Installing creative suit on another imac

Hello
My imac is being replaced as my old one broke (within 6 months of having it) and I have the creative suit on it.
Am I right in saying that I can only install it on to one computer? If so, what is the process of reinstalling it on to another computer?
I don’t have my new imac yet, however I thought its best to get the ball rolling if I have to email Adobe or something so I’m not waiting long.
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
Joe

Creative Suite apps can be installed and activated on a maximum of two computers at any one time.
When you get the new iMac, just install the Creative Suite on it as usual. It will automatically activate and use up your 2nd activation.
If you still have access to your old Mac then launch any Creative Suite app and click <Application Name> - Deactivate in the menu bar to deactivate the entire suite and free up one activation.
If you don't have access to the old iMac then call Adobe to free up that activation for you.

  • How to install Creative Suite 6 on imac which doesn't have DVD drive?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure how to install CS 6  (DVD version) on imac which doesn't have DVD drive. Can anyone help me? I will appreciate

    Miradouro you can copy the files on a computer which does have an optical drive to a USB drive.  You can then install from the USB drive.
    Alternately you can download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS6 products.

  • Can I install Creative Suite on more than one computer?

    Hi,
    I have bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium, Student and Teacher Edition. I own an IMac and Macbook Pro. I have installed the Creative Suite onto my IMac. I have recently bought my Macbook Pro. Can I install the creative suite onto my Macbook as well as having it already installed on my IMac? I'll need to use both computers at the same time when running the programs in the creative suite.
    Thanks.

    Hi kglad,
    Thanks for that. So I'm not supposed to use both at the same time, or am I not able to? Because I usually do use my laptop when travelling but often still have the same programs open on the laptop still while I jump onto my Imac and use the same programs.

    You will need your serial number.  If you have the discs you should be all set.  If not, then you should be able to find it thru your Adobe account online if you registered the software previously.
    You might want to contact Adobe Support thru chat before you activate the new installation if you would like to free up the activation that might have been left in limbo.

  • How to install creative suite 4 on windows 8.1?

    I have a new Windows 8.1 laptop and am trying to install Creative Suite 4 on it.     I was able to do this on another laptop with 8.1, but that was over a year ago.   When I tried installing to the new computer from the CD, I got a message that "the Installer database is corrupt."   I contacted Adobe Support, and per their instructions I downloaded the "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1.7z" and "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1" files from the Download CS4 products page.   I clicked the applications file, and it created a  "Adobe CS4\Design Premium\Adobe CS4" directory under my desktop.  However, when I click the setup file, I get the same message - "the Installer database is corrupt."   I contact support again, and they told me that CS4 doesn't work with W8.1 - which is nonsense because it installed just fine on my W8.1 ultrabook.   So - what are the steps for installing CS4 on Windows 8.1, and how do I deal with the "installer database is corrupt" issue?   Thanks!

    I found the solution.  I did some research and found references to deleting the caps.db files under older versions of Windows.   I did find a caps.db file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup.   I deleted the file, and then right-clicked the setup file and used "Run as Administrator" (didn't do that the first time),    Everything installed fine, except for an error message with Adobe Flash CS4.   But so far, the programs seem to work fine.   BTW, Adobe Reader 11, Photoshop Elements 11, and Premier 11 came preinstalled with my computer), which may have created some conflicts.
    For what it's worth, Adobe's own website indicates that there are no known issues with Windows 8.1 for CS4 (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/windows-8-1-compatability.html).

  • Want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on third home Mac CPU, single user, for college classroom use. No other users at home. Have CS6 on Mac desktop and laptop

    I want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on a third home Mac CPU, single user in the home.  Will use the third CPU in college class

    A single user license only provides for having two activated installations.  If you want a third activated installation you will have to purchase another license.
    You can install on as many machines as you like, but the activations of those are limited to two per license.  You could activate/deactivate as needed, but I do not know if you end up reaching a limit for that as well.  I know there used to be a limit on the number of times you could activate.

  • Script error when installing creative suite 4

    I've been trying to work this one out for days.
    I uninstalled the creative suite to see if it would help download dreamweaver(I've since given up on dreamweaver for the time being). So when I tried to re-install creative suite an error message popped up right after the components page when I click next.
    Internet Explorer Script Error
    An error has occured in the script on this page
    Line: 1879
    Char: 2
    Error: 'id' is null or not an object
    Code: 0
    URL: file:///C:/program%20files/common%20files/adobe/installers/1e3ba55b33b1e8227645fbac82acca 3/resources/common/scripts/utils.js
    Do you want to continue running scripts on this page?
    Yes/No
    It makes no difference whether I click yes or no. On the next page it freezes at 'preparing to install'. This has happened everytime.
    Urgent help needed!

