Is there a way to reset the activation limit?

Hi.  I originally bought Photoshop CS2 (I guess about 7 years ago), and since then I've upgraded to CS3, and then the CS5 Extended Upgrade.  Unfortunately over the years I've had system crashes that required complete reinstalls of Windows, and as a result I have no more "activations".  In addition, there's something goofy with the Photoshop CS 5 Extended upgrade application in that although Adobe did offer an upgrade from CS3 to CS5 Extended the installer doesn't recognize the serial number. (Neither the CS2 full product serial number, nor the CS3 upgrade serial number.)
As a result, any time I need to install Photoshop it means I have to call them, and last time (for the CS5 Extended install) it took about an hour on the phone, multiple discussions between the customer support person and their supervisor, etc.  I'm at the point where I'm not going to pay for the CS6 upgrade just because I don't want to deal with the hassle of installing it.
Is there some way to get Adobe to "wipe the slate clean" and reset the activations so I can do this all over the net?  And does the CS6 installer recognize older serial numbers like CS2 or the CS3 upgrade serial number?

For the installer question I'm wondering if the CS6 Extended installer will work with the serial numbers I have.  The CS5 Extended installer didn't.
I have the following serial numbers:
Photoshop CS2 (full application)
Photoshop CS3 (upgrade)
Photoshop CS5 Extended (upgrade)

  • I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?

    I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

    i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    No, Apple can't help.  Just connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode.  For that mode see:

  • I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    I cleaned my wireless keyboard with a cloth that had a few sprays of windex on it, wiping back and forth and up and down on the keys. Now, various keys are not working. Is there a way to "reset" the keyboard to restore the keys?

    Thanks for replying (thorvsphoenix)
    The windex was sprayed on the cloth, not the keyboard. And only one or two pumps on a hand towel. No liquid seeped between the keys the towel was barely damp. You are saying the ammonia gas created the problem?
    I think It was more an issue of multiple keys being depressed at the same time that screwed up the configuration. That is why I need to "reboot" the keyboard.

  • Is there a way to reverse the active/inactive portions of the duty cycle?

    I'm trying to sync the start times for an AI operation and a buffered encoder read. These two operations happen at different sampling rates and different sampling intervals, so I can't just port the AI scanclock over to the gates of the encoder counters.
    My approach is to use three counters: one to generate a triggered pulse that has a width equal to the total sampling time (the trigger for this pulse comes from the AI start). The OUT from this counter then feeds the GATE for a counter that generates a pulse train while the GATE is high. Therefore, it generates a finite pulse train for the desired acquistion time. The out from this second counter goes to the GATEs of the encoder counters to
    generate the DMA transfers.
    The problem is that the pulse train always puts the active portion of the duty cycle at the end of the period, so the DMA transfer happens at a delay of T/2 relative to the start of the AI acquisition.
    Is there a way to put the active portion of the duty cycle at the start of the period? i.e., when the gate goes high, I want the pulse train to start high then go low at the end of the duty cycle.
    Thanks,
    rgames

    The simplest seeming answer would often be to use 'Set Attribute.vi' to change the counter's output polarity. Then the counter will be at a high state during the delay and low during the pulse. However, that would also put it in the high state while armed and waiting for the trigger, and again after the pulse completes. It doesn't seem like that would work for you.
    A near-miss idea would be to leave the polarity alone and simply specify the shortest possible delay. Use the internal max timebase as a source and set "Pulse Spec 1" == 2. On a 660x device, that'll only delay you by 25 nsec.
    In fact, you may be able to change that near-miss into a perfect hit. The short delay may or may not change the timing of the DMA transfers relative to the trigger, depending on exactly how the "generate pulse train while gate is high" function is implemented. Here are some ways I can imagine:
    A. The "pulse while gate is high" counter is always cycling internally. An output signal is always being generated on the TIO chip and is always being AND'ed with the state of the Gate signal coming in. The result of the AND is sent to the actual IO pin.
    B. Similar to (A), but the AND'ing is done only when there's a state transition and the result is latched until the next state transition.
    C. Internally, the pulse train counter always *wants* to run, but its Source is always being AND'ed with the Gate signal. Then, as far as the pulse train counter is concerned, time is frozen when the Gate is in the inactive state. This is how I *think* I remember it working.
    In cases (A) and (B), the timing of the DMA transfers wouldn't be affected except for the rare case where the trigger event occurred within 25 nsec of a "scheduled" transfer. In case (C), you can compensate by changing the duty cycle of the "pulse while Gate is high" counter. Simply subtract 2 from "Pulse Spec 1" and add 2 to "Pulse Spec 2". Then (assuming its polarity is low state delay, high state pulse) make sure the encoder counter Gate is set to do DMA transfers on the low-->high transition.
    Final note: if timing synchronization between analog and encoder is really important, there may be a better way. As I recall, the AI start signal does not have deterministic timing relative to the actual A/D conversions. You might instead have two counters of the 660x set to "pulse while Gate is high" and set up the other one to be the AI scan clock. Then you'd be more fully in control of their time==0 marks.

  • My iphone 3gs on off button does not work.  Is there another way to reset the phone?

    The on/off button on my iphone 3gs does not work.  I cannot shut the phone down to reboot and it is stuck in a no service.  I cannot get cell or internet service.  Is there another way to reboot the phone?  Possibly a soft reset?

    The screen goes to voice control.  It only recognises the home button not the on/off button.  Is there a way to soft reset the phone?

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • Is there a way to reset the scale of the keyframe editor in Motion ?

    Hello !
    I am currently stuck in the keyframe editor : I am unable to zoom verticaly because the values of the scale are huge even when I click the button for vertical adjustment. As you can see in the screen capture, we are talking billions, although the values of the curve oscillate between -180 and 180, so it’s impossible to edit the curve !
    I assume it’s some sort of weird bug because it concerns the editor for only one object. I can’t find any way in the documentation to reset the vertical scale and I wonder if it’s possible.

    When the keyframe editor pane is open, at the upper right corner there's a series of icons. The 3rd from the left will fit the currently visible curves into the window.

  • Is there a way to "reset" the games "played count" on the 5th Gen iPod Nano

    I was just looking through my new iPod Nano (16 GB), and happened to select
    all three games (Klondike, Maze and Vortex), but never played them, just looked and then
    quit out of each game. Now I have a "game played" count on all three games.
    I'm not sure if I may hang onto this iPod Nano or possibly look into an iTouch.
    If I sell this new one on eBay, I would like to know how to reset the "game counts"
    back to 0 or the original "default" of no game counts showing.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    By the way, why would Apple even need to show a "game played count" on any of
    the iPod Nano games ... very weird.

    I think the only way you can reset play counts on games is if you do a full restore of the ipod. But, then again, if you plan on selling it on ebay, it'd be probably be best if you do the restore, that way it'd be like opening a brand new ipod for the new owner.
    As for why Apple would want to keep track of game counts...I have no idea.

  • Is there a way to reset the battery to make it last longer without getting a new battery?

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8GB and the battery was ruined by accidentaly overcharging it a few times. I was wondering if there was a way to fix the battery so it returns to the charge it is supposed to hold. I currently have without getting a new battery, or replacing it. Please respond.

    Don't know of any way to "restore" a lithium ion battery like you could do when rejuvinating a nicad type battery.  If the lithium ion battery has reached a stage where it will not service the needs of your device, you need to replace it.
    Usually the lithium ion batteries don't suffer much from overcharging because the proper charger will limit the charging current to a trickle.  Lithium ion batteries are more apt to suffer by letting it discharge to an almost zero state, and letting it stay that way for a period of time.
