Do I need to Deauthorize CS5?

The hard drive in my iMac has been recalled by Apple and is going to be replaced. Do I need to deauthorize my CS5 software before it's replaced? I'm planning on restoring all my software from a backup.

Yes, the best practice is to deauthorize your CS5 before you have your hard drive replaced. That way the Adobe system sees that you have 0 computers currently activated. When you go to re-install it will then go through smoothly.

Need to reinstall CS5.5 but do not have the disk - download is just not completing. I do have the serial number but have never got that far!

I need to reinstall CS5.5 but no longer have the install disc. I have tried downloading this directly from Adobe and have used the cleaner tool the download is just not completing. I live on an island so internet speeds can be variable. Can't get a direct contact with Adobe support!!!! Can anyone help?

Here is an alternative link for downloading directly... Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with re

Color management help needed for adobe CS5 and Epson printer 1400-Prints coming out too dark with reddish cast and loss of detail
System: Windows 7
Adobe CS5
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo 1400
Paper: Inkjet matte presentation paper with slight luster
Installed latest patch for Adobe CS5
Epson driver up to date
After reading solutions online and trying them for my settings for 2 days I am still unable to print what I am seeing on my screen in Adobe CS5. I calibrated my monitor, but am not sure once calibration is saved if I somehow use this setting in Photoshop’s color management.
The files I am printing are photographs of dogs with lots of detail I digitally painted with my Wacom tablet in Photoshop CS5 and then printed with Epson Stylus 1400 on inkjet paper 20lb with slight luster.
My Printed images lose a lot of the detail & come out way to dark with a reddish cast and loss of detail when I used these settings in the printing window:
Color Handling: Photoshop manages color, Color management -ICM, OFF no color adjustment.
When I change to these settings in printer window: Color Handling: Printer manages color. Color management- Color Controls, 1.8 Gamma and choose Epson Standard it prints lighter, but with reddish cast and very little detail and this is the best setting I have used so far.
Based on what I have read on line, I think the issue is mainly to do with what controls are set in the Photoshop Color Settings window and the Epson Printer preferences. I have screen images attached of these windows and would appreciate knowing what you recommend I enter for each choice.
Also I am confused as to what ICM color management system to use with this printer and CS5:
What is the best ICM to use with PS CS5 & the Epson 1400 printer? Should I use the same ICM for both?
Do I embed the ICM I choose into the new files I create?
Do I view all files in the CS5 workspace in this default ICM?
Do I set my monitor setting to the same ICM?
If new file opens in CS5 workspace and it has a different embedded profile than my workspace, do I convert it?
Do I set my printer, Monitor and PS CS5 color settings to the same ICM?
Is using the same ICM for all devices what is called a consistent workflow?
I appreciate any and all advice that can be sent my way on this complicated issue. Thank you in advance for your time and kind help.

It may be possible to figure out by watching a Dr.Brown video on the subject of color printing. Adobe tv
I hope this may help...............

I need to deauthorize a PC but did it recently so now can't

I need to deauthorize a PC that I have no access to but iTunes message says that I can only do this once a year so I have to wait until June 2015! I did this with another PC earlier this year. Help!

See Deauthorize your computer using iTunes for details. As long as the "PC you no longer have access to" isn't able to make further purchases without using your password, and whoever has the computer doesn't have the password, then there is nothing to worry about. Although probably a good idea to change your password anyway. The iPads don't count in the limit of 5 mentioned earlier.

2 of my computers have crashed and burned in the last week. One of them was my main computer for itunes. i have 2 issues:
1) i need to deauthorize the other 2 computers in order to authorize my new one.
2)how do i move all of my music etc to the new computer?

Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year.

I need to deauthorize all 5 computers that I have authorised because I have a new mac but I can't deauthorise them because I have done so already this year. How do I authorise my new mac then?

You will have to deauthorise one of the others individually (iTunes menu Store>De-Authorise this computer).

Need to deauthorize again. but systems says I have to wait until february. need to do it now. Spent tons of cash with Apple and need extra special service please

You can still deauthorize an individual computer from the iTunes Menus.
You can de-authorize only once a year 'all' computers from your iTunes account page.

I'm reinstalling Windows 7. What information will I need to reinstall CS5?

Hello,
I'm planning to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7. What will I need to reinstall CS5? Do I just need my serial number? How can I find that? Do I need to contact customer support if I can't find it?
Thanks

You should deactivate your CS5 suite before wiping anything so that you have your activation available. This is usually done by opening one of the applications and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
You will need your serial number. If you own the disc then it should be located on the disc cover. If you registered the software then it should be available thru your Adobe account online. If neither of these work out, then you would have to contact Adobe support directly and provide sufficient evidence that you own the application to see if they will provide you with the serial number.
If you purchased an upgrade version of CS5 you will also need to have the name and serial number for the qualifying older version that you upgraded from.

Simply go ahead installing CS5.5. All you need is the CS3 serial number for verification.

Beamer96 if the software has been registered then it will be under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

I wiped my mac and need to reinstall CS5

I have already registered Adobe CS5. I wiped my mac and need to reinstall CS5 how do I do this off line. I have the disk but was told I could just download direct from Adobe because I've already registered my product.

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
Spermium what are you trying to do online or offline exactly? If you are attempting to reinstall the software after wiping your Mac then you can download a fresh copy of the installation files from Download CS5 products.

My computer crashed. Need to reinstall CS5. Can I download it?

Did you previously purchase the download option? If so then you can follow the directions listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0 to download the software.
If you did not purchase the download option but have lost your installation media then please follow the steps listed at http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html to obtain the installation files.

I need to reinstall CS5, but it required CS2 to be preinstalled, it is no longer supported.

I had to have my hard drive formatted and reset. I lost my programs and need to reinstall CS5.

That is not a requirement. If your CS5 is an Upgrade all you need to install and activate it is your CS5 serial and the serial number of you product that your upgrading. That product does not have to be installed. If It is installed you would not need to enter its serial when you install CS5 and activate it. If it is not installed you need to enter its serial during the install and activation of CS5.

I need to reinstall cs5

i need to reinstall cs5. I had to uninstall it because it was quitting every time I tried to save any documents. (regardless of size) How do I reinstall without paying for it again? I have my serial numbers and whatnot....

Hi,
I am using osx yosemite 10.10.2
I have 16 g of memory.
I have 258G free out of 500G total of storage.
I just got this computer in December. I have been using CS5 with no problems at all. Yesterday, I tried to save a very simple file to the desktop and illustrator crashed. It is happening any time I try to save the file to anyplace other than the one file that comes up when I use the "save as" or "save" command. Its happening no matter how small the file is.
I have already removed almost everything from my desktop as one person suggested. I have uninstalled illustrator, run the cleaner program, restarted and re installed illustrator. I have updated illustrator to the current version.
I am at a loss.
Do you know why it would be crashing?
Please help.
Thank you.
