Installing CS3 on multible computers

I have CS3 on my PC, and a lap top. The laptop serves as a back up if my PC goes down, but it is too big and heavy to carry with me when I have on site gigs out of town. So I am looking at buying a Cinteq Companion PC but I need PS on it. Do I have to buy PS again if I what it on my new Cinteq?
Please help.
Thanks

You are only allowed 2 activated copies. If you have 3 computers you can deactivate one, but do not have to unistall.

I am unable to activate an old windows copy of CS3 that I have. Did previously install it on other computers which I then failed to deactivate before discarding them. What can I do now?

why can't you install it?
if it's because you've used your max of 2 current activations and need to deactivate (and you'll see that message if that's the problem), contact adobe support - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html
otherwise, explain.

How many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

how many computers are you allowed to install cs3 Production suite on?

>install it on an indefinite number of computers?
You can put the install disc in 1 or 2 or 2000 drives... but that doesn't mean that the activation will work on more than two at a time
Since activation is required to use the program... you are limited to 2 installs at a time
As has been discussed in other threads, you must DE-activate one of your two allowed activations before you may activate on another computer
PS - I think I have also read in the forums that there is some limit to how many times you may activate and deactivate and activate again (no, I don't know the number... I just remember that there was some discussion of such)

I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop, and I can't open my raw images in camera raw. It worked fine on my old XP computer

I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop. Why can't I open my raw images in camera raw? Worked fine on my old XP computer

If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Which camera are the camera raw files from?
After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
or
Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?

Install CS3 Over CS4 Demo

I've given my daughter my old CS3 Design Suite. It is properly de-authorized from my computers. I am running CS4.
She tried the CS4 30 day free demo. She has since "uninstalled" it from her MacBook Pro.
She's trying to install the CS3 Design Suite and gets a message "Install the CS4 disk".
What is the trick to installing CS3 when you have previously had a trial version of CS4?
Thanks.
Steve

She probably needs to run Adobe's CS4 Clean Script. Here's the link:

Installing Photoshop on new computers

I have Photoshop CS3 installed on my current iMac. I am getting a new iMac this week and I plan on getting a new laptop soon. I want to install CS3 on both new computers. My understanding is that I can only have the program on two computers. If the above is accurate, I would appreciate help on accomplishing the desired installation on the new computers. I will not continue using my current iMac.
Thanks,
Al Prichard

Hi Al,
I've moved your discussion to the Photoshop General Discussion forum. The folks who visit this forum regularly should be able to help you out.
Best,

Installing cs3 on new computer

Hi
I have 2 computers with cs3 installed. One of the computers recently died and I purchased a new one. When I try to install cs3 on the new computer it says I have reached the maximum number of activations. There's no way to deactive cs3 on the old computer because it won't even turn on. Any solution? Thanks, Karen

There should be a phone number on the activation denied screen. Call it and explain the situation.
There's nothing anyone here can do.

Re-install CS3 on my old Vista 64 bit computer now with Windows 7 64 bit

Hello----I had Windows 7 64 bit installed on my old computer which had Vista 64 bit. I'd like to re-install CS3 and Lightroom 2 both of which I had on the Vista system. Do I need to get permission from Adobe to reinstall? I have serial numbers ready. [email protected]

As long as you de-activated PS CS3 before replacing your operating system, no. Not sure about lightroom.
PS CS3 can be activated on 2 seperate computers. You still have one activation remaining and will not have to call in to Adobe to activate.

Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop. Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number? Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade? I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations. Thanks in advance!

You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.

I am trying to install CS3 on Windows 8 and keep getting a message saying "the serial number I entered is not valid please enter it again" Does anyone know how to install successfully on Windows 8?

CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
directly for serial number issues.

Can I have the same product installed in my two computers (home and office)?

Can I have the same product installed in my two computers (home and office)?

Yes, as long as the two machines both meet the system requirements for whichever software this concerns.

Can I use the install disk on two computers?

I haven't actually installed it on my computer yet, I just allowed whatever was going to install itself to come up. If I have another computer, can I use the install disk to put OSX on there or not? If so, can I still use it in case I need a backup load of my computer?

Only if you get a family pack license newer than the installer disk which came with the computer(s) can you install it on multiple computers. Check your license agreement.
You can't use the disks which came with another computer on a second computer. These articles explain more along those lines:

As for backup, I recommend looking at these various procedures:

I had installed Maverick on two computers. The first one is a Mac Mini a new one and it gave me Keynote and Number for free. The other computer is a iMac and if I want Keynote and Number I must pay 19,99$ each. Why do I have to pay on the iMac?

I had installed Maverick on two computers. The firs one is a new MacMini that my husband purchased last week. When I had installed Maverick the applications Numbers and Keynote were free and installed on his computer. When I do the same on my iMac, I had to pay 19,99$ for each applications. We have two differents Apple ID. Why I do pay for these applications when those were free for the iMac and in the add Apple say it's free? Or, is somebody can tell me how to installed those for free.
Thank you.

They are only free via the account orginally purchased or if they came pre installed on the computer. Depending on what you have purchased already us the one account for the app store - saves headace and hassel in the future thus not double buying software. Do you have iwork installed on your imac? meaning the iwork 09? if you do your should be able to to to the store and update it. Worked fine for me since i bought the DVD version of iwork 09 and Aperture 3. I did not want to have to rebuy them so the app store noticed i had them installed and changed the update via the app store.
