Hi,

Here is the Current Situation:

iMac A - CS5 Installed
MacBook Pro B - CS5 Installed

Adobe CS5 Design Premium Installed on A & B.

Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium Ugrade from CS5 - Unused.

If we added:

MacBook Pro C - Nothing Installed

-

Could I have CS5 On B, CS6 On A, and CS6 On C.

Note that the licenses only allow for 2 installations.

Sorry if this sounds strange.

Thanks In Advance

Owen

As far as I know, you can have Adobe products installed on as many PC's as you like, but the same product can only be Activated on 2 PC's at the same time and only run on one PC. So in theory you could have CS6 installed on ABC as long as it's only activated on say AB, if you want to Activate it on C you'll need to De-activate it on either A or B
Hope that makes sense

so could I deactivate CS5 from A then install it on C, then upgrade c to CS6, then deactivate cs5 on c, and reinstall it on A, then upgrade a to cs6

I think you'd need to contact Adobe about that
