Can't deactivate old CS3 to install on new computer

I have Dreamweaver CS3 and then Photoshop/Indesign/Illustrator CS5. I purchased a new computer and was able to deactivate CS5 fine, but CS3 didn't include anything about deactivating the account. I assumed I could it online or some place else, so reformatted the old computer and gave it away to relatives. But now after installing Dreamweaver CS3 and inputing my serial numbers, I get a "maximum number of activations allowed" error. Any help on this? I couldn't find a live chat link anywhere, either, even though that's what Adobe Twitter support said to use.

Hi momotarutaru,
See Activation & Deactivation Help. At the bottom of this page, a chat button appears whenever a support agent is available to chat with you.
Thanks.

  • Old "Macintosh HD" installed on new computer

    My G5 OSX 10.4 machine died, so I'm trying to salvage some of the data from my old HD.
    The machine I'm using to do the salvage is a Mac Pro. I've installed the old HD in bay 2, and the startup drive for this computer is in bay 1.
    The drive mounts on the desktop just fine as "Macintosh HD", and there is also the Mac Pro's startup disk, also called "Macintosh HD", mounted on the desktop. If I try to explore the old HD, there are little red "do not enter" symbols over a bunch of the folders. When I try to open them it says "could not be opened because you do not have sufficient privileges".
    I'm afraid to do anything described in former posts about changing permissions because they all seem to require going into Terminal, and typing the drive name in quotes. I'm afraid of screwing up the new startup disk, which has the same name.
    Is there some way to 'run as...' when I open those folders so I could use my old login and password? Should I run a "repair permissions" from disk utility?
    It is important to mention that I'm not the administrator on this new computer, but can ask for help if it's absolutely necessary.
    Thanks

    if you are not the administrator you can't (and shouldn't) change those permissions on the drive and you can't access the areas that you don't have permissions for. you should also rename the second drive to avoid any confusion (that will require admin access too). If you don't ever plan to use this drive as a boot drive, you can turn off ownership on it.
    this will give you access to everything.
    select the drive and enter command+I. this will bring up an info window. expand the permissions section at the bottom, unlock the lock (only an admin can do that) and check the box "ignore ownership on this volumes".

  • Why can't I activate my Dreamweaver CS3 program on my new computer?

    Why can't I activate my Dreamweaver CS3 program on my new computer?

    After 4 hours of searching on internet and trying to be in contact with Adobe support, I found this forum with people with the same problem i have.
    I need to deactivate Acrobat Web Premium CS3 on an older XP machine and activate it on a new Win7 Enterprise.
    The application is on both machines successfully installed/registered and I can continue to click on Help | activate/deactivate (On both machines activate and deactivate is not greyed out),
    but I’m receiving the message Activation - No Connection
    I’ve checked the internet connection, proxy server  and host file, all are correct.

    Old computer died and I am trying to install Illustrator CS5 on new computer.
    Last version I had before CS5 was/is Illustrator 10,which has been installed on new computer.
    CS5 install says I need CS2,3 or 4 before installing 5, but old computer went directly from 10 to CS5.
    How can I repeat this 10 to CS5 install?

    It does not seem likely that CS6 was upgraded from version 10.  You might want to check your purchase history in your Adobe account to see if there is some missing link in the chain of purchases you made.
    You can always try contacting Adobe support thru chat to see if they can find information or otherwise assist you in this matter.

  • How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot get the music off it.

    How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    I have  anew computer and my ipod was attached to the old one, how can i have my music download to the new computer and sincronize it.

    If you no longer have the old computer this will be very helpful and If you have other content - apps, books, movies, that you want to transfer to the iTunes library - you need to transfer your purchases from the iPod to the computer as well.
    Take a look.

    This works the same way whether you have a Mac or a PC.

    Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • Installing old Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    I have an old version of Photoshop Elements and a new MAC. It was previously installed on my PC which crashed. But the new MAC won't let me install this software - it tells me there is an error with the install.

    OK... so this is an OLD version - it is 4.0 (2006). My MAC is running OS X Version 10.8.2. The installation begins and some of the files begin installing then it quits and the message reads: "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Thanks
