How to uninstall CS6 trial?

I am having the worst time trying to unistall the trial of CS6 and restore my computer to working order. As the trial expired, there is now a constant screen for me to enter the serial number for the dammn thing. When I try to quit and exit, it goes away but then every other icon on my desktop has changed to an Adobe like icon, and it takes me to the same screen to enter the serial number telling me that the trial has expired! I cannot delete/uninstall the program from Windows control panel either! There is no explanation anywhere on how to deal with this issue. I need some help and step by step guidance, please?

Just to be sure, I'm adding brief instructions to initiate an uninstall.
1. In the Control Panel, select Uninstall or Change a program.
2. Locate Master Collection in the list and select it
3. Right-click and choose Uninstall. The uninstaller will start. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove the software.
If you see any errors, please post the details of the errors. That will help folks here give you a more relevant answers.

How to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop silently?

Hello,
We have a situation where we have to uninstall CS6 Indesign and Photoshop from dozens of computers. I would like to do this silently using Psexec or SCCM. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. We have installed both using a msi file and I have tried command "msiexec.exe /uninstall C:\Temp\Build\indesigncs6.msi /quiet" for indesign but nothing happens. When taking the quiet command away I get an error saying "This feature can only be used to programs that have been installed". The error message has been roughly translated from Finnish so it probalbly isn't excatly the same in English versions. Obviously this computer has Indesign installed.
I have also tried the PDApp.exe, but haven't been able to run that silently either. Command I've tried is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="silent" --mediaSignature="{CFB770D7-8D43-1014-922B-CC2715FADE3F}"
Is there a person who has successfully been able to silently uninstall Adobe Indesign or Photoshop CS6? If there is can you please tell us how to do it?

Thanks for answering. I tried to contact Adobe Support, but could not find out how to do that. I went to the Adobe Contact site and filled in what kind of problem I have and it just suggests that I ask from the community. If I try anything else it just leads me to the beginning.
You are absolutely correct that the CC Cleaner Tool is the way to do this. I have been able to generate cleanup.xml and used it. The problem is that the tool only finds Adobe Photoshop CS6 Driver version 13.0, Adobe Indesign CS6 Application Base Files version 8.0 and Adboe ID Credentials. It deletes these very efficiently and quietly. Problem is that it does not uninstall the whole program. For example all Adobe programs are still in the Start Menu and the Indesign folder is still found where it used to be. Have you any experience on this kind of problem?
Thank you in advance

Want to uninstall CS6 trial, but CS4 is gone

I was opening some old photos when I got a message that said I had to download an update. Photoshop would not open without this update. I fugured it was some security thing or other and now find that it has upgraded me to a CS6 trial. I don't want it and will NEVER pay a monthly rental for something installed on my hard drive, but it seems to have overwritten the CS4 I had installed.
It's given me the option to uninstall the trial, but am I then going to have to reinstall CS4?

Every version of Photoshop has a different default install path. You can have many version of Photoshop installed on a machine, Each Photoshop version is independent from the others versions of Photoshop. If the CS6 installer overlaid your CS4 installed you must have change where the CS6 installer installed CS6 and had it overlay CS4.
No CS4 update would update CS4 to CS6 and a CS6 Upgrade would leave CS4 intact.

How to uninstall a trial version of Adobe Pre Elements 11 if I already bought one at the App Store?

I installed a trial version of Adb Pre Elements 11, then bought the same app at the AppStore. I want to uninstall the trial version without affecting the one purchased. Please, what's the procedure?

Sapriil
Here is my take on your situation.
If you have the Premiere Elements 11 Mac tryout on your computer and it was downloaded from Adobe, you do not have the same program from the Mac Store under the name Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac Only). This Mac Store version of the program comes without the Elements Organizer 11.
So, I would review the wisdom of plugging a Mac Store purchased serial number into your Adobe tryout under the circumstances. I am not on firm ground here. But, if it is I suspect and you want what you purchased, then consider uninstalling the Adobe tryout and installing what you purchased from the Mac Store with the serial number that the Mac Store gives you.
I would ask Steve Grisetti to double check on this point before you proceed with the computer setup.
Did you realize that the Elements Organizer was not a part of the Mac Store version?
More later.
Thanks for the follow up.

