Question about Installing CS6 Student Edition

I purchased student version of Adobe CS6 about a year ago, unfortunately about the same time as I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from college, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install the suite before I become ineligible as a student/or if I will be unable to install and register. I currently have a work computer, but don't want to install the program until I get my own computer. Furthermore, how many devices can I install the student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I'd like to install it on my work computer, then hopefully get my own personal device ASAP and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

If you are still a student then you can install and use the software.
As far as installing it on a work computer goes, that is usually up to the company you work for. Most companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

Uninstalling/Re-installing CS6 Student Edition

Hello,
I own a copy of the CS6 Standard Edition for students and teachers. I found out at my school that my current laptop, which has the CS6 installed on it, is not equipped with the proper graphics card to efficiently run the programs I will be using regularly in my major.
I am currently looking into purchasing a new laptop and to re-install my CS6 onto the new laptop. I have a few questions, however.
1. Do I need to un-install CS6 on my current laptop first before re-installing on the new one?
2. If I re-install CS6, do I need a new serial number sent to me by Adobe? I am unsure if an activation requires a unique serial number.
3. Will I run into any installation issues if I give the same student information while installing? I have concerns that I might receive an error along the lines of "That student information has already been used."
4. Do I need to notify Adobe prior to re-installing the software?
I have read that before un-installing that I need to de-activate the program from my laptop, but I was wondering if there were any other steps I need to complete before moving forward. I just want to be sure I have all my ducks in order, and that I am correctly maintaining my copy's integrity.
Thank you!

1. Do I need to un-install CS6 on my current laptop first before re-installing on the new one?
If you don't need the CS6 software on your laptop with incompatible graphic card, then sure you can uninstall the software.
But make sure you de-activate it before uninstalling to maintain activation count.
If you want to keep it then also it is OK as you get 2 activation with every software which allow to have the application installed on 2 computer but not to be used at same time,
2. If I re-install CS6, do I need a new serial number sent to me by Adobe? I am unsure if an activation requires a unique serial number.
No need for new serial number, as stated every serial number has 2 activation so you can install on 2 computer but cannot use adobe application on both computer at the same time.
3. Will I run into any installation issues if I give the same student information while installing? I have concerns that I might receive an error along the lines of "That student information has already been used."
Nope,, no such error willl be encountered.
4. Do I need to notify Adobe prior to re-installing the software?
No, it's your software and you own it.

Can I install CS6 Student edition on more than one personal Mac computer?

I bought Adobe CS6 two years ago, the student edition, and am not considering purchasing a new personal computer which I will need adobe creative suite on. Am I 'allowed' to install it onto two personal computers using the same adobe user ID?

yes, adobe single user licenses allow up to two concurrent installations/activations.
you'll need your serial number to install.

Few questions about Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

I'm thinking of getting a DSLR camera in the summer, so (since I'm a geek) I want to make sure I've got all the software I'll need to edit the photos once I've taken them. The catch is that I graduate from university this year, so if I'm going to buy Photoshop (ie if I'm going to _afford_ Photoshop) I need to do so in the next couple of months to get the educational discount.
I've just got a few questions as to whether I actually need Photoshop CS4 for my situation:
*I already have Lightroom 2 (courtesy of Amazon Vine!) for processing RAW files, doing basic colour adjustment etc. Would I get £150 worth of extra usage from Photoshop CS4 compared to Lightroom?
*What DRM/copy protection does Photoshop CS4 use? Is it the same that's used in Lightroom 2 (hasn't given me any problems) or the Macrovision stuff that installs a background service (called something like 'Adobe LM monitor') on your computer?
*If I need to reactivate over the phone some time in the future (e.g. when I move to a new computer and I've already used the activations) do I still need to be a qualifying student?
Reckoned there wouldn't be a better place to ask these than PS forums :)

>then you just don't know enough about photoshop.
Actually, if you had read the initial post you'd realise that I'm fully aware that Photoshop is hugely powerful. However it doesn't offer enough benefit for my usage (ie retouching of amateur photos) to make it worth the money + computer infection. My above post wasn't an attempt to say that Photoshop is bad, or that Gimp or any of these other freeware programs are even in the same league, I was just stating that my own need for Photoshop's power isn't great enough to make me want to install spyware.
>hmmm how about A PAYING JOB! i think that's what the clincher is for most folks.
True, but (again, as I explained above) I'm not a professional photographer/graphic artist/etc. and therefore there is no 'need it for work' motivation.

Questions about buying CS4 student edition

I'm a college student and I would like to take advantage of the amazing price Adobe offers students on the CS4 design standard package. I have some questions though:
1. I'm not a design major. Does that matter? The only thing I see is that you have to be a college student - it doesn't specify that I need to be any particular major.
2. Can I install the software on 2 computers? I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.

