Help needed to deactivate

Hi there.  I loaded PSE8 at the beginning of the year and used it successfully a few times.  I haven't used it for a while and now can not seem to access it, there is no longer an icon on my computer to start it up.  There are files on the hard drive (sorry I am not very computer savvy) and there is an application file called 'Photoelementsfileagent.exe' but if I click on that it brings up a black box with text that says 'Adobe Active File Monitor Service has started'.  I had an idea that I could load up the disk again and it would repair maybe whatever seems to have disappeared but it took me down the route of uninstalling the program.  I halted that because I can't access the program to deactivate it first.  Now I am stuck.  I can't open the program to deactivate it and I don't know what else I can do to run what is clearly already loaded on my computer.  I hope that makes sense to someone who can help me out!  Thank you very much, in anticipation.

It probably did that since you only half way uninstalled it the first time. Reinstall it on the computer it was on then deactivate it if you are moving it to another computer.

Photoelementsfileagent.exe....NO, that is not what you want to be clicking to launch Elements. It's used to track changes made to folders monitored by Adobe Photoshop Element's "Watch Folders" list in its options.
Info on Watched Folders but this is off topic...

If the exe files are still on the computer which I seriously doubt...look for PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe and PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe.

  • Help needed to deactivate CS 5.5

    Hi.
    I'm in quite desperate need of assistance here.
    I need to deactivate CS 5.5 from one of my computers in order to activate it on another (2 activations max. and I need it on 2 machines).
    Problem is that the computer I need to deactivate from is DEAD (hence the need to transfer the activation) and I can't activate on the backup machine until that is done!
    Is there a way around this problem, i.e. an online deactivation for instance?
    Any help is much appreciated
    Karsten

    If you call the number that comes up when you try to activate it a third time, they can deactivate the one related to your dead computer.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Hello, I need to deactivate my Adobe product that is installed on a computer that "Broke" and reinstall it on my new laptop.  Redownload and reactivate it.??

    Hello, I bought and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop.  Since windows crashed and as it was a single user license, I need to deactivate it and redownload it onto my new laptop.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks,

    A single user license provides for having it installed and activated on two machines.
    If you are unable to deactivate on the broken machine then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you do this before installing and activating on the new machine you can save yourself the problem of reactivating it.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

    If you originally purchased a download thru Adobe then there might be a download link in your account online.  There are other options as well.

  • Need to deactivate two computers associated with my PSE 7 serial number.

    Hi, I've installed PSE 7 on a new computer but my serial number is not working.
    I assume the reason is I need to deactivate the two computers associated with the serial number from previous installations.
    I have contacted the chat/help desk and was told to come here for further assistance. I'm currently stuck in a trial period.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    "How can I fix this? "
    deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
    " Do I need to deauthorize all of my computers and then re-authorize the active ones?  "
    Yes.
    " How will this affect my iTunes media, if at all? "
    It will not.
      Is there a way to see a list of the current five computers authorized with my Apple id?"
    No.

  • Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

    Qtn: I have 10 standard elementary search helps in collective standard search help, how to deactivate the 10th elementary search help?

    Hello,
    this topic is still a problem for me, does anybody have an idea.
    Just to show what's my problem:
    Collective Search help KRED does include a SAP append-search help ASH_KRED which holds the elementary search helps KREDC, KREDE, KREDM, KREDW.
    The search helps KREDE, KREDM, KREDW should not be displayed, so I added another Serach-Help-Append ZKRED_CUST at the end of CSH KRED which holds these 3 SH's with the hidden flag.
    That works, the SH's are not shown anymore.
    I also added some other of the Original SAP SH's (e.g. KREDA) with the hidden flag and added changed copies of these (e.g ZKREDA) there to be shown instead.
    All this can be done modification free by appends.
    The folders of the elementary search helps are shown in the order as they are found included in the KRED SH and the append to this SH.
    This means that the not hidden Sh KREDC from ASH_KRED is shown before all the "custimized" ZKREDx -SH's. But we need this SH not very often, so that I want it to displayed al the right-most position of the folders of SH's or at the most down postition of the drop-down-selection of SH's.
    But I have not found any way to do this modification free.
    The only way to archive this is to modify ASH_KRED by setting the Hidden-Flag for KREDC and add this SH at the end of append-SH ZKRED_CUST again.
    But I want avoid this modification.
    So, is there any way to do this without modifing any of the original SAP SH's ?

    I sold a copy of Adobe Photoshop Element 9.0 and I need to deactivate the online registration that’s on 2 computer. How do I do this?

    You need to do it in Full Edit from the menu:
    Help >> Deactivate
    Or you can normally deactivate permanently during un-installing.

  • Do I need to deactivate my Creative Suite 6 before I pickup my new mac pro? or will the migration assistant do all of that?

    I am picking up my new mac pro tomorrow and wasn't sure if I needed to "deactivate" my Adobe products before I change over to my new Mac, or does the "migration assistant" do all the work?   thanks for any help.

    Nope. Migration does not work with any Adobe software. Don't even try it, it will cause a lot of huge problems.
    Deactivate your software on the old computer. Install it from the original installer on the new one, don't forget to install all upgrades which are available in the meantime.

  • I need to deactivate 4 Adobe products

    Hello, sorry for my poor English, i am spanish. I have to format a computer that probably has a windows problem. Before I do that, i need to deactivate the four acrobat products i have installed. The four products are: Indesign, Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS6. The last one is Acrobat professional 11.
    The Photoshop and the Indesign ones have enabled in the help menu the option Deactivate. That's ok.
    But i have a problem with Acrobat 11 and Dreamweaver, i cant deactivate them cause the Dramweaver has the option "Deactivate" disabled, and the Acrobat professional has no option.
    Please i need a quick solution to format that computer and reinstall the software in the same machine (changing the hard disk), in order to free the licenses.

    Perdona, pero en las últimas semanas hemos tenido muchas preguntas escritas en inglés, a pesar que el encabezado de este foro está en español:
    Por ello, quisiera que me explicaras qué te hizo pensar que estabas en un foro en inglés. La intención es tratar de evitar que futuros recién llegados a estos foros piensen lo mismo.

  • Need to deactivate elements

    i need to deactivate Premire Elements to reinstall on second computer.... don't see where the deactive tab is

    danschnarr
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system is it running.
    Typically, for more recent versions, you would go to the opened project and Help Menu/Deactivate. Close out of the project. And, then you would uninstall via the classical Control Panel route.
    You might also find a deactivate option to check in the course of the uninstall. But I would make sure to do the one in the opened project nonetheless as well as any deactivate in the uninstall dialogs.
    Please let us know if the above answered your question.
    You are allowed the same purchased serial number on two of your computers. So, I would ask, are you talking about a second computer here or a third?

  • Why exactly u need to deactivate and activate in lo extraction?

    why exactly u need to deactivate and activate in lo extraction?

    <FONT FACE = "Tahoma", Font Color = "Blue">
    Hi<br>
    You won't really be deactivating any extract structure or datasource because it will stop data transfer. However if you change the structure and do not activate it then it will be in modified version (or deactivate state) for system.
    <br><br>
    Hope it helps.<br>
