  • Installing CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Licensing

    I am installing CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Licensing; I am in the middle of the process when I get a dialogue box asking for a second serial number for the Acrobat X Pro, I tried to add the initial serial number in order to start the install and it says it is not a valid serial for this product, what can I do?
    This is suppose to be included in the suite right? why is it asking me for a second SN?

    Contact support directly by phone or web chat. Nobody here can straighten out serial number issues. If you have older versions of Acrobat installed, uninstalling them or running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and Acrobat Cleaner Tool may resolve any potential conflicts.

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.

    start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
    if cc (win):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
    if, your error is:
    "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
    first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
    to find OOBE:
    64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
    mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
    if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
    3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    5. Start the installation again.

  • Installing CS6 Master Collection Kills the Help Manager

    I installed CS6 Master Collection on two computers. Now local help is no longer available. The Help Manage does open, but all I have are the help config settings, via the About menu, and nothing else (No other windows,et al):
    - General Settings
    - Download Preferences
    - Updater Settings
    - Local Content
    - About = Version 4.0.0.244
    None of the above windows are interactively configurable.Settings are inactive
    Not haveing app help is either local or online is a huge loss. What should I do?

    Hi Mark,
    What you describe above works with some CS6 apps, but not all. For example help weill not render for both Premier Pro and After Effects. I did not try help activatoin for all the Master Collection CS6 apps.
    I wish that I had somehow known the Community Help had gone away with CS6. I spent the better part of an afternoon trying to make the old version of help work after installing CS6. Seems that what you guys did was a step backwords per accessing help.

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Can I still purchase Adobe CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition?

    Hi I was wonder can I still purchase Adobe CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition? As I am a student and I don't have the money to purchase the the full software for 2 grand. Also I don't want to get the creative cloud as I don't want to be paying say 250 dollars a year for the software.
    Another question is how many devices can I have the software on? As I have a desktop which I will use for heavy work, and a laptop for light work.

  • How long i am allowed to use Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers edition ) ?

    I planned to buy Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) but i have a some confusions.
    1) If i bought the software with an adobe reseller ( a boxed product of adobe master collection CS6 - students and teachers edition ) and obtained a serial number with it, will i be able to use the software for more than one year or three years once it is activated ?

    There is no serial number in retail boxes of S&T, just a verification code and that needs to be properly registered to obtain a serial number - now. After that you can reinstall and reactivate the stuff until the day the Adobe servers fall apart or run out of electricity or Adobe changes their policies.
