I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

I need help with deactivation.
I want to do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on my computer and my installation of Adobe Design Premium CS3 is not functioning. I cannot start it to get in and deactivate the Creative Suite installation.

if you're using the same computer hardware to reinstall your cs3, you don't need to deactivate first.
but if there's a significant hardware change you can ask adobe support for an activation count reset. contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • How often can I Activate / Deactivate the Creative Suite

    Hello Support Forum Folks,
    I am using Creative Suite at 2 pcs. I want to use it at my stationary pc when i am at home and when i am traveling at my laptop. I would like to solve this by activating / deactivating it on the systems. Will there be any problem when i deactivate / activate it every weekend?
    with kindest regards
    Adrian

    Sorry, hit send too often. You can keep it activated on the two machines
    with no problem at all. The EULA allows for two machines as long as you
    are the primary user and both machines are not used at the same time.

  • Set up and install files for adobe design premium cs3

    Where are the files found? I've copied the program files and can find the files to install

    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

  • How save factory software on T400 and reinstall after clean install of Windows 7

    Hi
    I have a Thinkpad T400  2764-CTO Running Vista Business 32-bit  and want to do a clean install to Windows 7 Pro.
    Sounds like I can get all the drivers via System Update 4.0, but I'm concerned about how to save/re-install some of the software that came on the machine.
    In particular, Intervideo WinDVD and Roxio Media Import. If I go to my Programs folder and copy the folders for Roxio and InterVideo onto a flash drive, and then re-copy into the Programs folder on the C drive after a clean install, does that work?
    I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated.
    I'm not sure I even know all the stuff that exists from the factory. Anything else I should be concerned about? Thanks! - Kathleen

    Please review the HP software and driver download page for drivers/software that are compatible with Windows 7. Also note that there is a BIOS update for Windows Vista that improves the system's ability to function with WIndows 7. Also read "Alerts" and other information regarding this product and Windows 7.

  • How backup/save software installed on T400 before doing clean install of Windows 7?

    As Maliha said (or implied) that doesn't work.  Just copying installed programs doesn't set up the registry entries or any data folders and files they may use in your user files.
    You might consider copying your entire user directory to large flash or DVD or external hard drive as a way to preserve your personal data and program data files.  Things like Thunderbird mail or Firefox bookmarks are in C:\users\kathleenklein\appdata\... (which may not be visible unless you make them so) and can be plugged back into your Windows 7 install.
    "I've never used Rescue and Recovery on the laptop, and am not sure how it works. Any advice is appreciated."
    First, have you made your factory recovery media?  That ensures that you can revert to factory Lenovo setup if you ever want to.  To give the machine to your little brother, for instance.  It will burn a pair of CDs and one or more DVDs.
    You can/should also use R&R to save a current whole-disk image to external media.  That lets you fall back to your current setup if necessary.  This is likely to be fairly large.  An external hard drive is usually required.  Use advanced R&R to set up the target and start things off.  Once you are sure that Win 7 is going to work for you, you can get rid of the saved Vista image and use the drive for your Windows 7 backups.   You do make backups...
    R&R can't (AFAIK) save your Vista user stuff and restore it to WIn 7.
    Is this a clean install using Lenovo media or is it Microsoft vanilla?  I just did a MS Vanilla 7 install.  Since the service and recovery partitions in the Lenovo Visa drive configuration will be useless in a WIn 7 install (if MS vanilla) I used the advanced option and had the Win 7 install delete all partitions and just do its thing.  It created a small boot partition and used the rest of the drive for C:
    After installing '7, install the latest TVSU and let it pull down the basic/necessary Lenovo drivers and apps.  After that you may choose to install the latest R&R.  Surprisingly, it can be used to make backups even without the Lenovo partitions present.  I've verified that by making a full image and restoring to a bare drive.
    It's handy to Install '7, do a MS update, install TVSU, do a Lenovo update, install R&R and then burn a recovery set of CDs and DVDs so you can rewind to a sort of base-usefull-initially-updated condition should that be necessary.
    As you probably already know, start here for your Lenovo Win 7 downloads: ThinkVantage Technologies Updates

  • Clean install of Windows 7, product key failed

    I wanted to do a clean install of windows. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 product key on the bottom of the laptop. So I made a windows 7 usb boot drive from an iso file from Microsoft's website and formatted the hard drive. I installed Windows 7 with no problems. I go to type in the product key and activate Windows and it fails. Microsoft support says the product key is blocked and that HP is responsible for supporting pre-loaded Windows laptops.
    Why is the Windows product key written on the bottom of my computer blocked? And how do i fix it?

    Actually HP would ask you to contact MS. And MS would advice you to get Recovery media from HP. This is what is going to happen. You can try your luck with MS first.
    MS withdrew all the Windows 7 ISO support, especially to OEMs 2 weeks back.

  • I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it

    I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

    Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required.  I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud.  Now I get the famous white screen:
    It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now). 
    Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
    del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
    Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
    The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
    So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
    Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work.  I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
    I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

    CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

  • Hi, I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer, the installer initializes but that's it. It doesn't install. There a reason I miss? (OS X 10.9.5)

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Creative Cloud Installer, the installer initializes but that's it. It doesn't install. There a reason I miss? (OS X 10.9.5)
    I made an abo for the CC, Student version, downloaded the CC Installer, but every time I double click it to install, ist just initializes, and as the bar is HALF full, the window disappears and nothing. It doesn't install or anything.
    I tried re download, re tried to install,  I tried a re start. No luck.
    So what am I missing?
    I can't install any desktop application without the creative cloud?
    Thanks for any help!

    Never mind.
    Found a way by trashing AAM Updater, the OOBE, AAM an ACC itself and so on, and cleaned it all with CC cleaner.
    But this was a very complicated way for a non-IT person to do, especially when everywhere you can read "Just Download, Install an go!"
    No plus points.
