Moving Adobe Creative suite from old computer to new?

I have a 2004 IMAC and just bought a 2011 Refurbished IMAC. Can I just copy my Adobe Creative Suite applications from my old computer to the applications folder of my new one?

Two things you need to check:
Is your old Adobe software compatible with whatever OS version you are running now (what is your OS version: 10.6.x, 10.7x, or 10.8.x??)
And, actually even more importantly: check their license agreement/requirements - are you allowed to move it > would you need a new registration key , etc.
If the answer to both questions is affirmative, then simply install it from your original install disks.

  • Moving Acrobat 11 license from old computer to new

    I have Adobe Acrobat 11, purchased in March 2013.  My computer was damaged and I had to buy a new one.  Can I transfer the license from Acrobat 11 from the old computer to the new one?

    You don't have to transfer it.  But you can deactivate it on the old machine if it is still possible so that you retain the option for a second machine activation.
    Adobe allows you to install/activate on two machines, so you can just install on the new machine as long as you have the second activation still available.

  • Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC?

    Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC? I bought it online, so the serial is on my profile.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
    If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

  • I need to unsubscribe the creative suite from my computer and put it onto my new one, how do i do this

    I need to unsubscribe the creative suite from my computer and put it onto my new one, how do i do this

    There is a bit of confusion in the way you explain what you want... more on that in a minute.  Whatever the scenario is, you are allowed to have the software installed and working on two machines, so if you like you can leave the original installation intact as a backup and just install on the new machine like you did originally.
    Back to the confusion... You say "unsubscribe" which would be associated with the Creative Cloud.  You say "creative suite" which would not be a subscription (I think they stopped CS subscriptions when the Cloud came into being).  So if you have a Cloud subscription you would sign out of it on the old machine if you no longer want it there.  Then you could uninstall if you like.  If you have a licensed Creative Suite then you would open any one of the applications in it and choose Help -> Deactivate.  Then you could uninstall if you like.

  • Moved to a new computer running windows 7. what happened to the bookmark sidebar? how do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?

    new computer, loaded Firefox 4. What happened to bookmark sidebar? How do I get it back? How do I move my bookmarks from old computer to new computer?
    old computer is offline, so if I have to make a copy of something hopefully it can be done offline.
    Don't really understand why windows 7 renders Firefox so different that XP. Will change, but really like the old feel.

  • How to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    how to transfer icloud data from old computer to new computer

    The iCloud data will be on the new computer as soon as you download the iCloud control panel and sign into iCloud with your iCloud ID. What you see in iCloud is stored in iCloud, so it really doesn't matter what computer you are on. Once that computer is signed onto iCloud and the iCloud options are selected, you have full access to all of that information, and much of it is pushed back to your computer.
    If you are referring to the data in an iCloud backup created by an iOS device, then that is not something that would be on a computer at all.
    Does that answer your question? If not, post back with more info about what you are looking to find out.

  • HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

    When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

    You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
    I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
    Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
    Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

    How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop?

    You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
    If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
    Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
    uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.
