Deactivate software from old pc (that has been formatted)

I can't use my serial number; I get this message:
"The serial number (my #) is already in use by the maximum allowed computers.
You need to deactivate another computer within 30 days to use this product."
It turns out that the IT guys formatted my old pc. I was assigned with this new desktop a couple of weeks ago.
So my question would be: how can I deactivate a software that doesn't exist anymore?
Thanks for your time.

I chatted with Adobe support and they helped me solve the issue. Thanks!

  • How do I reformat an IPod Touch for Windows that has been formatted for a Mac?  All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat.  My IPod is not being recognized by ITunes or in Device Manager.

    I have an IPod Touch that has been formatted for a Mac.  All instructions I have been able to find use ITunes or Device Manager to reformat the device for Windows.  This cannot be done if Windows doesn't recognize the device.  Is there another way to set the device back to the factory settings directly on the device without using ITunes?

    Ipod touch is not formatted one way or the other at all.
    Just sync it to the new computer using itunes.

  • Can you get information from an iPhone that has been remote wiped?

    Hello,
    My girlfriend thought her iPhone was stolen today, so she did a remote wipe so no one could steal her information off her phone.  It ended up that she had just left her iPhone someplace and was able to get it back. 
    Now that she's got the phone back, she's trying to restore it, but it looks like the iPhone was set to back up to iCloud, but never did because of an error (she had no idea she was getting), and it seems that since it was set up to back up to iCloud, the last iTunes backup was from before she got her iPhone 4s (so it's 5 months old).
    Is there anyway to pull information off of an iPhone after it's been remote wiped?  I have a program for pulling information off of digital camera memory cards that have been formatted.  Is there something like this for iPhones?
    Thanks,

  • How to deactivate one of our computers that has been destroyed by a tornado.

    I have one computer that I have the cloud on and works fine but my other computer got sucked up by the tornado. How do I deativate a computer I don't have in order to put it on a new one.

    Hi gleason1012,
    I have checked & found that it is already installed on two computers as you have mentioned.
    To use it again, please download the CC on the new computer & try to activate it, when you try to activate, it will give you a prompt to deactivate from previous installs or deactivate both the install from this new activation on the new computer,deactivate it from here. it will deactivate both the computers including the one you have for the works.
    Now activate it on this computer, for your previously installed computer, reactivate it by:
    1. log out of the CC Desktop App & log back in
    2. Launch any product & "license the software" & sign in, it will reactivate.(Follow these steps in the old work computer)

  • How to restart an old G4 that has been in storage for years?

    I have an old G4 that was stored in our basement for years. The last time I used it was 6 years ago and it worked fine. Now it won't fire up. The internal battery has been replaced and when I press the start button the light comes on, the light for the Zip drive comes on but that is it. If I let go of the button, nothing.
    I'd really like to get this thing fired up or at the very least transfer the files from the hard drive to my MacBook pro.
    Any ideas? I did do a search here but couldn't find a solution.
    db

    That number looks up to this:
    Everymac.com: Apple Power Macintosh G4 400 (AGP)
    AGP refers to Accelerated Graphics Port. Those models were a replacement for the earliest G4 tower model, which had only a PCI graphics slot. They were long-lasting and solid, until Apple added the second processor in the Mirrored Drive Doors model and Heat and Cooling issues became a serious problem. But do not ever power it up without the processor heatsink in place.
    After you replace the battery, the PRAM can remember. But What it remembers is garbage. You should attempt to reset the PRAM.

  • How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

    I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

    Hi empty,
    Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....
    Cheers,

  • HELP!!! Can I get back files from a folder that has been copied over?

    I had a file in the trash with the same name as a file on my desktop. I accidentally started copying it from the trash to my desktop. It erased some of the files I had on my desktop in that folder that were very important, before I could stop it from copying. Is there any way to get the files back? They had been on my desktop for a few months. I'm thinking that maybe they are stored somewhere on the computer. I tried a search but came up with nothing. I usually back up to a external hard drive but I didn't this time and I'm paying for it now!

    When a file is erased, the space on the drive that the data occupies is not necessarily erased. It is just unallocated, so that other new data can use it. However, until that new data overwrites that same physical space on the drive, your old data may still be recoverable.
    To do this, you need to use a data recovery tool. There are tools that specialize in data recovery, such as
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    and other tools have a have multiple functions, including data recovery
    http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=202&Itemid=107
    If you want to try recovering the data using such a tool, you should stop using the Mac (or use it as little as possible). Any use of the Mac will make it more likely that the space occupied by the old data will be overwritten. If that happens, the portion that is overwritten will not be recoverable.
    This is a good example of when Time Machine (part of Leopard and Snow Leopard) would be extremely helpful. It does backups to an external drive automatically, in the background, once per hour that the Mac is active. You just set it up and then forget about it. You can get any file back that you accidentally erase, even an older version of it.

  • I copied downloaded songs to a new computer.  These songs were downloaded with an old account that has been closed.  How do I open these songs now?

    I copied all my music to a brand new computer.  I have songs that I purchased from iTunes in the list that are from a closed Apple ID.  I can't open them now.  What steps do I take to get them to work again?

    If these tracks were purchased prior to the iTunes Store removing copy protection, the computer would need to be authorized to the iTunes Store account under which the tracks were purchased. If you remember the old account ID and password, you can try authorizing - go to the Store menu in iTunes and select the "authorize computer" command - and see if it will work. If it doesn't, or you know for certain that the account was disabled, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store and ask for assistance:

  • HT201250 how do i remove all backups from another macbook that has been sold

    How do i remove all backup data from time capsule for an old mac?

    I have Finder set up to display any attached hard drives (done via Finder Preferences/Sidebar) where the hard drives are listed as devices. The hard drives are listed under "Shared" in the actual Finder sidebar. I selected the network hard drive containing the spare image bundle I want to delete which leads to whatever I named the next level which allows me to connect to/mount the hard drive, which shows the hard drive contents. I select the spare image bundle and select delete.
    We may be into a terminology difference problem, which, gee people never have that problem :-)))))
    What is confusing me is your use of "shared folder", but I think that may be the place to start if the folder is actually a hard drive. If not, try the devices. Looking at both shouldn't do any harm.
    What you are looking for is something with whatever the name of your old computer was which when selected shows "Sparse Disk Image Bundle."
    You may need whatever user name and password you had on your old computer to actually connect to/mount the hard drive.
    Hopefully this is clearer  than mud. I've had a few liquid refreshment glasses :-))

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iphone4 that has been taken more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    Can anyone tell me if it's possible to retrieve photos from my iPhone 4 that I took more than 30 days ago on to my pc?

    I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
    My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
    The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
    Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them.
