How to deactivate D11 on a Mac...

Since I'm ready to upgrade to 11.5 I did a search on best practices to avoid "surprises": I found at "Director @ Night" forum the following post: "When you install Director 11.5 it automatically overwrites 11. Meaning you just lost your Director 11 license because you did not deactivate it first.
If you want to go back to 11 because the new features break your old game, you have a problem. It will tell you your license has been used." I went to look for a: Help > Deactivate option (following Adobe´s advice on http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Director/11.5/UsingScripting/WSAE22EFF0-6FD1-4fe8-927A-9E364A6 12E8C.html ) and... there is no such option in my version of Director 11.
Any ideas? Does it has to do with a single-user retail license issue? Thanks in advance!

Rob, thanks. I saw your link and it has the same info that the PDF. And no... It seems to be something of the type of license that I have: there is no deactivate option under Help.
I'll try to uninstall it using the Adobe Installer. Let's hope that I'll be able to go back to 11 if 11.5 goes wrong.

  • Fl8 OSX - how to deactivate?

    Hi there,
    I want to move my Fl8 installation to a different Mac, but
    I'm not sure
    how to deactivate it on the current machine. I checked the
    menus,
    searched the Adobe KB, but to no avail.
    Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers Martin

    Hey fredb83300641,
    If you could not see Deactivate option under Help menu, then Acrobat has been already deactivated and the Activate option must be clickable at that time.
    If there is no Activate option as well under the Help menu, then Acrobat might not have activated properly on your machine.
    So, you can simply uninstall & reinstall the software and then again activate it using the same serial key.
    You can also refer the below mentioned link for Activation/Deactivation help for Acrobat :
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    Please try the same way and let me know.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • How to move photoshop from old mac to new mac?

    how to move photoshop from old mac book air to new mac book pro retina display (no disc drive)?

    It can be possible to use the Migration Assistant, but you must take into account that any recent Photoshop requires activation with a server account, like Apple iTunes does for purchases. To avoid potential problems, you want to make sure that you deactivate any software (like iTunes or Photoshop) that you have installed from any company that requires activation, and then reactivate them after you migrate. Otherwise it is possible that any software you activated might stop working if it notices that the underlying hardware has changed.
    Also, you only get 2 activations of Photoshop and 5 of iTunes, so you don't want to lose any because you forgot to deactivate before getting rid of the old Mac.
    Migration Assitant is not perfect, so the most reliable way to migrate is to deactivate Photoshop before migrating and then run a clean installation of it after migration using your original media and serial number.

    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • How to deactivate adobe illustrator 10?

    How to deactivate adobe illustrator 10?
    I want to decommission the old PC and install the illustrator 10 to the new PC.
    Thanks.

    Casper,
    To elaborate on what Larry said, with Win, once installed you should be able to get it to work fine, using Right-click the icon on your desktop or the shortcut on the Start menu, and then click Properties, then choose the (highest) compatible Windows version (XP for 10). With Mac, impossible.
    And as Doug said, activation, and hence deactivation, only came to haunt folk later.

  • How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

    Goal
    - I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
    - These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
    - However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
      (The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
    Attempt
    -I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
    -I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
    Troubleshoot
    -So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
    -Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
    Question
    -How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
    -I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
    -So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
    Computers
    -PC
    -Mac
    whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
    Thanks!

    After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

    The Apple ID for the iTunes stores and for the Mac App Store are the same account. You can only buy from the stores in the countries in which you have the qualifications. You must have a bank card in that country and the bank card must have a valid billing address in that country. Creating more than one Apple ID is a bad idea and will not help you get around the requirements.
