How do I deactivate CS6 on my computer to upload it on another?

Opening either Photoshop or InDesign and clicking 'help' does not bring up a 'deactivate' option.  Where on earth is 'deactivate'???
Thanks

  • Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

    Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

    Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

  • How do I deactivate PPro on one computer?

    A little hlp pls.... I need to deactivate so I can shift to a better computer. How do I "deactivate" when "Help dropdown" does not have "Deactivate" option (as was shown in the FAQ)?

    I wish that we were able to control which devices were activated/deactivated remotely from our account page. That way if you are away from "the office" on a laptop or something and needed to access your work and you never "signed out" of two other devices, you could simply hop online, access your account where you'd see your devices listed by name and you could remotely activate/deactivate the various devices. Once during the holidays I was out of town and was denied access and couldn't simply "deactivate all devices". Instead it said there was an error it directed me to contact customer service to "reset" the devices. Well CS was gone for the holidays so I was shut out for days. Nightmare situation. Adobe was gracious enough afterwards to give me a free month service which was nice since I never asked for it, but I would've traded that back in a heartbeat to have a way to deactivate/activate devices remotely. Not sure my "wish" will be granted...who knows, maybe one day.

  • How do I get CS6 into new computer?

    I know this is a stupid question, but... I purchased CS6 about 6 months ago. I downloaded it directly from Adobe, so I don't have an installation disc. I am currently using Windows 7, but will soon be getting a new computer with Windows 8.1. Do I have to call Adobe tech support to get whatever information I need to download CS6 onto the new computer? Or is there another way to do it?

    Download it directly from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    Backup the installer when you are finished.
    Register if you haven't already done so. That way your serial number is always under your account.

    Hi Beth, welcome to the discussions!
    Might be a good idea to also post over in the iPhoto forum if you haven't tried this yet as this is a common topic on their boards.
    You may be able to get your iPhoto library back by rebuilding it. I've done it, but's it's been a long time, so don't want to mislead you on anything. The guys over in the iPhoto forum are real experts and should have some fixes for you.

  • How do I deactivate CS6 from a broken computer?

    I recently built a new PC because my HP All in One mysteriously broke down on me. Now that I have installed CS6 on my new computer Adobe is asking me to deactivate one of the two other computers I had previously installed CS6 on (the other being my wife's laptop.) I could easily deactivate the CS6 on my wife's laptop but it would be such a waste of a license. So, can I somehow deactivate the software from my broken computer remotely?
    *Just a note on my 'broken' computer. It's an HP Touchsmart 310 All-In-One PC. Oneday the screen went blank. I could still hear the fans and everything working inside. I read online this was happening a lot with these HP All-In Ones so I took it to a repair shop. The guy thought reinstalling Windows on it would do the trick, and it did, for about one day. Now, I'm not sure how to access this PC in order to deactivate the software.

    So, can I somehow deactivate the software from my broken computer remotely?
    Call Adobe, explain the situation and they'll reset your activation count.

  • How do I deactivate online (needed when computer fails)?

