How do I deactivate a license on a dead computer?

My computer motherboard is bad. How do I deactivate my photoshop License on this computer?

You can't deactivate without running the program.  Your options are:
Fit your hard drive to another computer, disconnect all other drives, and run it in Safe mode (because all the drivers will be wrong).  You might be able to open Photoshop to deactivate it (depending on what the screen resolution is in Safe Mode.
Phone customer support. Explain your problem, and ask them to reset Activations.

  • How do you deactivate a license on a failed computer?

    I have a computer that suffered a hardware failure that has a licensed copy of LabVIEW 8.6. I would like to deactivated that machine and install the software on another working machine. How do I do that?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello Zia,
    You can use NI's License  Manager software to deactivate a license.
    Open License Manager, found in the National Instruments startup directory. 
    Expand the tree on the left hand side to expose the item you wish to deactivate.  
    Right click, and deactivate.  
    *edit*   In the case of hardware that has failed, you should be able to just go ahead and re-license on a new machine.  However it couldn't hurt to send an email to NI Support indicating that you have done so.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    As far as my experience in this forum goes, Adobe support has the ability to deactivate inaccessible installations.  Unless that has changed just recently it should still stand.  You can contact them thru chat and get it taken care of.

    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.

    There is no way to prevent some one for restoring the iPod and using it themselves./selling it.
