Installing CS6 from university license: serial problems

Hi, my name is Jeroen, and my university has license agreements with Adobe for downloading CS6 Web Premium as a student. The setup files are provided on the university network, as well as a serial. However, due to where I live, I can't reach the network from the university very easily (you'll need to be connected to it locally, so it means I need to travel to the university). So instead, I downloaded the installer files from the Adobe website.
I do have the serial from the university, but once I copy/paste it in the setup dialog, it states that the serial is invalid (I tried it a couple of times, so I am sure it there is no typo). So I have a question regarding the installer files. Is there a chance that the installer files from the university are different from the ones on the website? I recon that the license that the university has is a volume license, as many students will be able to download this Creative Suite. I'm on Windows 7, 64 Bit.
If there is a chance that the installer from the Adobe website differs from the installer that the university provides, is there a workaround or should I download it from the university network anyway?
Thanks in advance!
Jeroen Rood

Hi Jeroen,
The installers should be the same unless the University has customized it.
But the serial number should work even if you download it from our website.
Please drop in a private message to me the serial number and I will validate it for you.
Regards,
Rave

Trouble installing CS6 from disc

Hi,
I'm trying to install CS6 from disc onto my Windows Vista 64 bit laptop. There doesn't seem to be a Setup.exe file? Has anyone experience this problem and have a solution?
I've tried downloading CS6 from Adobe and enter my serial number from my box. I get a message stating my serial number is invalid. Why is that?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.

According to the Adobe website, CS6 products do not support Vista
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-system-requirements.html#CS6_Design_ Standard_system_requirements
Win XP or 7 (or 8) only.
To run CS6, you'll have to upgrade your operating system or your computer.

Do I need to unistall CS5 prior to installing CS6 from disk. Thanks

Any Adobe Desktop applications don't overwrite the older version while installation. They install in seperate folders. You can Install and use CS5 and CS6 on the same computer, even simultaneously.

CS6 MC Perpetual License activation problem after App. Mngr updated to Adobe CC

Hi.
I'm using perpetual license of CS6 Master Collection on windows 8 64 bit .
This morning the Adobe Application Manager did update itself to Adobe Creative Cloud (probably this is unrelated to the problem).
No CC application installed; and never installed application from CC.
After that opening Adobe Acrobat X Pro a dialog box appears about Trial Expiration that says:
"Your trial will expire in 130 days".
mmmm
So i press "license" button, then "signin" or "login" button and it says "Thank You, Creative Cloud will now be licensed to myemail....".
What? I'm using CS6 Master Collection with perpetual license; what does it mean?
Anyway; after that opening Acrobat X Pro another dialog box appears:
Master Collection Trial
Your trial will expire in 7 days.
Note that i open Photoshop, click on Help, Deactivate.... menu is enabled meaning that CS6 Perpetual License are working (i suppose).
Ok, i know that sometimes Acrobat Pro revert to trial and Deactivate / Reactivate normally work.
So, proceed to deactivate and reactivate CS6 MC.
Nothing to do, trial dialog box appears using Acrobat X Pro.
CC CS confusion?

Can't install Illustrator from Creative Suite (serial number not recognized)

Years ago, I bought the first Creative Suite (upgrade). Illustrator was working fine on my old computer. Since then, I've upgraded Photoshop and Dreamweaver individually (I didn't upgrade Creative Suite).
Now I need to install Illustrator on my new computer, but the installation fails:
(1) I tried to install Illustrator separately (from the Illustrator setup.exe file on the disks) and I input the only serial number I have (which is for Creative Suite) and get a "this isn't an Illustrator serial number".
(2) I tried to install Creative Suite but it prompts me for the location of Photoshop ... an OLDER version of Photoshop. I've got Photoshop CS5, but the installation correctly says that isn't an earlier version.
I believe I purchased my first Photoshop in 1997-ish. Do I really have to start from the beginning and install EVERY VERSION of Photoshop that I ever bought/upgraded in order to install Illustrator from the CS upgrade disk?
I tried looking for an Adobe phone number, but no joy.

