Product activation on more than 2 machines, but use on only 1 at a time
Hi,
I've purchased Creative Suite 5.5. I understand the product needs to be activated on every machine where it's used, and there can only be 2 activations per license.
I am going to be using the product on three machines, but these are all my own machines and nobody other than me will be using these machines (I am a freelancer working on my own). One is a desktop computer sitting in an agency where I work regularly but not permanently. One is a desktop computer in my own home office. The third one is a notebook. I cannot be in the agency and my home office at the same time, so even if I did use it on a desktop and a notebook at the same time (which is unlikely), the product will never run on more than 2 machines concurrently.
Does Adobe's policy mean that I would still have to purchase another full license so I can activate the product on the third machine (whichever of the three that is), even though I could never use it on all three machines at the same time, and it would never be used by more than one and the same person (me)?
I doubt it that you can activate it on three computers. But have a look at the following document for some FAQs on the EULA: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19592.html
You could chat with the support folks to figure it out if you want.Chat support at http://adobe.ly/tpFJLf

How we can lock No more than one user can use the table at a single time
Hi Abapers,
0) which function modules to lock & unlock a table.
1) When you execute the program, we can check if there is any lock on this table. If yes, the user should be able to only view the table contents and not modify.
2) If there is no lock, then lock the table and go into change mode.
3) On exiting from the program, unlock the table using the function module.
4) more than one user can't modify the table just display.
Note: If there is any lock, display message saying table is locked.
Plz help me for this requirement.
Thanks
NaniHello Nani
Have a look at the lock object EMMARAE (<i>Lock MARA and MARM/MAKT exclusively</i>) in transaction SE11.
Inspect the F1 help for field <b>Lock mode</b>:
DE ENQMODE
Short Text
Lock mode
Definition
Defines how to synchronize table record access by several users.
The following modes exist:
Exclusive lock
The locked data can be read or processed by one user only. A request
for another exclusive lock or for a shared lock is rejected.
Shared lock
Several users can read the same data at the same time, but as soon
as a user edits the data, a second user can no longer access this
data. Requests for further shared locks are accepted, even if they
are issued by different users, but exclusive locks are rejected.
Exclusive but not cumulative lock
Exclusive locks can be requested by the same transaction more than
once and handled successively, but an exclusive but not cumulative
lock can only be requested once by a given transaction. All other
lock requests are rejected.
If you want to lock a standard table search whether the table is used in lock objects (<i>Where-Used-List</i>). If it is a customer table you have to create your own lock object (including two function modules: one for enqueuing and the other for dequeuing).
The lock modules can be found in menu <b>GoTo -> Lock Modules</b>.
Given these lock modules the logic should be quite clear after starting the program:
1. Request lock -> if successful, continue in Change mode; -> if failed, continue in Display mode
2. Before leaving the report remove lock (note: no problem if no lock has been set in the beginning).

Adobe says I activated on more than two systems, but only installed CC on two computers?
I have CC on my home desktop computer and my school laptop. When I log on either of them, when I am signing in I am told that I need to deactivate from my first two systems in order to use it on the one I am currently using. However, I have only installed CC on two systems. I am worried my account will be suspended for not following the licensing agreement if this continues.
Hi Amandurinorange,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Have you reinstalled it on any of your machine? The message that you are getting appears only when you are activating it for the third time.
Either you can deactivate CC from any one of the computer by just launching any CC product, click on Help tab & sign out.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html#de activate-problem
Now you can log out & log back in of the CC desktop app
The error of deactivating it from previous machine should not appear.
Please let us know if it worked. -
I am considering buying Acrobat 11 Prio on a monthly subscription but I would like to use it on more than one machine is this possible?
You are allowed to have two working installations so if you want to have it on two machines you can. If you want it on more than that then you need to manage which ones are working at any given time such that only two are usable.

I'm looking to start using Adobe CC but I use more than one machine in my daily life - a Win8.1 PC and a Mac OSX laptop - can anyone tell me definitively whether I can install the desktop applications for CC on both and sync all my online files to whichever machine I happen to be using at the time?

I need to install premiere pro on more than 2 machines
i need to install premiere pro on more than 2 machines, what is the best way to do this. (i have one creative cloud membership)
George,
You can install it on as many machines as you like. You can only have two "Activated" at any one time.
So, before you move your work to another machine, simply deactivate the software on that machine, and the activate it on the next one.
Simple.

If you meant that you want a bunch of different people all working on the same subscription at the same time? That isn't possible. -
Can I use the redemption code for more than one machine for Photoshop Elements?
I want to use the Photoshop Elements that I bought on more than one machine. Is that
possible using the Redemption Code? It says it was used with another Adobe ID.
ThanksHi Stover,
Typically you use the redemption code to retrieve your serial number for Elements products. The licensing for Elements allows the owner to install on two of their computers.
See these for reference:

How many computers can I install Photoshop Elements on?
Hope that helps,

Hi All, I have two questions. First of all my CS3 is saying that it is installed on more than one machine, is there a way of seeing what machines my serial number is registered to? If i want to buy another CS3 serial number how do i go about it? I cannot afford to move to the creative cloud.....
there's no way for you to identify which machines have or had cs3 activated, and you can no longer purchase a cs3 license from adobe.
you can request an activation count reset (Contact Customer Care) and deactivate your cs3 on all your computers. you can then install and activate on up to two computers. -

Product category exists more than once
Hi,
We are using SRM 7.0/ECC 6.0 (Ext classic)
Our SRM was earlier connected to ECC100 and was working perfectly. Now it is connected to ECC200 and working.
But area of concern is while creating limit SC, when I select a product category, the system displays a message "Product category exists more than once. Use input help". I have deleted all product categories of old ECC system from COMM_HIERARCHY too. This does not occur when I create a normal SC.
Anyone can please advise?
Thankshi,
Check the Material Group in ECC 6.0
Check in SRM in the Extended attribute tab whether the backend logical system and the product category are correct

Hello waseem.abdul_hadi,
It may be that your Screen Curtain has been activated. This can be deactivated by triple-tapping the screen with three fingers.
Turn the screen curtain on or off. Triple-tap with three fingers. When the screen curtain is on, the screen contents are active even though the display is turned off.

Install Final Cut Stdio 2 on more than one machine?
Hi,
anyone knows if it'll be possible to install FCS2 on more than one machine? I have different macs (desktop, laptop) I'd like to install FCS2 on.
thanks.Hi there,
legally you can only install 1 copy of FCS onto 1 desktop & 1 laptop. any more than that you need to but more copies.
as to the requirements of FCS2, check out apples FCS2 webpage for exact details but roughly, as it is a PRO app, it requires PRO machines (not mac minis, macbooks or any machine with an integrated graphics chip)
hope this helps
