How do you deactivate a license on a failed computer?

I have a computer that suffered a hardware failure that has a licensed copy of LabVIEW 8.6. I would like to deactivated that machine and install the software on another working machine. How do I do that?
Solved!

Hello Zia,
You can use NI's License  Manager software to deactivate a license.
Open License Manager, found in the National Instruments startup directory. 
Expand the tree on the left hand side to expose the item you wish to deactivate.  
Right click, and deactivate.  
*edit*   In the case of hardware that has failed, you should be able to just go ahead and re-license on a new machine.  However it couldn't hurt to send an email to NI Support indicating that you have done so.

    How do you deactivate a license on a machine when the hard drive crashes?

    My backup is done with Shadow Protect, which as well as providing incremental backups - it adds any changes to the back up every 18 minutes - it also allows you to keep an image of your boot drive.  This image has t be accompanied with a bootable CD, so if your boot drive crashes, you can be up and running again in minutes.  I've never needed that feature, but I have lost two data drives in the last two years, and Shadow Protect came to the rescue both times.  One of thos drives was have a raid0 with many hundreds of hours of video editing.  It would have been a huge disaster to have lost that.

    You can't deactivate without running the program.  Your options are:
    Fit your hard drive to another computer, disconnect all other drives, and run it in Safe mode (because all the drivers will be wrong).  You might be able to open Photoshop to deactivate it (depending on what the screen resolution is in Safe Mode.
    Phone customer support. Explain your problem, and ask them to reset Activations.

  • How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed?

    How do I deactivate a license from a computer that crashed and can no longer be accessed? I cannot use the software on my new computer because of too many users.

    Will you please provide a specific telephone number or chat link? I seem to be in a loop, that gets me back to the same place:
    I click on your above link ...
    Then Deactivation and sign-out problems
    Then Error "Activation limit reached" or "Sign in failed" | Adobe products
    Then Can't access your previous computer?
    Then "Don't have access to the previous computer on which you installed the application?Contact us. Be sure to have any purchase-related information ready."
    "Contact Us" takes me back to "Need help?", which eventually directs me to this forum in the first place.
    Thanks you.

  • Cs3 - How do I deactivate one license from a distant inactive computer?

    System configuration
    (1) Registered cs3 for mac with serial numbers with me
    (2) Mac G5 inactive with one cs3 license and original disks in a distant location
    (3) MacBook active with a 2nd license with me
    (4) MacBookPro
    I migrated the cs3 from (3) to (4). How do I deactivate the license (2) to activate it on (4)?
    Thanks

    Contact support to reset activations. And forget about 3) and 4). You need to install your software properly, not migrate it.

    Hi Antonio,
    You simply need to reinstall the application again and you can follow the article: Creative Cloud Help | Download, install, update, or uninstall apps which will help you for the same.

  • How do you deactivate Photoshop CS3?

    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 you deactivate an old device to add a new device?

    iTunes allows 5 devices to store and sync.  How do you deactivate an old device to add a new device

    Not true at all.
    You can sync as many devices to one library as you like.
    You can only authorize 5 computers to your itunes account.  This has nothing to do with ipod/iphone/ipad/Apple tv

  • HT1420 How do you deactivate your itunes account?

    How do you deactivate your itunes account?

    Not sure what you mena by deactivate. You can deauthorise your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > Deauthorise This Computer menu option as mentioned on the page that you posted from.
    If you want to delete an account then that is not currently possible, all you can do is remove any personal info form it and stop using it. But any content that was bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account can authorise its content on a new computer, redownload the content, and download updates to its app.

    How do you deactivate software?

    If you mean uninstall it, just drag it to the trash or check to see if it has its own uninstaller.  Use Spotlight to make sure all the various bits and pieces of the app are deleted or use AppZapper to get rid of everything at once.

    How do you deactivate the security question so I can download apps and song ??

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

    How do I deactivate Creative Suite 3 from a computer I no longer have access to?

    As far as my experience in this forum goes, Adobe support has the ability to deactivate inaccessible installations.  Unless that has changed just recently it should still stand.  You can contact them thru chat and get it taken care of.
