as ms technet member have access windows 8 rtm, loaded on test system, , created windows go version on usb external drive. de-activated cs6 laptop, fired windows go version of w8 on desktop, , installed 64 bit cs6 on desktop/windows go drive combination. activation completed ok, able update including acr 7.1, , functions worked ok, except ps disabled accelerated graphics. fixed trip asus website updated driver, , afterwards had full functioning no excuses cs6 running on w8 platform.
next moved windows go external drive on laptop - no problems w8 cs6 "lost" activation, decided trial version. , of course when tried activate informed me @ limit of two. it's clear (and should not have been surprise) activation process "fingerprints" hardware platform, , @ least @ point doesn't travel on over external drive. if wanted move ps computer computer w8 drive have deactivate after each use, , re-activate on new system. btw had moment of panic when moved w8 desktop, cs6 came in trial mode , had visions of having lost second activation. however, upon re-entering serial number gracefully accepted activation, apparently recognizing existing activation in effect.
this not acr subject, stuck here out of laziness, , info useful planning migration w8. have no problems w8 in general, although of course 1 has learn how navigate new interface, not big issue imo.
