One of three ways: either from the install DVD, or from a DVD you burn yourself from the downloaded disk image, or from a fresh download of the trial version onto the other machine, where you can just input your serial number.

2. Re: cs5 how do I download a second copy onto my other mac
gooser 51 May 19, 2012 8:23 PM (in response to station_two)I have just purchased a new Mac, now I have two. The first Mac I installed a cs3 version I had bought for my pc I got adobe to send me an upgrade for Mac cs5 and they had to walk me thru a complicated install, nonetheless I now want to install the cs6 upgrade on my new Mac, since I'm allowed two computers how do I install without contacting adobe. Remember I have the cs5 upgrade for Mac but the windows version for cs3???

station_two May 19, 2012 11:15 PM (in response to gooser 51)Just like i said in my first reply:

ALL Adobe updaters are FULL installers. When they don't find a previously installed version, they simply prompt you for the old serial number (the one for your CS5 Mac installation in your case) as well as the new serial number (for the CS6 upgrade).
Incidentally, if you got a cross-grade (platform swap) when you got the upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac, you are NOT entitled to run the Windows version any longer. Customer service should have deactivated said Windows version at the time of the platform swap, so it's probably not operational anyway.

Noel Carboni May 20, 2012 7:57 AM (in response to gooser 51)Did you not keep a copy of the downloaded data, or at least the link from which you downloaded it?
You can find links to your download versions online at the Adobe web site. Click the red logo at the top of this forum, then go to the My Adobe section.

What does that mean? What happens? What error message(s) do you get?
You've given us no information to help you. Macintosh or Windows? EXACT version of the OS? Machine specs?

pkpkoto Jul 14, 2012 9:47 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Thanks Noel for that simple solution!!! I didn't realize it would be so easy. I simply went to My Adobe, Orders, and there was the serial number and a Download link.
I think Adobe has really improved their tracking of all my software purchases over the years - just a couple of years ago I had to tell them that I originally purchased PS 7, now they have my entire order history listed. Thanks again!!
