If you never had the opportunity to deactivate the Adobe apps on the failed Mac, then as far as Adobe's servers are concerned, you still have one activation counting against you. Activating it on a third device would require deactivating it on one of the other two, first. So you could for instance have Photoshop activated on both your home desktop Mac, and on a laptop. Most important is that you are allowed a maximum of two active installations. But the chances any owner would actually activate any serial number that many times before moving on to the newer version is practically nil. I little secret is once any given serial number has been activated 99 times, it can no longer be activated at all without calling Adobe and having it reset. Or is it still on?Īdobe keeps track of activations and deactivations on their servers. I've heard about this limit but know very little about it, just found a page about “ Removing Deactivation Limit” that may (or may not) say the limit is off. I may have to do several installations - with two Macs and at least two OS - so could this cause problems with install-limits? I think it's been installed 3 times (twice on my 2006 iMac, then once on my 2007 MB Pro that just failed due to a heat-damaged GPU but I have an image of the pre-failure hard disk) with no de-authorizations. They're “in the mail” and next week I'll do higher-OS experiments, beginning with Mavericks, hoping everything works. I've bought two semi-old fairly cheap machines, one (Macbook) that allows Snow Leopard, and one (Mini) that won't. Thanks for the useful ideas, Eric (if necessary, “ run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine” ) and Kurt (encouraging about success being a good way to bet, but cautious with no guarantees) and kahjot (re: a possible problem). So I'm hoping you can help (thanks in advance!) by sharing your experience and knowledge.įWIW, the Mac programs in CS3 and CS4 are 32 bit, if that makes any difference in OS-compatibility. now, because I don't have a Mac, I cannot do experiments (try the two programs with each OS) to see what happens.

These questions are important in deciding what to buy, but. Will Dreamweaver-CS3 and Fireworks-CS4 run properly in all ways, with higher OS, with 10.7 or 8, 9, 10?ĭoes the kind of computer make a difference for this? For example, would these programs behave differently in OS 10.9 on the 2010-Macbook or 2012-Mini? (probably not, I assume) (of course, running an OS higher than 10.6 also offers benefits!)

But this MBP failed recently, due to heat, and for my next Mac(s) two options are a 2010 Macbook (MC516LL) that can run OS 10.6, or a 2012 Mac Mini with i5 (MD387LL) that will not run OS 10.6 but does offer other benefits. All ran well on my mid-2007 Macbook Pro (MA896LL) with OS 10.6.8. I want to continue using CS3+CS4, mainly Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS4, plus some Photoshop & Acrobat Pro in CS4.
