How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed?

How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed? I cannot use the software on my new computer because of too many users.

Will you please provide a specific telephone number or chat link? I seem to be in a loop, that gets me back to the same place:
I click on your above link ...
Then Deactivation and sign-out problems
Then Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products
Then Can't access your previous computer?
Then "Don't have access to the previous computer on which you installed the application?Contact us. Be sure to have any purchase-related information ready."
"Contact Us" takes me back to "Need help?", which eventually directs me to this forum in the first place.
Thanks you.

  • HT1296 How to transfer an itune license from a computer that is dead?

    My computer (windows) crashed and cannot be salvaged so I purchased a new one. When I went to sync my ipad after installing itunes it wanted to wipe the ipad clean of any music that was not purchased through itunes. It said I didn't have a license on this computer. Since I cannot access my old computer to get the license number how do I switch to the new computer and not lose everything. I also have an iphone.

    I don't know about transferring a license as I have never seen that. What you need to do is authorize the new computer in iTunes. Start iTunes on the PC and go to Store>Authorize this computer - from the iTunes menu at the top.
    If you only have the old computer authorized for iTunes, you really don't need to deauthorize it yet. You can have up to 5 computers authorized at a time with the same Apple ID.
    Next, you need to Transfer purchases from the iPad to the new PC, backup the iPad, restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes. Any content that was not purchased from iTunes will have to be transferred to the iTunes library by using a third party app. TouchCopy is supposed to be a very reliable app for that purpose.
    Read this discussion for detailed instructions on how to sync to a new computer. You need to do it this way since you can't copy the old iTunes library to the new computer.

    how can i deauthorize a computer that crashed and is now in the trash world? i purchased a new laptop and need to authorize my computer

    You cannot, nor do you need to, until you reach the limit of 5.  Once you reach 5, then you can deauthorize all, and then authorize the active computers.

  • Cs3 - How do I deactivate one license from a distant inactive computer?

    System configuration
    (1) Registered cs3 for mac with serial numbers with me
    (2) Mac G5 inactive with one cs3 license and original disks in a distant location
    (3) MacBook active with a 2nd license with me
    (4) MacBookPro
    I migrated the cs3 from (3) to (4). How do I deactivate the license (2) to activate it on (4)?
    Thanks

    Contact support to reset activations. And forget about 3) and 4). You need to install your software properly, not migrate it.

  • How do you deactivate a license when the hard drive crashes?

    How do you deactivate a license on a machine when the hard drive crashes?

    My backup is done with Shadow Protect, which as well as providing incremental backups - it adds any changes to the back up every 18 minutes - it also allows you to keep an image of your boot drive.  This image has t be accompanied with a bootable CD, so if your boot drive crashes, you can be up and running again in minutes.  I've never needed that feature, but I have lost two data drives in the last two years, and Shadow Protect came to the rescue both times.  One of thos drives was have a raid0 with many hundreds of hours of video editing.  It would have been a huge disaster to have lost that.

  • How do i deactivate now leopard from one computer and activate it into another?

    I updated with snow leopard my old computer and now i want to use it on another computer instead. how do i deactivate it from an old computer to use it with another one? since you cant use it on multiple computers i need to get this done! please help!

    Erase the drive or partition it was installed to, and then install it on the desired computer. There is no authentication or activation required for the client version of Mac OS X 10.6; Apple uses the honor system for it.

  • How do I remove a license from a computer?

    I have migrated all my files and applications to a newer workstation.  Everything went fine.  Then I tried to use a cloud application to my laptop, and I got a message saying I could not use the application on the laptop because CC is already installed on 2 machines I own.  How can I disable or uninstall the license on my old workstation, so I can have useable copies on my laptop?

  • How do i transfer my ipod from a computer that has crashed to a new one?

    how do I transfer my ipod data from one computer to another

    You just need to home share between both computers. Then select all the songs and click import on to the new computer. If you have a playlist, then you will need to either recreate the playlist on to the new computer or you can copy the itunes library.itl, the .itl file might have a different name but that is the file that has all of your library playlists. I am not sure if this will fix your problem but that is what I did and it worked for me hope that helps.

  • How do I deauthorize an account on a computer that crashed?

    My laptop crashed and I had to reinstall the original software. When I attempted to reinstall iTunes, I was unable to, because I had reached the maximum devices on my account.  I tried deleting the device from the list on my account and did so successfully, but it still lists 5 devices.  How do I deauthorize a device that has crashed?

    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 - and another helpful post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17828050
    I think you'll have to unauthorize all then re-authorize ones you want unless this works

  • How do I deactivate a copy on a computer that no longer exists

    I am trying to use the program, and the last time I used it, must have been on my old computer.  It is telling me to deactivate the other copy but I no longer have the computer.  Help please!

    You need to contact support directly for activation/deactivation and other installation issues. It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away. You will need your serial number.

  • How do I deauthorize an account from a computer that is not my account?

    I have a laptop that someone added their itunes account to that I never approved.  How do I now delete that account so I can add my own? I don't have their password to be able to delete their account.

    You can't.  Only the original individual who authorized the account we'll be able to. Sorry.
