    Hi guys,

    Is it possibe to find a way to install CS2 Premium to another computer after it has been installed on its maximum number of computers? e.g. We are a small business on a deadline and I’ve had to bring in another worker who needs to do some Photoshop work and I need him to work from his computer so we can finish the job on time.

    Cheers,

    Tony

    You must deactivate it on current computers… and no you can’t run more than one copy at a time

    I just bought CS2 upgrade from PS 7 and realise I can’t have my laptop and G4 authorized simultaneously…

    how fast/easy is it to keep swapping auth’s from one comp to another?

    A dongle or something makes more sense to me at this point..hmm

    Is it possible to have a small USB drive authorized and use that as a “dongle”?

    thanks

    This is ALL documented on Adobe’s site…

    1. you can have two machines authorized… but only one can run at a time… in fact I believe the limit was set at 3… but it varies per app in the CS suite.

    2. No.. it is your machines address that is serilaized….

    Thanks Richard,

    Wow, I guess we must be related somewhere back down the track of time.

    Sincerely,
