Switching to Macs - question of deactivation

Apple are taking over my annoying Mac Pro tomorrow and should be replacing in the coming days with a new machine. I am preparing everything now, and I want to reinstall using Time Machine, once the new computer is here, but I was wondering what to do about Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 3 with regard to activation is concerned? Can I suspend or permanently disable on this old Mac Pro before I wipe the main drive? The two programs are also installed on an old iMac and I want to keep them there.

Also on the issue of licenses, I have a Windows laptop and I wonder if I am able to run Lightroom on this computer as well?

On the other issue regarding Lightroom it curiously has given me a different answer and said he could either be installed on 2 Macs or 2 machines Windows, but not one on each. Are you sure that it can also be used on the Windows laptop?

Sounds like the representative of Adobe needs of more training. Or it is confusing LR license with license of Photoshop.

You can certainly install (and activate) LR on portable Mac and Windows, using the same serial number (cross-platform).

I have LR3.6 to activate successfully on a Win 7 Ultimate laptop and a MacBook Air running OS x Lion.

  • switching between Mac OS and Win 7 VM (full screen)

    I just got a mac a week to begin to understand/test to see if it will be a viable option for our company. I also bought vmware fusion to run windows 7 on. I was at the research/tent all night to figure out if & how to switch between mac os x and windows 7, more particularly when I win 7 mode full screen?

    We had a consultant of cisco in our office awhile back and that he used the same configuration, but I swear I saw him by activating / deactivating one back between the BONES in mode full-screen. It would be some keys on the keyboard and windows 7 screen would slip up on the screen on Mac OS. I asked him what he was using and he said merger.

    is this possible to do?

    I think I installed fusion light instead of the full version, which would be the cause? I would like the full version installed, but I didn't install the AV that accompanies it.

    Another way to switch is to use the Mac command + Tab (change of application) to change between Mac applications and out of the VM in full screen.  I always use spaces and VMware "locked" to one of the spaces.  When I pass as described above need me in general to another space which is all Mac applications.

  • Mac question: could not get the object file Photoshop Document object

    Hello

    I posted this question in my previous post, I hope I can get some aid.

    I created a group of Photoshop using Extension Builder 1.5, the Panel works perfectly in the window, but when I switch to Mac, broken things. I found the SDK on Mac is unable to me the Document.fullName when I open an image file in the formats JPG/GIF/PNG, event with the workaround provided by Bob (tml http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Creative_Suite_Extensions_and_the_Photoshop_CS5_Re-17727.h( )

    Actually, it is not question of Photoshop event, is open a JPG of my disk image, click a button in my Panel that will get the activeDocument, then try to get the object File from it, the Document.fullName always null. However, if I open the image in the Photoshop folder installed, it looks very good.

    Thank you

    Hi Alan,

    I took the project I have included in my response to your other thread and changed it so that I can open a file, click a button and see the contents of app.activeDocument in the debugger. Then I open a JPG file and debugged to the extension in Photoshop.

    No problem at this end.

  • Unity double switch integration - licensing question unity 4.0 (3)

    Unity double switch integration - licensing question unity 4.0 (3)

    The unit was sold as a single IP integration. My client needs Dual Switch with an Ericsson PBX. I received the license key of ORC, and I opened a folder of TAC.

    TAC said that the license file will not allow installation double switch integration. The Cisco SE on the account indicates that the license key will allow me to make the integration of the double switch.

    Who is right? I heard that the moderator here has all the answers :)

    The is correct. Any customer with a license 4.0 can do double switch. You don't need a special permit.

    Thank you

    I have PC right now and intend to change apple computer this summer.

    I want to download creative cloud now on my PC. But I'm worried.

    What happens when I switch to Mac after 1 year subscription of the creative cloud subscribe with my PC?

    Can I keep the same number of members and just transfer it to my new Mac?

    Your subscription allows you to activate on two machines and they can be mixed platforms, so you should be able to have the subscription available for use on a Windows and a Mac computer.

    I have LR 6 (upgrade LR 5and4) installed on Windows PC and switch to Mac. It will not install on Mac since the earlier version is installed. Is there a solution?

    Update should allow you to enter the serial number of the previous version during the installation

    If this does not work, you must communicate directly with Adobe

  • I just tried to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 on my Mac. I'm going to the message I had the serial number does not match to. I bought for Windows in 2010 and he switched to Mac using Adobe. I now cannot install and this forum was fired by news

    I just tried to reinstall Acrobat 9.0 on my Mac. I'm going to the message I had the serial number does not match to. I bought for Windows in 2010 and he switched to Mac using Adobe. I now cannot install and this forum has been returned by the current agent. Can someone please? I don't have the funds to buy it again. Thank you.

