Deactivate after uninstall

I installed Premiere Elements 8 on a laptop and a PC.  Uninstalled on laptop to install on another PC.  Unable to deactivate license on the laptop and cannot reinstall without
30 day free trial.  Followed directions to reinstall, select Help, select deactivate but it is grayed out.

Click on the link above. I have pre-set it for Serial Number Issues or Activating my Product.
Look to 2. Tell us what you need help...
You should see under that "Select a topic from list". At the end of that is an arrow which should be pointed downward to see the selection of choices. Serial Number Issues or Activating my Product should be on the list of choices that you see. So, one way or another assure that the choice for "2" is Serial Number Issues or Activating my Product.
Next click on the statement "I still need help" to bring up Adobe Chat.
But before you contact Adobe consider...
a. Given you have Premiere Elements 8 and the purchased serial number on computer 1 and computer 2 and you want to use that serial number on a 3rd computer.
b. BEFORE you do anything else, you need to go to the opened project on computer 2, Help Menu/Deactivate and click on Deactivate. You do not have to uninstall the program.
c. Then go to computer 3 and install Premiere Elements 8 on that computer, using your purchased serial number for that project.
Have you done all that in that sequence?
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

  • Deactivate PS CS3 after uninstalling.

    I uninstalled CS3, thinking it would give me the same deactivation script as Lightroom 1 did.
    Now that I'm trying to reactivate it on a different computer, I found that the previous copy hadn't been deactivated.
    Do I need to reinstall, activate and deactivate CS3 on the original computer?  Or can I deactivate it some other way?
    Btw, does anybody know why Adobe software doesn't uninstall and deactivate previous versions, like most other software?  It seems rather burdensome to have to do all this seperately, not to mention the disk space used for ppl who aren't aware of this problem.

    Mark,
    Welcome to the forum. I cannot comment on Lightroom, as I only did beta testing on it, and have not chosen to buy it.
    Most Adobe programs, that require Activation, also require that you Deactivate, prior to uninstalling.
    This is just a guess, as I have never tried to buck the order of things. I would guess that you will need to reinstall, THEN Deactivate, then uninstall. You might be able to bypass this, if you call Customer Support.
    Wish I had a definitive answer, but I have always Deactivated, prior to uninstalling.
    Good luck,

  • Why can't I deactivate or uninstall CS6 on Mountain Lion

    Hi Folks,
    Having a frustrating few days. I work for a large company that do everything by the book when it comes to software (and rightly so). I upgraded from Premium CS 5.5 on Mountain Lion to Premium CS 6. I downloaded the trial version and successfully input my new serial number and only after the installation had completed did all the problems start to manifest. Everytime I opened an app I would get an error message telling me that the software did not install properly. My acrobat would not open or respond. I tried to unistall CS6 and ran the adobe cleaner app to see would that resolve the problem, and it didn't.
    I ran the installation software again and still have the same problems, I cannot deactivate or uninstall it now. There seems to be no CS uninstaller like there was in CS4, alI the uninstaller apps aliases (in the indivdual apps folders) are just shortcut aliases that don't respond. I would like to completely remove it now.
    Please can some advise what I can to either 'manually' deactivate it and remove it. Really need help on this!!!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Anyone? Pretty please?

  • When reverting to purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro point product, after uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop (and CC-based Acrobat XI Pro), how do I eliminate request to renew my subscription?

    Creative Cloud just wasn't working for me, so after several years of frustration with being abroad and not online when the program decided to require online verification, I'm ditching Creative Cloud and reverting to the purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro point product. However, after uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop (and CC-based Acrobat XI Pro), it still wants to go online and check my CC subscription, disallowing use of the newly installed point product version from a several year-old ESD file (and the more recent AcrobatUpd11010.dmg file).
    Anyone have an idea of how to eliminate request to renew my subscription?
    If, as a journalist, I've have these issues over the past two years, including this final insult when I'm trying to get away from CC, it can't be a one-off problem. So I'd like to hear details about others who've had a similar issue with reverting from CC back to a point product or to CS.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim ,
    Please refer to the following link to cancel your subscription of Creative Cloud .

