about every ''background'' program that Adobe installed, and Photoshop still works just fine.
Just to be clear, the only Adobe software packages I've installed on this VM are Adobe Reader and Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Here's a list of various modules I have disabled without apparent downside:
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
Adobe ARM (Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager)
AdobeCS6ServiceManager (Adobe CS6 Service Manager)
SwitchBoard (SwitchBoard Server (32 bit)
Services started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
SwitchBoard (Adobe SwitchBoard)
Task Scheduler Entries
\AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0-W8VMRP-NoelC (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
In the context of a Photoshop-only installation, about the only downside I can see for disabling these things is that since the auto-updaters have been disabled, occasionally I'll need to check for updates manually (e.g., Help - Updates... in the menus, when I hear on the forums that an update has been released).
Many of these things run all the time, from bootup, whether we're using Adobe software or not. It's no wonder people report that their systems "slow down" over time.
Adobe: Please consider offering a ''Lean'' or ''Custom'' installation mode in which these things are optional, and provide clear descriptions of what functionality they provide.
Not everyone prefers to give up their system resources for a little extra convenience.
(and no, I'm not interested in posting this ''feature request'' over on Photoshop.com and hoping for votes)

Thanks.
I've just looked over my Windows 7 AutoRuns settings, and it's pretty much the same stuff I listed above but in slightly different places. On this system over time I have installed multiple versions of Photoshop (Ps 6.0, Ps CS4, Ps CS5, and Ps CS6) and disabled the unneded parts as I've gone along.
Adobe programs I've disabled on Windows 7:
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run:
AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 (Adobe Updater Startup Utility)
Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVers ion\Run:
AdobeCS4ServiceManager (Adobe CS4 Service Manager)
AdobeCS5ServiceManager (Adobe CS5 Service Manager)
Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
Shell extensions in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Directory\Background\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers:
Adobe Drive CS4 (Adobe Drive Menu)
Task Scheduler Entries
\Adobe Flash Player Updater (Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.2r202)
Services/Drivers started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services:
AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date)
AdobeFlashPlayerUpdateSvc (This service keeps your Adobe Flash Player installation up to date with the latest enhancements and security fixes)
SwitchBoard (Adobe Switchboard)
adfs (Adobe Drive File System Driver)
Networking layers started in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\NetworkProvider\Order
AdobeDriveCS4_NP (Adobe Drive CS4 Network)
By the way, the AutoRuns tool I mentioned comes from here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Keep in mind I don't have the full Creative Suite, just Photoshop, and I am willing to check for updates manually.
Please understand that fooling with parts of the system like this can be touchy, and you might not want to attempt these kinds of operations unless you're familiar with Windows system management. That said, Autoruns makes it pretty easy (just uncheck / check a box) to disable things and re-enable them.

Adobe CS6 Installs x86 Software On Main Drive

I have a SSD where I only want my OS (Win7) to live on. I want all my other software and files to be on my other hard drives. I've modified my 64-bit and 32-bit default installation directory in my registry (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/how-do-you-cha nge-the-default-installation/73450b25-d794-4f18-9add-75253b893343).
Adobe CS6 comes bundled with software that are installed on both the 64-bit and 32-bit side. The 64-bit gets installed in the folder I specified in the registry but the 32-bit does not. Does anyone have any idea why this is?

You might want to try posting in the same page you linked to so that others there might be able to help you, or at least shed some light on why you are not getting the results you expect, or simply share in your problem. It appears various issues come up from following the information on that page based on the many responses to it indicating it does not work as specified

Adobe CS6 installation is very slow if internet access is blocked

Hi,
I noticed that our Adobe CS6 installations (using an AAMEE package) were surprisingly slow (as in five hours on a fast machine). I've worked out the cause of the problem, and am posting it here in the hope that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue - also, if anyone from Adobe is reading this, it would be nice to get it fixed, at least for future releases. :-)
The problem is that our machines don't have direct access to web sites on the internet, i.e., port 80 traffic is blocked by the external firewall. I discovered that the CS6 installer was repeatedly attempting to contact various web sites, including crl.verisign.net, presumably in order to validate digital certificates on files in the install package. Each such attempt had to time out before the next was made. Configuring Windows Firewall to block these attempts reduced the install time from five hours to thirty minutes.
On Windows 7, this command can be used to install a firewall rule that will block outgoing port 80 traffic:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="block www" dir=out action=block protocol=tcp remoteport=80
Once installation is finished, this command will remove the rule:
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="block www"

For later versions (Adobe CC and onwards) you need to block port 443 as well as port 80.

Adobe CS6 Design Standard product code installation failure?

My computer died on me and I am trying to re-install my software's, using the product code/serial numbers. The two first boxes, where you enter the product code, it won't let me fill the space in those, making impossible to install and enter the product code. I had this same problem, when I first tried installed this software on the old and dead computer with Adobe CS6 Design Standard.
Why is my installation disc making it impossible to install the software?

Mine does not have six set of four numbers.More like five. Out of the five, one has six alphanumeric combinations. It won't let me finish adding that last group of numbers and letters to complete re-registration of my software, allowing the disc to install the software data. The first two boxes won't let me add alphabetical letters from the product code number.

Adobe CS6 Design Suite Installation Problem

I have the serial number for my Adobe CS6 Design Suite but when I enter it into the installer it says that its invalid

Hi Pallavi,
Welcome To The Forums
Did you obtain the serial number from Adobe? Which operating system are you using? Do you have any other Adobe software installed? Are you able to register the serial number successfully on Adobe.com? What is the Platform of the Adobe CS6 Design Suite ( WIndows or Mac)?.
You can always contact us http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=creative-suite&topic=downloading-installing-an d-setting-up .
Thanks!

CS6 Installation Failure - Adobe Genuine Software Verification Error

I am trying to install CS6 as a trial version on my Windows8 laptop but keep being told that my software is counterfeit (" Installation Failure - Adobe Genuine Software Verification Error").
I have uninstalled and re-downloaded it with no success, and the only forum post i can see on this suggests checking the date/time on the PC are correct (which they are).
Any further ideas?
Many thanks

Thanks very much for replying Mylenium - i found this before but it only contains a link to photoshopCC rather than CS6 unless I have missed it??. I have bought a licence for the student/teacher edition of CS6 (which I am still waiting for) so presume that downloading photoshop CC wont work.
I have also tried the 'troubleshoot' link provided but couldnt find anything specific to this error.
Has anyone successfully resolved this problem for CS6?
Cheers

Where do I download the updated Adobe Installer for a CS6 disk?

I am so sick of Adobe I am ready to blow my head off! As anyone can tell from my other questions I have been working on the same problem for some time now.
I have a CS6 disk that I uploaded to my computer, but my hard drive crashed, so I have been trying and trying and trying to upload it to my second computer. A pop-up keeps telling me to download the Adobe Installer but the Adobe website says that version of Installer has been discontinued. What new Installer do I download to upload CS6 from the disk?

I have Windows 8.1 and have the Adobe CS6 Master Collection on a disk. I uploaded it to a computer some time ago but the hard drive crashed, so I am trying to upload it to a second computer. I have tried both the disk and downloaded the free trial but both times I try to start it up I get a pop-up that says "Installer failed to Initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem." When I click on the provided link I am taken to the following page that leads nowhere: http://www.adobe.com/support/loganalyzer/
Honestly? How do I fix this??
