Legal Question - Photoshop in rented computer?

Dear all,
I have a legal question concerning photoshop: I work in a photo equipment rental company, and one of our services is a digital assistance (for capturing/developing images taken with digital cameras). Normally no computer goes out without an operator (assistant), but we are considering renting the computers themselves for photographers who want to capture/develop their own images.
My question is this: would I need a special licence for the above scenario?
Thanks for any advice, cheers.

Although like any other product why couldn't you rent it?

  • Legality questions about Home Sharing

    I have some legality questions about Apple's Home Sharing technology.
    As I understand it, you can share (that is, copy it from one computer to another) your music, movies, applications and other iTunes-managed files amongst five computers. The only 'trick' is that each computer must have an iTunes Store account and must be logged in in order for it to work.
    My question concerns the copying aspect and the legality of it. For content that was purchased through the iTunes Store I can see how Home Sharing can provide a limitation on content sharing, since all of the machines would need to be connected to Apple's servers in order for the validation process to happen. But what about content that was added to iTunes through other means, e.g., ripping my own CDs or converting my DVDs? These items can still be copied via Home Sharing and as there's no DRM on them there's no way they can be protected against "illegal" or "unauthorized" use.
    It was my understanding that if I gave a copy of a song to someone else, that's illegal. Apple's Home Sharing technology seems to facilitate this action. If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy? Can I be held liable for distribution of content?
    And how far does this extend? If I live in a house with four unrelated people, are they legally (?) allowed to copy music and media amongst each another? Is there a perceived or actual difference between using Home Sharing to copy a movie versus, say, using a USB flash drive? And what if one of them moves out? Am I legally obligated to go through that person's hard drive and remove content that they copied from me before they leave the building?
    Does Home Sharing somehow retroactively change the copyright application on a given CD or DVD? Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies. Can these warnings now be ignored, or at least amended with "...unless you're using iTunes Home Sharing" at the ends of them?
    I am not trying to stir up a hornet's nest here. I'm only trying to better understand the legal issues surrounding Home Sharing and particularly how they relate to unprotected content. It seems very contradictory that the RIAA and MPAA would be fighting so hard against peer-to-peer services like BitTorrent and Gnutella while apparently allowing peer-to-peer services through iTunes Home Sharing.
    Furthermore, I also understand that the intention of this system was to allow families who are living together to have common access to all of the "household" music, but my issues aren't about this. I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
    Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If I rip a CD or DVD into iTunes and someone copies it out, isn't that making an illegal copy?
    RIPping of commercial, encrypted DVDs (most of them) is illegal to begin with. Or rather, breaking the encryption on a DVD is illegal and in order to RIP the DVD, you must break the encryption. SO you have already "broken the law" by having a copy on your computer.
    Most of my CDs and DVDs contain notices and warnings against distributing copies.
    Most of your DVDs have a notice about even simply making a copy, not only distributing copies.
    Much of your post has been cussed and discussed by many, many people (lawyers, corporations, organizations, individuals, etc.) and no one has come (or likely ever will come) to a complete agreement.
    Generally, "sharing" in the same house hold amongst family members seems to be okay. Outside the same household/family is almost always not okay.
    I envision, for example, a college dorm building where there's several hundred people living together on the same network subnet, and all of them have Home Sharing enabled and everyone is copying thousands and thousands of songs to/from one another. Is this now legal?
    No.
    This is exactly what Napster was and why they were sued & shut down.
    I imagine Apple lawyers have done their homework as well as consulted with the labels to discuss these exact issues.
    And it's called "Home Sharing" to indicate that it is not "Dorm Sharing" or "Workplace Sharing", or even simply "Library Sharing"etc. even though it may be possible to use it in other places than the Home.
    Users on other computers need to know your iTunes ID and password to enable it Home Sharing. Likely this is how Apple got the lables to be okay with it.
    Are you gonna give (and get) dozens/hundreds/thousands/any other users your iTunesID & password?

  • 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC

    I'm new to all of this CC business.  Can anyone tell me why there are 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC. Thanks,

    They are different versions and provided to offer a maximum level of compatibility in case anyone uses plug-ins or peripherals that may not be compatible with the latest 2014 version. Feel free to remove unneeded/ unwanted stuff if you don't fall into that category. Otherwise just leave everything in place - uninstalling and potential reinstalls could make more of a mess than freeing up a gigabyte on your harddrive may be worth...

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • Deleting Photoshop from my computer

    I wanted to delete Photoshop from my computer, but mistakenly I've put it in the trash. now there I can't get rid of it.
    Can anyone help?

    It is not clear why you said you mistakenly put it in the Trash. How else would you delete it?
    If the Empty Trash does not get rid of it, it may be running and gives the message the file could not be deleted because it is in use. If it is not in use, it may be locked. To delete a locked file, hold down the option key while selecting Empty Trash from the Finder Menu.
    If you are deleting Photoshop to get more disk space (I can’t think of another reason why you would delete the application) you may want to remove all the other files Photoshop installed on your disk in addition to the application itself.
    I’ve seen on this forum that experienced users have recommended AppDelete and AppZapper to remove an application and all its related files. You could also search VersionTracker.com to find other potential applications for removing programs you have installed. VersionTracker includes comments from users who have tried the applications and how well they worked (or didn’t).

  • Trying to reinstall photoshop cs5 after computer crash

    i need to reinstall photoshop after a computer crash.  i inserted the cd, accepted the conditions, but am unable to enter the product code.  Can enter numbers, but not letters.  I am assuming this is because this is a student/teacher edition.  What do I need to do in order to reinstall Photoshop?
    Thank you,

    It sounds as if you are trying to enter your product code and not your serial number.  If your software is registered then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for information on how to locate your serial number.
    If you have not registered your software then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4635085#4635085 which discusses how to obtain your serial number from your product code.

  • How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

    How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?  Seriously frustrated.  I put the disc in the drive and nothing happens.  I open up add/remove programs and I get an error message stating it can't find a disc.  I chatted with Adobe support, and they decided to send me here. Probably because they knew I wanted to spend all day online trying to figure this out. 

    Download from Adobe's website, install then enter your serial number.

    Hmmm, their info may be out of date, but their site said SSL should be OFF & Port 110.
    Some notes on mail...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    You may have multiple entries.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
    The receiving email ports are:
    IMAP is port 143
    IMAP-SSL is port 993
    POP is port 110
    POP-SSL is port 995
    Outgoing ports are...
    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
