How to "unauthorize or deactivate" computer from CC when in repair service?

How to unauthorize this computer from my CC account temporarily while being serviced for repairs?
I am taking my iMac in for servicing...from which it may never return...but it might...so I just want to "unauthorize" my Creative Cloud installed applications on my computer like I did in the past. I don't want to "uninstall" the applications in case I will still be using them on this computer but I don't want to be in the situation of having more than two computers authorized on my Creative Cloud account and being "locked out" if this computer becomes "decommissioned."
Sorry but I could not find this information in FAQ.
Thanks,
Ann Mehrman

Not sure why this didn't come up in the forum search engine but found it on the Adobe site through a Google search:
How to deactivate or sign out
A single license for Adobe software lets you install the applications on two computers—for example, at home and at the office. However, you can use the software on only one computer at any given time.
If you want to install the software on a third computer, deactivate the software on the computer on which you will no longer use the software. Then, activate the software on the new computer.
Creative Cloud Applications
Signing out of one Creative Cloud application deactivates all Creative Cloud applications associated with your Adobe ID on that computer.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Sign Out (Your Adobe ID).
Click Sign Out.
Alternately, you can sign out from all Creative Cloud applications on your machine using the Creative Cloud app for desktop.
Open the Creative Cloud Desktop App.
Choose the Settings icon.
Choose Preferences.
Choose Account.
Choose Sign Out from Creative Cloud.

  • I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and  have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

    I have 5 computers authorized to use my iTunes. 2 of those computers do not exist and  have had their hard drives destroyed. How do I remove those computer from my iTunes account?

    Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
    Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
    This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
    A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
    In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
    Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

    How do you prevent the computer from shutting down when in sleep mode and plugged in?

    Thanks tjk.
    Those are great suggestions and got me looking in places I had not considered before. Unfortunately, the problem remains. The System Preferences did not have the shut down option activated and there are no parental controls active on the computer.
    Any other suggestions are welcome.

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

    how do I remove a computer from icloud

    Make a local folder of the same (or different) name. In the Open dialog of Pages, click the iCloud toolbar button. You can move individual or selections of documents, but only copy folders from iCloud to your local filesystem.
    Click once on the iCloud folder, and then select all the documents you want to move to the above open local folder. Drag/drop into the local folder. You will be challenged about your decision to move these documents. Agree to it. Once all of these documents have moved, the iCloud folder will vanish as it has no content.

    My husband deleted my laptop's bookmark bar from his iPad.  We didn't realize in doing so it would wipe it out on the laptop, too!
    The iPad is using the same AppleID/iCloud as the laptop.
    On the laptop, go to iCloud Control panel and uncheck Bookmarks.
