i am a bit confused when you say only two actevtions but then you say done go back and forth on the machiens i am not sure i understand
Well you indicated that you had 3 computers with your wife's. deactivating one of your 2 to activate on you wife's computer will use up you 20 active/deactivations fast.
i have a laptop machien and a desk top machien and i use both all the time and often at the same time what should i do ?
As stated You have 2 activations that you can use. 1 for work 1 for laptop or home. You are not supposed to use CS4 on the desktop to do one thing and at the same time do another thing on your laptop.

  • CS4 student licensing restrictions on commercial use?

    I have a question concerning using a student licensed CS4 for commercial purposes after one is out of school. I've just spent several hours researching this topic and talking to a service representative via the chat only to increase my confusion. Some posts say yes, some say no, some say no only to non-US users, some seem to say yes to education editions but no to student licensing versions (if there is a difference?), and the rep I talked to said no.
    So, to be safe, I'm asking here: can I use my Student Licensing CS4 Design Standard version to do commercial work with after I'm out of school? I bought it while in college legitimately, its the kind that you have to visit the student licensing web page on adobe.com in order to get the serial number for. However, I have seen multiple conflicting answers on the forums concerning this version. I do not know if "Student License" versions are the same as "Student Edition" versions, or "Education Edition" versions, or "Teacher Edition" versions, or if any of those last three are even actual versions.
    To be clear, the word "edition" does not appear at all on my CS4 Student Licensing package. The package cover art has a white background with a vertical line in the middle of it that is made up of red gradients.
    This question is from someone who both currently lives in, and bought the Student Licensing version of CS4 in, the United States. (2009)
    Thank you for your help!

    There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

  • Transferring CS4 Student License to a New Computer?

    I purchased a student license for CS4 Design Standard (Mac) in 2008. I recently got a new computer and want to transfer that license from my old computer to the new one (I have since graduated). Is it possible to do this, and if so, how?

    You do not need/want to transfer.  Just install it like you did originally.  If you need a download link try the following one:
    CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you would like to retain a backup installation you can keep it on the old machine.  If you would rather disable/remove it from the old machine then you should be sure to deactivate it first (open any program and choose Help -> Deactivate)

  • New hard drive: Trouble re-installing CS4 Student License.

    So, the hard drive in my Macbook died.
    I installed a new hard drive and tried unsuccessfully to restore from Time Machine backup several times before giving up and installing a fresh OS Mavericks.
    I still have the original discs, however, the optical drive on this machine quit long ago. So far I've been successful dragging applications over from the backup on my external drive, but when I go to open my Adobe software I am getting error messages: InDesign says something about missing Roman.txt, Photoshop says I need to restart, etc.
    I'm fairly certain this is linked to serial numbers and the limited student license, but not sure how to fix it.
    HALP!
    Thanks.

    uninstall (if you can), or delete (if you can't uninstall) everything adobe that you 'dragged', clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and properly install adobe programs with the adobe installers.

  • CS5 update date issue with CS4 Student Licensing version

    Before downloading the Flash Pro CS5 update, from Adobe's web-site, I called Adobe and asked this question, " Will the Flash Pro CS5 upgrade work with my Student Licensing version?"  The answer I received (after being put on hold), was "Yes, the CS5 upgrade will work with my version of CS4."
    However...after paying for and downloading the Flash Pro CS5, I am finding that it is not working. The serial number asked for, from my version of CS4, comes up as being not valid.
    Any suggestions as to resolving this issue would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

  • No auto run on CS4 student licensing

    I just purchased CS4 Design Standard to install on an HP laptop running Vista 64, sp1. I purchased it this summer, so it is fairly new. When I tried to install from the first disc in the case entitled, "Application 2," I get the following error message:
    E:\
    Application not found
    There are no auto run or setup.exe for CS4 on the disc.
    The other disc, "Content," does not have anything to install - just pdf files and such - no programs.
    I have sent an email outlining the problem and looked through the forums, but didn't see this specific issue.
    Any ideas?

    There were earlier reports of academic packages missing a DVD. The only
    thing I can suggest is calling Adobe.

  • CS4 student licensing question

    I'm a graphic design student graduating next year. If I install it to my laptop this year, will it still continue working for me after I graduate?
    Also, I think my laptop has something wrong with it, so I might get a new one. If I install the creative suite onto this laptop, will I be able to uninstall it and then reinstall into a new computer?
    Thanks.

    I wasn't aware of a difference in Academic versions and Student versions.
    I just purchased what was billed as an Academic version but the box says Student Edition.
    My wife is enrolled in college and thus the purchase. Is it just major upgrades (ie..CS5) that student editions are not eligible for or even incremental?
    Doesn't seem right that incremental updates, which 9/10 are actually fixes for system errors, efficiency and such that theoretically should have been tested for before going to market would not be available but the free-market has change considerably in the last few years.

