Re-installing Photoshop CS5 on new Macbook Air    Says license key is invalid.

I am moving software from my MACBook Pro to a new MACBook Air and when I installed CS5 it told me that my license key is invalid.    Its a good license and I don't know why this message is coming up.
Thoughts?

you need to double check the program/suite name that you purchased.
you can check your account if you purhased from adobe, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
otherwise, adobe support may be able to tell your product name given your serial number,

  • I bought a new macbook air, I want to transfer my photoshop to my new macbook air.

    Hi!
    I bought a new macbook air, I want to transfer my photoshop to my new macbook air. I registered my product serial number on the website on my account. Can I download it from there? The macbook air does not have a CD player so I cannot put the Photoshop CD in to install. I wanted to know if it was possible to download photoshop from the website with the serial number of my product.

    If you purchased the CD you will not have a download link in your account, but there are downloads available for most modern versions of Photoshop.  You can use your serial number from the disc to activate after installing the download.

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air?

    How can I install my CS5 onto my MacBook Air? I have my serial number, but I can't find anywhere to download the program on the Adobe site. The physical CDs are useless w/MacBook Air.
    Thanks!
    Emily

    The physical disks are OK with MacBook Air if you buy a cheap external DVD drive and connect via USB. That's how I install DVD software on my MacBook Air.
    That said, you can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links won't work.

  • Photoshop CS5 Bugs on MacBook Air Fixed in Mountain Lion

    Hey all,
    I was pretty frustrated last November when I bought a new Macbook Air and experienced weird behavior in Photoshop CS5. Brushes would stop working. Tool icons would freak out. This was discussed at length on the boards, and Chris from Adobe said everyone at Adobe and Apple were aware of the issue due to video card incompatibilities (?) and Lion.
    Happy to report that all that behavior has dissapeared with Photoshop CS5 running on Mountain Lion (beta v1). It works as it was meant to. Yeah!
    Thought I would report back as all those threads have been locked for awhile.

    Thanks to the USB hub, Now Huawei E303C Datacard is working all fine in my new MacBook Pro 13" i7 Mid 2012 model.
    For experiment purpose, I purchased one USB 2.0 hub (Unknown Chinese model).
    I connected Datacard to USB hub and USB hub to MacBook Pro USB port.
    Hurray!! Datacard is detected by MacBook Pro.
    So, the problem is with MacBook Pro's new USB ports (USB 2.0 and 3.0 integrated in a single port) and Huawei E303C Datacard.
    It is a hardware support issue with Huawei E303C Datacard.
    I hope this will solve your problem too.
    Enjoy

  • How to install Photoshop Elements 8 in Macbook Air if I have DVD?

    Hello, I have a DVD that I purchased of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 that I'd like to install in my new Macbook Air. There is no DVD drive in this machine. How can I install it?

    You can download from the link below. But note that you need to be signed-in to the trials server with your Adobe ID otherwise the link for the Mac download will be denied. Follow the directions under "Very Important Instructions" before starting the download. When you complete the installation you can validate with your 24 digit serial number from you disk packaging.

  • I am trying to install Iphoto on my new MacBook Air adn the install button is grayed out  Any suggestions

    I am trying to install iphoto 09 on my new MacBook Air and the install button is grayed out.  Both for installation and custom install.  Is there a problem that I am not aware of?

    Check for receipts
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • Re installed photoshop CS5 onto new computer & now plug ins won't work?

    I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.

    You probably won't get those plugins to work by just copying them.
    I'd remove the plugins that you copied and pasted and use the phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3 plugin installers, as they probably install some other files besides just the plugin itself.

  • Installing Photoshop CS5 on new Win8.1 - serial number not accepted. Help please!

    Hello everybody,
    I just wanted to install Photoshop CS5 on my Windows 8.1 64bit machine, which also happenes to be a new machine. The serial number provided in my Adobe account is not accepted by the installer! The information I could gather from the "support" area points me to a problem which is caused by not properly uninstalling the previous install, am I right? I did not know this. Also, I am no native speaker and feel a little lost on this.
    Please help, I need to use my copy of PS CS5, thanks!

    clean and reinstall per Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

  • My new macbook air says I need to sign in with another id to download app store updates

    I have a new MacBook Air.  I have two pending updates from the app store (garage band and iphoto) that it will not let me update because it says I am not signed in under the correct account.  I am signed into my itunes account so I don't know what I am doing wrong.  Can someone help me please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Did you purchase a second-hand Mac? If so, this is the answer. You need to purchase Mountain Lion by reinstalling the original Mac OS X version that came with your MacBook.
    If you didn't purchase a second-hand Mac and you have a Mid 2012 or Mid 2013 MacBook Air, make sure you started up in Recovery HD and that you are using the Apple ID you used to set up your MacBook Air. Another option is to use Internet Recovery (hold Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting), because some users said it doesn't require any Apple ID.
    If this doesn't work, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • Reinstalling photoshop cs5 on new MacBook pro OS 10.10.1

    Hello,
    I recently updated my photo editing computer to a new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.1. Reinstalled photoshop CS5 and submitted product code. Photoshop will open and run, but certain commands, specifically print commands or print parameter changes causes the program to quit. I have looked on several forums and followed advice re: reloading photoshop among others, but cannot get anything to change.
    Question 1: is there anything in the que for updates to CS5 to make it compatible with the latest OS X update?
    Question 2: why isnt there an option on adobes site to submit a question to tech support? Every other software manufacturer I deal with leaves you with the ability to submit a question to their support staff.
    Any help would be appreciated in getting my software to run correctly again.
    thanks,
    Justin

    It is not likely that older versions of software will be updated as technology advances.  That is part of the reason why they develop new versions of software.
    Adobe tech support is focused on their new products and generally do not support issues with older software versions - it's unfortunate, but that is how they manage their support.  These forums are their second line of support, where they send people with older version issues, and a number of Adobe employees do support this and other forums.  If you have a question and ask it here you might get a helpful reply... or you might get a useless one like this might seem to be.
