Possible to install Creative Cloud on 2 computers, with multiple OS's/Dual Boot

I'm trying to find a solution to this issue; I just faced a similar problem when activating Windows 8 via Virtual Machine on my iMac and from the actual Bootcamp partition itself.
I have Creative Cloud installed on my Retina MacBook Pro and iMac. I have an installation of Windows 8 on a Bootcamp partition on my iMac that I use for testing code and would like to install Creative Cloud on this partitation as well. I understand installation is possible, but activation is another issue. So far, the only recommendation I've seen is to deactivate the license on one computer when logging into the Bootcamp partition. This doesn't seem like an elegant solution to me, and, honestly, it's fairly inconvenient and messy.
Is there a solution in the pipeline for this use case? I know I'm not the only designer/developer using a Windows installation to test code from time to time. It would be convenient to be able to access my CC applications while I am logged into Windows, as this doesn't actually break the 2 computer license limitation.

Set up a totally separate install on each LPAR. It also means you can patch one while the other is running.

  • Installing Creative Cloud applications from shared windows folder.

    Hello.
    I got new laptop for work use and I am installing creative cloud on it. However laptop ain't that fast and I am wondering that would it be possible to install creative cloud applications from shared windows folder, since I have downloaded and installed all creative cloud applications on my desktop machine already and laptop is intented for working while not at home.rpr
    This would increase installing speed since all those needed files would be available from Local Area Network, which is faster and my broadband and it also would allow hard drive to focus on installing files instead of current simulataneous reading and writing to same hard drive.

  • Install Creative Cloud on multiple computers

    I wish to install Creative Cloud on two of my computers. I plan on upgrading my laptop sometime this year. Is it possible to unistall Creative Cloud from my old laptop and install it onto my new laptop or would I have to purchase another license?

    Hi JakeMelara,
    Yes, you can install and activate Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers, regardless of operating system.
    You can deactivate the product from the old machine and can reinstall on the new machine.
    You can deactivate your installation by opening one of the programs, such as Photoshop CC, and choosing Help>Sign out [Your email address].
    Please let us know if that was helpful.

  • Can i install creative cloud in both mac and PC? up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud?

    Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

    Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
    Max activation allowed = 2 computers.

  • How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?

    How many times can a team member install Creative Cloud for teams ?
    Is it possible for one team member to install it for example on a portable mac and a desktop pc at the same time?

    From the Creative Cloud FAQ at https://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html under the Purchasing and getting started section:
    On how many computers can I install the software I download from Creative Cloud?
    You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information.

  • Unable to install Creative Cloud

    Hello,
    I have an extra seat who needs to use Creative Cloud for his job. He cannot install the Creative Cloud application and when trying to do so afresh, he constantly gets the error "Unable to install Creative Cloud Please close all active Adobe applications and retry your installation" message via the dmg image installer file. There are no other or active Adobe application on his iMac and no Adobe application running anywhere on the machine.
    iMac OS X 10.8.5, 2.9GHz.
    The problem reoccurs even after navigating to the Applications/Utilities folder and putting the folders Adobe Application Manager folder and Creative Cloud to the Trash and emptying it. Then navigating to the Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder and renaming it to OOBE.old, then again downloading Creative Cloud desktop from the URL https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and trying again to install it.
    Despite all of this, the same "Unable to install Creative Cloud Please close all active Adobe applications and retry your installation" message prompt comes up and the installation of the Creative Cloud application is abandoned.
    This is a very frustrating experience. What is the workaround to get this appliaction installed so he can get on with his work as soon as possible?
    Paul

    Sorry for taking so long but I was unable to access my pc. Now that I've got it here is the screenshot of the error. It's in italian:
    It says something like:
    "There has been the following errors: a possible problem with Creative Cloud desktop. Download a new copy of Creative Cloud desktop and install it again".
    As I said before even downloading it again I get the same file and the same error.
    Please let me know if you need any other information.
    Thanks
