"Activation Limit Reached" - I Have Since Retired and Computer No Longer Available
I previously purchased CS3 Design Premium and installed on computers where I worked. I've since retired and left the company, but before leaving I uninstalled all software that I had personally purchased (unfortunately, without deactivation). It has been several years, and those computers are no longer in service. I recently have a need to use the CS3 package, but cannot proceed because my activation code indicates that I've reached the limit of installations authorized. Is there anything that can be done to help me?
If you contact Adobe Support by chat or phone they can take care of the deactivations for you as long as you can prove you own the license.

Need info on how to get serial numbers for my creative suite.
Atwittsend I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the installed Adobe Creative software titles. It is likely reinstalling Mac OS 10.9 will lead to damage of the licensing files. Please make sure to use the uninstallers located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.

PSE 9 Activation Limit reached
Purchased PSE 9 via ebay. Arrived OK complete package. Installed with no problems, but today it came up with "Activation Limit reached".
Talked to seller and he has deinstalled (but probably not deactivated) the software. Any ideas or help appreciated. ThanksAgain thankyou, I had already sussed that it had been installed on two seperate machines. However the seller is far less aware than I am about how this works. Having said that (and having read the Adobe doc) it also appears that I have no idea either. If there is no easy way to resolve this the seller will be having to refund me anyway. I always thought the IBM AS400 licenses to be overly complicated but Adobe has taken it a new level. Back tp PSE 2 for me I think.
Just to complicate matters, when I first loaded the software I actually registered the software in my name with no problems at all.........
Thanks again -
Account Limit Reached what does that mean and how to get rid of it?

This cause me not to set up iCloud, so now what?I found this out on another thread
There is no solution. There are limits to how many iCloud accounts that a device can have activated. It doesn't matter that it was by a previosu owner, it's the device that matters. Everything you do using an iDevice is tied to it's ID number, even Mac computers. This applies to the Apple store as well as the app store and everything iCloud related. -

My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....
It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

Hi, my internet sharing was working perfectly in 10.6.8, sharing my vpn connection to my apple tv with no problems. I then upgraded to 10.7 etc and internet sharing stopped. I have since reverted my computer back to 10.6.8 but no luck still, thoughts?

Why I cant view my picture on my iphoto and if I try to copy to any folder it Shows "The item on the clipboard cant be pasted to this location. (One or more of the item may have been deleted or are no longer available) "
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. Describe the problem as fully as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have. -

Activation limit reached on FM10 with new computer hardware, unable to contact Adobe to resolve.
Installed new motherboard in computer and now FM10 says it needs to reactivate but has reached its activation limit. Had this problem once before a couple years ago and there was a phone number to call at Adobe to resolve the issue. The new Adobe web support system won't even get to a contact-us page, it keeps recycling back to "select your product" page. Need adobe phone number to get my copy of Framemaker 10 to reactivate.
`ou are not likely to find any help over the weekend, and phobe support is primarily for their Cloud products these days though you can sometimes get lucky.

Photoshop Elements 9 - Activation limit reached, but other computer burnt up
My last laptop burst into flames, and therefore I cannot "deactivate" that license. I installed Adobe on my new computer, but it just gives me the message that I have to deactivate another license. The computer that burnt up was the only license I ever activated. I still have the original disks, but I cannot use the program that I bought and paid for. Certainly there must be some way to notify Adobe that the other computer can never run the program again, and get access to my program. I cannot be the only person who ever had a computer stop working without first being able to deactivate a license.
Go to this link and follow the online instructions:

You need to select your product and choose to open a chat line with Adobe Staff. We can't help you with activation and de-activation on a dead machine.
