Re-Install Creative Suite - Activation preserved?

I have the Creative Suite CS4 Master Collection installed and activated on my main Hard Drive.
Because I am running out of disk space, I will add a 2nd disk to the laptop and plan to uninstall the Suite and re-install on that new disk.
Will the activation be preserved? Or is it required to de-activate and activate again?

Obviously, Adobe is not going to release the algorithm by which it is determined whether an activation remains valid through a hardware upgrade. However, adding an extra disk drive generally will not trigger any need for reactivation.
The deactivation limit of twenty is not absolute. If you hit that limit, call Adobe's activation phone number and explain your need for extra cycles. Normally, they are granted.

Want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on third home Mac CPU, single user, for college classroom use. No other users at home. Have CS6 on Mac desktop and laptop

I want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on a third home Mac CPU, single user in the home. Will use the third CPU in college class

A single user license only provides for having two activated installations. If you want a third activated installation you will have to purchase another license.
You can install on as many machines as you like, but the activations of those are limited to two per license. You could activate/deactivate as needed, but I do not know if you end up reaching a limit for that as well. I know there used to be a limit on the number of times you could activate.

What are the implications for installing Creative Suite applications when there is no internet access?

I need to install Creative Suite on a network that has no internet access. Various FAQs indicate that you must be on line to active, but there you can create a package that doesn't require on line access for activation. However, if an off-line package is used, does the application still need access to the internet for continued use?

The Adobe CC can work as desktop app without internet for up to 90 days once activated by being online & signing up the account with your Adobe ID .
You need to log in online once in 90 days.

make sure you're using the adobe cleaner, not crap cleaner, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
copy the installation files to a desktop folder and install from there.

I recently got a new HP PC 500-267c/64 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop? It says I need the Twain Plug In. How do I get it?

I have a new HP PC 500-267c/ Windows 7/64 bit c omputer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop.
It says I need the Plug In Twain to scan into Photoshop and can download it but nothing else. How and where
do I find the download?

http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/twain-plug-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Photoshop_CS5_a nd_TWAIN
There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.

I am sorry Erickkasner but there is no longer direct support provided for Creative Suite 5.5 installation issues.
You are welcome to post any specific errors you are able to discover within your installation log to this discussion. Since you are using Windows then Exit Code 15 could mean one of the following:
Installer database is corrupted
Update pending to your operating system
Improper permissions set for the Media.db

How to install creative suite 4 on windows 8.1?

I have a new Windows 8.1 laptop and am trying to install Creative Suite 4 on it. I was able to do this on another laptop with 8.1, but that was over a year ago. When I tried installing to the new computer from the CD, I got a message that "the Installer database is corrupt." I contacted Adobe Support, and per their instructions I downloaded the "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1.7z" and "ADBESTDSCS4_LS1" files from the Download CS4 products page. I clicked the applications file, and it created a "Adobe CS4\Design Premium\Adobe CS4" directory under my desktop. However, when I click the setup file, I get the same message - "the Installer database is corrupt." I contact support again, and they told me that CS4 doesn't work with W8.1 - which is nonsense because it installed just fine on my W8.1 ultrabook. So - what are the steps for installing CS4 on Windows 8.1, and how do I deal with the "installer database is corrupt" issue? Thanks!

I found the solution. I did some research and found references to deleting the caps.db files under older versions of Windows. I did find a caps.db file under C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Backup. I deleted the file, and then right-clicked the setup file and used "Run as Administrator" (didn't do that the first time), Everything installed fine, except for an error message with Adobe Flash CS4. But so far, the programs seem to work fine. BTW, Adobe Reader 11, Photoshop Elements 11, and Premier 11 came preinstalled with my computer), which may have created some conflicts.
For what it's worth, Adobe's own website indicates that there are no known issues with Windows 8.1 for CS4 (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/windows-8-1-compatability.html).

I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried

I just installed Creative Suite v 6.0 Master Collection and downloaded all product updates - I tried opening a document created with InDesign v9.x Cloud version and I get an error that do not have the latest... what is going on here?

CS6 Master Collection is the last perpetual licensed product. The files created with CC version of Adobe apps are not, in many cases, compatible with CS6 versions.
Is there some reason you thought they were?

Trouble trying to install Creative Suite Standard Design.

Trouble trying to install Creative Suite Standard Design 6. It stalls at around 20% when installing "Adobe Help" component. Install time increases but does not go past 20%. Tried several times with same result. I am running Windows 8.1. regards Thomas

while installing, when installation starts to stall, open your running processes and terminate the adobe help process. installation should then continue.

Problem installing Creative Suite 5.5 Premium trial

Problem installing Creative Suite 5.5 Premium trial: I get an error messages that says "The following disk images couldn't be opened ... image:Design Premium_CS5_5 ... reason:Invalid checksum. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Sara

Try uninstall all Adobe software from the PC before installing CS 5.5, then reinstall them back again after you installed CS 5.5.

Can't install creative suite 5.5

I can't install Creative Suite 5.5 on a PC running Windows 7. Have tried twice but keep getting "Your installation encountered errors". The most recent time shows 2 error messages:

Any suggestions?

OK, I figured out how to get the install log - on my latest (3rd) attempt to install (and between each time powering down and back on again before trying to install again), I got the same 2 errors messages as indicated in my original post. The Install Log is as follows:

Are you just uninstalling ID, and leaving the rest of the suite in place? You don't need to deactivate to do that.
A suite license does not permit you to install individual components on many different machines so that different users have access to them, if that is what you are contemplating.
