this software can't be installed on this computer

Explorer ,
Jan 12, 2021 Jan 12, 2021

Recieved rencetly some brand new imacs and macbooks. They are the m1 processor.

 

I tried to create a new creative cloud shared license package.

 

When i unzip on the test machine, and try and run it, i get "this software can't be installed on this computer" with the only option being close.

 

Is there a way to see the log to see what the actual error is? is this a known issue? osx version is 11.0.1 which is what came with the machine. photoshop etc, version is 2021 (22.1.1)

 

need either a log file or some explanation whats going on here....

Yeah after i modified the packages with the zip file i was able to install fine on 11.0.1 version of osx.

 

The package worked fine on the 10.15 version of osx as well without the modification. So its for sure an OS problem not related to the hardware. I downgraded a machine to 10.15 just to test it.

 

thanks for the help that did resolve it.

The link in your post does not work any more (404).
Ist there anywhere else I can find info?
Background:
I just purchased Adobe Pro DC via my university and cannot install on a MacBook Pro 2021 (Apple M1 Max).
I opnly get the very uninformative error message: "This software can’t be installed on this computer."

Hi there,

 

I completely understand how frustrating it can be when things don't go as planned. You mentioned experiencing a similar issue, so to better assist you, could you please share the error message you encountered when installing the apps?

I checked the Adobe ID (email) you used to post here, but I couldn't find any subscription registered under it. If you have another Adobe ID where your subscription might be registered, please share that with me in a personal message. To know how to send a personal message, please see: https://adobe.ly/49RKZsx

 

I'll be happy to help.

 

Thanks,

^BS
