What happens if you attempt to install CS6 on Windows Vista?

On this page http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotcom/2012/03/photoshop-cs6-operating-system-support-and- beyond.html?PID=2159997 it says:
"We will, however, be dropping official support for Windows Vista (Please note: although Windows Vista is not officially supported, we do not restrict users from installing and using Photoshop CS6 on their Vista Systems)"
Could someone please clarify exactly what this means, in practical terms, if I attempt to install CS6 on my mother's computer which is running Vista?  Thanks for your help.

Means Adobe has not written code nor tested Photoshop CS6 in Vista.
You're free to try it on Vista but there's no guarantee that it'll work.
Some have done so with no issues. Others say they get funky behaviour sometimes.
In short, you're on your own with any issues and Adobe will not officially support that configuration - although the user-to-user forums may try.

  • HT1539 What happens when you attempt to download a digital copy, but it doesn't upload in iTunes, and you're not allowed to use the code again?

    What happens when you attempt to download a digital copy, but it doesn't upload in iTunes, and you're not allowed to use the code again?

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

  • Attempting to install cs6 on my windows 7 professional 32 bit laptop, ive downloaded it but when i go to install it it asks for my serial number which i put in but it sais it is a valid number but cannot find a qualifying product on this computer??? What

    Attempting to install cs6 extended on my windows 7 professional 32 bit laptop, ive downloaded it but when i go to install it it asks for my serial number which i put in and then it tells me it is a valid number but cannot find a qualifying product on this computer?? What is the problem?

    Normally you will be asked to provide the new prdouct serial number first, then when a qualifying version is not found you elect to provide that information and then select the version and provide its serial number.  If this is not how things are flowing for you then you should contact Adobe support directly thru chat and get their help resolving it.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

    Judging by the numerous posts on here, there is a very good chance that the computer will not boot up.

  • What happened to you?

    Just can't find you and I do not want to have this Google bar as
    my opening page. Can't fix with re-install. What happened to you and why is this so difficult without warning? Did I miss the memo? I just want to use firefox as my browser and I am not comfortable with Google for very much of anything. Can you help me simply recover the functionality of your browser and explain how your growth has done this to my desktop computer? I do not need mobile and I hope my bookmarks and info are safe till I can find out what happened and fix it. Thank you for your time.

    Set whatever webpage that you want as your homepage.

    Okay...so what do I do? After this it goes to "stopping services", but says it is unable to do that. Then when I open I-tunes it says that the part of the program where the computer connects to the ipod was not installed correctly. this is soooo frustrating. my brother's had an ipod shuffle for about 2 years so itunes was already installed. i was just trying to update it so my ipod video could be read.

    Sorry no but here is some info anyway,
    We increased MaxPermSize from 192 to 512
    We also increased min and max JVM Heap size to 768 and 2048 respectively.
    Since then I think we have not experienced this problem more than once.
    We also have one server with the default parameters and it seems to work fine.
    I believe that size, and number of simultaneous request/responses have an impact  on this.
    We will now install the latest updates and after that decide whether to start logging jvm activities or not.
    Best regards

  • HT4722 What happens if you opened FCP 7 before Motion 4? What should I do if I did it this way?

    What happens if you opened FCP 7 before Motion 4? What should I do if I did it this way?

    Hi Nick, thanks for responding.  Sorry I wasn't clear.
    What I want to figure out is regarding FCP X and FCP Studio in the same machine.
    I installed FCP X.  Moved the FCP X's applications into a folder.  I moved the FCP Studio Apps out to the root directory of my applications folder.
    But what I didn't do, is open Motion 4, before opening any other application form FCP Studio.  (This is what Apple recommends to do)
    Now every time I want to open a motion 4 file directly from FCP 7, the new motion 5 opens.  I'd have to modify files individually to "open with" motion 4.
    I am working in a school setting, (public computer) so I want to leave it easy for users...
    Thanks!!

  • What happens when you transfer contents?

    I have my desktop backed up on a MyPassport Ultra. This computer runs Windows Vista Home Premium.  I am in the process of setting up a new laptop with Windows 8.1 which I understand about this || much. What happens when you transfer the contents? I understand that you plug the MyPassport into the laptop and it should direct me how to install what has been backed up. But what will it look like on the new computer? Will the folders be in the same directories? Where will they be stored? And can someone confirm what will NOT be backed up and transferred? I was told it would be programs that I installed, such as Paint Shop Pro, etc.
    Would be very grateful for any assistance

    Well! That was so much more painless than I thought, LOL. The transfer went well and I had no problems finding the files, but I apparently have not set the rules for what to copy, right. I understand from p.46 of the manual, Backing Up Files, that you select what to copy from the drop down menu under the PC/Dropbox icon. In my case that only offers Acer  (C, Data (D, and MyPassport. I chose Acer (C, thinking it copies everything on the computer except program files. But it did not copy a specific category (?) named in this image "Working".  Can you tell me what I've done wrong so I can correct it before I lose something? It would be my luck.

  • Nokia, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU????

    As a long-time Nokia fan, my first smart-phone could’ve only been another Nokia, or so I thought. 5530XM with its new and innovative Symbian 6.0 is the way to the future! What a poor decision! In only two months of ownership, it’s been sent back for repairs already (screen became blank) and wasted hours after hours trying to find solutions to problems like WiFi connectivity and interface manipulation. Seeking solution by phone didn’t help either: the call center personal will speak with you only if you wait at least 30 minutes on hold and another 15 providing all the personal information they can possibly require (it’s like an interrogation!).
    So here’s the latest challenge: what is the best way to update Ovi maps for my 5530XM on a  Win 7 x64 computer. In case you’re not aware, there are 5 (FIVE!!!) different applications that will supposedly help you find the way! So let’s count:
    -    Ovi suite
    -    PC suite
    -    Software updater
    -    Ovi maps downloader
    -    Ovi maps loader
    WHY???? Can somebody just tell me where do I have to go to figure this out? Which one do I need and for what purpose? I already used Ovi suite and maps downloader (according to both these applications I have the latest updates), but I’m having huge difficulties browsing the map (it’s mostly empty!!) and searching for addresses (cannot find them or if I do they in the middle of empty map space!)
    Nokia, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU????

    To answer your Maps question...
    - PC Suite doesn't help you download Maps, all it contains is a link to the Map Loader application, which has been the main application for installing map data for some years.
    - Nokia Software Update is to update the phone firmware, it has no affect on map data but may install a new version of the Maps Application if the new firmware version has a new Maps version built in.
    - Ovi Maps Updater was to install the 3.01 version of the Maps application, and in doing so deleted old map data and replace it with up to date data after dealign with the app.
    - Ovi Suite will probably eventually replace all of these other tools under one roof, but the others all still exist because not all Nokia phones are yet compatible with Ovi Suite.

  • What happens when you  get a "PermGen space null" error?

    We have resently installd CF 10 64 bit om three new windows 2008 R2 servers.
    One of them keeps generating an error "PermGen Space null" when processing CF script files.
    There is nothing special about the scripts resulting in error
    we have tried to increse Maxpermsize from 192m to 768m but that had no effect.
    the other two servers seems to bee doing fine.
    Any ideas what to do?

    Sorry no but here is some info anyway,
    We increased MaxPermSize from 192 to 512
