Creative Suite CS 4 Licensing Issue

Hi there, a few month ago I installed the Creative Suite in a computer but then suddenly that computer OS got broken so I formatted and install a different OS and re-install the CS again, and then last week the computer died. So I bought a new one and I'm install the CS4 but now I get a message that I've already activated the suite in two pcs, so my question is how can I deactivate the license if the computer is broken? The hard disk is ok, but I have to format it in order to work in a new computer , what could I do in that case?
Thanks.
Michael

Try this method outlined by Adobe:
You can use the following method to initiate the Java runtime installation or confirm it is currently installed.
Go to Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences.
Open the Java Preferences.
If Java is not installed, you receive the following message:         
“To open “Java Preferences," you need a Java runtime. Would you like to install one now?”

  • Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server

    Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?

    The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
    I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
    Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
    Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
    See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
    I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
    Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices.

  • Can I transfer my Creative suite CS 6 License without my original CS5 Disks?

    Hi,
    I bought Creative suite CS5 premium (mac) but I have lost the original disks in a recent move, I have recently upgraded to 5.5 with the free cs6 upgrade which turned up last week.
    My circumstances have now chaged and I would like to sell and transfer the product/license but can the new owner install the product with just the 5.5 & 6 disks?
    I have record of the serial number for CS5 - would that work?
    I hope this makes sense

    Some users have reported success using the steps listed under http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369.  It should be noted though that this will take you to the instructions to initiate a direct download of Creative Suite 6.  You will need to navigate the Prodesigntools site to locate the instructions for CS5.

  • Creative Suite 4 student licensing question

    I just purchased what I guess is the student edition of Creative Suite 4 from the college bookstore online.
    The front cover says:
    Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
    Student Licensing
    Academic ID required
    Serial number required for installation
    Here is my question:
    I own two Macs.  Can I install this software on both of them, or only on one of them?

    Yes, from what I understand you can very well put it on two computers as long as you are the operator of both machines.

  • Creative Suite 5.5 Installation Issues

    I purchased Creative Suite Production Premium 5.5 online and have the hard disk copy and serial number for it. When I open the setup.exe file through the disk a pop up saying initializing installer runs but once the bar fills up nothing else ever happens and I'm unable to actually install the programs I want. Thanks for any help you can give, I'm not exactly an expert on these types of things.

    Can you check the solutions mentioned in this thread and let us know if you still have problems?

  • Creative Suite Multi User License

    is it possible to buy a multi user license for CS4 or CS5 for PC?  I only need 3 users.

    Do you know how amny you need to buy and where you buy them from?
    Quoting MichaelKazlow <[email protected]>:
    It is possible, but I think 3 users is too few.

  • Creative suite CS3 lost Licensing and stopped working. support sent me to a site to download CS3 application but got error 404. How do I download?

    Adobe support sent me to a  Photoshop suite CS3 site but when I clicked the download for mac option I was redirected to a site with an error 404.

    Download CS3 products
    For anything beyond that you will have to be a lot more specific and provide proper system information or details like what browser you use.

  • Licensing options for Adobe Creative Suite Software - Concurrent license

    We have bought Adobe Web Premium CS4 product and at the moment it’s our intention to upgrade this product to the new release.
    This product is licensed to one PC and it’s used, mostly, to repair acrobat documents and sometimes a few pictures which mean it’s not used intensively.
    As we have another service that needs to use adobe Dreamweaver, Flash and Photoshop we would like to know if there is any kind of license that can be installed in one server and be used by other PCs, as long as the license is available and not in use by other PC.
    We have other products with this kind of functionality, like AutoCAD, ArcGIS.
    Does Adobe have any kind of this licensing method?
    With my best regards,
    Pedro

    At this point you can no longer buy CS5, only CS6.

  • Creative Suite Education Edition Licensing in Australia

    I have been round in circles for ages! I cannot find a difinitive answer to my question, or even somwhere to ask it! Why can't I just email somebody?
    While doing an online graphic design course in 2011 i qualified for the Education Edition of CS5. (NOT the student edition)
    So my question;
    In Australia, can I use the Education Edition of CS5 for commercial purposes - can I use it to make money at all - or do I have to upgrade to the commercial license?
    I understand that I can upgrade to CS6 in the store, and that would be the full version. But at the moment I can't even afford that! So would I be doing something illegal if I used my Education Edition to make money?
    If noone can help me on this question, can you give me a link to where I should ask it? No matter where I click; contact, support, help, I keep getting pushed back to the FAQ or forum with no answers to my question.

    I know of no restriction on academic versions other than that prohibiting you from transferring the license.

  • Creative Suite multiple licenses

    Can I still buy the creative suite with multiple licenses in a hard copy (not on the creative cloud)?

    There are no hard copies. Adobe announced that physical shipping would phase out in March and short of a few leftover stock packages, you won't find any. But you can still buy CS6 as downloads:

  • Windows 8 Release Preview/Photoshop CS6 Licensing issue

    I bought and installed Photoshop CS6 on Windows Consumer Preview and it worked flawlessly. I then installed Windows 8 Release Preview. This had to be a clean install. I didn't know I had to deactivate Photoshop before doing the clean install. Installed without a problem. Now when I try and run CS6 it says that the license has expired. I have done all the web and Adobe support told me to do but still has the same issue. Other than waht this article says: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-licensing-product-expired-cs4.html Adobe support isn't interested in helping.
    Can anybody help?

    I do know there's at least one person on this forum who is using Windows 8 (Kelly is I believe his name) and has gotten Photoshop activated properly.
    I've been testing Windows 8 for the past several days (in virtual machines).  Microsoft has actually made it worse to use in the release version.  They've completely removed Aero Glass, for example, so now everything just looks flat and lifeless.  I've written a book that describes how to configure and augment the OS so as to get work done with it.  But I'm not sure people are going to want to upgrade to it wiith it looking this bad!
    Have you tried removing Photoshop CS6 and using the Creative Suite Removal Tool to clean remnants of it up, then reinstalling?  I'm sure the telephone support people would have suggested that; I'm just confirming.
    Only thing I can imagine is that Windows 8's UAC system is somehow getting in the way of Photoshop retaining its activation data.  It's no longer possible, using the Windows 8 UI, to completely disable UAC, though it is still possible to do it through registry manipulation (something best done by power users and system gurus).  If one does apps will no longer run in the "UI formerly known as Metro" - which suits me fine, but may not be good for most folks.
    Have you tried running the installer As Administrator?

  • CC 2014 Adobe suite and iCloud connection issue

    Ever since I bought the new iCloud and Abobe Creative suite, I've had issues. The apps were working up until now, but the iCloud connection never worked. It kept scrolling. I noticed that when I would shut down my computer and relaunch, it would launch all the programs I had open and create a scrolling issue. Mind you, I still use the old CS5 programs and I am mainly using the CC for Dreamweaver right now. I've been have to force quit things in start-up. So, I don't know if this has to do with the iCloud issue or not.
    The main thing that has happened today, is that my apps don't work now. It's telling that I need to change my firewall settings. Why now? Anyway, I'm frustrated for two reasons. I subject to working on things based on internet connection. This is why I keep my old apps. But, now I'm frustrated because of what is happening on start up and the fact that I can't my Dreamweaver app.
    I'm in the middle of a project. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    First, this is not Apple... it is Cloud, not iCloud
    Second, for download problems, please read https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1499014
    -try some steps such as changing browsers and turning off your firewall
    -also flush your browser cache so you are starting with a fresh browser
