Use CS6 (activated with serial number) on one computer and CC (activated by CC app) on another?

CC authentication is playing havoc with me.
I have a valid full install disc with serial number for CS6 Master Collection. I recently also began a subscription to CC.
I want to use CC per its terms of use on my main machine (a Mac running Win in parallels) which, I believe, will count as both installations of my CC license. I also have a second PC where I'd like to use my perfectly valid serial number to install and run CS6.
When I log in to the second (CS6) machine, I'm not allowed to run my CS6 programs because I am seen as a CC subscriber. There's no opportunity to enter a serial number: The machine, which has run CS6 for years, refuses to let me keep using them. For example I start Acrobat. I am alerted that my trial has 00 days left. I am asked to sign in and enter a serial number. I sign in, but before I can enter the serial number I am told "welcome, carry on" and the authroization window goes away. And it immediatly REAPPEARS with the same message about my trial having 00 days left.
I have had a great deal of angst related to Adobe's broken activation process and my opinion of them as a company has suffered dramatically.
Wondering if I need to make a separate Adobe ID for the CS6 installation. Will Adobe let me enter that serial number via a new Adobe ID or will it object on the grounds that the serial number is associated with my main Adobe ID?

Re-register the perpetual license with another Adobe ID and use the CS6 installation on that ID.  This will keep the system from getting confused during the activation.  Remember to deactivate the CS6 (if it will allow that option) if at all possible.  That's the best option for now.  If you have issue with the re-installation, use the Adobe cleaner on the CS6 machine.

    Adobe Activation error I bought a used CS2 application with serial numbers: it loads fine and works, but I cannot activate it and it will run out in 26 days. I bought it on ebat for 40 dollars. I am willing to pay a royalty fee. In 2006, or so, I bought a student version of CS2 at the College bookstore legally and registered it and it is still running on my 2002 eMac, but my Mac cannot communicate with my wireless printer I just got. So I looked for a copy of CS2 to put on my second hand IBM PC.

  • Sync with Outlook 07 on one computer and Palm Desktop on another?

    Hi!  Here goes...Can you set up a Palm Centro to sync with one computer with Outlook (07) and another with Palm Desktop?  One computer is at home (Outlook) and the other is my work laptop which does not use Outlook at this point.  I would like to sync regularly with both.  Also....since my work might eventually switch to Outlook - can I change this syncing option at that point and sync with Outlook 03 on one computer and Outlook 07 on another?
    Thanks for all your assitance!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello dcusuman and welcome to the Palm forums.
    The answer to your questions is yes.  You can sync your Centro to Microsoft Outlook 2007 on your home PC and then sync to Palm Desktop on your work issued computer.  Later on, if your company switches to Microsoft Outlook 2003, you will be able to use a shortcut in your Palm program group to switch the Palm Desktop PIM conduits to the Outlook conduits.
    I am going to assume that you are going to be using Palm Desktop 6.2 that comes bundled on the Centro software CD.  If you do, there is no reason to download or install the Outlook 2007 conduit update from the Palm website.  That update is intended for the older Palm Desktop 4.x and HotSync Manager 6.x.

  • Possible to use Time Capsule as back up for one computer and not another?

    Here is what I want to do. I want to use this as a router wireless router for wi-fi. I have a mac so I want my data to be backed up automatically. now my brother also has a laptop and want him to use the wifi, but i dont want him to access any of my backed up files. is this possible? what are the steps? he has a pc thanks.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for the warm welcome.
    Yes, I did some research on the echolife and I don't think it has WDS functionality available. I do have another 3Com router that I'm thinking of firing up again. I know it has WDS functionality. The question is, would the Time Capsule be compatible with it in order to extend the network? I am not keen to shell out for another Apple base station if at all possible.

  • MB26 ,CO27 - goods issue components with serial number?

