Installation, activation, and registration



Before installing Adobe® Premiere® Pro software, review complete system requirements and recommendations in the Read Me file. The Read Me file is on the installation disc, as well as on the Adobe Premiere Pro support section of the Adobe website.

    Install the software

    1. Quit all applications running on your computer.
    2. Insert the installation disc into your DVD drive, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Note: The free trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro software does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro software. For more information about the trial version, see Download the trial version.

    Help with installation

    For help with installation issues, see the Installation Support Center at www.adobe.com/go/cs4install.

    License activation

    During the installation process, your Adobe software contacts Adobe to complete the license activation process. No personal data is transmitted. For more information on product activation, visit the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/activation.

    A single-user retail license activation supports two computers. For example, you can install the product on a desktop computer at work and on a laptop computer at home. If you want to install the software on a third computer, first deactivate it on one of the other two computers. Choose Help > Deactivate.

    Register

    Register your product to receive complimentary installation support, notifications of updates, and other services.

     To register, follow the on-screen instructions in the Registration dialog box, which appears after you install the software.

    If you postpone registration, you can register at any time by choosing Help > Registration.
