How do you uninstall Photoshop from one computer and retain the serial number?

I purchased Photoshop CS4 a few years ago which allowed me to use the serial number on two computers, however the initial laptop I installed it on suffered fatal injuries and couldn't be recovered. The problem is that Photoshop is still technically installed on it, therefore the serial number can only be used once more.
I've since bought a new laptop, and PS is installed, but I'm wanting to install it (and use the serial number) on my work computer which the program will not let me do. Is it possible to cancel out the serial number used on that first broken laptop so that I can install it on my newest one?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Usually that kind of thing is possible, but since you no longer have access to the crashed system, it's not something you can do yourself...  Only Adobe customer service can help since they control what's activated for your license in their database...
So your best bet is to contact them and see what they can do - for example resetting all activations of your serial number, so you then start over from scratch (and can reactivate as you desire).

  • How to completely uninstall labview from one computer and avoid to occupy the licence

    Hi,
    Usually one labview can be installed into three computers. Now i have already installed all and am going to install one into another computer. So I have to uninstall one of three and want to know how i can completely uninstall the labview. Thanks so much for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    use NI License Manager to de-activate the license.  That will free up the NI database entry so that you are OK to activate the same license on a new machine (you really don't need to uninstall LabVIEW- the lack of activated license will prevent use.)  As I remember reading the License Agreement, you can do this up to 4 times per year.
    If you do not have access to the old machine (say, because it fell off the roof or something like that) call NI service and they can manually delete the activation.

    Yes, you require an internet connection.
    Launch DW
    Choose Help --> Deactivate
    Uninstall using the Add or Remove Programs system control panel
    Download the installer from the Adobe site directly or using this method
    Install it on the new machine
    Launch it with sufficient user privileges (admin)

  • How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

    Options:
    1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
    This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
    This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

    How can I take photoshop off one couputer and put it on another?

    Hi Beth, welcome to the discussions!
    Might be a good idea to also post over in the iPhoto forum if you haven't tried this yet as this is a common topic on their boards.
    You may be able to get your iPhoto library back by rebuilding it. I've done it, but's it's been a long time, so don't want to mislead you on anything. The guys over in the iPhoto forum are real experts and should have some fixes for you.

  • How can I transfer Photoshop from one computer to another?

    I purchased a Wacom tablet about two years ago and it came with a disc that held the drivers for the tablet and a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements. Obviously I cant just put the CD in my new laptop and install Photoshop onto my new laptop while the program is still loaded on my other computer but I don't think uninstalling it on my old computer would do the trick either. Any help would be great, thanks.

    I don't know for sure what you mean by a "pin" but if you mean the serial number, you can't find your serial number that way. There are more digits than show in the program itself. If you registered it on the other computer you can find it by logging into your adobe store account, but usually bundled versions have the serial number on the paper sleeve for the disc. If it's not in either of those places you will need to contact wacom or whoever, since serial numbers for bundles are handled through whoever distributed the bundled product.

  • How do you transfer PSE from one computer to another when the original purchase was on line without a disc?

    I have PSE10 on a WindowsXP machine that I upgraded from PSE8.  The upgrade was done with a download; no disc.  The only disc I have is the PSE8 version.  I now have a new Windows 8 machine.  How can I get the PSE10 program onto the new Windows 8 machine?  I will also need to transfer the organizer information.  Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

    Hi there,
                  I see that you have informed 2 things:
                  1. Upgraded OS WindowsXP to Windows8
                  2. Do not have installation media Disc for PSE10 as you purchsed as download.
                  1. Please note: PSE10 is not compatible with Windows8, it's not tested on this OS, however you can try working on this, in case if you face any issue it will be extremely hard to get it resolved,
                  so I would still suggest you go with Windows 7 in case if you have it. For Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 System Requirement visit [ System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements ]
                  2. Mostly downloads are provided by directly Adobe, so you can directly login to your adobe.com account and download the software from there, you only need to have the installation media of current version software,
                      When you try to activate the PSE10, you need to enter the serial number of PSE10, as it's an upgrade, you will be asked for it's previous qualifying serial number of PSE8.
                      ......................If you need help in finding serial number, please visit [ Find your serial number quickly ]
                    -> In case if it's purchased from a reseller, you may  not get the download now, for that you have have [ Other downloads ]

    PhotoStream is a cloud service. You can't "take it off one computer and put it on another." All you do is enable it on the other computer. You can do that in iPhoto preferences.

  • How do I transfer photoshop from one computer to another

    I recently purchased a new computer and I need to transfer my photoshop to it from my old computer.  Is there a way to do this or do I need to purchase a new one?

    Which version? Which operating system? Do you have the installation disk or do you need to download it?
    You will need your serial number.
    You're allowed to activate the software on up to two computers simultaneously.
    If you really want to move it then:
    On the old computer, launch Photoshop then  click Help > Deactivate. You can leave it installed (and reactivate it later) or just uninstall it as usual.
    On the new computer, install as usual.

  • How do you transfer songs from one computer to another?

    So my current computer's usb cables don't work anymore and I need a way to transfer the songs from this computer to my sister's. I have music that wasn't purchased from the store in my library from things like cd's and other personal files that my friends and family have sent me and I would like to have them all in my library but the only thing that shows up on my sister's computer are the songs that I've purchased. Is there a way to sync my music or put it on my sister's computer somehow? Thank you!

    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you transfer the songs via some other method when working with a new library you should also look at backing up and then restoring the device to protect the data that you have on it. Alternatively copy over the entire library into a new location on your sister's computer and switch to your library when you want to update your device. See iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