    Hi dear Experts,
    I URGENTLY need your HELP!
    I got the same script error message and don't know how to solve it ....after 3 days of searching and trying.
    Due to a system crash I reinstalled the same Win7x64 Ultimate (=> clean image, incl. SP1 and all updates, drivers etc) on the completely same computer hardware. But still the same package CS4 Design Premium refuses to get reinstalled again.
    BUT, I can not install CS4 Design Premium (Western Version), even though I have the original CD’s. It shows after checking the system profile and let me enter the license code and choose the software component to be installed, suddenly a window pops up saying exactly the message of above. I also tried to install as test version....
             An error has occured in the script on this page
             Line: 1879
              Do I want to continue run this script? (yes/no)
    Either way, the system starts with the next screen, but stops working at all. Nothing happens.
    So I downloaded the files from
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and tried the same with the download. After unpacking to a temp file and starting “SETUP.EXE” the system does a system profile check for about 75% and then stops …simply does not do anything anymore.….for ages. Ok, another trial brought me further but only to the script error.
    Note: any other Software including Adobe software, like: Lightroom 3, PS Elements 9, Acrobat Reader …. etc do not have any problems with installation.
    What did I do to help myself:
    - I tried again recopy the clean Win7x64 boot image and tried again... same result
    - used the cleaner tools http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html , but actually it does not offer the cleaning tool for CS4 but for CS6, but still I managed it successfully, no impact on the installation process of CS4
    - I deinstalled any other adobe products, including Flash player, shockwave player , air, Reader, ...what ever Adobe was the product I deinstalled .... no impact
    - I tried to install the package in Windows protected mode => does not even start the installation.
    - I tried a new user (administrator rights) and .... same ****
    Does anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?
    ... and no, to buy an upgrade is not an option for me.... then I take the hard way and change to CorelDraw Graphics Suite. I paid my full license and the CS4 is doing what I need. It is already very hard to swallow that CS4 is not support the very young CS4 (and I don't mean improvement, just to keep investment alive) ... So no option!
    Hardware:
    ASUS mainboard, Intel Pentium D90, RAM 8GB, Sapphire HD6950 Radeo AMD Graphic Card, ...but nothing has change since previous working installation.
    I appreciate any help and thank you in advance for looking into this.
    Best regards

  • Problems installing Creative Suite CS4?

    I had to have a new hard drive fitted on my intel iMac. When I tried to install Creative Suite Design Premium CS4 I had the usual problem of the installer hanging up at 90%.
    I have spent several hours with Adobe Support trying to resolve the problem. Even they do not seem to be able to find a solution?  At the moment I have a clean instillation of Snow Leopard 10.6.I have not downloaded any updates or installed any other programmes and am still the same problem.
    Does any one have a solution?
    David

    Running the installer through command line may solve your problem. For the steps please refer to solution#3 of the following kb article -

  • Installing Creative Suite 6 on a second computer despite not having a disc drive

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I would be able to install Creative Suite 6 on a second computer despite only having the disc and not having a disc drive. To elaborate, I purchased Creative Suite 6 with the disc to utilize with my iMac this past year. It worked correctly, as expected, since I have the capable disc drive. Now, the problem arises as I'm looking to purchase a MacBook Pro to take my designs mobile, but the MacBook Pro's no longer come equipped with CD/DVD drives. So my question is: is there a way I would be able to utilize my serial number or something of the sort to download my Creative Suite 6 onto my second computer, the MacBook Pro? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you for your time,
    Adam

    You don't. You only need to input the serial. Your other issues need further explanation and possibly the install logs.  You failed to provide any relevant info whatsoever.

  • How do I get help reinstalling my Adobe creative suite 6 after IMAC IOS 10.8 crashed?

    How do I get help reinstalling my Adobe creative suite 6 after IMAC IOS 10.8 crashed?  Apple had to reinstall operating system and all programs & data were lost.  Adobe System say serial number valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer.

    When you're installing Adobe upgrades, there are two ways of doing it:
    Have an existing, qualifying version already installed. Install the upgrade and enter your upgrade serial number. The installer will detect the earlier qualifying version already installed and the upgrade will finish installing. That is not your scenario.
    The second option (and easiest on new computers with no Adobe software previously installed) is to simply install the latest version (usually an upgrade) and enter your upgrade serial number. That's what you've done so far.
    The installer will look for an earlier version already installed on your computer. If it cannot find one, it will prompt you to enter the serial number from an earlier version. Once you enter the earlier qualifying version serial number, the upgrade installer will complete the installation. If you cannot find an earlier version serial number then the upgrade will not be licensed and will go into trial mode. From there you can use it for 30 days until it will no longer launch.

  • I recently got a new HP PC 500-267c/64 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop? It says I need the Twain Plug In. How do I get it?

    I have a new HP PC 500-267c/ Windows 7/64 bit c omputer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop.
    It says I need the Plug In Twain to scan into Photoshop and can download it but nothing else. How and where
    do I find the download?

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/twain-plug-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Photoshop_CS5_a nd_TWAIN
    There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.