  • Left Over Files after Uninstall

    IBM PC running Win 8.1 in Desktop Mode
    I uninstalled PSE 8 several years ago and installed PSE 9.  I now want to uninstall PSE 9 and replace it with PSE12.  In addition PSE 8 still appears as being installed and if I select Uninstall A message appears stating that "This action is only available for products currently installed.  However when performing the uninstall using a "Powerful" uninstaller over a 100 files referring to PSE 8 still remain on my computer.  It seems that these files are slowing up PSE 9 start-up and after installing 12 I don't want both the 8 & 9 files in addition to 12 to remain on my hard drive if they are not necessary.  I think there were also some references to PSE 8 in the registry also.  I would like to know if it would be okay to delete those remaining files manually?
    Thanks

    If you navigate to C:/Program Files/ you can safely delete the folder called iTunes after uninstalling the software. iTunes intentionally leaves some library files behind so that if you update iTunes, or remove and reinstall it, you don't have to worry about having your library backed up or losing your files, or anything of that nature.
    Microsoft offers an option called the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, which is good for ensuring an application is completely removed from the computer after uninstalling via Add/Remove Programs. It is available for download at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    Launch it by going to Start > All Programs > Windows Installer Clean Up
    Select the application you wish to remove, and then click "Remove"
    Hope this is helpful

  • After uninstalling Google Chrome links in e-mail don't work any more

    I have Firefox on my computer. I wanted to try out Chrome. After uninstalling Chrome and reinstating Firefox as my default browser, several things don't work properly, especially links in emails. I tried suggested solution of changing registry key for .html from ChromeHTML to htmlfile or FirefoxHTML but neither works. I just want to be able to click the link and open up the relevant web page.

    As someone else has this problem I reply to my own question. Only uninstallling and reinstalling Firefox cures the problem.

  • After installing LV 7, MAX 3, NIDAQ 7, can not target to LV 6.1 RT even after uninstalling and loading older version.

    We have started using LV 7 for all of our new projects but still have to support a number of older projects made in LV 6.1. After installing LV 7, MAX 3 and NIDAQ 7, we can not do remote DAQ configuration on the older version of RT and can not target to the RT system either. We used NIs uninstall for MAX and NIDAQ and then reinstalled the older versions, but we still can not remote DAQ configuration. Computers that have the older versions of MAX and NIDAQ and have never had the newer versions installed have no problem with remote DAQ configuration or targeting.
    How can we go back to the previous version of MAX and NIDAQ and get it to work? What is left
    after uninstalling the newer versions?

    Rob,
    I would recommend creating a Service Request on-line and contacting an Application Engineer. There are several possible reasons that software might not be completely removed, and we have some utilities that will make sure this does not happen. There also might be some issues with downloading the code to the "target". We could quickly reformat the controller and make sure to get the older software on the system.

  • Windows 7 startup error after uninstall of Photosmart 6510

    After uninstalling Photosmart 6510 and software, get error message: "There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Photosmart 6510 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll" when Windows 7 starts up.

    Sounds like the software was not completely removed (or atleast Windows still is looking for something). Microsoft make a tool that should be able to help, it is called FixIt. Click the link below for more details:

  • After uninstalling nightly, I can no longer set firefox as default browser for email links and they no longer open.

    When I try to change the default firefox protocols in windows, only the nightly shows and I can not unclick it. When I attempt to click on a link in an email (Windows Live) I get "Class not registered"
    I presently have IE set as my default because it is the only possible way to open email links.

    You can install both win32 and win64 Firefox Nightly builds on a 64-bit Windows computer. As you should know, all Firefox nightly builds are intended for testing only. If you downloaded your Firefox nightly build from http://nightly.mozilla.org/ then you got the win32 installer. (win64 installers are available from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ and possibly elsewhere: [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=12694481#p12694481 ref.])
    Anyway, the bug report I referred to earlier ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=870312 Bug 870312] - Installing Nightly causes "Class not registered" error on click on link in other apps after uninstall) fits your issue ("broken" uninstaller). It was triaged as a "Shell Integration" Firefox bug for x86_64 Windows 8.
    Whether you had the 32-bit or 64-bit Firefox nightly installed, you can try reinstalling a more recent build of that, and then uninstall it again. That worked for a Windows user who had problems uninstalling Firefox Nightly x64 as reported in this thread:
    *http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2473175
    If that doesn't work, also try reinstalling Firefox 25, to see if that helps matters.
    I'm not the best person to help you, though, since I'm not testing Firefox nightly on my Win7 x64 computer. Hopefully someone will be along that can help you better, or you could try on the MozillaZine Firefox Builds forum (it's linked from the nightly.mozilla.org page).

    Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
    When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
    My pc is working with windos 8.
    Is there a solution?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    I still get plug in failure even after uninstall and reinstalled adobe flash to my mac os x 10.7.5 (4 bit) with flash 16.0.0.235 how do I get this fixed??? HELP

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

    You might find this article helpful: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. 

  • ICloud keeping login details after uninstall from PC

    Recently in order to deal with an issue I had with iCloud and Outlook, I uninstalled iCloud completly. Before uninstalling I opened the control panel and signed out of iCloud, I then proceeded to uninstall.
    After uninstalling, I re-downloaded iCloud and installed it. Once the installation was complete I opened iCloud (from the last page of the installation). When it opened, it was SIGNED IN before I had provided my credentials!
    Apple, your attention please!!
