Installing Creative Suite 6 on a Windows after installing it on a Mac

I installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium on my borthers Mac and i want to put it on the Windows computer I just bought. It wont let me because it says the serial number is invalid. How do I fix this?

Standalone retail packages are platform specific.You simply can't use a Mac serial on Windows and vice versa.You will have to run a platform swap.

You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

I Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and it won't activate. Phone number for activation no longer works just directs to website. Any ideas on getting it activated?

Hi management-2,
Welcome to the Adobe Forums,
The best option would be upgarde to the present version as CS3 is not supported by Windows 7

As I'm satisfied with what I've got. I would like to avoid purchasing a new license for almost exactly the same thing.

Hi Sven,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,

Rename the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\OPM.db to OPM.old
Then please try reopening your web browser and downloading and installing the Creative Cloud application fromhttps://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
Or you can try:
Until this gets sorted out, here are the Creative Cloud direct download links... As/when needed, you can use these to download the Windows or Mac OS installers for any CC program without using the Adobe Desktop App manager.

Is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

Unfortunately, while I imagine it could be made to run on Windows 7, you simply won't be able to activate it on the new system because Adobe has taken the activation servers offline.
For a while Adobe published a version of CS2 with a special no-activation serial number, specifically for folks who have run afoul of the activation server problem, and at first it included users of CS and CS2. Unfortunately, the language of that page has changed to make it clear that only licensed users of CS2 may take advantage of the download.
You can judge for yourself here:

I previously purchased adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium my windows computer crashed, i recently purchased a MAC Is there some type of platform swap available?

I previously purchased adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium my windows computer crashed, i recently purchased a MAC Is there some type of platform swap available?

No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap. Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.

I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium in 08 and have upgraded to Mac.

I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium in 08 and have upgraded to Mac. It appears I am not able to use my old software as I have the Microsoft addition. What should I do now as I desperately need the program in my current situation?

Either run Windows on your Mac (Bootcamp, Parallels etc) and run CS3 in Windows on your Mac
or buy a new full version of CS6 for Mac

How can I install Mac Creative Suite 5.5 on Windows 8 w/ no CD slot?

In college we were roped into buying Macbooks for our courses. We were given Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 and I distinctly remember the IT guy telling us it had the capability of running on one Apple product and one Windows product. Now that I no longer have my Macbook and I'm using a new Windows 8 laptop with no slot for a disc, how do I install the creative suite? Was the IT guy just yanking my chain? I would greatly love to not have that software go unused.

Normally when you bought a Creative Suite the license is good for one platform or the other, but not both. Though you might have had some special licensing arrangement for the school.
If you want to take a shot at it... 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.

Adobe Creative Suite 2 Will not work after deactivation

First off, I don't get this company. I had to let that out.
I had an issue I started out with by not knowing which computer had my Adobe Photoshop on so I ended up Googling an answer over how to deactivate my product. It led me to a chat with a representative:

Pavithra: May I please have the serial number of the product, so that I can assist you better?
Preston: Yes, serial #
Pavithra: Thank you for the serial number.
Pavithra: Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.

After doing what she asked, I deactivated, and uninstalled my Adobe Creative Suite 2. Everything. So after all this, I reinstalled, entered in the new serial I got through their webpage for the special version after creating an Adobe ID. Guess what? After an unpleasant re-installation process (there is three downloaded parts you have to download for CS2 in which disc2 and disc3 are set on a default path that is separate from disc1 which you need to converge being it creates two folders with similar naming structures), and I ended up opening Adobe Photoshop only to find it say the very same thing I meant to avoid: your serial, name, organization, yadha, yadha, is incorrect/missing. Adobe will now close.
So frustrated with this company, and its support.

Well, now I cannot reproduce the error because I cannot install it again! Woohoo! For some reason, all three discs executables try installing the folders, files, etc... into a different folder making it when I try installing CS2 impossible since it asks for Disc 2, Disc 3, etc..
ANYWAY, my main issue was began with when I somehow managed to install it correctly, I got the very same message I contacted you guys over: Adobe Photoshop will now close because missing serial number something like that, and following it saying it will close.

Creative Suite 5.5 for Windows

I have downloaded the Creative Suite 5.5. I have read the installation guide, started the installation, had serial number success, but EVERY time I try to install it will get to the item downloading as "AdobeHelp" and the % never changes but the minutes blow up from a mere 73 minutes to 6987 minutes! I have tried installing the entire CS 5.5 twice and it always hangs there (which is 10%) and then tried only installing components of it (Flash Pro & Photo Shop) and it hangs again on AdobeHelp (which is 24%). I downloaded yet the other support thing required (Adobe Support Advisor) only for it to run and say there were no installation problems and to contact technical support.
Can anyone help?
I am at my wit's end. It shouldn't be this complicated to install software.
2. If I call and cancel the download version and have them ship me the discs in a box will it fix this? Ugh.
I left it for 36 hours straight on a wired connection to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

Wow. When I am not an "industry professional" or whatever your title is and when there isn't a "sticky" at the top of the forum (like other forums have) stating what specifics to provide, I thought someone merely may have run into the same problem as me. I didn't expect such a rude response. If someone can help without condescending tones, I would love a response from you all.
I am still attempting to install this on my pc. This computer has Windows 7. It is 64bit. I have downloaded all the files, attempted to install, removed the files, attempted again, numerous times. Regardless, it gets hung up on "AdobeHelp". I have tried installing the entire Suite as well as only Flash Pro & Photo Shop. I have been trying this for 3 days now. I don't know what other specs you all would need so if you reply kindly and tell me where to find it, I will provide it. I have done all the troubleshooting tips on Adobe's site and the last one stated to try this forum. Thus, the reason I am. It will go from a mere 16 minutes remaining to over 6,000. After 24 hours, it was still at the same % complete & the minutes continue to multiply.
So if you are a more positive person who is kind enough to provide guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Adobe Creative Suite 5 / Upgrade System Windows Vista to Windows 7

Dear customer service,
I am a customer of Adobe as I bought two years ago the Adobe Creative Suite 5.
My system is still Windows Vista. Now I wanna buy the Microsoft Home Office 2013 and now I have to upgrade from
Windows Vista to Windows 7.
My question is if there will be any problem with the Adobe Creative Suite 5? Or can I only put in the upgrade CD,
leave the Creative Suite on my pc and have nothing else to do than just installing?
Thank you for your reply.
With best regards,
Nicole

Correct. You only need to run the CS5 installer and have to provide the pertinent serial numbers in the process. Just make sure you run Help --> Deactivate bevor nuking your Vista install and reformatting your drive. If there are issues during the install, ask in the Download, Install & Setup forum.
