Unable to install CS6 to a second computer

I'm trying to install my purchased Photoshop CS6 extended to a 2nd computer. When entering the provided serial number, I get the message "the serial number is valid, but a qualifying product can't be found in this computer". I previously uninstalled the software from another 2nd computer.

Did you de-activate it before you un-installed it?  If not, as far as Adobe are concerned the software is still on that computer.
Unless you tell them, Adobe have no way of knowing that you un-install, the check when you install is automatic.
If you did not de-activate, then you will have to install a system image with Photoshop still present (if you have one) or re-install Photoshop to where it was, and then de-activate before removing it.
You will probably also need to remove it from the new install before you start, and even then you may have to phone Adobe to sort out the activation mess.

  • How can I install CS6 on a second computer?

    I need to install CS6 Basic, not extended, on a new computer. I found several different suggestions. So here's what I've done:
    1  I downloaded a trial so I could register it with my CS6 basic version S/N. The trial version it downloaded was Extended, which I don't own.
    2  I installed it anyway. When I tried to use my Basic S/N, it wouldn't take it. Big surprise.
    3  I uninstalled the Extended trial version.
    4  I copied the two installation files in my Basic subdirectory on the old computer. Then I copied them to the new computer.
    5  I did the installation with the serial number, and it loaded as Extended.
    6  I've searched Adobe for a downloadable version of Basic I can install, but it's nowhere to be found. All references are to Extended.
    7  My old computer is an XT. The new one is Win 7 64 bit. Is that why I can't find any reference to the Basic version for my Win 7 machine?

    There is only one download for Mac and one for Windows. They are Extended in trial mode and the serial number which you enter will determine whether the extended features remain enabled (Extended mode) or not (Standard mode).

    Please be more specific. Exactly what happened when you entered a serial number? For example, if a message regarding the number appeared, what did it say?

  • Why am I still getting Error 16 after installing CS6 on a second computer?

    I have the CS6 version of Design and Web Premium installed on my macbook. Recently I tried installing it on my iMac running Yosemite. When opening any of the CS6 programs I get "Error 16". I have tried changing the permissions in the SLStore and Adobe PCD folders, but to no avail. I have also tried deactivating CS6 on my macbook. Why am I still getting Error 16?

    In this case you may to perform a clean installation once, meaning removing all Adobe products folders.
    First Run cc cleaner tool and clean remove all products

    Am I allowed to download my copy of CS6 to a second computer?

    What JJMack said provided they're all Windows computers or all Mac computers.
    Your serial number is tied to either Windows only (if you've got a Windows serial number) or Mac only (if you've got a Mac serial number).
    You cannot install and activate the software on both PCs and Macs.
