Krass, welcome to the Forum!
Well, my daughter regularly runs illustrator on her 1.33ghz 512mb ibook without any issues. If she wanted to use Photoshop I'm sure she could.

  • Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server

    Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?

    The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
    I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
    Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
    Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
    See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
    I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
    Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices.

  • I want to by a new Mac Book Pro, but I still use Creative Suite CS6. Is it still working?

    I want to by a new Mac Book pro with Yosemite, but I still use Creative Suite CS6 and I don´t want to update it to CC. So it is very important for me to know if CS6 is working on Yoemite. I rode that After Effects and Photoshop are fine, but what is with Indesign CS6, Illutrator CS6 and all the other Programms. Please let me know if it is possible?
    Thanks

    CS6 apps are supported on Yosemite, but if you buy a retina display model you will not be happy with some of the apps such as InDesign which are not optimized for that display.

  • How do I add fonts to Premiere, if i'm using creative suite?

    I'm wondering how I can add fonts to my apps that I've donwloaded using Creative Suite package that Adobe just came out with. Is there a way to do it all at once so all the programs use the same font folder, or do I have to add it to each app. Either way I can't figure out how to add it so please help me figure this out.
    Thanks

  • Updating my emac to use creative suite 2

    Hello,
    New to apple discussions and not too techy on the hardware side !
    I'm looking to get the Adobe Creative Suite2 on my current emac. I know i'm going to need to upgrade certain elements to ensure it can handle it. Memory is one thing (I have 256 SDRAM) with a slot spare. the Creative suite needs 384 to run any single application, and 512 to 1 gb to run the suite simultaneously.
    My question is really to any CS2 users from their experience - other than getting a new mac - is there anything else I need to to update to run CS2 smoothly or should the introduction of more memory do the trick ?
    Many thanks !
    emac - 1ghz PowerPC G4 - 256mb SDRAM   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hey theair.
    It's all about the memory. As much as you can possibly afford. For a tidy running machine, anything above 512 is necessary. I've recently swished mine up from 512 to 1G rather cheaply thanks to Crucial Memory: http://www.crucial.com/uk/
    The computers at my uni are running Creative Suite with 512 and no problems. Hope this helps.

  • Running Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on G4 iBook

    Hi all
    I have a G4 iBook 933 MHz, 640 Mb RAM, 32Mb graphics card running OS X 10.4.11. Adobe Creative Suite CS and Macromedia Studio MX 2004 are both installed on the system and run fine.
    I'm considering upgrading the software to Creative Suite Design Premium CS3. The idea is to wring another 6 months solid use out of the iBook then purchase a Mac Pro to be my workhorse. The iBook will be used just when I'm on the road.
    The system requirements for CS3 design premium seem to be borderline OK for the iBook, only Photoshop and Illustrator seem to require more graphics memory than I have - but I won't be pushing either to the limit.
    Just wondering if anyone is successfully running CS3 on the same hardware? Or if someone's tried and found it won't work!
    Thanks in advance folks.

    Hi mpjx,
    I found the minimum requirements for CS Design Premium...
    Macintosh
    PowerPC® G4 or G5 or multicore Intel processor
    Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5 (Leopard)
    Java™ Runtime Environment 1.5 required for Adobe Version Cue® CS3 Server
    1GB of RAM
    6.3GB of available hard-disk space (additional free space required during installation)
    1,024x768 monitor resolution with 16-bit video card
    DVD-ROM drive
    QuickTime 7.1.2 software required for multimedia features
    Some 3D features in Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended require an OpenGL 1.4 capable graphics card with at least 64MB of VRAM
    Internet or phone connection required for product activation
    Broadband Internet connection required for online services*
    Here's the link: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/systemreqs/
    Since your iBookg4 only supports 640MB of RAM, and CS requires 1GB of RAM, I think you would experience very slow performance and probably crashes while editing.
    I wish I had something more positive to offer...

  • Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 Creative Suite with Corel Sketchpad

    Hi,
    I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 a few years ago and it came with Corel Painter Sketchpad.
    I have been using the sketchpad once in a while since then.
    Recently I could not see the media settings in the Sketchpad so I decided to update the program, but instead, I upgraded it without realising it. As a result, Corel upgraded it for me and gave me one month trial and then I would have to buy the program. This program came together with Photoshop CS 5.5 in 2012 and I had it since then.
    I would like to ask you very much to update my Corel Sketchpad so I can use it as I was before since it came with my Adobe Photoshop Creative Suite.
    Thank you so very much,
    Georgeta

    Adobe has no influence on third-party OEM deals and whatever technical issues you have can probably easily resolved by reinstalling the original software.

  • Re-install the adobe creative suite with my 12-month pre-paid membership

    My laptop was restored to factory settings and basically completely rebuilt, and in the process I lost the adobe creative suite apps that I had installed. When I tried to use my membership access code to reinstall the apps, it said the access code had already been used. How can I reinstall them with the membership that I have already paid for?

    Hi there!
    In your case, I'd highly recommend switching off auto-renewal once you've purchased your annual membership. You can make changes to your Creative Cloud subscription on the My Account page on Adobe.com: https://www.adobe.com/account.html Just click on "My subscriptions and services" in the far right column. Once your full annual membership commitment ends, go in and make sure your annual membership has fully expired and does not automatically renew. Then all you have to do is purchase your 12-month pre-paid from Amazon and make sure you use the same account information you used in your first subscription.
    The only fee that you could encounter in this process is if you decide to cancel your annual memberships early: (taken from the Creative Cloud FAQ)
    If you decide to cancel a 3- or 12-month prepaid membership purchased at a retailer or online store, you will receive a refund of 50% of the value of the time left on your membership. To cancel your membership, contact Adobe Customer Service.
    To cancel a one-year membership, you can either go online to the Account page on www.creativecloud.com or contact Adobe Customer Service. If you cancel your membership before meeting the 12-month commitment date, you will be charged 50% of the remaining amount left on your contract.
    So make sure your full annual membership does not renew after your commitment date!
    After your annual membership expires or is cancelled, the applications you have installed will be deactivated and you won't be able to use them. You don't need to uninstall and reinstall them - you'll just need to enter your new subscription information in the Application Manager the next time you reopen the applications.
    If you have any issues with this process, or want more personalized help, you can always contact Adobe Customer Service: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/

  • How to download creative suite with the serial number

    I have the discs from when I purchased creative suite 3. The serial number is registered to me. I recently bought a macbook pro. I would like to get my creative suite over to the new computer. Any suggestions on how to do that?

    Just install the application from the discs and use the serial number to activate.  You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations if you wish to keep both working.  If you wish to free up the extra activation then open an application on the old machine and choose Help -> Deactivate.

  • Want to use Creative suite on PC and Mac

    My son bought the student edition creative suite last year and installed it on his PC, he has now got a Mac laptop for school and wants to use your program on his Mac what is the best way to go about this, do I need to buy him another program?

    Serial numbers for standalone retail products are platform specific. You can run a platform swap or indeed will have to buy a second license if you want to keep using it on both ends.
