In addition, please see:As long as the program will run on the OS you have, you can install and activate (purchased) perpetual Creative Suite software on two computers of the same type (mac or pc), as long as you only use it on one at a time. It is a good practice to deactivate software on a computer where it will no longer be used, especially before giving away or selling the computer, or reformatting the hard disk. Please see this link: how to deactivate software. This frees up one activation so you have the option to install the software on another computer at any time.If you don't have access to your previous computer because you replaced a hard drive, upgraded your operating system, formatted your computer before deactivating your software, or your computer died, you can ask Adobe Support to help you deactivate from a machine you cannot access. Have your serial number or Adobe ID ready, and then contact us.
