How do I recover my working Master Collection after computer repair?

Recently my university's Institutional Technology did a logic board and keyboard repair. Now, when I try to open any of my CS6 Master Collection software I am asked to activate my "trial version." My version is not a "trial version," but a version purchased and downloaded from Adobe last year through my department. Is there a way to recover working software without doing a complete uninstall and reinstall?
28 April
After 42 views and no replies, I conclude there isn't a solution other than uninstall my Master Collection and reinstall it. I would ask if a clean script needs to run after I uninstall all the software, but I'll save that question for a tech.

Make sure to unhide hidden folder in Windows first, then see this support article.

well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

How to install creative suite 5 master collection?

I am having two files of Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection[Windows] -
1) Disk1.iso - 7.09 GB [7.09 GB after extraction]
2) Disk2.iso - 6.10 GB [6.17 GB after extraction]
NOTE : I am not having the DVDs or CDs of the CS5 master collection. I am just having the files on my hard disk.
I extracted them with WinRAR. After that I got the extracted files of both disks. I navigated to ..../...../Adobe CS5/Disk1/Adobe CS5/Set-up.exe. The Disk1 is having setup files. The Disk2 is having only a folder named 'payloads' and many folders within that too. But there is a folder with the same name on Disk1. But the 'payload' folder of Disk2 is very larger in size as compared to that of Disk1. And there is no such 'set-up.exe' file on Disk2.
The setup (on disk1) runs perfectly. I want to install CS5 master collection completely (I mean that including all the softwares like Ps, Pr, In, Ae, etc. and all other contents). But I am wondering that how can I completely install CS5 Master Collection when only contents of one disk is installed. So, I not installed that because I wanted no problems.
Can anyone tell me that how can I install this software completely? Do I have to copy contents of 'payloads' ( which is on disk2) to the 'payload' folder of Disk1?
Will I require to first burn the ISO files on two separate DVD and then begin installation process? Is the Disk2 just having waste contents?
Please tell me the whole installation process after clicking the "install" button.

Yes, you have to copy the contents of Disk2 to Disk1 contents the way you said. Or you can follow the steps in following kb article to install the software -

I lost my password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)s

I lost my password, how do i recover my back-up from my computer (itunes)?

If you forgot the passcode for yur encrypted backup you are out of luch. You will have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod if you want to restore from backup in the future.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

How do I manually uninstall CS3 Master Collection?

I started having problems with Encore, then Premier Pro. The programs have been functioning OK for some years, but started to fail for some reason some months ago. When I run the Installation program to uninstall it starts off OK showing a progress bar, but after some time it fails to progress and stops. I then tried the CS Cleaner Tool, but that increased the problems, so now I can not launch the installer program at all, and I get a notification that my license is no longer valid. Seems I will need to manually uninstall all CS3 programs (Master Collection).
I have a MacPro, OSX ver. 10.5.8 (Leopard), as I´ve been told that never versions off the operating system do not function well with the CS3. (I also own ver 10.6). I´ve long time searched the internet for a solution without beein able to solve this, so grateful for any help

I cannot say I have conclusive help to offer. At one point in time a couple years back CS3 started to go flaky on me and eventually led to prohibiting me from accessing any of the products that came with it, claiming my license was not valid.
Below are some notes I jotted down that served to help me... I cannot say if they will be a help to you.
One thing that I found troubling was that there was mention of no support from Adobe for CS3 any longer at various points along the line while trying to find a solution - hard to accept that a failing license would be ignored. I think the last bit of info I show below relates to having found someone at Adobe who was willing to try to help despite that... but I managed to fix things with the first bit of info I list before that person got back to me.

How to delete all of adobe master collection to re-install the master collection cs5.5?

If you purchased CS5.5 then you do not need to uninstall the trial, just use the serial number to activate the trial to full use.

How do I get the CS6 Master Collection discs mailed?

I am waiting for the CS6 Master Collection - I purchased the CS5.5 upgrade within the window for the free CS6 upgrade, however I need to have the discs shipped. My download speed would take days. How do I proceed with this once the software becomes fully available? Thanks.

Thanks both Steve and Bob -
    I was kind of being patient, knowing that the freebie upgrades would probably be a bit low in the Adobe pecking order. I'll be patient a while longer. Since I just installed the CS5.5 Master Collection, then spent a couple of days updating settings, plugins, etc., I'm not looking forward to doing it all again with CS6 - except for some of the new features I'm dying to try out.

How do I install the cs6 master collection on an iMac?

I have an adobe cs6 master collection disc. I tried installing it on my iMac and all I see is a bunch of weird folders with names like styles, templates, textures, legal, library, main. I don't see where the actual Adobe programs to install are. I followed the instructions to get the serial number, but I don't even see where I am supposed to enter the serial number. Can anybody help me?

Uninstall an Adobe Master Collection after my computer failed

Hello, I bought an Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection CS5 in 2010. I get two licenses and I have installed it on my two mac devices: a mac book pro and a mac pro. A few days ago, my mac pro failed. I brought it to the Apple Store's Genius Bar but they couldn't repair it. It has failed before I could uninstall my creative suite (or any other software). I get a new mac and I want to recover my second license to instal it on my new mac. I have juste called the adobe help center and they said it is ok, but I have to ask my request here. Could you help me? Is it possible to uninstall one of my two license? How could I do? Thanks for your attention and your support. ChrysOrsat

Your first instinct was correct. Their direction to you was not. You need to contact Adobe Support and they can take care of freeing up any lost activations. If you contact them thru chat they should not refuse you this service.

How do I recover tunes from my iPod after a hard disk crash?

I've just received my PowerMac back after a hard disk crash and am having to reinstall all software etc.
My iPod obviously contains all the music I'd downloaded from the iTunes music store and all the CD's I'd loaded manually into iTunes.
I can't see any way of copying the tunes on my iPod back into my iTunes library...
Can anyone help?
I had to use a data recovery tool to recover data from my disk after the crash and it's going to be a really long job to sort out what's what...

You can't sync or drag your music back from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you prefer.

How can I recover lost work in Soundbooth 4?

While editing an MP3 file in SB4, Soundbooth crashed, and crashed hard. First the green soundwave editing pane went blank, then I received multiple "Adobe Soundbooth has encountered a fatal error and must close" alert windows (over 100) until the computer froze and I was forced to reboot (Windows 7).
When I rebooted, the MP3 file I was editing was in its original state and all 3+ hours of editing work was lost. This, despite the fact that I had manually saved the file multiple times as my editing progressed. Where did all of those manual "save" operations write their data? My expectation is that if I perform a "Save" operation while editing an Mp3 file, that all changes I made before that time are persisted to the file! It appears this is not the case.
Is there a "secret" location that Soundbooth saves files out to where I can attempt to recover them from? Thanks for any help

I would really like to know this as well! I just finished mastering a new mix for my website at Wedding DJ San Diego and clicked over to another app really quick, when I clicked back to Soundbooth, it blinked and disappeared completely. After reopening the app, my file is nowhere to be found!
If anyone knows how to recover the file please let us know!!!

How many discs does Adobe CS6 Master Collection include?

I am trying to find out for all of the programs that CS6 includes, how many discs need to be downloaded for a MAC?

Depending on what edition of the MC you can end up between 3 to 5 discs, but the download offered on Adobe's site should only be 2 archives.
