Hi,

When you install any Adobe application that has 64-bit support, it automatically creates two entries in the programs menu, for both 32 and 64-bit options. However, the program is installed only once. It’s just that you have an option to run it either as a 32-bit application or as a 64-bit application.

As your system is 64-bit compatible, you can click the corresponding option to access the applications.

I have the education version of CS6 Design and Web Premium on a CD. Running it on Windows 7. My processor has 32 as well as 64 bit, so the software installed both versions. Pretty sure I only need the 64 bit version, but want to check first. Thanks, for asking. Forums are new to me, need to learn how to ask proper questions!

What software? Did it install both 32-bit and 64-bit versions?

Creative Cloud will usually just install either the 32-bit or 64-bit (if available) version.
