Installing CS2 on second computer

I cannot use technical support as they refuse to do anything with CS2. I also cannot use technical support after being treating like a 5 year old from them either.
But my issue is, I am trying to install my CS2 software onto my dad's computer as I've been doing some stuff at home and my apartment. My computer at my apartment, which currently has Windows 7, and the first transferred activation (I got a new computer at Christmas), and CS2 works perfectly fine, so I don't want to hear that CS2 is not compatible with Windows 7.
My dad currently has Photoshop 5.5 on his system, which also by the way works perfectly fine, for anyone asking on Windows 7.
I put the CS2 CD's into the computer and go through the install process. Everything works just fine, until the software has finished installing, I go to start it up and it tells me that the username, organization, and serial number are invalid. I have confirmed with Customer Service (which by the way couldn't have been friendlier) and they told me everything matched up just fine, and it should work.
When it still didn't work, I was transferred to customer service, and they gave me the run around, and all they wanted me to do was spend the money I do not have on CS4, instead of trying to help me. Which why would I want to spend money on CS4 when I have a perfectally good version of CS2, and I don't need all the bells and whistles and updates of CS4? Plus in a couple weeks/months CS5 is going to be released, so then if their we don't support old stuff is true, then CS4 would be out of date, then I'd have to spend even more money on CS5.
All I want to know is why it's telling me everything is invalid, when everything matches up and Customer Service says everything matches and I have the one other activation.
Yes, I may sound a bit snippy on here, but being treated like I was by tech support, my patience is a bit worn.

so I don't want to hear that CS2 is not compatible with Windows 7.
Lose the "I know everything" attitude. If you want help ask for it with an open mind.
Whether you want to hear it or not, CS2 is completely unsupported under Win Vista and Win 7. However, I'm willing to go out on limb and guess that the other machine is a 64 bit version which adds a whole different layer of problems.
Add to that that you're asking for help in violating the EULA which allows one user to have the software installed for his/her exclusive use and you're really pushing it.
That said, read this:

Install Lightroom on second computer?

How do I contact Adobe to get a second copy of Lightroom to install on a second computer? It says you can do this with one license, but they don't say how to contact Adobe to get the second copy. I tried using my serial number when the trial was over and it does not work.
thanks
SallyTurner

Hi,
I just bought LR2 through the online store. I have installed it on my desk top and my lap top. I used the same ser. # for both installs and had no problem at all. I also installed pse7 from disc on both machines with no problem. I dont have the reason why it is not working for you. you should be able to do what you want. The only thing I can think of is if you had one machine running the program while you were trying to install the other one the install may have been stopped because you can only use one machine at a time.
Good luck
Randy

Question: How do you install CC on second computer?

Question: Bought CC. Installed it on my computer at work. It works nicely. I was promised when I signed up that each license could be installed on a second computer. When I log in on my home office computer, all I can see is trial versions of individual programs — not CC (as promised). How should I proceed? Retro-compatibility with CS6 is *challenging*.

Installing Photoshop on second computer without original installation CD

I have been upgrading Photoshop on my desktop for years and have just ordered the CS5 upgrade. I now want to also install it on my laptop. Can I do this with the upgrade CD? I no longer have the original CD and I was using Windows 3.1 at the time anyway.
Thank you! Kathy Juron

Hi Kathy, you don't need a previous version installed on that second computer, but in order for the upgrade installation to work on new computer, you'll need the serial number of a prior version to enter at the time of the upgrade install...
It doesn't have to be the very original version you had, just a prior version (up to three versions back). Each time you upgrade, you get/have a new serial key.

Trouble installing Captivate on second computer

Captivate was installed on my second computer (have a work computer at office and second at telework site)
When I launch Captivate it pops upt box "sign in required", but it asks for a certificate.
If I hit 'yes' or 'view certificate' it goes in long wait mode, then tells me I'm not connected to internet.
So I never get opportunity to put in my username/password/license code

Screen shots
If I select Yes
Timer wheel spins for about a minute then
If I select View Certificate I get
My telework computer is a virtual clone of my office desktop.
I'm not an administrator for the machine. But the admin who installed it was also unable to put in the license info.
It's been several months since it was purchased and installed on my telework computer.
Hope this helps.

how do I install photoshop on a second computer. detailed info

On my first computer, which has mac OSX 10.6.8 operating system, I was able to install photoshopCC
On the second computer, which has the same operating system, I says the operating system is not supported by photoshop anymore.
Is there anything I can do to navigate this problem without upgrading my operating system?
When you say you were able to install on OS X 10.6.8 on your first computer, how long ago did you do that? The reason I ask is that Photoshop CC supports 10.6.8, but Photoshop CC 2014 (released this month) does not. That might be why the current version won't install. What you could do instead on your second machine is use the Previous Versions feature of the Creative Cloud app to install one of the older versions of Photoshop that does support 10.6.8, either Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop CC.
Also, regarding CC activation: You don't have to manually deactivate installations of software you installed with the Creative Cloud desktop application. As you install the software on more machines, it will let you use the two most recent installations you signed into, while automatically signing you out of all older installations.

