How do I deactivate Adobe CS3

According to Adobe, there is supposed to be a "Deactivate" menu item in the Help menu, yet it is not there.
Anyone know how I can deactivate it or get that menu item to show up?
Thanks.

Hi and welcome....
Might be answers here for you.

    Hi sanket chalke,
    I'm not sure what Adobe product you need help with, but you might want to start with this document, which has deactivation information: Activation & Deactivation Help
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,

    How do you deactivate Photoshop CS3?  I installed CS5.

    Not a requirement…
    I know it's not an Adobe requirement, but there can be and are nefarious consequences if you don't. 
    Don't ever underestimate the blunders and incompetence of the Adobe installer/uninstaller team.  Photoshop engineers and program managers have publicly shown their contempt for the members of said team and, privately, at least some have expressed a desire to wring their necks.  A former principal program manager called the installers and uninstallers "a huge embarrassment to us."
    Therefore, I repeat:  if you wanted to uninstall CS3, you should have done it BEFORE installing CS5.

    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 I deactivate PS CS3 under Leopard?

    We bought a Mac Pro but are keeping the old iMac around for light work. I need to deactivate Photoshop CS3 on the iMac so I can activate my license on the Mac Pro. Unfortunately, under Leopard the Photoshop help menu has been replaced with Leopard's help menu so the deactivate option is not where Adobe says it should be. How do I go about deactivating my Photoshop license?

    Mark, unless you need to install a copy on a laptop, you are allowed activation on two computers.
    This is from adobe's site:
    "The activation process supports installation on two machines. The Adobe product license agreement allows the primary user to install the product on a primary computer and also on a home or laptop computer for his or her use, provided that the two copies are not used simultaneously. While the activation process supports installing and activating Adobe software on two machines, the usage of the product on the second computer is restricted to the user who licensed the software. Allowing others to use a second copy of the software violates the product license agreement."

    I keep a copy on a second computer, a laptop, in case I need to work on a project whilst backing up or updating software.

  • 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.
