Author Networking Illustrator CS2 w/ Vista and Xp

Having some issues with networking CS2 from a desktop running Xp, to a laptop running Vista via a crossover cable. I am able to start the program, but after it finishes loading it shuts down, and gives no reason. Everything is shared. Firewall is shutdown
. I have the same situation w/ photoshop, it will load up and give a message that there was not enough memory to allocate activation, and shuts down. Is there something I'm missing? I just didn't want to install the programs twice if I didn't have to.

My understanding is that if you have a single license, you can only open one incident of the program at a time. But, I read that you can install on a 2nd computer as long as you don't have the program open at the same time on both machines.
Alternatively, I wonder if it is having issues with 2 different versions of Windows?

one have the one copy running at a time, runs fine by itself on vista, and xp, but cannot share the .exe file from the xp machine. I even tried making a shortcut in the shared folder to the exe on the xp machine, no luck.

The application must be installed locally.

Wasn't this issue discussed some time back relating to running the software over a network? This rings a bell and I think the RD answer was basically Robert's answer.

You're trying to run the software over a network, albeit a small one, but a network all the same. OS isn't the issue (at least not with this problem).

Install directly to both machines, assuming you don't already have a second install.

THere is also the issue that several support files are kept in different places in VISTA and XP. Not to mention the required Reg keys will be missing.

Local install is really the only way to go in this case.