Installing CC on second computer

I'm trying to install my CC apps on a second computer but it doesn't let me log in properly and won't show any programs in the 'apps' section of the Creative Cloud installer.
This all works fine on my primary computer. What am I missing?
Both computers are iMac's not that it should make any difference.

Why can't I install on a second computer?

Why can't I install Premier Elements 12 on a second computer without paying for it again. The computer I originally installed the program on died. When I open Premier 12 on the second computer a window pops up to either buy it or use it on a trail basis. I already paid for it once.

bowguy1
There could be several scenarios for your situation.
1. You purchased Premiere Elements 12 as a download to a Windows computer and you want to use those downloaded 12 installation files on a Mac computer.
2. You already have the same purchased serial number on more than 2 of your computers. If this is the case and you want to download to a 3rd computer, then you need to deactivate that same purchased serial number from one of the 2 computers.
a. you can deactivate the purchased serial number from the working computer
b. you will need Adobe via its Adobe Chat to deal with the purchased serial number trapped on the crashed computer.
Please review and determine which scenario applies to you. If none, please give more details.
We are not Adobe. Rather user to user forum.

Trying to install on a second computer takes me to "Billing Info"

When trying to download and install Lion on my second computer, I go to the MAS - Purchased - and Lion is there with all my other purchased apps. On this computer (without Lion) it says "Install" to the right of Lion. I click on Install and it then takes me to my Apple ID Billing Info page and apparently wants me to confirm my credit card (pre-filled except for the CV code). Is this going to charge me a second time...or is it truly just a confirmation of the credit card I used to purchase Lion initially?

John...the best instructions for this seem to be at http://tidbits.com/article/10253. You can vary things as necessary, but I've given up and just use native Gmail since for me it's simply the best. That, pluse Google Calendar and I'm happy. Everything else is Mac, but I need to have a 1000% perfect sync with our Android phones, so this just works for me.

HT4722 install fcpx on second computer? it keeps reading "error"

i've been trying to install (already purchased) fcp x on a second computer (macbook pro)
and it stops at around 850 mb's, and then i get an "error" prompt.
any suggestions?

Don't bother with the download if it's causing problems.
Simply copy the app across with a memory stick or hard drive etc. . . . . . that's all there is to it and much quicker.

Installing LR5 on second computer that is a Macbook Pro; 1st computer is desktop PC

I recently purchased a Macbook Pro to use for my photography work because of its exceptional display. The Macbook Pro will be my second computer for working with Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS5. My first computer is a desktop PC operating Windows 7. Is it possible to extend my license to two computers with different operating systems?
Many thanks,
John
[personal information removed]

Dave thanks for the response and info to my question concerning Lightroom
and two different operating systems. I was almost sure that there would be
complicating issues concerning a multiple operating system installation.
Doesn't sound to complicated though. I'll give it a try as soon as I
purchase an external DVD drive for the Macbook. I tried to contact Adobe
concerning this question, but their response system is so convoluted that
it would probably be easier to mount an expedition to Mars than have
someone from that company respond to a simple question.
Thanks again,
John

Install Printer on Second Computer

A new 5530 was instaled on a desktop computer, with some difficulty but it works and commincates wirelessly. Computer knows it is there and has setup properties available.
I tried to set it up on a netbook that has no CD drive. I copied the CD fiels to a memory stick and carried it cross. Installation looks good but never completes.
I went through the troubleshooter numerous times, and tred to download to software. Each tiem it stops and asks if the downloaded installation file exists, and if I have access to it.
It is in the download file, and if I tell it to run, it runs and then asks if it exists and if I have access to it.
The troubleshooter wanted me to make numerous changes to my computer, which I did, none of which helped.
The netbook knows the printer is part of the network, but has no software to drive it.
How to escape from this? I have spent at least five hours working on this and got nowhere.

Hi,
That probably is the problem. Please download the following file, save on your laptop (remember where) then right click the download file and run as Administrator:
