Adobe CS3 Web Premium

Comment:
I recently purchased Adobe CS3 Web Premium for my computer. They said that I could load it to a 2nd computer and still use it. The problem is that CS3 is DVD format and my 2nd computer does not have a DVD drive. So I put it on a flash drive. I did what they said by copy pasting straight from the disc to the flash drive and then copy pasting that to my desktop. Well when I run the setup everything starts and then it reaches a certain point and tells me to put the disc in, well obviously that won't work and I thought that by loading straight from the disc that was suppose to solve that problem. Any help anyone can offer would be nice. Thanks in advance.

Maybe the DVD is protected, copying the files won't work. If two computers are on the same network you can just map to the first computer and install of the first computer.

Likely the installation is expecting the files to be on CD/DVD or external drive of some sort. See if you can't just copy the files to the root of the flash drive and install from it, instead of installing from the desktop...

If you have the two networked then you can just "share" the dvd. Map the shared drive to the other computer as a drive letter.
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

Your computer has the instructions on it already. Go start> help and support> type map network drive in the blank box > select the first of three options> follow the instructions.

Ok, the drive is there but when I click on the drive it gives me this message: G:\is not accessibel - The device is not ready. Any idea if there is something I missed.
Thanks

Are you trying from the flash drive or from the networked DVD drive?

If you have the networked DVD drive accessable and you are getting that message then either the drive is not functioning properly or the disk is no good.
Maybe you got a bad download. You want to EXPLORE the DVD disk and look for a setup file or an .exe file.
