How many installations allowed on 'machine' even if the hard drive is replaced?

I recently had to reinstall my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard on my laptop even when I replaced a bad hard drive. Now, I find I have to replace the hard drive once more (freezing, tech guys think its hit been around too much). I googled a bit and have read that I can install my (student limited, license)? Adobe software on two "machines". What is a machine? If this is the same computer, it is the machine even if I put a new hard drive in it? In other words, I'll be able to install a third time on the same computer if I did so twice on two different hard drives?

What you need to do is contact the Adobe Support using chat and ask them to reset your activations.  This way, you have a fresh slate of two waiting for you to use.

The limit of two machines is a continuous limit, not a time limit, meaning when you change machines you can move your license as needed.  Normally you would disable an installation (by selecting help-> Deactivate), but when a machine dies you lose the ability to disable.  Adobe support can take care of this by resetting activations.

    Hello

    40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

    Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

    You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • The installation of XP Pro cannot find the hard drive

    The machine is running XP Pro 32-bit, and I am "upgrading" to 64-bit to work with AutoCAD.  When I boot on the 64-bit Setup installation CD can not find the hard drive and the demolitions.  The drive is already formatted to NTFS.

    You try to install on a SATA drive or your disks are on an add-in controller card and the Windows XP Installer x 64 doesn't have the required driver for the controller so it can't detect the drive.

    You have three options:

    1 - Use the F6 method to provide the installer for Windows XP x 64 mass storage drivers.  Drivers MUST be provided on a floppy disk, the Setup program will not accept the drivers from other media sources.

    2 - enter your CD of Windows XP x 64 drivers.  Note you will find reference to SP3 slipstreaming your Windows CD which you can install Windows on a SATA drive, but please note that Windows XP x 64 doesn't have a SP3, SP2 is the latest service pack for Windows XP x 64.

    3 (for the integrated SATA controllers) go into the BIOS and put the controller in IDE, most motherboard with SATA controllers mode on Board have an option to do this.  When mode IDE Windows XP Setup will see the drive and you will be able to install Windows.  Once Windows is installed, you will be able to install the SATA drivers from the installation of Windows XP operational.  You install the SATA drivers before changing the SATA mode controller in the BIOS, or when the Windows boot up upward a BSOD with a 0x7b error.

  • Tecra S3: Installation of Vista does not recognize the HARD drive

    I try to install Vista Ultimate on my Tecra S3, but installation does not recognize the HARD drive.

    I tried to find the driver for Vista for my computer, but not found RAID.
    Tried it with XP drivers, but no longer works.

    Do you have an idea where I can download Vista drivers for RAID?

    THX

    Hello

    Your suggestion is good. The Tecra S3 supports the RAID, and the RAID driver is required to install the OS on the HARD drive.
    On the European driver Toshiba page I found a RAID for XP driver.

    I put t know if this driver will run under Vista, but I recommend to test.
    The RAID XP 1.3.8.0 driver version can be downloaded from this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    Please note; You can store the RAID driver on an external USB and Vista should recognize it!

    Good luck

  • Satellite L300-110 - how to recover without losing any data on the HARD drive?

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110

    The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without losing all the data located in the hard drive?

    I confirm the information published by Luke.
    The HARD drive and all other partitions should be formatted using the recovery disk.
    Why? The recovery disc sets the laptop to factory settings and to this end, the HARD drive must be formatted first.

    That is why it s is strongly recommended to back up the data if you want to use the recovery disk.

So loaded XP Professional SP 1,2,3 to the HARD disk via the second pc normally looks good as that pc works ok in F30 it starts up windows black screen then goes to blue screen then reboots and starts again.

    It looks like you can only update the bios under Windows. I can't because I can't get in there, it says use F12 all I can use is F1
