Student CS6 on pc and mac?

I have a student license. Can I install on more than one computer? My pc(win7) is dying and I want to install on my macbook(10.8), but I'm getting an  error that my serial number is wrong. Is this because I have to  deactivate my other copy? I have checked several times that I'm using  the right number.

which cs6 product?
with most cs6 products, your one license entitles you to install/activate on 2 pcs or 2 macs but, not one of each.
with most cs6 products, if you purchased a pc license and want to install/activate on a mac, you need a cross-grade:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
you should deactivate (help>deactivate) any adobe product you are no longer going to use so you don't needlessly exceed your 2 activations.

  • Photoshop CS6. Windows and Mac pop-up/drop down menus

    Hi guys!
    I have a problem with pop-up menus in CS6 (13.0.5) and ACR (white balance) under Mac OS 10.8.5.
    I have been working with photoshop on PC under Windows for the years. I recently had to switch to CS6 on Mac.
    I can no longer place my cursor in the Photo Filter preset mode (or ACR white balance presets) field and use arrow keys to quickly toggle through different presets/modes to find the ideal mode.
    I know that with Shift+ an Shift- one can toggle between blend modes (Layers). But these keyboard combinations do not work for Photo Filter and other pop-up/drop down menus.
    I used to be able to preview a lot of filters (or other modes) in seconds to choose the optimal. Now I have to click this button and click again on each photo filter. This is lengthening enormous the process.
    On my Mac, I can certainly click in the menu and use the arrow key to go up and down but what that does not do is apply the blend mode, unless I also press Return. But pressing Return kicks you out of the menu so you have to start the click/arrow/Enter cycle again, which is a long way just to try the next blend mode.
    It is very annoying. Please help! Thank you very much!

  • Can a student purchase both PC and MAC versions of the creative suite master collection?

    Hi, hoping someone can help.
    I started my course on a PC (I had only recently had a PC built when I started, therefore I couldn't justify buying a Mac at the time). I'm now about to purchase my first iMac and I am still a student so I will need the creative suite on the Mac. I have the Master Collection CS5 for PC.
    I am unsure whether they allow a student to purchase both platforms?
    I am fine with uninstalling the PC version. I know I won't be able to transfer the PC CS5 to Mac CS5.5. If I need to pay for the student version of the Master Collection for Mac, I am able to afford that (barely, but it's a necessity!) however there is no way I would be able to afford the Retail version.
    What are my options?
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Hi vjadore, there's good news.  There do exist some clear limitations of the Student Editions, but with Adobe's rules you can purchase one product twice for both platforms if you'd like
    However, one of the assumptions in your post was not quite right... 
    You actually can change your existing software from one operating system to the other... even the Education versions.  This is called an Adobe platform "crossgrade" and people do it all the time.  Here are the instructions for getting a crossgrade done, if that's what you want to do
    Hope this helps!

  • Creative Suite CS6 on Windows and MAC.

    Hello,
    I am running Creative Suite CS6 on Windows. I would like to run it also on my Macbook pro. How can I go about this?
    Thank you

    You buy another license or move to Creative Cloud. Perpetual licenses are platform specific. Only CCM will allow you to use your 2 activations on different operating systems. Otehr than that, Macs can of course run Windows via Bootcamp....

  • CS5.5 and CS6 coexisting on my Mac (student edition).

    Hello.
    I already have CS5.5 Design Premium (student edition) on my Mac installed.
    I am about to install CS6 Production Premium (student edition) and I was wondering if I am allowed to do that? And how do I properly uninstall the softwares that are available in both packages (like Photoshop) while retain the ones that Production Premium does not have (like Dreamweaver)?
    Do I just drag my CS5.5 software into the trash (the ones that will also be in the CS6 Production Premium Package) and then install the new software?

    Do I just drag my CS5.5 software into the trash
    That would be - well - stupid and cause a ton of issues. Use the proper uninstallers.
    And how do I properly uninstall the softwares that are available in both packages (like Photoshop) while retain the ones that Production Premium does not have (like Dreamweaver)?
    There is no such thing. You uninstall the package completely, then reinstall it with a custom install only including the programs you need.
    I am about to install CS6 Production Premium (student edition) and I was wondering if I am allowed to do that?
    Yes. In your case, being a student, their 2 separate and independent licenses, anyway.

  • Serial Number - PS CS6 Extended Teacher and Student Edition

    Hi, I'm a student in NSW, Australia and just bought Photoshop CS6 Extended Teacher and Student edition. When I went to install it and it asked for a serial number, I couldn't find anything. I found a 'PRODUCT CODE' but that didn't even have enough digits. I have a Mac. Please help me!

  • I already own Student Edition CS6 Photoshop Extended and Want to Buy the Design Standard Student

    I already own the Student/Teacher Edition CS6 Photoshop Extended and want to buy the Design Standard Student/Teacher edition in order to add In-Design and Illustrator to my Mac. My concern is that, since Photoshop is included in the Design Standard collection, will my pre-existng copy of Photoshop keep me from getting a serial number/license on the other two products since I know you can only puchase one product per student? I was just hoping someone could clarify this for me before I spent money on something that I may not can use. I really want In-Design and Illustrator and this is my cheapest route as a student.

    Hi findezel1,
    There will not be any issues, while you are installing the Adobe CS6 Design Standard, you would not have an option to install Adobe Photoshop CS6 as its already installed.
    Alternatively, You may de activate and uninstall the Adobe Photoshop CS6(curently installed) and keep it as a back up and use the Photoshop which is a part of Adobe CS6 Design Standard.

  • Can I have my registered CS6 software installed on both a windows and mac simultaneously?

    How many computers can I have my registered CS6 software simultaneously installed on? If it is just one computer and I wish to install it on another one, I assume I need to uninstall on the original first and simply repeat the installation process?
    One more question: Since the software came with two installation discs, (windows and mac), does that mean I can simultaneously use the software on a windows computer and mac computer?
    Thank you.

    Not sure what you are saying. You can install and activate on 2 systems, but generally standalone installs have platform-specific serials and can only be installed eitehr on Windows or Mac, not both. However, your description seems to indicate a TLP volume license, so that would be possible.
