How to deactivate serial # on dead computer

This is the 3rd computer I've installed CS4 - the other 2 crashed.  I have the hard drive from the most recent computer.  How do I deactivate the CS4 serial number so I can run it on this new computer?

You need to call support to have activation count reset.

  • How to deactivate cs5 on dead computer

    Adobe I would like to deactivate my CS5 design premium on all other computers but the latest one. One computer is dead and the drive reformatted, the other was a refresh and re-installed. They say the only way to do that is to contact you but there is not phone support nor email. So how do I go about fixing this problem when I am only using CS5 on one computer? I am really hoping it fixes my problem because I cannot update and who knows what else.

    It can be deauthorized by using Web Chat. Here's a link:

  • HT1329 I have a dead computer with itunes on it.  How do I deauthorize a dead computer?

    How do you deauthorize a dead computer for itunes?  We only get 5 computers, and I need a new computer to be authorized for itunes.

    If you've got 5 computers authorised for the account in question, and you need to free up authorizations, I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.

    How Do I deathorize a dead computer and transfer my old itunes library to a used computer.

    There is no need to deauthorize unless you've reached the 5 computer max.  If you have reached that max, deauthorze all computers and then authorize the one's you actually have.
    As for moving the library, use the backup of the computer to move all the content to the new computer.

  • HT1420 How do I deauthorize a dead computer

    As I said, how do I deauthorize a dead computer?

    Expanding on what Niel said, you cannot yourself deauthorize a computer that's not working or to which you no longer have access. You can authorize a total of up to five systems, so it's probably not really important that you deauthorize your dead unit now. Once you reach five total authorizations, a button will appear in your iTunes Store account that will allow you to deauthorize all your systems, so that would at that time recover the now-useless authorization.  
    If for some reason you really feel you need to deauthorize that system now, you can try contacting  the iTunes Store customer support department through their Contact form (follow the on-screen instructions)  and explaining the problem to them. They might be willing to clear your authorizations for you.
    Regards.

  • How to deactivate serial number if unable to open Adobe

    I bought a new computer and wanted to transfer Adobe CS4 Creative Suite on it (I have unlimited installation for it).
    I didn't deactivate correctly the serial number and now that I have unistalled the whole Suite, I cannot install it on my new device.
    NOTE: I did try to re-install Adobe but I am now unable to Re-Install it, so I can't do "Adobe > Help > Deactivate"
    Is there any way to deactivate serial number other than going into the Help bar inside Adobe software?

  • How Do I Decommission a Dead Computer

    A family iMac died and now I need to decommission it so that I can commission a new laptop. Hpw may I decommission it?

    You can't de-authorize a 'dead' computer.
    If you reached the limit of 5 authorizations, you can de-authorize all computers once a year:
    About iTunes Music Store authorization and deauthorization
    If you didn't reach that limit yet, you can request to de-authorize all computers using the form at the bottom of this page:

  • How to deactivate serial numbers PEPE10

    I Restored my computer to its factory defaults. when reinstalling  PEPE10, Accidentally installed disc 1, I should have installed disc 2 for windows 7 x64bit.The uninstaller tells me to deactivate and remove serial numbers used when installing on my machine.  Question is how do I do that? Please help.

    Well to deactivate, you just need to launch Editor. Go to Help menu, and click on Deactivate button.
    Deactivation is for the purpose that you can use your license on 2 computers, and remove the license from the ones you don't use right now. So you should always deactivate you PEPE version before formatting your machine.

  • How do i deauthorise a dead computer?

    How do i deauthorise old computers if they have died. i'm up to computer number 4.

    About deauthorizing specific computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3809988 - Only, if you have physical access to the computer or are running VNC, otherwise you have to deauthorize all computers. De-authorize all computers button may not appear until you actually have 5 authorized and you can only do this once a year.

  • How to de-authorized a dead computer.

    Hi there,
    I have already authorized the maximum of 5 computers for Home Sharing, but 3 of those computers have since died and been sold for parts.  So obviously, they're not sharing anything anymore.  I don't know why I never thought to de-authorize them before we got rid of them, but now I'm stuck.  I just bought a new laptop, and I can't even share my own music with myself.  So how do I de-authorize those computers, if they don't even exist anymore?
    I know there are other ways to transfer the music.  That is not what I'm asking, though. 
    Thanks in advance.

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.
    For more information on authorization and de-authorization: iTunes Store- Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC.

  • Hi there. How do I get a dead computer deauthorized from my apple ID?

    One of my laptops died and I couldn't deauthorize it. Between my wife, my child and myself there are six devices using the same apple ID. How do I deauthorize all of them and then authorize the existing devices?
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Faure

    I'd do a "Deauthorize All" from one of the computers you have access to, and then reauthorize the computers you have access to.
