Installing second copy issue: Mac

I am trying to install a second copy of Photoshop CS6 on my new Mac. The first copy is also on a Mac and was a CS6 migration from Windows. Hence I have no earlier version on either machine. On the new Mac, when I enter the serial number, I am faced with the error window: Serial Number Upgrade, "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer". The drop down 'qualifying product' selection does not include CS6 (presumably because the download is an upgrade). Following Adobe instructions for second installations, I downloaded the product from http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html. Is there another page for full product downloads? Or how am I supposed to proceed?

It appears to be indicating that you are in possession of an upgrade version.  The drop down is seeking your selection of the version you owned prior to CS6 from which it was an upgrade.  Did you own a previous version?  If so, you need to provide its serial number to prove eligibility for the upgrade installation.

  • Installing Second Copy of Lion on VM

    I just purchased a Mac mini with Lion installed and I can't seem to simply download a second copy from the App Store.  I'd like to take advantage of the new OS license terms and install a second copy of Lion in a VM to serve as a test bed for my software development work.  Does anybody know how I can get a free second copy of Lion to install on my VM?

  • Install one copy on Mac Desktop and another on Windows laptop?

    The Lightroom 3 license is multi-platform (i.e. Windows & Mac) and permits the installation both a desktop and a laptop.
    Can I install one copy on my iMac desktop and the other on my Windows laptop?
    I've hit the problem already that this is not on CS4 (much to my annoyance) but it appears Lightroom may be different - can anyone confirm?
    Thanks
    Scott

    Yes you are correct the license is multi platform and can be on two computers. Only one in use at any point in time.
    The catalogs created on one is compatable on the other platform.
    There is no activate / deactivate function like Photoshop.

  • Install second optical drive mac pro

    Although there are several support documents available from Apple on how to replace the hard drive and replace the optical drive in a Mac Pro, I could not locate a pdf on how to install a second optical drive. In this case, I wanted to add a Blu-Ray recorder to my mid-2010 Mac Pro. I found what I was looking for on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHjuKL2BS4Y This is a video by the reputable OWC (One World Computing) and its very easy to follow.

  • How to install second copy (different serial #) on desktop

    I have aperture 2 with same serial number installed on both my laptop and desktop on our network. Only one copy can be worked on at the same time so I bought a new copy so my husband and I can work on images at the same time. How do I install a new copy with a different serial number on the desktop and have the images on the old copy transferred onto the new copy? Will the new copy delete the old or will I now have 2 apertures on the desktop? I don't want to lose any of the images and only want the new copy with a different serial number on the desktop.
    thanks

    You've got a couple options and I ran into a similar issue when installing and running a demo for Aperture 2 while not wanting to replacing my purchased copy of 1.5 until I purchase version 2.
    Firstly, why don't you just install one version to each computer? You can have multiple Aperture Libraries on a single computer if you really want to keep your photos completely separate from your husbands but then you can just have separate project folders within the same libraries. You can add metadata to your images when you import them so attaching your name to the images at that time will maintain who shot what. This way makes updating the software much easier and hassle free. Which is not the case when running two copies of the same program on the same hardware.
    Another option if you must install more than one copy of Aperture to each computer is to rename the currently installed version of Aperture and then install the new one. This gives you two copies of the same program but you'll run into problems when the next update is released. The renamed version will not be recognized by Software Update because it'll be looking for the version simply called, "Aperture" in the applications library. There is a fairly simple workaround for this though.
    Instead of renaming the original install, move it into a new location or subfolder in the Applications folder. Then install the new copy and when an update is released it will be taken care of for the copy installed directly in the Applications folder. Once that update is complete, switch the two so that the other copy is now in the Applications folder and the updated one is in the sub-folder. Run Software Update again and it should run the update to the other copy without a problem.
    I would recommend installing just one copy to each computer with the separate serials and just setup your own libraries onto each computer. Through a network you can share libraries between the two systems and you wont run into any problems with running the software or updating it.
    I hope this helps you out with your problem.

  • Installing second copy of iTunes

    I bought my wife a Nano a while back and all is well. we have upgraded to iTunes 6.
    I now have a Nano but we have massively different music tastes. Wading through the library everytime we both want different music is a real pain!
    Is there a away of creating a second seperate library?
    Do I have to instal iTunes again for me?
    I have tried to instal again but it wont let me as the installer notes the current copy on my harddrive.
    Any suggestions

  • How to erase and install new version os Mac Os X?

    Can someone tell me how to erase and install new copy of Mac OS X 10.5.8 ?? IS there a way to do this without CD?? I no longer have the disks and I cant find a way to get this done.. The reason I want to do this is because a 12 year old was using this computer for a long time and there is a lot of junk stuff on the disk, so I want to start from fresh.
    Thank you in advance.
    Yani.

    Hi Yani,
    Your out of luck without an Install Disc, & on dangerous ground also.
    2 ways to go...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • Hello, I have a G5 PPC. I want to install a copy of Entourage on the second hard drive. Can I do that or will it create problems for the processor?

    Hi everyone
    I had a very old intel iMac from late 2006 which was dying now dead. I just managed to copy the Entourage folder onto an external hard drive before the iMac gave up the ghost. But I could not open the Entourage copy on the G5 PPC. each time i tried to do so the PPC copy of Entourage would open instead.I have emails on the PPC copy and do not want to lose them. I was wondering if it would be possible to install another copy of Entourage on the second hard drive? I was hoping that by doing that I could access the information from the iMac which has been copied to an external hard drive.
    Any help would be very very welcome.

    I don't think MS lets you install Entourage outside of an active system folder. However, you can install a fresh copy of Entourage on the G5's hard drive (if you have Office 2008 or lower), then use Entrouge's Import command to move the data files from the old hard drive.
    We're done this several times as we've upgraded either computers or Entourage.
    However, I think that, before you act, you should also ask in Microsoft's user forums here:

    They are excellent and often an employee of their Macintosh unit will assist in answering.

  • Running a PC via my Mac. Would I need a second copy of Word?

    Hello!
    So I am needing to get Windows running on my Mac for a specific PC only App called Nvivo.
    I am looking into the Fusion vs Parallel issue which both have their advantages and disadvantages. However, I need to know if I need a second copy of Word (ie a PC version) to read the information from my Mac word files then to be read by Nvivo on the PC side (for the cross-platform pollination to work)?
    Does Parallels of Fusion have a feature that makes it so only one copy of word is required? (Sounds like wishful thinking I know!)
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    all Word versions are Operating System - dependent.
    An OSX Word won't work when running WIndows and vice versa.
    But maybe the free OpenOffice will suffice for your needs in Windows.
    Regards
    Stefan
