How do I deactivate Adobe CS?

I would like to deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite so that I can wipe my computer's hard drive. This version of Creative Suite -- the first one -- doesn't seem to have 'deactivate' under its help menu.

    Unless you bought a serial number via the Buy It Now button in the trial, there is no activation for PSE 6. You're good.

  • How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a Creative Cloud membership, and I want to deactivate a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there would be an option to deactivate all devices somewhere in My Account, but I can't find it.

    Hi acornies,
    There is no such option readily available under which you are able to deactivate the product on all the devices . As per the EULA , you are able to install the product on two machines only and once you try to have the product installed on a third machine that would provide you with an error message and an option to deactivate the products on all the previous installation .
    So , if the machine that you would be installing the product onto is going to be your third machine , you will be getting an error message that you have reached your activation limit and there would be a button to click on continue to deactivate all the prev installation .
    Please let me know if this works for you .

  • How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed?

    How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed? I told my husband I had to get it off the third computer but he trying to help me did not deactivate it before he  un-installed it!!!!
    Now what? I am only using this on 2 computers and I'm told I am using it on a 3rd and I'm not.
    How can I fix this?
    It wont work on the 3rd one anyway because its so old and limited it crashes every time I try. But I need this on my 2 good computers.

    One way could be to reinstall it on the third computer and then deactivate it and uninstall it.
    If that doesn't work out or if you'd rather try this route it should work... contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and they should be able to help.  Chat is usually 24/7
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • How do i deactivate adobe design and web premium cs6?

    How do i deactivate adobe design and web premium cs6 so that I can use the cd key to a different computer?

    To deactivate you normally only need to open one of the programs in the suite and select Help -> deactivate.  You are allowed to have activated installations on two machines, so if you only have the one now you can keep it as a backup if you like.

  • How do you deactivate adobe illustrator 10?

    Hello, Does anyone know how to deactivate adobe illustrator 10? I need to do so on one pc in order to install it on another. It is not possible to deactivate it in the same way as the current version. There is not "deactivate" option under "Help". Thanks

    Thanks for your reply. When I installed the product on the new pc, a pop up asked me if I wanted to activate/register online. When I tried to do so a message told me that the product number was already in use. The pc on which the product was originally installed and registered no longer needs the software.

  • How do I deactivate adobe pro on my old laptop that no longer works?

    I just recently had to purchase a replacement laptop and need to have Adobe Pro running on both my laptop and desktop machine.  Unfortunately, it appears Adobe is still registered on my old laptop that is no longer functioning?  How can I deactivate so that I can activate and use on my new laptop?  Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi jdd123,
    I checked the registered Acrobat11 Serial number at the server and found that you were able to successfully deactivate the copy on one of the machines today.
    You can install the software on up to 2 machines now as Adobe EULA entitles you for the same.

  • How can one deactivate adobe community help for indesign?

    Hello everyone.
    It seems that everytime I touch a wrong key on the keyboard or do an action Indesign judge not conform, Indesign opens the Adobe Community help software. This takes me away from my ongoing work, bring me to a new window and makes the computer relatively slow for all the time it is loading. It is rather annoying and I tried to deactivate it but never found where and how.
    Does anyone here knwos where to deactivate adobe comnunity help. I cannot stad to have this application open each time I wrong click or miss pres a key like delete/end/page down/etc. on my keyboard. It is absolutely counter productive.
    Thank you for you help.

    Never heard of this before ....
    Are you using the Wireless keyboard ? What is your OS ?
    Do you get the same problem when working in Selective start up on Windows and Safe boot on Mac ?
    I don't think there is a way to turn off the help option in any application , it is in-built , however you can switch the Accesbility mode from Community help application  to Browser 
    Also can restrict the application to look for local help (fownloaded) rather then looking it online.
    This is can be down via Adobe Help community help application preferences.

  • How can I deactivate Adobe Acrobat 8 on a laptop with a monitor that does not work?

    Or is there some work-around I can use?  I got a new laptop and have reinstalled the program but I keep getting a pop-up that wants me to register it again.  I have but it keeps popping up.  I read in the user's guide for this version that "Note: If you want to install the software on a different computer, you must first deactivate the software on your computer: Choose Help > Activation > Deactivate."  I figure that that is what the problem is.  So now what do I do? It is a little hard to "choose" when the monitor is black.
    As an added complication I am now getting an error message on the pop-up that tell me "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet."  Help!!!
    I am currently using a Sony Vaio T Series Ultrabook now with Windows 8. My old laptop was a Compaq and was using Windows XP Home Edition.  It was about 10 years old.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Can you plug in a remote monitor? You may have to use the Fn key with the screen icon typically along the function keys to change to the external monitor. If that works, then do what you need. You might also try putting the HD in another machine and see if it works there.

  • How do I deactivate Adobe Illustrator 8 with no deactivate option under the help menu?

    Please if anyone knows, thank you.

    Here's what Scott was referring to:
    Transfer an Adobe product license
    If you never bothered to register and it is not listed on your Adobe account, the paperwork is not necessary. Just be clear on that you are really using a very oldversion of AI that won't work on most contemporary computers.

  • How do I deactivate Adobe Reader in Safari?

    Hi all.
    I am using Mountain Lion. I occasionally want to use Adobe but not as a default program to view PDFs in Safari. The standard way out of this seems to change the corresponding Option in Adobe Reader. However, when I go to Adobe Reader-Preferences-Internet I see a checkbox "Display PDF in browser using:" which I cannot uncheck (it is shaded in gray in contrast to checkable boxes which are blue).
    Thanks.
    Florian

    mv52 ,
    What do you have anything in your Home Library/Internet Plug-Ins Folder? Mine is empty.
    Delete the AdobePDFViewer.plugin in your Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Folder.
