Steps to upgrade to 4 Fusion and moving to the new computer

Hey there. I could use some help with few steps so that I have if sure and get everything set up on my new computer, because I get conflicting information from friends of Apple.

Currently I am running Fusion 3.1.1 on a late 2009 MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. I have a virtual machine running a single stand-alone version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and a bunch of programs installed in Windows. I installed Fusion and Windows at the same time of the disks.

I now move to a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion already installed. And I bought 4 Fusion on disk.

My question is, which perform the steps I should follow to get Fusion 4/Windows 7 on my new MacBook Pro? I have to reinstall Windows on the new machine? Or can I somehow copied it to the Virtual Machine and have all come up with it?

I'm a bit technical, but the new to all this stuff with.

What I have read, I understand that I have to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over the old computer. Is this copy the complete Windows installation without that there is a problem with the registration number?

Any help I can get will be more appreciated.

Thank you! Linda

From what I've read, I understand that I need to install Fusion and then copy the virtual machine over from the old computer. Does this copy the full Windows install without there being a problem with the registration number?

Yes, it's exactly what you need to do. The exception is if you had installed Windows on a Boot Camp partition, you will not be able to copy on the virtual machine (since the data are on a separate partition and not in an easily copied file). For more security, keep your old configuration until you're sure the new works.

Windows can decide whether he wants to reactivate, according to many variables that he considers. It is impossible to say whether it will be or not until you try. However, even if it does, it should be unique and should not be too much of a hassle.

    A lot of times depends on what operating system you are using (Windows, OSX etc.) and if you want to keep all your data from your old computer or only parts of adobe.

    The perfect way to do it would be to do what we called a metal backup naked using software such as shadow protect and then install the image it creates on your new system. With this method you keep everything and just change material making sure all your settings are always the same and be able to continue as if you had not changed the whole computer. The only difference you'd see is a strong increase in speed.

  • Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

    Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

    You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

    And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

    When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

  • Updated Windows and transfer to the new computer with a new installation

    Hi I have an office of aging that I plan on upgrading within 12-15 months. I am currently under W7 and want to upgrade to 8.1. When I finally buy my new material under a BONE, me will be possible to transfer 8.1 overall with a full installation and not an image copied from my current position?

    Thanks for the tips

    To clarify my last sentence: If you buy Windows 8.1 full and use it to upgrade your old machine (Win 7), later when you buy your new computer and install 8.1, you will need to remove the old computer (it can only be activated on a PC at the same time).  So if you were to sell your old computer, legally you have to withdraw Windows 8.1.

  • Acrobat will not work after CS5 moved to the new computer

    I moved my CS5 Suite, as well as the rest of my info to a new MacBook Pro, OS 10.10.4 using SuperDuper.  Photoshop, Illustrator worked immediately.  But for some reason, when I tried to launch Acrobat 9 Pro, I got an error saying that it had been installed as part of a suite and that I should launch Photoshop or another program to activate Acrobat.  I tried that several times, using PS or Illustrator, but no luck.  Has continued to get the same dialog box.

    I went to Adobe cat, and the person told me delete the Cache.db file, and then try again.  This does not work while he had me uninstall Acrobat. Given that new MacBook Pro do not have a hard drive, I copied the Acrobat disk to a flash using a laptop drive older, then that allows to install on the new machine.  Now, when I try to launch Acrobat, I get a dialog box saying "license for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contact your administrator or Adobe... "I did once, but had the same results.  The agent told me that I have to uninstall all of the following, and then try again.

    I would like to have a different opinion here.  The agent attempted to the cat down earlier when things did not work, and I had to ask a supervisor before he agreed to continue to help.  But this last outing, he signed off I could contact support again.  Very disappointed, and now I'm suspicious regarding if uninstallation of Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. will do the trick.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated!

  • Cannot install CS and LR on the new computer.

    I bought LR a year earlier and CS5 4 years ago, I just got a new computer and I tried to use my serial number to install it on my new computer.  I downloaded the trial version I read on this forum on my computer and the serial number was not valid.  I spent more than 4 1/2 hours online, chat with them and they are trying to tie in my screen to understand why I was unable to download and use my serial number.  I get disconnected on their part and now I have installed still nothing and I have no LR on my computer.  Is there anyway that I can talk to a live person?  My frustration level is very high.  I only lost a lot of time and got no where! I was unable to download any LR except CC, I tried using the cleaning tool to clear all stop and new start and that has not worked.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    As far as I know, Adobe provides phone support for technical issues

  • Fusion and Parallels on the same computer?

    A few months ago, I went from Fuiosn 3.0 to Parallels 5 mainly to see if Parallels would be faster on my iMac (it was).  I like parallel, but all-in-all, I liked the Fusion experience, better, I used a little unity and Fusion felt less intrusive on Mac.  So finally my question: is it possible to install Parallels and Fusion on the same machine, without a lot of interference between them, since they have both fact their integration with MAC OS X.  I do not really want to run them at the same time, but just have both installed, so I can try one and then the other.  I'm guessing it's something stupid and prone to problems, but I wanted to see if anyone else had tried, and what has been their experience.

    I tried to search but the only things I found were in 2007 and 2008.

    I have two Parallels and VMware Fusion installed on my MacBook Pro and have no problem having both installed at the same time however I have not run them at the same time, neither do I.

  • 32-bit vs 64-bit processors, and recommendations for the new computer operating systems

    This message can be duplicated... because I posted in laptop - forum.

    I'm in the market for a new desktop computer and want to do a lot of video editing (using Roxio and Vegas Movie Studio).  I want to know the specifications to ask.  I need to know if it is better to get a 64-bit operating system processor AND... OR... a 64-bit processor and a 32-bit processor or should I just stick with 32-bit systems?   I'm afraid that my drivers and existing software may not be not compatible with 64-bit processors.  I want a system that will be able to also change the HD videos.

    Any help with explanations would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • loading of cs5 and cs6 on my new computer

    I have not converted to the cloud.

    I have bought a new computer and want to install both versions CS5 and CS6 on my new computer.

    I don't want to disable them on my old computer until I am sure they are loaded on my new computer that I have an upcoming project and don't want to be stressed to get their load on my new computer.

    I have an Adobe user since 2005. I need a human Adobe to discuss it with.

    Condition that the new computer and old computer are all two Windows or Mac, then you're good to go.

    Download the installers CS5 and CS6 on the new computer, install and then enter your serial number. That's all.

    Download Adobe Creative Suite 5 products

    Download Creative Suite 6 applications

    You can leave the software enabled on the old computer. You are allowed a maximum of two activations of the software at any time, as long as you use only one at a time.
