Installing Photoshop CS2 on two computers

Macfury · Nov 26th, 2009, 02:12 PM

I'd like to install Photoshop onto a second computer in the house. I still have the original disk image from the initial installation. The terms of agreement, however, state that:

	Quote:
	(“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer. You may be required to contact Adobe in order to make a second copy.

Has anyone tried to install a second legal version? Did you have to contact Adobe?

Have a copy on the desktop and the laptop (have done so with CS, CS3 & CS4). No issues and they never are running at the same time.

Thanks very much guys. I tried to take my access code from my Adobe account tonight and of course my purchase of CS2 had been deleted from the log by Adobe--and they were also closed because of Thanksgving! It's easier to get a serial number from some crack site than to get it legally when you pay for it!

Like FeXL, I have CS and CS3 on both my MBP and my Mini. As long as you use only one computer at a time, it works just fine. The odd time I have forgotten to shut CS off on the MBP and tried to use the Mini, I get an alert that it can't be used. I then go close it on the MBP and use it on the Mini.

And I did not have to contact Adobe to do this.

SINC: Interesting that the "one at a time" rule actually applies--if the other computeris hooked up to the same network or th internet of course. Thanks for that bit of info.
