Uninstalling/Re-installing CS6 Student Edition

Hello,
I own a copy of the CS6 Standard Edition for students and teachers. I found out at my school that my current laptop, which has the CS6 installed on it, is not equipped with the proper graphics card to efficiently run the programs I will be using regularly in my major.
I am currently looking into purchasing a new laptop and to re-install my CS6 onto the new laptop. I have a few questions, however.
1. Do I need to un-install CS6 on my current laptop first before re-installing on the new one?
2. If I re-install CS6, do I need a new serial number sent to me by Adobe? I am unsure if an activation requires a unique serial number.
3. Will I run into any installation issues if I give the same student information while installing? I have concerns that I might receive an error along the lines of "That student information has already been used."
4. Do I need to notify Adobe prior to re-installing the software?
I have read that before un-installing that I need to de-activate the program from my laptop, but I was wondering if there were any other steps I need to complete before moving forward. I just want to be sure I have all my ducks in order, and that I am correctly maintaining my copy's integrity.
Thank you!

1. Do I need to un-install CS6 on my current laptop first before re-installing on the new one?
If you don't need the CS6 software on your laptop with incompatible graphic card, then sure you can uninstall the software.
But make sure you de-activate it before uninstalling to maintain activation count.
If you want to keep it then also it is OK as you get 2 activation with every software which allow to have the application installed on 2 computer but not to be used at same time,
2. If I re-install CS6, do I need a new serial number sent to me by Adobe? I am unsure if an activation requires a unique serial number.
No need for new serial number, as stated every serial number has 2 activation so you can install on 2 computer but cannot use adobe application on both computer at the same time.
3. Will I run into any installation issues if I give the same student information while installing? I have concerns that I might receive an error along the lines of "That student information has already been used."
Nope,, no such error willl be encountered.
4. Do I need to notify Adobe prior to re-installing the software?
No, it's your software and you own it.

  • Question about Installing CS6 Student Edition

    I purchased student version of Adobe CS6 about a year ago, unfortunately about the same time as I made this purchase my laptop died. I recently graduated from college, but I was wondering if there is a window of time that I need to install the suite before I become ineligible as a student/or if I will be unable to install and register. I currently have a work computer, but don't want to install the program until I get my own computer. Furthermore, how many devices can I install the student edition on? If I need to install it before my student status expires, I'd like to install it on my work computer, then hopefully get my own personal device ASAP and install it on that as well if possible. Thanks for the help.

    If you are still a student then you can install and use the software.
    As far as installing it on a work computer goes, that is usually up to the company you work for.  Most companies control what is and is not allowed to be installed on a computer they own.

  • Can I install CS6 Student edition on more than one personal Mac computer?

    I bought Adobe CS6 two years ago, the student edition, and am not considering purchasing a new personal computer which I will need adobe creative suite on. Am I 'allowed' to install it onto two personal computers using the same adobe user ID?

    yes, adobe single user licenses allow up to two concurrent installations/activations.
    you'll need your serial number to install.

  • How do I find my "Product Code" for Photoshop Extended CS6 Student Edition?

    My daughter bought the Photoshop Extended CS6 student edition, retrieved the serial number, downloaded and installed the software. Now it is asking us to register and wants a 19 digit "product code" before continuing with the resistration. The retailer claims it is the serial number but the registration utility will not accept that. The Adobe account is showing no registered products. Can this be fixed?

  • Photoshop CS6 students edition on 2 computers

    I have bought the Photoshop CS6 students edition and installed it on my home pc. I remember reading that it is allowed to install it to 2 computers. I would now like to do that with my 2nd laptop. How do I have to proceed? Unfortunately I couldn't find any information on that on the adobe homepage.
    Do I just install it on the second pc and insert the same serial number?

    Yes, you just install it on the second machine and then activate it with the serial number you already have.  If you ever need to put it on a different machine after this then you just need to deactivate on one of the current  machines to free up an activation for use elsewhere.

  • Obtaining Serial # for CS6 Student Edition?