    Problem: When a computer fails with Adobe products installed, it is always a problem to do deactivation of license keys.
    When I login to my account at adobe.com, I can see my licenses.  I would have expected that I could manage my activations there.  How can we get Adobe to provide license key activation management online?  When computers fail, right now, there is no way to re-install Adobe software on the replacement computers because Adobe think I've used up my total activations.
    Without an solution within my adobe.com account, I always wind up spending HOURS talking with Adobe people.  It is a very frustrating process.  Please see below the 1 hour communication I had today that got me nowhere.
    Steve Amerige
    Mohammed: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Steve: The serial number in my account is xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    Mohammed: Hi Steve
    Steve: Began my day with a hard-disk failure.
    Mohammed: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
    Steve: [email protected]
    Steve: It's also my AdobeID
    Mohammed: thank you for your emailaddress.
    Steve: I had both CS 5 Master Collection as well as Acrobat Professional (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) installed on the computer whose hard drive failed.
    Mohammed: Than you for the information.
    Steve: It is possible that I installed Acrobat Pro Extended on that computer instead... I have license for that: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
    Steve: Since the computer has crashed, I'm not sure which version of Acrobat I installed on it.
    Steve: Anyway, I don't want to have any problems once I start reinstalling the Acrobat and CS 5 Master Collection software.
    Mohammed: According to the End User License Agreement (EULA) law, it is recommended to install the Adobe Software on only two computers and that is mentioned on the End User License Agreement when installing the Software provided the Software is not used simultaneously.
    Mohammed: However, you can install the Software on the third Computer by de-activating the Software from one of the older one and then install it on the new one so that you can avoid any error message while activating the Software.
    Steve: I cannot de-activate the software... the hard drive has failed.
    Mohammed: Thank you for the information. Please allow me 1-2 minutes while I check with the information.
    Mohammed: I check the information. Still you have the activations left. You can activate the software.
    Steve: I had the software already installed on 2 computers: my home computer and my work computer.
    Mohammed: May I know what kind of errors your getting?
    Steve: My work computer is the one that had the hard-disk failure.  Did you verify license availability for both of the serial numbers: xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (CS5 Master Collection) and Acrobat Pro (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx) and Acrobat Pro Extended (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx)?
    Steve: I have not yet begun the installation... I have to finish loading the operating system first.  I just remembered the last time this happened that I had problems with activation.  I don't want problems this time.
    Steve: Adobe should provide a website to manage activations.  When computers fail, it is not possible to deactivate.
    Mohammed: This seems to be more of technical issue and Since I from Customer Support, In this case I will suggest you to contact our Specialized technical support team so that they would be able to resolve the issue better. I will provide you with the contact details for technical support team, Is that okay with you?
    Steve: Sure
    Mohammed: You can directly contact our technical team at 800-833-6687.
    Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Steve: You can put in a suggestion that customers can manage their activations by logging into their online account.  When computers fail, this would be the only way they can manage activations.
    Mohammed: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
    Mohammed: Thank you.
    Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Steve: Yes, how do I submit a feature request to have online activation management?
    Mohammed: In this case you can contact us back.
    Steve: ???  Okay... why not now?
    Mohammed: Okay in this case please contact technical  team.
    Steve: And, how do I do that?  I just want to put in a feature request that activations should be managed online in my adobe.com account.
    Mohammed: I'll be right with you.
    Mohammed: Please follow the below steps to de-activate the product:
    Mohammed: *Ensure that the computer on which you have the software installed is connected to the Internet.
    Mohammed: *Select Deactivate from the Help menu in the product you want to deactivate.
    Mohammed: *Select Deactivate Permanently.
    Mohammed: Once you de-activate the product from the old system, you will not have any issue while activating the product on the new system.
    Steve: You've got to be kidding me!  Did you forget that my hard-drive failed?  Are you a real person or some software that is trying to answer my questions?
    Mohammed: I am sorry that is for future reference.
    Steve: As I said before, my hard-drive failed.  I cannot deactivate the license.  I called the phone number you gave me.  Adobe is not yet open, so at the moment I have no solution.
    Steve: I will call them and see if they are able to help me.  But, I want to know how I make an official request that Adobe allow for online license key management from within my adobe.com account.
    Mohammed: I am sorry, please stay online while I check with the activation seat for the serial number you have provided above.
    Mohammed: Steve, in case of hard drive crash or any unavoidable situations, you can contact us while activating the product so that we can make necessary changes to the license and allow you to activate the product again with out any issues.
    Steve: Okay... I'll proceed.  But, you still haven't answered my last question: how can I make an official request that Adobe allow for online license key management from within my adobe.com account?
    Mohammed: Steve, you can leave your feedback here on chat so that I can escalate the same to higher level of support to check with this.
    Mohammed: Is that fine?
    Steve: Yes... please do escalate this so that the feedback can be used.
    Mohammed: Thank you.
    Mohammed: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Steve: No.  I will call the number you gave me when they open.  Until then, there is nothing for me to do except to begin the installation again, wait for the problem, and then re-start a new support session.  I wish Adobe could manage activations online, but I do understand that you can't at this moment do anything about it.  Have a nice day.
    Mohammed: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
    Mohammed: Thank you.
    Mohammed: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe while I review your request?
    Mohammed: Thank you for contacting Adobe.  We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!

    You simply call support by phone and have them reset activations. At this point there is no way to manage that yourself.