No. You just have to be a student. Keep in mind the student version does not allow you to do commercial work with the applications. On the other hand in the US you are allowed to do commercial work with the educational version. both version can be upgraded to the next version with no restrictions.
2. Can I install the software on 2 computers? I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.
Yes, but only if you use them one at a time. You can't have your roommate working while you work. That would require 2 Licenses.

How do I find my "Product Code" for Photoshop Extended CS6 Student Edition?

My daughter bought the Photoshop Extended CS6 student edition, retrieved the serial number, downloaded and installed the software. Now it is asking us to register and wants a 19 digit "product code" before continuing with the resistration. The retailer claims it is the serial number but the registration utility will not accept that. The Adobe account is showing no registered products. Can this be fixed?

Hoppej2140 have you tried redeeming the redemption code using the directions listed at Redemption Code Help?

Photoshop CS6 students edition on 2 computers

I have bought the Photoshop CS6 students edition and installed it on my home pc. I remember reading that it is allowed to install it to 2 computers. I would now like to do that with my 2nd laptop. How do I have to proceed? Unfortunately I couldn't find any information on that on the adobe homepage.
Do I just install it on the second pc and insert the same serial number?

Yes, you just install it on the second machine and then activate it with the serial number you already have. If you ever need to put it on a different machine after this then you just need to deactivate on one of the current machines to free up an activation for use elsewhere.

Obtaining Serial # for CS6 Student Edition?

I've just purchased CS6 Student Edition from Amazon.
I have all the needed documents to show eligibility as a student.
There is nothing on the box telling me how I need to obtain a serial number from Adobe, just that I must show eligibilty before installing.
Who do I need to contact to obtain a serial number prior to my installing CS6?
Any help would be appreciated.

Might be a good reason to buy the discounted versions directly from Adobe. I think the process is more integrated.
This page seems to have some good info on the subject:

Installing CS4 student edition onto a new macbook pro

I have just bought a macbook pro (which doesn't have a disc drive) and am wanting to install my student edition of CS4 onto it.
As advised by adobe I have copied the installation CDs onto a USB and have then copied them onto my new macbook to try and install it that way.
I can install the first disc fine, but then it asks for me to insert disc two - when i open the copied file from disc two nothing happens ... anyone know how to get around this/make it work!
I have seen on another thread that you can install the trial versions of cs4 and then input your serial number to activate them but I don't know if this will work woth the student edition?
(I had first tried to install CS4 onto my new laptop using the migration assistant, but it must have corrupted the files, that when i spoke to adobe and they told me to do try installing using USB)

The only difference between student editions and others is the license... the software is the same.
As you mentioned, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Install CS6 Master edition on desktop and laptop

Can my company's IT dept install CS6 Master edition on my office desktop, and the office laptop I use when not using the office desktop?
I currently have CS5 Standard installed on my office laptop, and requested an upgrade to CS6 Master Collection for use on a spare desktop at the office - since it has more RAM. I would still like to use the CS6 on the laptop - when not using the desktop.
Most of my day involves using MS Office, Revit, Bentley Architecture and Sketchup. I use Adobe software a few times a week, and moreso when there are deadlines.
The two computers will not use Adobe simultaneously.

Hi there,
The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. So if a license is assigned to you, then you can install the product on your Office computer as well as your Laptop.
You’ll find License Agreements for all Adobe products online here: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/

Your education version had a discounted price, so it does not qualify for a Cloud discount

Questions about installing a large internal hard drive

Hello all,
I recently bought a Seagate 250GB internal hard drive for my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics). I intend to install it alongside my old 20GB drive. I have a couple of questions about installing it:
• What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the full capacity of the drive?
• I'm considering partitioning the drive and installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
• Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB drive? Is this a good idea?
• What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy so that I don't have to reinstall the system and everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
Thanks for any help and advice!
Power Mac G4 - AGP graphics Mac OS X (10.4.3) 768 MB RAM

• What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the
full capacity of the drive?
If the drive is an SATA drive you need an SATA controller. If an IDE/ATA drive you need an IDE controller.
• I'm considering partitioning the drive and
installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it
possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
You should check the Hardware Compatibility List for Debian against your potential mac compatible purchases. You might also get some good information from Yellow Dog Linux compatibility lists.
• Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new
drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB
drive? Is this a good idea?
If you want to stripe the 2 dives together your overall performance will be slowed down by the slower of the two drives. For example, If you have one 5400rpm drive and another 7200rpm drive, the RAID will be bogged down by the slower drive so you wont get the full benefit of the lower latencies of the 7200. You will still get some of the faster transfer times, just not the lower latencies.
Wether or not it's a good idea depends on your personal needs. Do you need a drive that can can move very large files to and from memory quickly (bandwidth) or a drive that can locate and serve up the files quickly (latency)?
• What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my
old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy
so that I don't have to reinstall the system and
everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
CCC should work fine for you. You could also use the command line asr utility.
