How do I deactivate Photoshop on old laptop?

I downloaded Photoshop Elements 11 onto my old laptop some months ago but never actually got any further than that and have never used it. I now have a new laptop and I do want to use Photoshop on that but is there some action I need to do on the old laptop first ie deactivate Photoshop? I clicked on the Help button but there was nothing that answered my question. Can I just download the disc onto my new laptop and then start the installation process? Any help appreciated.

Adobe allows you to use the purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers but not use the two at the same time.
If you ever get into a situation where you cannot install that purchased serial number on a 3rd computer AND cannot deactivate one of the copies of either of the other 2 computers, Adobe can assist you in that matter even if this purchase serial number is not from the current version of Premiere Elements.
In such a case, you can click on the following link and, when it opens, click on the statement "Still Need Help. Contact us." to bring up the Adobe Chat for the corrective action involving topic "Serial number issues or activating my product."

Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

  • How do I disable Photoshop on old laptop so I can download it on my new one. I cannot open it.

    How do I disable Photoshop on old laptop so I can download it on my new one. I cannot open it to uninstall it on my old one.  It seems to have disappeared.  I have the CC now and just want to put it on my new computer.

    you could reinstall it on your old computer and then click help>deactivate.  or, if you have cc on your old computer, open your cc app and sign out off cc.
    if you don't have access to your old computer you can ask adobe support to reset your activation, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

    Hi Virginie,
    You need to go under the help menu option and sign out from Muse and then install it on the other computer that you want using the creative cloud desktop app.

    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.

  • How do I deactivate Photoshop

    How do I deactivate photoshop on all my computers without deactivating each individually?

    Well, since you can only have PSE activated on two computers at once, it shouldn't be too onerous to go to Editor>Help>Deactivate on both of them.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop CS2 on an old Mac?

    I tried to deactivate Photoshop CS2 on my old Mac by using the "Transfer Activation" command on the Help menu. (There is no "Deactivate" command.) Photoshop never recognizes that I do have a connection to the Internet, so I cannot proceed. Is there a way to Deactivate on this computer?

    Forget about it.
    The CS2 activation server was shut down by Adobe a couple of years ago. So you're trying to communicate with a server which no longer exists.
    Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    If you're planning to re-install CS2 on a new Mac, that won't work since CS2 is a PowerPC application which will not install or run on modern Intel-based Macs running newer versions of OS X.

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 5.0 on hard drive that will not boot?

    I have Elements 5.0 loaded on a hard drive which will no longer boot. I have a new hard drive and can access the old drive as an extra internal hard drive. I cannot use Photoshop, so I was thinking I need to deactivate the copy loaded on the old hard drive and reload it on the new hard drive. Is this the best solution? If so, how do I deactivate? When I start up the editor, it does not have an option for deactivating as I read about in another post. Under the help menu, there is a grayed out option for Registration. After a few seconds, a window appears saying there is a problem with my serial number and the application closes.  Also, I would like to load Photoshop on a laptop later, so I do not want to waste one of my allowable loads. I would appreciate any help.

    Yes, as long as you don't have it on more than two computers at once you're in compliance with the license. (Back in the days of PSE 5 adobe worked more on the honor system.)

  • How can i copy music from old laptop to new without everything downloading via cloud?

    I tried to back up my songs to an external drive and then import them to the new laptop.  It worked for about the first day, but then it wouldn't play my songs.  I kept trying and now it plays, but it shows every song i ever purchased since 6th grade!  There is a cloud symbol next to some.  I don't want to download every single song from icloud (over 2,000 songs).  I just want to copy the 800+ songs on my old laptop before i get rid of it.  PLEASE Help.

  • My Pro is in the repair shop and I need to back up iPhone as it's developed a fault. How do I do it on old laptop so I keep all the photos

    so I have a phone that needs urgent back up as I really want to keep the content.  It's been a month since last back-up and there are photos/videos of the kids I want to keep.  the machine I usually back-up to has a problem with the graphics card and is with Apple and then my Iphone 3GS started playing up.  Took  that in and Apple said they need to replace the whole unit.  I need to back up my phone to an old laptop that I have just installed iTunes to.  I did the right click on the iPhone in iTunes and selected back-up and this took about 10 mins.  My question is that if I get my replacement device and hook up to the laptop and restore from back-up will all my pics and apps be there? (not worried about music as have that all in library on my pro)  Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks Felicity

    You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

  • How to get music from my old laptop to my itunes

    ok heres my problem. All my music was on my old laptop but it broke and i got another laptop and i was wondering if i can go on my itunes account and redown load my music.

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • How do I deactivate Photoshop if my old computer is dead?

    I purchased Photoshop CS4 several years ago and never had a problem with it. My computer recently got a virus and now won't even turn on. I bought a new computer and I want to instal Photoshop on it, but I can't deactivate it on my dead computer. What do I do? The chat representatives haven't helped at all.

    You have to telephone support and ask nicely.  I've only ever had to do it once, and it was fast and easy.  They would have seen I have a lot of purchases in my account, and had never asked for a reactivation before.  They actually reset it to zero, so I had two!

  • How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 12 on my current computer so that I can re-install it on a new computer ?

    Photoshop Elements 12 is currently installed on a a HP Pavilion dv6 laptop with Windows 7 64 bits and I wish to deactivate it in order to re-install it on a much bigger/powerful machine.
    I found no indication whatsoever on Adobe site for this question. The chain of questions on the site keeps taking me round and round until I reached this forum, which is where I started from !!!
    Can somebody tell me how this can be done ?
    Please DO NOT tell me to follow the path of questions until I get somewhere : this is juest what I have been doing for half an hour !!!

    Many thanks Brian !
    Quick reply, simple process (two clicks). Why is it so difficult to find the answer ? Too simple ?
    As a matter of fact it is a question of vocabulary : “sign out” and “deactivate” is NOT AT ALL  the same thing (I’ve been  for many years an editor of English versions of international standards and regulations, and happen to know what words mean ). All the more as I have just discovered in the “Uninstall” process that the word “deactivate” is used https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/uninstall-premiere-elements-photoshop-elemen ts.html
    In French (my language), the Help menu reads “Deconnecter” which means something like “exit” or “sign out”. For me it meant either “leave the programm” or “disconnect from the help service”. Anyhow, it’s not an option you would use not knowing what the result would be : there is no suspension point on that line.
    And the Help answer on Adobe’s site (in French) reads :
    “Si vous souhaitez installer le logiciel sur un troisième ordinateur, désactivez-le sur l’ordinateur sur lequel vous n’allez plus l’utiliser. Ensuite, activez le logiciel sur le nouvel ordinateur.”
    It does not use the word in the menu (déconnecter = disconnect).
    Approximations like this could be a matter of life and death . In a french movie dramatizing the war in Algeria “L’honneur d’un Capitaine”, soldiers uphill in the mountains radio their captain – in the valley - to let him know they have captured the man they were looking for. He just says “Descendez-le”, which means “bring him down” or “Shoot him”. He meant of course “Bring him down”. The man was shot to death.
    It looks like no one on the forum know the real answer. Do you think you could help correct this ? A simple phrase like : “check (or look up) uninstall process” would do.
    Regards