    I've just purchased CS6 Student Edition from Amazon.
    I have all the needed documents to show eligibility as a student.
    There is nothing on the box telling me how I need to obtain a serial number from Adobe, just that I must show eligibilty before installing.
    Who do I need to contact to obtain a serial number prior to my installing CS6?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Might be a good reason to buy the discounted versions directly from Adobe.  I think the process is more integrated.
    This page seems to have some good info on the subject:

  • Installing CS4 student edition onto a new macbook pro

    I have just bought a macbook pro (which doesn't have a disc drive) and am wanting to install my student edition of CS4 onto it.
    As advised by adobe I have copied the installation CDs onto a USB and have then copied them onto my new macbook to try and install it that way.
    I can install the first disc fine, but then it asks for me to insert disc two - when i open the copied file from disc two nothing happens ... anyone know how to get around this/make it work!
    I have seen on another thread that you can install the trial versions of cs4 and then input your serial number to activate them but I don't know if this will work woth the student edition?
    (I had first tried to install CS4 onto my new laptop using the migration assistant, but it must have corrupted the files, that when i spoke to adobe and they told me to do try installing using USB)

    The only difference between student editions and others is the license... the software is the same. 
    As you mentioned, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Install CS6 Master edition on desktop and laptop

    Can my company's IT dept install CS6 Master edition on my office desktop, and the office laptop I use when not using the office desktop?
    I currently have CS5 Standard installed on my office laptop, and requested an upgrade to CS6 Master Collection for use on a spare desktop at the office - since it has more RAM. I would still like to use the CS6 on the laptop - when not using the desktop.
    Most of my day involves using MS Office, Revit, Bentley Architecture and Sketchup. I use Adobe software a few times a week, and moreso when there are deadlines.
    The two computers will not use Adobe simultaneously.

    Hi there,
    The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. So if a license is assigned to you, then you can install the product on your Office computer as well as your Laptop.
    You’ll find License Agreements for all Adobe products online here: http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/

  • How to Install CS6 Master Edition?

    Hi,
    I have installed CS6 Master edition, but It doesn't seem to have installed properly, it is all seperate, shouldn't it be in its own Icon on my homepage.
    Can I reInstall it?

    Huh? You need to straighten out your terminology! What is "home page"? What are you referring to by "separate"?

  • Help! Installed CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appeared!

    Hi! I recently installed the CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appears in 'Applications.' A lot of the files associated with Photoshop and In Design are on the computer, but not the programs themselves. I wonder if this has to do with the fact I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and In Design, but deleted them when I was ready to install CS4. They are no longer in trash.
    Thank you.

    If you deleted them by simply dragging them to the trash, then yes, that
    would explain it. Those application need to be uninstalled, not trashed.

  • On how many computer can i install labview student edition?

    I intend to purchase labview student edition in a near future, and i was wondering on how many computer may i install it. All for personnal use. I currently have 2 desktop, and one laptop. But I will soon get a surface 2 pro and my laptop start to be old so I will also replace it soon, and I was wondering if I could get the student version work on all those.

    If you are a student, you can get a renewable 6 month license for free here. no need to purchase anything.
    As for the number of computers you can install it, you need to read the Software Agreement. Look for section G(1). The software can be installed on up to three computers but can be used only on a single computer at any given time. If you get a new computer, just deactivate on the computer to be retired and activate on the new computer.

  • Help getting serial number for PS CS6 student edition

    Last year I recieved the student edition for PS CS6 extended, and it has worked fine. But I bought a new computer today, and can't seem to find a way to get my photoshop moved over to my new computer as my mother threw away the most of the packaging that the program orignally came in. I still have the disk, and the outside box that says "SCAN TO ACTIVATE PRODUCT". Is there anyway for me to get the serial number off of my old version? I don't need it on my old computer, so is there a way for me to deactivate it and reactivate it on my new computer?
    The only reason I bought this new computer is so that I could run photoshop and Sony Vegas more smoothly (my old computer was around 10 years old) and if I can't get this code I have basiclly wasted about $1000 on an alienware x51 >.>
    tl;dr: How do I move PS CS6 from one computer to another, without having possesion of the original packaging.
    I'm not sure if this helps, but my old computer ran on Windows 7 and my new one is on Windows 8. I've also had the product for 11 months.

    You will have to properly reinstall using the installer no matter what: Downloads can be found here:

    Your serial number is registered on your Adobe account. For anything else contact support.