How to uninstall CS6 suite when moving to CC

So I downloaded all the CC apps and installed them and now I was to uninstall the CS6 apps to free some space on my HDD.
I had CS6 with creative cloud subscription, and not a disk version, so when I go in the application/utilities/adobe installers folder I don't have a uninstall cs6 icon but only icons to uninstall the software one by one, like uninstall photoshop, or uninstall after effects...
So my question is; has anyone in that situation found out a way to uninstall all the CS6 apps at once instead of doing it one by one.
Thanks.

Hi antoinefromparis,
If the CS6 installed on your machine is a part of subscription and not a part of Suite and has been installed using Application Manager then you will only have the option to uninstall it one by one. We can only uninstall CS6 at once if it has been instaled as a part of suite.

Dead hard drive: how to 'uninstall' CS6?

My iMac hard drive has just died, with CS6 installed. I have the other permitted installation on my macbook pro. Once I get my hard drive replaced - or replace the iMac- I presume this will appear to be a third installation, and therefore not allowed. How can I get round this?
All advice appreciated.

How to uninstall CS3 trial version after expired.

I use a program that launches PhotoShop 7 to process pictures via MicroSoft Access. The program keeps trying to launch CS3 which is an expired trial version that I was doing some training on earlier this year. I had recently installed CS5 Extended Trial Version and then noticed that I could not use my program to launch Photoshop 7 to process my pictures so I uninstalled CS5 Extended from the Add/Remove Program list in the Control Panel.So now I'm having this problem of the Program trying to launch CS3.
I then recieve an error message "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
But, CS3 doesn't show in the Add/Remove Program list in the Control Panel.

Have you tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool?
Also, there are some utilities, that will survey your system for programs, that have been partially uninstalled, or are still installed, and clean up after them. I have used Clean Sweep in the past, when it was a part of Symantec's Norton SystemWorks, but I think that it is not affiliated with Norton anymore. Have not used it in many years/versions, so cannot comment. Others might have recs. on current utilities for cleaning up after an uninstall, or completely removing an installed program.
Good luck,

How to Uninstall the Trial Version of CS4 InDesign, clean?

I need to get back to CS2 InDesign and I don't want to have any issues with my other Adobe products in the meantime, until I purchase the upgrade to CS4 later. I know that I use the installer program. But do I check the 'Remove Application Preferences"?

Last night I uninstalled Creative Suite Premium without removing prefs, and then installed the master collection. I won't say it was 100% smooth, but as far as I can tell that was an anomaly due to my system configuration, and nothing whatever to do with my prefs. It was really nice to see ID and Photoshop loading with all the custom stuff from the past year.

How to uninstall CS6?

I am having problems with Premier and other programs and want to do a complete reinstall but am being hindered with uninstalling. I have downloaded the support advisor and the cleaner but does not help.

I attempt to uninstall and I get a 'uninstall failed' message. The message suggest downloading cleaner app which I have done and run. Then second suggestion is customer support which is about as useful as telling me to put my head in an oven.

How to uninstall trial elements 6

I don't know how to uninstall the trial version of elements 6. I can't load the new disc i bought today until the trial is removed.....I get errors. 2hrs with tech support was no help at all. Any thoughts.

I’m not sure if Photoshop Elements does it, but some software developers have their software periodically “phone home” to them. The software reports back to the developer’s web site and says, “Hi, I’m serial number 12345v6 and I’m running on a computer with the serial number of C02FCCD7DF92”. I don’t know the reporting interval, but let's say this phone home process happens once a week. This phone home process can only happen when you have launched the software on a computer and that computer is connected to the Internet.
By recording and comparing the serial numbers, this allows the software developer to know if you have installed this version of the software on more than one computer - which is a real No-No.
I don’t know that Photoshop Elements is using this phone home option, but how else could Adobe know that you are running the same serial number of Elements on two different computers? It’s not as though you’re phoning Adobe.
I don’t believe that there is a “deactivate” option that you need to select. What if the old computer had died yesterday, and you no longer could launch Elements to select a deactivate option?
If I’m right, you could “deactivate” the software, if you just stop using Elements on the old computer. That’s a bit dangerous because if you were to accidentally launch this software on the old computer - it will phone home.
To insure that you are safe, I’d uninstall the version by putting the version of Elements on the old computer in the trash, and emptying the trash. You then would only have the software installed on one computer.
