Legal to install Adobe Design Suite on my friends PC?

Just wanted to ask if it was legal to install Adobe Design Suite on my friends PC? I have the student edition of Adobe Design Suite CS4 and im not sure how many times i am allowed to install it for myself let alone for another person. She is also a valid student and holds a student card. Obviously i didn't pay a lot of money for it to run out of licence uses so i don't want to go over my own amount if i do a reboot for instance. The Microsoft office student edition only has 3 licence uses as an example.
Any replies are already well thanked.

Look at it as a cycle point of view (activate/deactivate). Not as 20 of each.
If you do the following by seperate replacement or upgrade: Update processor, new hard drive, new motherboard, new video card and reinstall windows that is 10 cycles used up right there. Then if you have a laptop or another compter....... it adds up pretty quick.

I have difficulties following that reasoning - how many times does one install the same software on the same computer (or a replacement, if the original one fails) ?
Ok, hardware can fail, so a 2nd installation is quite reasonable. Ok, hardware can fail again, so a 3rd install still seems reasonable.
But then, are we talking about a software release one is going to use for a lifetime? Especially if it comes to student versions; most people don't stay students for the rest of their lives...

How to download and re-install Adobe Creative Suite Design & Web Premium CS6 Win

How do I download and re-install Adobe Creative Suite Design & Web Premium CS6 Win?

Downloaded from Adobe site (Download CS6 products). Downloaded both File 1 and 2 Design and Web, English version. Both files are on my desktop in the same folder. Do I just need to run the .exe (file 2) to install CS6 (just thought to ask/ maybe try that)? I have my serial number I can enter once it is downloaded.

INSTALLING Adobe creative suite 3 Design Premium JAVA ERROR

Hi people, I'am having a problem installing Adobe creative suite cs3 on my iMac, when the dmg is loaded as the first sys check , installer give an error saying : "Java Script Alert - Critical errors were found in the setup - Imcompatible payloads already installed. Please see the Setup log file for details."
I've recently installed Processing, and needed to install Java too. I think I've installed Java sun SE. (actually I'm a Mac noob lol)
So , I think that I've just to clean all the old java sys that I installed and reinstall a compatible version of Java, right??? But I don't know How to do that actually!
Can any one help me please
Thnks a lot
Bella

Hello Bellawood,
This Java script Error problem, if you installed CS3, AI, PS or ID or any application already have in system or you uninstalled it, and installing again... this Java Script Error message will come.
This guide line is for Mac OS X only not for tested on Window system.
There are 2 ways to install again CS3.
1: format your system and install CS3 or remove all adobe folder your your system and install.
2: If you already installed any CS3 application and installing any other and you are getting Java Script Error message... do this, in hard disk/library/application support/adobe/... remove caps and backup folders from there and keep in safe place and install your application... hope it will install. after installing run that application... and it will run, and if you will try to run already installed application.... it will not... because you removed that application backup and caps file from adobe folder. Keep backup and caps folder in safe place and replace backup and caps folders with earlier folder which you saved in safe place. and repeat this process.
I know this is little tricky... and complicated. Better is remove all adobe files and folders from your system and install CS3 again.
regards.

Will Adobe Design Suite CS6 work for my computer?

I'm looking into getting adobe's design and web premium CS6 suite, but wasn't sure if would be compatible with my computer. I will admit I know little to nothing about computers unless we are talking photoshop or illustrator or graphics in general, and basic functions. I know near to nothing about processing speeds, cores, memory, etc. So, to get down to it I am on a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2011, I will be upgrading to Mountain Lion before I install the design suite. Hardware overview for my comp shows as this:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro

Processor Name:          Intel Core i7

Optional: Tangent CP200 family or Tangent Wave control surface for SpeedGrade
This software will not operate without activation. Broadband Internet connection and registration are required for software activation, validation of subscriptions, and access to online services.* Phone activation is not available.
Is this enough info to know whether it is compatible? If you need more information please let me know. If it is, could you tell me if it is compatible with my computer.
Thanks.

If you have one of the new dual core G5s that will work. If you don't then that RAM will not work. It is DDR2 and the older PowerMac G5s use DDR.

