Installing CS5 on more than two Mac's

I purchased CS5 as a student and installed it on both my Apple desk top and lap top computers. I recently got married and my wife and I are taking a digital photography class through a local adult education program. I would like to install the same copy of CS5 on her apple lap top so we can each work with digital images in Photoshop. Is there a way to install this copy of CS5 on her computer without removing it from my two computers?

As per the End User License Agreement, you are NOT allowed to install / activate the software on more than 2 computers.
If you want to activate on the 3rd computer, you need to deacticate the license from one of them and then activate it on the 3rd one.
You can go to the 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate' to deactivate the software from the computer.

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac

How do I install Lion on more than one Mac? As I have a MacBook Pro and a iMac?

Purchase Lion on one of the machines.
Log in to the MAS with the other machine, using the same Apple ID you originally bought Lion with. Go to the Purchased Tab and Lion should be available for download. It should say Install.
It's possible that you will be asked for credit information as a form of verifying who you are.

Can I run more than two Mac OS X virtual guests on a Mac host?

The way I read the Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite license (http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX1010.pdf), I am not allowed to run more than two (2) virtualized Yosemite guests on a Mac virtual host:
(iii) to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software
within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is
already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during
software development; (c) using OS X Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.
There's no exception for running guests on a large Mac Pro, or anything like that.
I just want to confirm I'm interpreting this part of the license correctly? Thanks for any feedback!

Don't think that this will work, despite PSE 8 not being that old. Undoubtedly some of the security and file system changes in OSX 10.7 and 10.8 are at play here thast the installer can't cope with... Consider getting PSE 11.

Can you install Studio on more than 1 Mac?

I have just bought a new Macbook to replace my old one and I installed my Studio with FCP 7.03 onto it successfully. However I nearly had a heart attack, when I opened FCP on my old machine and it said "WE HAVE DETECTED AN IDENTICAL SERIAL NUMBER ON YOUR NETWORK!!!!!" and it wouldn't let me continue. Is my old Mac with all its programmes about to be zapped from on high??

Your license with FCP allows installation on 1 desktop and 1 laptop providing:
1. Both machines are owned by you
2. You do not run the application on both machines at the same time.
If you need to run multiple copies of FCP, purchase enough licenses.

Install problems - says more than two machines

Hi
I have just loaded Design Premium and am being told it already exists on two other machines. I have fully uninstalled it from one machine here, leaving one other possible machine that may be using the software (my machine at Home). however, it appears no other machine uses the software...is there a way of identifying the machines on to which Adobe are referring?
Thanks in advance Paul*

You said "I have fully uninstalled it from one machine here"
so did you deactivated the software before uninstalling if no then that the issue , as you haven't deactivated it the database of Adobe hasn't been updated.
Contact Adobe support they wil reset the activation count:- this link hepl to contact the suport :- http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

Please, the battery of my mac air does not last more than two hours, it's been over 30 days I sent for technical assistance and nothing! I am very disappointed with the mac air, I had a very different expectation of apples products!!

Maybe the problem is not your MB Air......
Try these:
Make sure bluetooth is turned off if you're not using it.
Set your screen brightness to 4 bars.
See what's loading in your login items. Delete the ones you don't need.
Open Activity Monitor - under All Processes see what's using most of your CPU's resources.
Highlight the ones with the highest %CPU and hit quit process.
Remember that when Apple says that your battery should last 7 hours, they tested it just browsing the web and not have anything open in the background and screen is set at 50% brightness.

Power Mac G5, more than two internal HD

Can the Power Mac G5 support more than two internal hard drives?
If no, what are recommended solutions for inexpensive external storage? I work with standard definition video so I'm thinking FW800 would be ok. Thoughts?
Thanks,

Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It sure can.

Quite a good system, speeds up to 500 Mb/s
you need to buy a PCI card as well.

I think Maxtor amkes decent enclosures. Mine is very reliable
Just do some research on what you find, compare prices and transfer speeds.
work out prices with taxes and shipping
and compare the transfer speeds in the $$ range you are looking at.
let us know what you decide on
Good Luck

Installing CS6 on more than one PC

I own Photoshop CS6 which is on my desktop and would like to install it on a new laptop I just purchased. Can you install CS6 on more than one PC? I need it on both my desktop and laptop.

Yes, as long as they are both of the same platform type (PC versus Mac) you are allowed to have two activated installations.