  • Combo updater for multiple installation of CS4 Mac

    Is there a way to download a consolidated version of the cs4 updates once and install on all 13 machines instead of having each machine download the updates using the adobe updater? The Adobe updater method is slow and inefficient and ties up my internet connection.
    Your help is appreciated.
    Mike

    Each application has its own schedule of updates. There isn't such a thing as a "consolidated version of cs4 updates."
    You can go to www.adobe.com and download updates manually which you could store on a server, and install from there to each workstation.

  • Photoshop CS4 Mac Student License...

    Hey guys!
    Dan here..
    I have a quick question about student licensing,
    I plan in the new year to purchase Adobe Production Premium for mac on a student license,
    But I also would like to install Photoshop onto another macbook as well as my main computer,
    Under the terms of student licensing adobe say that you cannot be issued more than one serial for each product on a student license,
    And Production Premium contains Photoshop CS4,
    Would it be possible to order Production Premium and a seperate copy of Photoshop CS4 on a student license as i believe Production premium has only one license key as apposed to seperate keys for the seperate componants,
    Any help would be awesome!
    Thankyou!
    Dan

    That's nice though a bit of an hassle, if you ask me. Activating and deactivating all the time might be time consuming.
    As for the upgrading to full version, I'll be back to you on that in two weeks. I'll have completed my degree. In my understanding, my student license gives me the "two comupters not running at the same time" priviledge. Would be nice to have a third activation upgrade. Just in case.
    Oh! and if you're wondering I think that the activation software looks at the computer's IP adress for activation. Had a problem with my hard drive and had to reinstall everything (even the OS) on a back-up drive. I reactivated Photoshop and asked an Adobe representative to see if I had used up all my activations. Nope, had used only one. So I guess you can install as many times you want on the same computer as long as it doesn't change location.

  • Photoshop CS6 installation with student licensing and moving to Windows 64 bit?

    I purchased PS CS6 with student licensing. I was told that I can do two installations (or activations). My question is this: I am currently running Windows 7 32 bit, but I plan to reinstall Windows 7 64 bit later in order to increase my RAM. If I install CS6 now with 32 bit, is it considered a second activation if I reinstall it later under 64 bit, even if it is on the same machine? 
    Thanks for any information.

    You can install the PS CS6 on Windows 7 32 bit and use it , once you have to re-install the Windows 7 64 bit ,
    Open Photoshop , Go to Help --> Deactivate
    This will deactivate your existing actiavtion and then you can re-install PS on Windows 7 64 Bit , without loosing the activation count.

  • Does the Student License Allow for Two Installs?

    Does the Student License Allow for Two Installs?
    I have a desktop iMac and a Macbook notebook. I just purchased Adobe Web Standard CS3 (student license).
    Can I install and activate the package on both of my computers? I know I could do this with a regular license, but I was unsure about the student license.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Student License CS4 upgrade to Student License CS6?

    Is it possible to upgrade student versions to a newer student version? Or is it only possible to upgrade to commercial from student license?

    Upgrade to CS Production Premium 5.5 before the special offer ends (May 5?) then you get a free upgrade to Production Premium CS6.  I don't know what the price will be in GBP because it is always a hassle trying to look at other country sites.  Adobe and other companies tend to re-direct you to the country site they think you should be on, and I find this extremely annoying...  It should be cheaper than upgrading from CS4 to CS6 directly.

  • Upgrading a retail CS3 using a student licensed CS4 upgrade?

    Hello,
    I would like to know if I can upgrade my existing RETAIL CS3.3 Design Premium using a STUDENT licensed CS4 Design Premium upgrade?

    nelson,
    And unless you meet the criteria for a student or academic version, you can't legally purchase, install and use it.

  • InDesign CS4 Volume Licensing Installer Download Link

    Hello Folks,
    I'm trying to find the link to download my old InDesign 6.0 (CS4) as I lost the original CD, but there is no Link available on the volume licensing site.
    Does anybody know where I could find this?
    Thanks!

    @Peter Spier: Thanks, the Installer from that link you suggested worked. I thought I had tried that one previously for InDesign but it was for another adobe product (sorry for the confusion).
    I spoke to Adobe representative(s) before I posted on the forum, one suggested going to Other downloads and download the Installer and when I tried it my serial # didn't work, I called them back and another one said I should find the right Installer on my Volume Licensing site, and of course there was no link to download InDesign CS4...
    Anyway, it worked and that's what matters, I really appreciate your help.
