CS6, eLearning suite, Technical Communication Suite: licenses and hardware upgrade.

  • February 8, 2015

In my PC I have installed:

Creative Suite Master Collection 6.0

eLearning Suite 6.1

Technical Communication Suite 4.0

I'm upgrading my HDD to a new SSD disk (cloning) and putting it into a newer PC

The old disk will be erased.

Am I going to have any problem with my Adobe licenses?

Do I have to do anything?

Thanks

Patrick

OK this is the answer to my own question.

1) I've cloned the disk

2) I just deactivated (Help/Deactivate) one application of every suite; this deactivates the whole suite. If the "Deactivate" option looks grayed just wait a bit and try again.

3) boot the cloned disk (in my case Retail Windows 8.1 I had to re-enter my Windows SN) and now run at least one application of every suite; you'll be invited to
login using your AppleID (You need Internet connection) and you'll be prompted the corresponding suite SN.

That's it.

No uninstall was required !

It will most likely not clone properly for at least the Adobe products... they need to be installed.  Deactivate the old installation and uninstall it so that it does not transfer to the new drive.  Re-install using the installation files.

could you please elaborate on this? the product is already installed and a cloned disk is an exact copy.

Yes I know I can do this. I'm trying to avoid uninstalling/reinstalling everything. As I see it I just probably need to cycle deactivate/clone/activate.

But I need more than just a guess.

Thanks.
