FAQ: How to deactivate an Adobe product, or My computer crashed, how do I install on a new one?

What is Activation?
When you purchase an Adobe product, your license allows you to install on two computers. To enforce this limit (and prevent others from using what you have paid for), your serial number comes with two Activations. Activation happens when you launch the product for the first time (it does not happen during the installation process). Your Adobe product contacts the Adobe activation servers and lets us know that you are using the product on a specific computer (using an anonymous, unique machine code). If you'd like to move your product to a new computer, simply uninstall the application, which lets you deactivate it from the computer.
I have already installed on two computers, and one of them crashed, what do I do?
Often you will find yourself in a situation that a computer has crashed and you had an activated Adobe product on that system. Depending on how much you use the Adobe product, this could be a major issue. If you have crashed your first computer and have not yet installed on a second, then there is nothing to worry about, simply install and use the product as normal. Obviously you can't uninstall and deactivate the product on the dead computer. At this point, you will have to contact our customer service department to have your activations cleared up from the back-end servers. This should be a very quick, painless process to accomplish. Simply call: 1-800-642-3623

Hello Don,
I think there may be a misunderstanding on your part. The CDs that you receive as part of Developer Suite do not actually contain "updates" to a previously installed version of LabVIEW; they are stand-alone installers. Every quarterly shipment of the Developer Suite CDs contains the full version of LabVIEW, along with the included toolkits and other National Instruments software.
In other words, if you have any set of Developer Suite CDs, you can start a new install of LabVIEW et al. immediately. You don't need any so-called "original" CDs.
Good luck!
Mike N.

    Hi Craig
    Unfortunately, in your case, there isn't really a way to separate them as far as I can think.
    You could try restoring from a backup, and choosing an older backup perhaps

  • My computer crashed and I had to get a new one. But my adobe software license is stuck on the old one. I want to transfer it to my new computer. How do I do this?

    I Need to deactivate my license on my old computer and put it on my new one, but I can't because my hard drive crashed. How do this?

    Just install it on your new computer and activate it with your serial number.
    If you have too many activatins, Contact Adobe Customer Care.

  • Computer Crash - how to deactivate so I can install on a new computer

    My computer just crashed and therefore I will be buying a new computer soon. I had the adobe suite on my old computer along with lightroom and was wondering how to go about deactivating them on that computer so I can reinstall them on my new computer? Also when I go to  install it on my new computer can I do this by just having my serial numbers?

    You are allowed to have two machines with activated installations, and you can deactivate/reacivate as needed for new machines or whatnot.  So you do not necesssarily need to deactivate the inaccessible installation, though it is nice to have the extra activation available.
    You need to contact Adobe Support thru chat to get the deactivation performed.  For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system was it running on and will it be running on?
    On how many computers do you already have this same purchased activated serial number? Assuming just the computer that crashed?
    If just that one crashed computer, then just install the program from your installation files or installation disc.
    But, make sure your installation files or installation disc for the crashed computer will be supported by the new computer.
    If you already have the same purchased activated serial number on two computers (crashed and another one), then you will need to deactivate
    this purchased activated serial number for the other non crashed computer before trying to install on the new computer.
    We can give you more details on Deactivation once we know the program version.
    Adobe allows the purchased activated serial number on no more than 2 of your computers. And you cannot use them at the same time.
    Please review. If any questions or need clarification, please ask.
    Thank you.

    Add On...If more sorting out is required, then Adobe will need to do it since it is the only one to take care of activation issues. We are not Adobe.
    Rather user to user forum.

    if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
    and activate with your serial.
    if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps.  the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

  • I had to deactivate PhotoShop for service on my computer.  How do I reactivate it?

    I had to deactivate PhotoShop for service on my computer.  How do I reactivate it?

    My answer assumed he would start up Photoshop,get a screen to license the software,and would follow the prompts instead of posting a question and waiting for a response.
    My experience in deactivating the serial number type is that you are not asked to re-enter your serial number unless you checked the box removing the serial number. It starts up normally. The Help menu would let you know you have to activate it if you didn't get a prompt to do that on start up.
    I'm sure I answered the question directly given my experience.

  • How to deactivate Photosh.El.12 on old computer

    I want to install PE12 on new PC, but software is already installed on two PC's.  I know I have to deactivate on my old computer before installing PE12 on new one.  But I cann't find an option in the program where to do the deactivation.  Can anyone help me with this problem ?

    V12 uses the new 'sign-in' process rather than activation. So you can install it on as many computers as you like but only two can be signed in at any one time. So instead of deactivate you use Help> Sign Out.