Adobe thinks I have more than two computers

I recently purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium. I only have two Windows computers. One is running 64 bit Vista Ultimate and the other one (a laptop) is running Vista Home Edition. I installed the Adobe suite on both machines without issue. I took my laptop over to Peet's to use it and now when I come home to use it on the other computer, I get a big message box saying:
Excuse the interruption, but:
Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Creative Suite 4 Production Premium on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed.
You have 30 days from today to correct this problem.
I called in to the support number and they are showing that it has been activated on 6 different computers now.
The only thing I can think of is that someone at Peet's was able to steal my serial number through some hacker magic maybe eavesdropping over the wireless somehow?
Please help! Is this a known issue or something?
This software was way too expensive to have this happen. I am not a pirate, I didn't give the number to anyone. I didn't expose the serial number anywhere knowingly or accidentally.
Please help.
One thing I did notice is that the Adobe updater failed to complete it's activities on my 64 bit machine. Sometimes the 64 bit machine has trouble because there are not enough drivers written for it. Maybe it's something like that? Please help.

Sorry to hear about your problem.
A few observations and questions.
(1) The Adobe Creative Suite requires Vista Home Premium as a minimum configuration. Hopefully your notebook system is
not running Vista Home Basic. The fact that it installed would indicate that you are probably running Vista Home Premium.
(2) Exactly where and how did you purchase the CS4 Production Premium? Was it in a sealed box from Adobe or a authorized dealer or was it from eBay or some Warez site?
(3) The fact that it activated on more than two systems is indicative of at least four of the six systems attempted activation using some type of hacked version of the software.
(4) Adobe's communication between your system and Adobe for activation is secure, but obviously, someone may have hacked your system to record keystrokes or otherwise capture data from your system.
Assuming that you indeed made your purchase via a reputable source (i.e., either directly from Adobe or from an authorized dealer) and that you have a receipt for your purchase, I would recommend that you contact Adobe Customer Support, explain the situation and your suspicions and offer to send them a copy of your receipt or a fax of same. They should be able to fix the situation via supplying you with a new serial number and let you enter that number on both your installations and let them reactivate with the new serial number. Make sure you get the names of any persons you speak with at Adobe Customer Support and if you encounter any problems ask to speak with a supervisor. (If you still can't get anywhere with those folks, contact me offline via e-mail and I'll see what I can do to assist.)
In the meantime, I would most strongly recommend that you thoroughly scan your system for viruses, trojans, keyloggers, etc. with updated virus scan definitions and with any one of a number of programs such as "SpyBot" (a free spyware scanner) that can search and destroy any problematic crud that may be infecting your system. You should also make sure you have effective firewall software if you frequent public WiFi locations.

Application Manager issues and repeated error messages on use of more than two licenses

HI,
MY first post and my adobe Mnaager won't update as it keep saying:
"Adobe Genuine Software Validation Failure. The Product you are trying to install is not an adobe genuine software and appears counterfeit"
This is a load of rubbish as I have installed everything onto my Laptop and Desktop direct from Adobe. ITs been working fine after an horrifc installation experince when I first signed up when its was clearly launched too early.
I also keep getting flashes of warning saying that I have more than two instances installed which again is a load of rubbish as I only own two machines. Is there anyway of checking and making sure which PC's are signed up incase its been hacked?
Hoping theres some solutions other than going through Adobes Phone lines which never get answered and spent 4 hours trying last Friday to get through with no luck.
PLEASE do not suggest a re-installation and clean install as I have done this four times aleady since joining the cloud and is not acceptable as trying to run a buisness.

Follow the steps in the link below as it may help :-

Using CS5 on more than 2 PCs?

I use CS5 regularly on my desktop and notebook PCs. For a few weeks in the year I use a different PC. It would be really handy if I could use CS5 on this as well. As far as I can see I could deactivate temporarily on my main PC, but I'd probably forget. What other options are there?

Adobe Creative Suite came normally with a single license that could be activated on two computers used by a single individual, such as a work desktop computer and either a notebook computer or a home computer.
If you need to use the software on more than two systems, you can play the deactivate/activate game as much as you want.
At the time that CS5 was current, the only way to have more flexibility was with various group/enterprise licenses which would have been overkill at the time.
At this point, no new licenses are being sold for any version of this software less than CS6.
