How to deactivate and activate cc + older photoshop?

I'm about to buy a new laptop. Will copy my hard drive to external drive. Then wipe drive on old laptop, install newest apple system and give to my wife. I've never had to do this before so any advice, help with all this is appreciated.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I'm thinking to deactivate CC. I have the photoshop/lightroom package. But there doesn't seem to be a deactivate in Photoshop. Is signing out of CC and signing back in enough?
I've also got versions CS5 and CS6 on this old laptop. I can deactivate these. I guess I can just activate them if i want when I clone my external drive to the hard drive in the new computer, right? I'll probably just activate CS6. Not install CS5.
These aren't about cc or photoshop, but I've also got CS3 versions of Illustrator and Indesign. I'd also like to deactivate and activate them for the new computer.
Am I thinking right about all this? Just want all this available on my new 'puter. Don't want to screw up access, so I'm asking before I even buy the new computer and start my cloning. Hope to buy the computer next week...
thanks for any help...
oh, I'm not sure it matters, but I'm gonna buy apple's 15 inch macbook pro, i7, 500gb ssd, 16gb of ram...should be a nice upgrade to my April 2008 macbook pro with 6gb or ram...

Yes, it is.

No. Stay away from any cloning/ image backups/ migration assistant. All Adobe apps require a proper reinstall or else you are in all kinds of trouble.

    why exactly u need to deactivate and activate in lo extraction?

    <FONT FACE = "Tahoma", Font Color = "Blue">
    Hi<br>
    You won't really be deactivating any extract structure or datasource because it will stop data transfer. However if you change the structure and do not activate it then it will be in modified version (or deactivate state) for system.

    Hope it helps.<br>

  • How to install and activate photoshop and lightroom on new pc- no cd disk drive

    My old PC no longer works so I've purchased a new one. How do I deactivate Photoshop cs6 extended and Lightroom 3 and download and activate them on my new PC- that has no cd disk drive?

    Since you are allowed to have two activated installations, it is not necessary to deactivate the old installation, but if the machine is unuseable then you probably should.  COntact Adobe Support by chat or phone to have them deactivate before you install on the new machine if you are not able to.

  • Difference between DEACTIVATE and ACTIVATE replication Types.

    Hi All,
          Replication agent can handle Deactivate and delete pages/nodes etc. I am trying to find what the difference between the two if I use the replication agent directly in the java code to deactivate/delete some content. I was under the impression that Deactivate mandates that the path should present on the source/author instance so that replication agent marks that page as deactivated and proceeds with the delete on the destination. And similarly delete deletes the page on the destination with no respect to the state of the page/node on the source. But that does not seem to be the case. If I use the replication agent directly in java code to deactivate the page i dont see the staus changing on the page ( the usual red dot) to indicate deactivate page but on the target the source gets deleted. Also found that any node can be deactivated (which internally deletes)
    So,  why we have two replication agent types which almost same behavior?
    NOTE: I am using 5.4. If you see anything different on 5.5/5.6 let me know.

    Sham,
          SOrry, my subject is wrong and thanks for the response. But when I use the replication agent to deactivate the page in a java program ( not via workflow nor from site admin) I dont see this behavior. I mean if I write a java class to use a replication agent and pass it a path (page or node) I see following behavior:
    1. Page is NOT marked as deactivated on Author
    2. The page/node is deleted on the destination.
    What extactly marks page as deactivated on author instance.

  • How to dynamically deactivate and activate parameters on selection screen?

    Hi,
    I need to deactivate/activate a parameter in my selection screen whenever i clicked on a particular radiobutton. I could deactivate the parameter when the screen is first loaded using the following code,
    <i>AT SELECTION SCREEN OUTPUT.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
      IF SCREEN-NAME = 'P_DATE'.
         SCREEN-INPUT = '0'.
         MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.</i>
    But I have problems capturing the event when the user click on the radiobutton, so i could activate the parameter. I did not create any screen.
    Is there a way to solve this problem w/o creating a screen. If none, how do I go about it after I have created a screen for selection.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • How to deactivate the serial number for photoshop elements that is not installed or available?

    I have a version of Photoshop elements that has been uninstalled and is no longer available to reinstall.  When I uninstalled from an old computer, I failed to deactivate the serial number.  How can I do that without reinstalling?
    Thanks

    Wow, I tried the "chat" option and waited for 30 minutes....no one ever helped.....so I called a customer service number for the creative club option and they promised to put me though to someone who could deactivate my product.....waited another 30 minutes on hold.  So then I called the sales department and wow, just as I thought......someone took my call right away.  (Please note that the computer that the software I am trying to deactivate has been reformatted and I am unable to deactivate in that manner).  I asked the poor sales rep, why on earth would I spend hundreds of dollars for new software when the only people who you can get to help you are the sales people.  I think I will stick with free open source applications........this is so not worth it......

  • Unable to deactivate and activate Adobe Creative Suite

    Hi,
    I was unable to deactivate my latest installation of Creative Suite because my hard drive crashed. Now, with a new hard drive, I am unable to activate my copy of the product because I have reached the activation limit.
    I need help with deactivating the copy which was on the spoilt hard drive.
    I have tried many times and failed to contact Adobe via live chat, because I am never able to get through with an available agent. Also, I cannot seem to find any Adobe Customer Care email address, or any number to call (I live in Singapore), or any other portal by which I can reach Adobe.
    I have had this dragging for weeks and I am getting quite impatient about this matter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You have to use the web chat. TRhere is no way around it, as annoying as it may be.

    If that was the SIM card that came with it or was using it last when it had service, it should still go through the motions of getting passed the activation screen. Check out the article below for more information.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS. I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.

  • How to download and activate CC on new laptop?

    I have signed onto my Adobe account on new laptop successfully.
    I have quit the Adobe application manager etc. on old laptop.
    However when I try to download Creative Cloud app on new machine nothing happens.
    Please can you advise?

    thanks for this.  In the meantime Sunita in the chat room talked me through a successful download of installer.
    all was going fine, until I tried DW CC having synced it with the Cloud.
    The local file was not displaying correctly so I thought I would uninstall and re-install DW CC.  Now the CC manager still shows that DWCC is installed even though I cannot now
    open it?  How do I proceed please?