    Hi ,everyone!
    I know CO27 and MB26 can do goods issue to production order very easily and quickly!
    But It seems CO27 and MB26 can not work well with the component with serial number.
    I aslo know MB1A and MB1B can post goods issue for component with serial number.But in MB1A and MB11 , it is very difficult to can material by material number quickly while doing more then 100 components issue to one production order.
    And for authorization purpose we restrict MIGO not to use goods issue for production order.
    So I want to ask how CO27 and MB26 do goods issue for the component with serial number?
    Or there is another ways to goods issue component with serial number to production order easily,exclude MB1A,MB11 and MIGO?
    Thanks for any reply!

    Hi Vivek     
    We use CO27 for goods issue to production order ,just like MB1A goods issue to production order.
    But in the BOM components of the production orders ,some semi finished products are with  with serial numbers ,so we can not use CO27 or MB26 to issue these components with serial numbers to production orders!

  • Customized physical inventory upload with serial number

    Hello SAP gurus,
    My client have a requirement for physical inventory upload in bulk.
    Their requirement is - they will create physical inventory document using MI31 and MIE1.
    Then they will take printout of these documents- will add physical count into it.
    Then they want upload this file to post difference.
    They don't want to do it manually as they have large amount of data.
    They also want to incorporate serial number in it.
    My query is as we are posting difference using z-program with serial number-
    1.if one material with serial number have stock 10 in unrestricated and 5 in quality.
    different serial numbers are assigned to unrestricted an quality stock. At the time of entering count e.g.for Unrestricted if physical stock is 11 .
    then system will ask for 11 serial numbers. they will provide 1 serial number for extra material which we can fetch from file.
    But as we are doning in background , we want pick 10  serial numbers for existing material and again assign them. Same scenario may be for quality.
    From where (table) I can find these serial numbers assigned to unrestricted and quality stock to pick and again assign to them?
    2. I have query regarding physical inventory count for special stock e.g. sales order specific stock.
    In which case special stock  in SAP may differ from physical stock?
    If in any sales order have 5 qty of material and in storage location have stock 4 or 6 for that sales order.
    Correct me if I am wrong, because I am not able to understand physical inventory for special stock?
    3. I got error for a special stock material i.e. sales order specific material under quality and with serial number- When I am trying to post
    physical inventory differnce , then system gives me error - You can't post differences as serial requirement is set.
    Post it by 711,712,713,714.
    Why this error popup?

    Issue resolved. We have developed custom program for it.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Is it possible to uninstall Adobe Premiere Elements 13 from one computer and put it on another PC, using the same serial number?

    I had installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13 on my laptop, which is slow. Is it possible to completely remove the program from my laptop, and reinstall it on another PC, using the SAME installation disc?

    Tomquer
    If all you have is the Premiere Elements 13 purchased activated serial number on one Windows computer, you can go ahead and do nothing else but install the program from the disc on the second Windows computer with the same purchased serial number.
    That will leave you with the purchased activated serial number on two of your computers.
    Adobe allows you the same purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. So, nothing to do but to use one at a time.
    Lots of scenarios beyond.
    1. Deactivate Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1. Do not bother to uninstall. Deactivation is not the same as uninstall.
    To deactivate, in an opened Premiere Elements 13 project, go to Help Menu/Sign Out. Close out of there.
    Then do nothing, leave the program in the deactivated/installed state.
    2. Deactivate and Uninstall Premiere Elements 13 from computer 1.
    Any questions or need clarification, please let us know.
    Thanks.

    It is possible that you downloaded the Creative Cloud trial of Lightroom. The perpetual license key will not work. Uninstall the version on the second computer, this will not interfere with your catalog, preferences and personal files.
    Download the appropriate version from the link below and install, your license key will be accepted and everything will be fine.

    If you purchased it as a download you should have a link to download it in your Adobe account online.  Otherwise you can download the trial version and use your serial number to activate it.

    Hello,
    please have a look there: http://www.adobe.com/products/cs6/faq.html >>> Can I distribute a Creative Suite 6 edition across multiple users or computers? >>> The software license agreement accompanying your product may entitle you to install and activate the software on two systems with certain restrictions. The product license agreement for Creative Suite 6 does not allow you to install the components of a single suite edition across multiple computers. See the software license agreement for more information.
    It could be necessary to activate/deactivate please have a look there:
