Transfer Creative Suite Licence?

We have creative suite currently installed on a machine, however we wish to move it to a new machine, more suited to graphics and design... does anyone know the correct process for transferring the licence from 1 to the other?

I looked around on the adobe site and found info about business to business transferring etc - not quite what we are after!

    Check out page 265 section 2 of the EULA :)

    Thanks Kentigern,

    Hmm, that seems to imply that yes, I can transfer it - as I thought, but it doesnt seem to specifically state how I would do it.

    I looked here

    But that looks like a right PITA having to do all that?!

    I seem to remember with some program before when you uinistalled it you had an 'advanced option' to transfer the license from 1 pc to another - however, I can't remember if it was an adobe product or not - I think it may have been...

    I think that if it is going on one of your pc's, you just need to uninstall off that one, then re install on the other, I assume that you have the cd key number/reg no. So it would be just a fresh/new install.
    Problems usually occur if your caught using on two pc's at the same time. :)

    Transowner usually applies if you sell the pc with the programs still installed.

    Yeah I've done this several times as upgrades/employee changes occur at my workplace. There's nothing technical about it, you just uninstall it from one and reinstall it on another. :)
