Re-installing Creative Cloud in a computer that crashed

I have installed Creative Clould in my desktop and my primary laptop (A Lenovo ThinkPad T530).  Unfortunately, the hard disk of the T530 failed.  In restoring this computer to "good health", this would mean that Creative Cloud would need to be re-installed.  Are there any problems/concerns/procedures that one needs to take care of prior to re-installing in the same machine after a crash?
Let me say here that since this is a personal license, it should be possible to install the software in every computer one has access to.  As long as only one instance is running, (and this can be easily checked), there should not be any problem.  I understand that the software is actually installed locally and some of the products can be run without a live connection to the internet (and thus the licensing terms can be "abused") but at the time of licenses, limiting the use of the software in a desktop and laptop is probably outdated.  I am currently travelling and because my primary laptop has crashed, I have with me my older Thinkpad T500 which, of course, does not have Creative Cloud installed.  This is causing a substantial problem for me.  I am sure that I am hardly the only one in the same position.

You should be able to install successfully on your old laptop as long as it meets the needed system requirements.  If you have previously installed and activated the software on two other computers then you may receive a message that you need to deactivate all of your activations.  Once you click on this button you will then be able to activate on the newly installed system.

  • How to install creative cloud on second computer?

    Hi,
    I have purchased Adobe Creative Cloud for work and I'm one of 2 administrators. I am however the only the person using the products (the other admin is a general admin person  in our organization). I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud on my work computer (a PC) but would also like to install a few of the products on my home computer (a Mac) as well as I sometimes work from home and my Mac is generally alot faster than the PC. How do I do this? I have signed on to Adobe Creative Cloud online however it seems I can only download the programs I need as trials.

    Please do not worry. You can just download it from Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps.
    You have to activate it with your Adobe ID.
    In case the CC has been activated two time, you will have to use the option to deactivate the CC from previous install .This prompt will appear when you will try to activate the CC. Once you choose this option it will allow you to activate the CC on the new machine.

  • Can I install Creative Cloud on a computer if I download the app from a different computer?

    I pre-purchased Cloud and I have been paying every month and I have yet to be able to use it.
    I finally get high speed internet to downoad the programs but the LAN card on my desktop is not working and I cannot fix it.
    I am overseas and I cannot get to a service center, if I relpace the LAN card myself I void the warranty on the computer.
    I can use the highspeed with my laptop, so is it possible to download the apps with my laptop and install on my desktop?
    Thanks

    Hi Greg,
    Things changed a bit when CS6 was replaced  in June – but you can still do this with the new 'CC' release:

  • Installing creative cloud on another computer

    I installed Photoshop CC on a second computer (I think I can install any CC on two computers with one license/serial right ?).
    But When I enter my serial to activate Photoshop, it tells me that it can't validate this serial number.
    Thank you for your help.

    Cloud programs do not use a serial number, they are activated when you log in to your paid Cloud account

    And will the thievs be able to purchase things from itunes or adobe with my cardinfo? I have a password who comes up overtime i download anything, but i never used itunes on buying things. I just registred there.

    What is iCloud, and did you ask Apple about their "I" product? (The Cloud is not iCloud, whatever that may be)

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Adobe (this is an open forum, not Adobe support)

    For anything else, contact your credit card company and have a new card issued if you had any information on your stolen computer... and go to ALL of your online accounts and change your passwords

    Hi Bussada,
    No, you dont have to uninstall Creative cloud from the other machine. You can use your Adobe ID to download and install the software on the other machine. Please ensure that you don't use both machine at the same time.

  • Why can't I install Creative Cloud on my second computer?

    I'm having trouble install Creative Cloud on my 2nd computer -- MacBook Pro. I download the app and clicked on the Installer, and when I initializing the installer, I get this message: Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem. However, it is missing or damaged. Please download and install a new copy of the Creative Cloud from "http:www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp'. So I click on Get Creative Cloud and the downloading cycle begin again. Also, it asks for Adobe Application Manager. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks.

    The CC has been activated twice, April 2013, July 2014, it needs to deactivated from one of the computer to install it on the second computer, it might be that accidentally, it has been activated twice.
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    In case the previous computer is not available to De-activate then you can choose to " De activate all" while installing & activating it now, it deactivate the previous one & activate this with one activation count remaining.

    First, ask in the forum for the program you are using
    This forum is about the Cloud as a delivery process, not about using individual programs
    If you start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
