How to deactivate a Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac) serial key when the workstation with the activated installation has been entirely wiped?

Hello,
We have a license for Photoshop 10.0/CS3 (Mac version) but it appears that the users previous workstation was wiped without deactivating the installation of Photoshop. Now when he tries to activate the product, it says that the maximum number of activations allowed has been reached. Does this mean that we need to deactivate the serial key somehow? If so, how are we supposed to do it without the activated installation?
Thank you very much,

How to deactivate my photoshop elements 9

how to deactivate my photoshop elements 9, first time I tried, and it shows error. so I uninstalled it, thought it would solve the problem. What do I need to do now to deactivate it?

Is it still on your machine or have you uninstalled it? If it is still on your machine then try this:
Help >> Deactivate
The above is in the menu bar by going to Help tab and looking for deactivate item listed separately in it.
If you don't have it in your machine because you have uninstalled it then if you can install it again then follow the above method.
Alternatively, you can start a chat line by going to:

Select you product and follow the online instructions. You want something called activations, deactivations etc etc.

I also suggest, if you have enabled geo-localization and have associated an iCloud account to your iPhone, to localize your iPhone through a map on http://www.icloud.com. You may also block your iPhone, send a message to the iPhone and erase all your data.

Check the papers that came with your PC or the web site of the vendor. OEM versions are either on the recovery discs they provide or can be downloaded from their site.

How do I activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on a new computer after breakdown of the old computer (hard disc failure). Adope does not realize that I can not use this old computer anymore. I do not want to buy a new lizence.

If you mean you are getting a warning about having too many activations, you need to contact activation support:

There's usually a place in that window where you can start a chat session and get it straightened out right then.

How do I save a PDF ready for print. I have a problem with the fonts. The fonts are blurry after printing. There is a trick in saving PDF.

Hi el_giclee,
Important to note from the beginning is that when you create your Photoshop document make sure you chose 300 Pixels/inch as your resolution.
I'm interested in seeing your Save Adobe PDF dialog box after you choose to save the PDF.
Could you post a screenshot of this dialog box with the Compression menu selected on the left side?
It's a good idea to select High Quality Print or Press Quality in the Adobe PDF Preset menu at the top of this box. It will automatically select the best default settings for a printed piece.

i bought adobe Photoshop CC but didnt get serial number or verification email, whats the problem?

Hello Nikoloz,
first of all you should have a look there: https://www.adobe.com/account.html >>> see My productsView all >>> These registered products are associated with your Adobe ID. >>> Name >>> Serial number
If not successful use http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html >> see comments
On the other hand: Did you purchase your product from these firms like Amazon? If yes, this is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
Good luck!
