Transferring CS6 to a new computer

After successfully transferring Lightroom and Elements 10 to my new PC, I could not get CS6 to load, due to lack of a program to open the .7Z file, evidently. I loaded a couple of Zip programs, to no avail. My registration key was accepted.
Any help will be gratefully received!

There were two files, as you expected. After clicking on the exe it would commence the first stage on my W7 m/c, then say something like "you are lacking software on your m/c; cannot continue".
I ended up calling Adobe/India, where I was lucky enough to get a very patient and knowledgable guy who led me through various steps, still to no avail. He then led me to Adobe Download Assistant, where he was able to start the download without the fancy programs. It took 30 minutes, but that didn't bother me! All's well now!
Thanks for your input!

  • Transferring Elements to a new computer

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements a couple years ago and just bought a new Mac. Can I transfer Elements and Bridge to my new Mac? I put the files on a drive and transferred it to my new computer, but they aren't working right. Any suggestions?

    What is the version of Elements you are trying to install. And also program cannot be migrated from one computer to another, you have to install it to make it work.

    The CC version will not activate with your perpetual CS6 license. Download the version from here:

  • I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC transfer program. CS5 started up on the new computer OK, but now does not recognize raw files. Should I uninstall and reinstall again?

    I transferred CS5 to a new computer using PC mover ultimate. CS5 appeared to start up normally, I had to insert the serial number from my original CD. However, now the program does not recognize CR files and Adobe bridge is not working properly.  I get messages that CS5 needs to be updated, but the updates fail. What should I do? Should I uninstall CS5 on the new computer, uninstall CS5 on the old computer using the original CD, and then reinstall CS5 using the CD on the new computer?

    Transferring programs does not work well with Adobe applications.  You should install them.
    As far as having the program on different machines goes, you are allowed to have two activated installations so if it is working on the original machine there is no reason to remove it unless you need the space.

  • I am trying to download CS6 onto a new computer and the file downloads quickly but the unpacking process is moving at a speed that will take days to complete.  Is this proper or is there an issue?

    Can anyone provide any tips on how to get the stand alone version of cs6 onto my new computer in a timely fashion.  I have the serial number from my account but the unpacking process is taking a ridiculous amount of time.  When I purchased the CS6 version on an old machine the download process was speedy and efficient.

    Then it should be the same. Perhaps something on your computer is reducing the speed. Such as virus program, firewall, several background apps running, low on ram, low on drive space, and so on.

  • I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

    There are two steps when entering a serial number:
    When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
    If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
    In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

  • I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!

    I just got a new computer. I need to install CS6 to my new computer but don't have my serial number and my old computer will not download and install crative cloud!   HELP!!!!!!!

    In this complicated case, I think it's important that you get your work in.
    The Photography Plan includes Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. Open an account with them and for $10 a month you can be back in business which I think nets you more than $10. It's what I do. You can do this immediately. You get two seats and they can be either Mac or PC.
    In your spare time you can sort out the license issue and cancel the plan later on if this is fixed.
    If you don't want to go there, then you will have to call Customer Service by phone and hope they can fix this.

    Sign to adobe.com with your Adobe user Id and Password you used when you activated CS6. Then use the link to your Adobe Products and Click on your CS6 the will retrieve your serial and display it for you.  Here the link

  • Transferring camera roll into new computer.

    So... I got my laptop stolen and decided to get a new one. The thing is that I can't seem to download the Photo Library pictures from my old computer that are stored in my iphone, into the new laptop... is there anyway i can do that?
    Thanks!
    J.

    Photos captured by your iPhone and a photo saved from a received email, from a website, or from a received MMS are stored in your iPhone's Camera Roll. Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    The title of your post is "Transferring camera roll into new computer" which you aren't asking about. You are asking about importing or transferring photos from your iPhone's Photo Library, which is completely separate from and has nothing to do with the Camera Roll.
    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library, which is a one way transfer process only - from your computer to your iPhone. Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes transfer process - the original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone.
    Photos stored on your computer should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data - stored on an external drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only which should be kept in a separate location from your laptop in the event it is lost or stolen. The iPhone is not designed or intended to be used as a backup storage device.
    There are some 3rd party paid utilities that provide for transferring these photos in the opposite direction, but such utilities are not supported by Apple and the original resolution of these photos will be lost in the process.