> Which versions of which software do you have exactly?
Have, or installed?
I have Photoshop LE, Photoshop 4.1 (I think it was -- the first version with layers), Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6, Creative Suite, Photoshop CS2, and Photoshop CS5.
After I purchased Creative Suite, I just wanted to upgrade the individual programs rather than the whole Creative Suite. However, I believe I purchased upgrades all along the way.
For Dreamweaver (though not the issue here), I started with the Macromedia programs, so the upgrade line started 'way back at Macromedia (and the installation of Adobe DW upgrades requires live tech support; unfortunately, as I can no longer find a phone number for Adobe, I guess I'd better hope nothing ever happens).
Anyway, does that help? You can see why I don't want to reinstall all those versions just to install Illustrator.
(And thanks for your help.)

Can I install CS6 from Creative cloud and still have my existing CS5 software?

Basically, here is the deal. I have been working on a couple projects in CS5 but just bought CS6 creative cloud as I want to start using it. The question I have is, can I still use CS5 to finish up these projects and install CS6 at the same time so I can start working on new ones in CS6? Or do I need to wait and install CS6 once I am completely done with the projects that are using CS5. I understand that CS6 would be able to open my CS5 projects, but I just want to finish in CS5 since that is what I am used to.
Also, on a side note. With the cloud, will I be able to install CS6 on my desktop at home and my laptop? Thanks.

Yes.
CS6 installs into a separate directory to CS5 and can still be used at any time after CS6 is installed.

Yes, each Adobe license permits a maximum of two activations. So you can install on two separate computers.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
"Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time. See the product license agreements page for more information."

Install CS6 from Clean OS?

Should CS6 from Creative Cloud be installed on a fresh Mac OS? I know 5 and 5.5 worked better this way. I have just got the subscription and was wondering. Also will Snow Lepoard or Lion run better with this program. I am a professional user and am finding Lion very slow. I have a Mac Pro 4+TB HD w/ 24G Ram
Thanks
Sara

You should be able to install CS6 on a system with CS5 or CS5.5 installed without issue, but a fresh system is usually easier.
A newer operating system such as Lion should run 'better' since it is newer, but Snow Leopard is supported for CS6.
As to Lion being slow on your system I would contact Apple customer support for help. If a particular Adobe program is having an issue on Lion let us know.

Cannot install CS6 from MSI made with AAMEE

I need to install CS6 Design Standard on 12 Windows 8.1 workstations. I created an msi installer created with the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition. It seemed very straightforward. However when I double-click the msi to install the product, it will start to install and then the progress bar goes back to the beginning and closes. I have tried recreating the installer, run it as Administrator, moved it to a local drive instead of a network share, and tried to run it on different workstations. A quick Google search indicated many people are having this issue but no solutions were posted. Can anyone help? Thanks

Installing CS6 from PC onto OSx

My serial number comes up invalid when installing Photoshop CS6 on my newMacbook that was previously running on Windows 7. I'massuming I don't need to buy an entire new key just for the platform change.

Actually, prior to the Photoshop CC subscription program, you could not use the same license on both PC and Mac.
If you were going to switch more or less permanently, you could get a transfer fromAdobe. I believe that's still possible with Photoshop CS6.

Installing CS6 from Disk

I have a SERIOUS problem.
I am running a legal copy of Photoshop CS6 (was) on MacBookPro
I tried installing the update (13.0.6) and got the U44M1P7 error. Following instructions from Adobe I uninstalled my Photoshop, with the intention of reinstalling.
However, when I tried to reinstall from the regional disk, there is now an error on the disk itself. Instead of running it keeps on ejecting the disk.
This makes me believe there is a problem with the disk - where can I obtain another disk?
Or alternatively, where can I download a CS6 version without having to download the trial version of PS Cloud version?

Can i install CS6 GOV volume license key on 2 computers?

I have 2 users that need to use CS6.
We are entitled to Government Volume Licensing product (adobe part# 65163297AF01A00)
My understanding is that 1 license can be installed on up to 2 computers. (for example, 1 laptop and 1 desktop)
Can i install it on 2 desktops instead? (instead of 1 laptop and 1 desktop) BUT they would be used by 2 different persons, however they would only use 1 copy at a time.
Am i legal to do this ?

Hi PowerSurge! ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can use the same license on another computer with the same platform , it can be two desktops/laptops as well.
1. Sign in with your Adobe ID and password :https://licensing.adobe.com/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMw==)/bc/bsp/sap/zavllogin/login.htm
2. Choose Licenses > Downloads.
Please reply for any assistance.