Unable to install Adobe elearning suite 1.0 in windows 7 pro environment

I have spent two days trying to re-install my elearning suite 1.0 on a new computer. I have called Adobe support three times. The first time I got cut off after 25 minutes on line. The second time I got cut off after 40 minutes on line. On the third try, after over an HOUR on hold, I made it to a person and I told her my problem. She was quiet for a second or two and then I heard the dial tone. If anyone from Adobe support is lurking on this forum, shame on you.
I purchased the very expensive Adobe ELearning Suite 1.0 less than a year ago and installed in on my Windows XP Thinkpad machine. It was a painful install. I use Adobe Presenter 7 and Adobe Acrobat Pro. Thats it. Nothing else.
Unfortunately, my Thinkpad died and I have purchasaed a new Thinkpad -- a W510 Windows 7 Pro and 4 g ram. Should not be an issue.
It will not even get past the starting gate. I get an auto lang error and then conversion data file.
When I the error I see a similar error for a different product, however the error is for a language mismatch between the operationg system and adobe. This is not my problem. I have verified that both products are same language -- jeeze, English.
At this point the only option I can see if to purchase the very expensive Adobe elearning suite 2 -- but guess what? It too comes with Adobe Presenter 7. Why should I have to pay another 1000 for the same thing I already own.
Has anyone else had this issue who might be able to provide advice? At this point I am so frustrated and irritated by Adobe I could scream.
I would also be very receptive of recommendations for a replacement for Presenter --
Very kind regards,
Stephanie D

Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite 4

I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium. I enter the serial number at the back of the DVD case and that works fine, but then I reach a screen called Upgrade Check. There, I select what I had before (Macromedia 8), and enter my Upgrade key starting with DWD800-02416 ...
But it tells me that my serial number doesn't match the product...am I not supposed to enter the Macromedia key 8 license key there? What am I doing wrong? And most importantly, can you help?

There are many different upgrade packages for CS 4. It may be that you purchased the wrong upgrade package. For example, the upgrade package from CS 1 to CS 4 won't work if you purchased purchased Photoshop CS 3. The upgrade DVD from Photoshop CS 3 won't work if you had purchased the CS 3 Design Suite. Each upgrade package/dvd is specifically designed for the programs you had previously purchased.

Installing Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student Edition on Macbook Pro

I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 6 Student eddition on a new Macbook Pro. An Application called ARVATO downloades
'Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium MAC.zip'. When I try to open the file it just creates a CPGZ file.

Licenses are platform specific, so the Windows version will only work on the Mac if the Mac has Windows emulation software installed. The other option would be to trade your Windows version for a Mac version, but then you lose the use of it on the Windows machine.

CS3 freezes at Adobe Design Suite window upon loading

All of a sudden on both my macs running OSX 10.7.5, I can't load any of my CS3 programs. My computer keeps freezing on the window titled "Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3". The window below is blank and the only active button is the yellow one, not the red or green. I have tried restarting several times to no avail. Anybody know what is happening? Should I try reinstalling the entire suite on both my computers? Thanks for any assistance.

Hi KJess,
Did you install any new updates that might have caused this? When was the last time that it was working fine?
Try launching the app in Mac's safe mode and check.
Are you not able to launch any of the application from the Design standard Suite?
In case you still face issues consider removing the program and reloading it,

Runtime Error when installing Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium

I am trying to install Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium, but I keep getting a 'Runtime Error!': This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
What should I do? Any help greatly appreciated! I am running Win 7, Service Pack 1, 64 bit.

We cannot know. Your information is hugely insufficient. Check Your Windows Event Viewer and tell us the "fault module" plus provide detailed specs for your computer. Runtime errors usualyl mean that A DLL is missing, a security tool is blocking critical functions or that the processor is not compatible in teh first place. Just as well this could be a driver issue with your SATA bus or whatever.

Hi. I am running Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit Toshiba Satellite P70-A laptop with 16Gb of RAM. I have installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 - Master Collection. All is fine except for Adobe Acrobat X. It runs OK for a while, but then suddenly it won't work. I uninstall it, re-boot and re-install again, bit the same process repeats itself and once again I have to uninstall and re-install again. I don't know if windows update interferes with it? Has anyone else had a similar problem? Is it fixable?

I think you'd be much better off asking in the Acrobar forum, Acrobat

Trouble Installing Adobe Creative Suite

Hi,
Im trying to install Adobe Creative Suite from 2 disc images. It gets to the end of its install run and all the program folders appear in my applications. But when i try and double click on any of the program icons ie. Photoshop CS it doesnt start up. It kinda looks like it is starting up (bouncing icon in the menu bar) but then it just stops and nothing happens.
Ive had this before with other disc image installers.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Sorry, don't believe you. We've had all sorts here ask point blank about installing software they've downloaded. If you truly did purchase the product, then either contact Adobe to get a replacement set of disks, or talk to your insurance company about a claim for the loss.
