Deactivating CS4 on failing computer running XP, upgrading to new computer running Win7.  I have CS4 installed. Do I deactivate on each product or will a single deactivation cover all?

I have CS4 installed on this computer but computer is failing and I will have to get a new one. Do I deactivate on each product or will a single deactivation cover all? Also, I see that all products are now on the cloud so is CS4 still an active product?

With any Suite, launch one app (e.g. Photoshop) and click Help > Deactivate to deactivate the entire suite.
CS4 has not been an active product since CS5 shipped in 2010. We've since had CS5, CS6, CC (subscription only) and now CC 2014 (subscription only).
Also, it depends on what you mean by active. You can still download, install and activate CS4.
However Adobe no longer does any work on CS4 and no longer supports it via Customer Service Chat etc.

  • Question about installing logic 9 upgrade on new computer

    Hello!
    I just purchased a new mac pro (woo hoo... finally) and the logic 9 upgrade pack. I own Logic 8 but I'm not sure if I should install it before installing the logic 9 upgrade.
    Will I miss out on any parts of the logic 8 sound library, loops, effects, etc by only installing logic 9? I have my S# and am aware installing Logic 8 is not needed, just curious if there are any advantages or disadvantages of installing.
    Thanks

    My information, serial number, is not available.

    I have a n IPhone 4S.  I upgraded to IOS7 and then tried tp go back to my prevous IOS and now my phone will not turn on at all.

    I tried to do the same, but couldn't find ios 6. I even tried  the APPstore, to download the last IOS6 version.
    The most problem is the running out of the battery.
    I've checked each app who is "eating" the most power.
    The battery stoped runaway, when I closed the weather service....
    So for now, I will use regular internet service, and probbaly will do to more app.
    Until, finaly, I will find my self with all the applications closed....:-)
    That will be the sign, to replace my phone to anderoid....:-)
    Till now, there is no any sign from Apple to have a glance to our complanes.

    I'm trying to transfer iTunes from my old computer (under XP) to a new computer under (W/7).  I've downloaded iTunes successfully, but when I try to play something from my library it says I must authorize my computer.  How do I do that?

    Hello Ned,
    Congratulations on your new computer!  It sounds like you need to authorize it with your Apple ID.  Use these steps to authorize your new computer:
    To authorize a computer, follow these steps:
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Authorize This Computer from the menu bar.
    You may need to show the menu bar to see this option in Windows. In earlier versions of iTunes, you can access this option from the Advanced menu.
    Enter your Apple ID and click Authorize.
    You can find those steps and more information at the following link:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

    I bought a new,  faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
    I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
    Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
    I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer.  It has only found 4,000 pix.  I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my  pix with it.  PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
    Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not  separate family from friends etc.  I can't even find my projects.
    I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
    Help.  I am so frustrated.  I am pretty sure  before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files.  When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
    This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

    I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and  12.  I tried to go back and edit,
    but couldn't figure out how.  Sorry,  typing errorC.
