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 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 to deauth. Photoshop CS3 on computer w/ dead network card?

    Hi,
    The network card on my ~4-6 years old Windows XP PC at work died and the tech guy said the network card is part of the motherboard so it would make more sense to just get a new machine instead of fixing the existing machine.  Since I will be getting a new machine, I was wondering how to deauthorize the Photoshop CS3 that is currently on the broken computer since I can't get on the network.  I have the Photoshop CS3 install disk and codes and will need to reinstall Photoshop on the new machine once it arrives.  Thank you.

    and the tech guy said
    I agree with Marian - any halfway savvy network admin usually has a cheap replacement card in reserve or an USB to Ethernet adaptor that just need to be plugged in. Even without the correct driver, they normally run as a "Generic ethernet card on adress XX:XX:XX:XX", they may just be locked into the slowest of modes. That aside, calling is of course the next best alternative. It's really no big deal, as long as your current install is still functioning and you are able to produce the verification code.

  • 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 transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer

    How can I transfer Photoshop CS3 to my new computer. I cannot find the original documentation with serial number etc

    For downloads of CS3 see THIS thread.
    For your serial number, if Photoshop is still running on your old machine;
    Start Photoshop. Goto Help > System Info. Buried in amongst all the stuff in there will be your serial number. Read through it carefully.
    If Photoshop is not installed / running on your old machine, then you are indeed pretty much hosed.
    This is always assuming software that old will run successfully on a new machine, of course.

  • How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

  • How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    How do you get Photoshop Elements 9 to import from a scanner?

    In Elements 9, you may need to copy the Adobe TWAIN driver, if your scanner requires it, from the optional plug-ins folder to the Import-Export folder in the main plug-ins folder.
    You will need to copy the plug-in Twain_32.8ba
    Copy from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Optional Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    Copy to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins\Import-Export.
    N.B. on Windows 32 bit systems navigate to Program Files. Replace en_US with your own geographic location if necessary.
    On a Mac, go to Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Optional Plug- Ins à ImportModules, and move the TWAIN.plugin from there into Applications à Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 à Support Files à Plug-Ins à Import Modules. For the App Store version, go to Applications and Right- click/Control-click Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor and choose Show Package Contents à Contents and move TWAIN.plugin from Optional Plug-ins à ImportModules to Plug-ins à ImportModules. N.B. If you see a message warning that plug-ins can't be modified. Click Authenticate and enter your Mac OS X account password -then move the plug-in.

  • How do I install Photoshop CS3?

    My computer crashed and i need to reinstall photoshop CS3.  i cannot find this application online
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    How did you install Photoshop CS3 originally? If you originally had the application on disk but no longer have the disks available, you'll need to download a copy (unless you can find someone who still has a disk). If you originally purchased it from us via download, just log into your account and you can download another copy. If you need to download, but didn't download it from us originally, you can get a copy from here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    And Frank, CS6 will continue to be available for sale (not "rent") for the foreseeable future.

  • 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

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

    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.
