How do I activate PS CS after PC crash?

Am a loyal Adobe customer. Have had PS since 1997 starting with PS 4.0. Upgraded very year up to PS CS.  Then my wife became ill with breast cancer (died in 2008 from it), lost my job, lost our family home to forclosure in 2010, my 20 year old son diagnosed with luekemia in 2011 (still fighting on chemo) yada yada yada.
Bottom line, I cannot afford to upgrade my Acrobat Pro, my Photoshop, my Premier etc etc etc.We sometimes don't have enough money to eat.
So my pc crashed the the other week. I just finished rebuilding using a new hard drive,  Photoshp CS in installed again, and running perfectly. BUT I keep getting a need to activate alert.  And can't do it.
Spent a bunch of time on line with Adobe CS.  They said I have to come here to the forum to get help.

The activation servers have been shut down, so Adobe have given you the option of downloading Photoshop CS2 along with the serial.

  • How to Recover a running composites after system crash?

    The Weblogic server has unexpected restart while some long-time composites were running.
    After Weblogic started again, those composites had state "Running". But nothing changes. They never neither finish neither fault.
    Is there a something necessary to configure in weblogic, or composites to successfully continue all running composites after system start-up after a crash?

    Hi there,
    please have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15586_01/integration.1111/e10226/bp_mang.htm#BABCEIBC.
    In section "13.4 Performing BPEL Process Service Engine Message Recovery" you can read how a manual recovery of undelivered invoke or callback messages due to a transaction rollback in the process instance can be performed. Please have a look an let me know if it helpful for you.

  • How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

    Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
    My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

    Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • How to re-activate Photoshop CS2 after my hard drive was replaced

    Help! My hard drive had to be replaced, and now my computer will not allow me to use my Photoshop CS2. I purchased this years ago, and have all of the verification codes. I have several things I am working on that I can't finish until I get it reactivated. Help!!

    Please do a forum search on "activate cs2".  It has been discussed ad nauseam here.
    Short answer:  Adobe has taken down the CS2 activation servers.  For legitimate licensees of CS2, it has posted a special version of CS2 that requires no activation but does require a new serial number, free to legitimate owners of CS2.

  • How do I activate my iphone after it's been repaired?

    My iphone 4s had a glitch with the battery and had to be sent off for repair. Took it to an AT&T store and they put a new sim card into my iphone 3g and they activated it right there so I wouldnt have to go without a phone. I just got my iphone 4s back from repair yesterday and I have restored the data, ect and it's charged and ready to go.The problem is, I need to deactivate my 3 and reactivate my 4s.
    Apple's site only gave me 3 options for activation:
    1: if it's a new phone, call here and pay a $15 activation fee
    2:if it's an upgrade, call here for activation.
    3: if you're switching carriers, call here.
    Well, I'm none of the above. The phone isnt an upgrade, I'm not switching carriers and I've activated it and paid the fee back in october so it isn't new.

    I called them and there is some difficulty getting it activated. they said they could not activate my iphone 4 because the sims card was not brand new. sounds like bull to me but whatever. they mailed me a new one today and it is for an iphone 3 not 4 so I will have to take off work and take it to my local AT&T store tomorrow and get it resolved.
    but thank you for your advice.

  • Where / how to download Lighroom 5 Upgrade after computer crash (already purchased Lightroom 5 key)

    Hi,

    Now, after a computer crash and restore, I have installed previous versions from CD up to LIghtroom 4. I need now to upgrade to Lightroom 5 and cannot find where / how to download the upgrade.
    NOTE that I do not want to change to Lightroom Creative Cloud but need to download the Lightroom 5 upgrade in order to be able to activate it with the purchased key.
    Many thanks in advance,

    You can download Lightroom 5 from

  • How to Restore E-Business Suite after Server Crash?

    Hi Hussein Sawwan,
    I have a question that will be useful to other members of the community. How do I restore Oracle E-Business Suite R12 after physically loosing the server that hosts the ERP instance?
    I have 2 scenarios here:
    1-Existing cold backups of the DbTier and AppsTier are available
    I have been doing a full backup of the Apps and Inst folders once a week on an external drive.
    I have been copying the DB folder (Data + DBMS_ORACLE_HOME) after shutting down the database cleanly once a week on an external drive. Noting that, here the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
    2-Existing Hot backups of the Database are available and I have a backup of the Apps and Inst folders (AppsTier)
    The database is in archivelog here. I have been doing a full hot backup of the database once a week, an Incremental backup everyday, and a full backup of the archivelogs once a week. All of this to an external drive. The Apps and Inst folders are backed up once a week to an external drive.
    Let say something bad happens and we completely loose the physical server. How can I do to restore and recover my Oracle E-Business Suite R12 to a new server?
    I know I will have to Install the same OS on the new server, but what happens after that?
    Thanks in advance,
    Clamarion.

    I believe the easiest approach would be:
    - Install the same OS on the new servers
    - Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
    - Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
    OR,
    - Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
    I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • ? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

    I think we need a sticky for this.
    Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

    Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
    1.Quit iTunes.
    2.Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

    Forster F

    Hi Forster,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    The CC has been activated twice, so please perform the steps as mentioned earlier, when you will launch & try to sign in after install, it will ask you to deactivate from previous machine.
    There will be an option to deactivate it from there also, if your previous machine are un accessible then you can choose the option to deactivate from here & henceforth it will allow to sign in & activate.
    Please let us know if it worked.
    Regards,

  • How to restore a remote site after a crash?

    I have read the site management FAQ and it mentions to restore your files you can go to your remote site and load back to your local site.
    Could anyone offer some help to my situation?
    I suffered a hard drive failure, I'm running windows xp, dwcs4 and the site is hosted. I have reinstalled windows and dw. The site was created as per all the tutorials and I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in.
    Could someone point me to a tutorial or how to?
    Thanks in advance
    Jim

    "I managed to save a copy of the site folder but not as per the saving instructions in the FAQ. I just have a root folder with all the pages in."
    You lost me here. Not sure what you mean.
    Create a new site definition for local and remote sites, connect to your remote site then click Get. That's all you need to do.

  • How do I recover my history after a crash?

    I've had firefox crash twice in the past week which of course deletes all bookmarks and history. Because of the way Firefox is with everything hidden in places.sqlite they are difficult to recover. They give you backup of bookmarks, but not of history. Is there any addon or any way of retrieving history? I made a backup of the old profile and started new for now. I tried sqlite browser, but it doesn't work on places.sqlite. I tired renaming the corrupt file and deleting the others. No luck. How do I get history back?

    Sry about it. Yes history is stored in places.sqlite

  • How to save music on nano after HD crash?

    My wife's Mac Mini crashed recently and we replaced the hard drive with a new one.  Her iTunes Library was unfortunately not on the Time Machine backup when I restored it to the new HD.  This means all the music she has left is what was on her early 2nd-gen iPod nano at the time of the crash. 
    Since the nano was synced to a different library which no longer exists, how can we save the music that's on the nano?  Thanks!
