Installing CS4 on a third computer

We recently took 2 computers that had CS4 running on them off line because MicroSoft no longer supports the XP op sys that they were using. We have a laptop with CS4 loaded but deactivated and a new Dell desk top newly loaded with CS4 with no problems. I am trying to load CS4 onto my wife's laptop as the third computer but it will not load. Help!

When I try to run the CD after clicking on "Install CS4" the machine starts to run and then just stops. No error messages or anything.

  • Installing CS4 on a new computer.

    I am trying to install CS4 onto a new imac I recently purchased. When I open the program it asks for the serial number for the CS4 product which I enter and get the green check mark. It then asks for an "Upgrade Check" this requires me to enter the product and serial number for which my version of CS4 was an upgraded version. I do not have the packaging or anything for the CS2 software this was an upgrade from, however it is still installed on my old computer. Is there anyway for me to be able to verify the serial number to install CS4 on my new computer. I have attached a screen shot of the second prompt screen. Please HELP!!

    Hi dillonpope7,
    You need to contact customer service to unlock the serial number.
    You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

  • Unable to install CS4 on a 2nd computer.

    Seeking help installing CS4 on a 2nd computer.  I have CS4 on my desktop iMac (using OSX 10.7.5) and since I recently bought a MacBook Pro (using 10.8.3), I wanted to install it on there as well.  The only problem is that the MacBook Pro does not have a CD player.  To get around that, I put the CD contents on a USB Key.  I attempted to load CS4 on the MacBook Pro using the USB Key, but right off the bat it gave me an error when I double-clicked the SETUP folder:  "SETUP ERROR - Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue.  Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance."  I tried this several times but got the same message.  I called Adobe however they were unable to help since it is an old version - they suggested I post the question here and see if someone can help.  The Adobe Rep did say that perhaps the Setup file was corrupted, but did not offer any further information beyond that. 

    Noel: 
      Thank you so incredibly much - I sincerely appreciate your help!
      I did just what you recommended and it worked perfectly!
      For anyone else reading this with the same problem, here is how I did it:
      I copied the entire Photoshop CS4 to a USB Key
      plugged that in to my MacBook Pro
      made a New Folder on the Desktop of the MacBook
      copied all the items from the USB Key to the New Folder
      dropped the New Folder into the Macintosh HD on the MacBook
      then went to the Photoshop CS4 folder on the Macintosh HD
      double-clicked on the SETUP folder, and voila - it worked!
      Once I entered the serial number, the program downloaded and the only hitches were that it did not have the latest Adobe AIR version, so I had to go   to the Adobe site and download a new version of that at www.adobe.com/go/getair
    I am so thankful - Adobe would not work with me since I had the older version of CS4, so I was faced with buying a new version of Photoshop, not being able to use it on my laptop, and possibly buying Aperture instead - none of which I really wanted to do.  So thanks again - you know your stuff and your help is greatly appreciated!  Sincerely,  Jimmy.

  • How do I install CS4 on a second computer?

    I have a student version of CS4. Before I upgrade, I'd like to install it on a second computer. But I don't have an installer file. How should I proceed?

    You can download a trial version of CS4 from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    Ensure that you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the download links will not work.
    When you launch the trial version to install it, enter your serial number when prompted to convert it to a licensed version.

  • Installed CS4, Computer died, Now what?

    I just installed CS4 Extended on my computer and this morning the hard drive died.  I need to buy a new computer (6 yrs. old ... I know, I should have retired it way sooner), but now am wondering about being able to put the CS4 software on it, since I already installed it one computer.  Can I install it a second time?

    Now that you know that hard drives die, you need to buy and USE software to make a full backup of your hard drive to DVD or USB hard drive... so you may restore everything to a new drive
    I use http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm which has a reasonable cost, creates a boot CD to run, and copies everything to the backup image for easy restore

  • How to resolve message "Installer database is corrupt" when trying to install CS4 on Win 8.1?

    I purchased a disk set of CS4 a few years back and have recently purchased a new computer. When trying to install CS4 on the new computer, I received an error message saying "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." Called "customer support" and after a VERY long time and three transfers, I was told "Too bad, we can't help you. Maybe download a new copy?" So I did. When trying to install the fresh download, I received the exact same error message: "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." This appears to be a conflict between the CS4 installer database and Win 8.1. Is this a known issue? How do I resolve it? Thanks for any assistance. ~Evey

  • How do I deactivate one computer so I can use a third computer?

    how do I deactivate one computer so I can use a third computer?

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivat ion-products.html#deactivate-problem
    When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.
    Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
    Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
    You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.

  • Can I install Media Encoder Alone on a third Computer

    My situation: I have 1 licence of Adobe Production premium CS4
    What I need/want:  I want to install the Media Encoder on another computer (to render on another computer (like a render farm) and save CPU process in my personal computer)
    Question: Can I install JUST Media Encoder on a third computer?  Without having to use the full Abobe suite licence.
    Thank

    Question: Can I install JUST Media Encoder on a third computer?  Without having to use the full Abobe suite licence.
    Nope, you can't. Especially everything that is tied to handling MPEG CoDecs and derivatives requires activation since it involves third-party licensing.

  • My computer with a licensed copy of CS4 died. I want to install it on my new computer. I cannot deactivate CS4 on my old computer, because it no longer runs, and I no longer have it.

    I want to install my licensed copy of CS4 (from the CD--Windows version) onto a new computer that I recently purchased. My OLD computer died in July.  I cannot deactivate the CS4 software on that computer. It has now been gutted (because a local tech guy was trying to fix it, but he couldn't) and I no longer even have the computer. So I would like to transfer that license to my new computer.
    I have been able to "install" the software from the CD, but it doesn't completely "work". It looked like everything was OK initially but it won't recognize certain keystrokes, etc. and is not functional, which I figure is the software's way of saying "too many installs on this license."
    So now what do I do...is there any way I can get "permission" to install this so it will work?

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