    You can only do it in 1 or 2 years after purchase.  If you don't have that you received a serial number mac.

    check your account, Adobe ID Code

    If she is not there and you don't have to record the serial number of your mac on and fix you is perhaps not able to activate acrobat 9, but there is a chance adobe support would help.  Contact adobe during the time pst support by clicking here and, when available, click on "still need help," https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • SerialNumber disabled after switching to Mac to Win and return to Win.

    Hello

    I first bought CS6 for Windows, that I switched to Mac.

    I bought a new laptop today and I wanted to reinstall CS6 on Windows, but the serial number is disabled.

    Unfortunately, I didn't disable the serialnumber on my old PC and Mac. I just deleted it.

    There is no way to reinstall, because I sold them.

    I was looking for some mail contact or whatever is but it only the cat, which is currently offline.

    Y at - it no mail contact or number to the Germany?

    What is the problem with this company? I have the money paid for it and there is no chance to activate this in time?

    You are allowed to swap one time platform, so you wouldn't be able to get it back to a Windows license even if everything else was in order with whatever your situation.

    If Yes, how should I do this?

    If not, what are my options for not having to buy a new version complete for Mac?

    Thanks in advance for answers!

    The platform swaps apply only to the current versions. Buy the CS6 upgrade and make the platform switch.

  • Questions of deactivation. Temporary switch?

    Hello world. I'm there for several months, and I want to use my software creative cloud on another office for this time (I have currently installed on a desktop and a laptop). However, I have some questions and concerns about the process of disabling and installation.

    (1) what I actually need to uninstall the software before you can install on a new machine or deactivation is sufficient?

    (2) is the permanent deactivation? Once I have disable the software on my current desktop (iMac 2011) it is more activated?

    In fact, my question is if I can temporarily switch computers. I know that the creative cloud can be installed on both machines, but I already have it on your laptop, so the real question is if I can move from desktop computers at the moment I'm far.

    I hope I did my questions clear. Thanks in advance for any reply or insight you can give on this subject.

    You can switch between machines and you do not have to uninstall... disabling is sufficient.  Deactivation is not permanent.

  • Switch to Mac completely

    Hi guys!

    I'm new here, so please feel fre to greet me.

    I'm willing to learn a new operating system.

    A few questions.

    1. the Migration Wizard works with Windows 10?

    2. I'm blind. I use a screen reader on a new OS for the first time. I currently use NVDA, which is a screen reader Windows students. VoiceOver, can the same windows commands work with Voiceover or am I have to learn new commands?

    3. can I use Voiceover with voice TTS OSX like JR, the Dectalk access voice?

    I don't have a mac yet, but would appreciate some tips to get started so I can use them with my mac.

    Oh, and it will be my first mac product!

    I know that this will be a sidewalk of learning, but I'm very happy to go once I have exact change!

    Appreciate the info and warm welcome!

    Welcome to macOS!

    (1) Yes.

    2 & 3) I do not know if orders will be exactly the same, but here are some great resources for you:

    From my experience, using a Mac has always been simple. I come from a background of PC as well and felt that many (not all) shortcuts are identical or similar. Additional resources are lower for a new Mac user. I hope you enjoy!

  • PC update or switch to Mac?

    Hi all!

    I'm mostly an avid user, but I just fell in love with Adobe CS5.5 after using the trial.  My question is the good ' ol question.  Mac or PC?  Now, I have an AMD setup right now.  But I wonder if I should sell and opt for a new generation with an i7 or simply upgrade to a Mac?

    I know that the industry began to use Final Cut Pro and first, but I found that the first CS5.5 allows users to import XML files (which are CPF files, I think).  How to Import FCP files in first if I use a PC or not?

    If not, should I just upgrade to a Mac (I'm thinking iMac or a Macbook Pro) or simply update my PC?

    I would like to use Photoshop Adobe AE, Premiere Pro CS5.5, for now.  I buy a Mac for Music Production, but I wanted to know for video and photo if a better Mac is the way to go.

    I was PC my life and started using Macs in 1990 - something. In 2009, I built a Mac Pro specifically to make a film with the CS3 version. Today, I again that Mac Pro, updated the firmware for 2010 and exchanged in a Hex CPU core, 32GB RAM 1333, card RAID Areca and all sorts of things. I still love it, but the PC is currently better. OS X (Snow Leopard) is nice and all, but it is still just a tool and Win7 is great, too.

    FCP X. Bought it, fought with him, still don't know if I'll ever use it on paid employment.

    CS5. I love. I personally have no problem (even on a Mac) with the ATI 5870 mercury running in mode 'software only '. I have a nVidia GTX285 for Mac, but I didn't like the performance and switched back to 5870. Can't wait to see what brings the CS6... SpeedGrade? OpenCL GPU acceleration? Mmmm... and with the new maps 7900 series ATI out... who knows!

    I think that if you are a PC, be grateful and use it to your advantage. These are days PC, mang! Mac may have been King in 2008-9, but PC exceeded their. Save Apple for your gadget needs.
