I forgot to deactivate CS6 before reinstalling the OS

I reinstalled OS X Lion, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first. Is this going to be a problem? I'm counting on two installs...

You get 2 activations which allow you to install the software on 2 machine, hence if you have exceeded the activation count then contact Adobe support to get the activation resetted otherwise there shouldn't be any problem.

  • I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first

    I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first. I had CS6 installed on two computers. I deactivated CS6 on one computer, then installed CS6 on another computer. I then had issues with the new computer and am reformatting the disk. Problem is, I forgot to deactivate CS6d from the new computer. Will this mess me up?

    Computer reconfiguration or replacement
    You can receive an activation error if your computer has changed recently. You can't solve this problem on your own, if you've done one of the following:
    Changed your computer's configuration, for example, due to a crash:
    Upgraded your computer hardware
    Replaced a hard drive
    Upgraded the Operating System
    Gotten a new computer and old computer is unavailable
    Contact Adobe Support specialists via chat or over the phone on 1-866-772-3623.
    Keep your serial number handy. Look for your serial number on the CD or DVD case, or in the email confirming your purchase. For assistance locating your serial number, see Find a serial number.

  • Can I reinstall PS CS6 without reinstalling the whole suite

    Photoshop is angry. There seems to be no solution short of uninstall/reinstall. Is there a way to uninstall just Photoshop and then reinstall just Photoshop without messing with the rest of the suite. Everything else is running smoothly. I'm running CS6 Production Premium on Windows 7 64-bit.
    Thanks!

    Simply run the suite installer again. There is no way to install apps selectively from a suite otehr than by using the customization options in the full installer. If necessary, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool before reinstall. Though, to be honest, I think it's unlikely that your problems can be fixed with a reinstall. Perhaps simply the prefs are messed up or you installed some incompatible plug-in...

  • Forgot to deactivate PS before deinstalling it. Now I can't reinstall it on another computer. Help?

    Hey there!
    I've got a rather massive problem. I own the student versions of PS CS4 extended and PS CS5 extended. Now I bought a new laptop and wanted to install CS5 on the new one. It was installed on the old one and as I didn't know that you had to deactivate it first before deinstalling it.. I didn't. Now I can't install it on my new laptop, though I own everything. The serial number doesn't work anymore of course and god how this annoys me. Does anyone know what I could do? I mean I spent money, I own the CDs and I don't know what to do x.x
    Please?

    Hey!
    I don't really receive an error. I put in the install CD, want to enter my serial number and the programme says that this code does not work (of course because the system thinks that I still use the number for my old laptop.. but I don't.. does that make any sense?). So I can't install it because the serial number is "wrong" although I've got the right one. I should breathe in and out and maybe try to explain it again. Sounds really weird but I hope you get me.. somehow..

  • I forgot to "deactivate" CS6 Extended before formatting my computer

    I plan on re-installing it on my new computer. Should I expect to run into any issues with activation? Thanks in advance for your time!

    You can install on 2 computers.  If you have an activation problem, or need it on 2 computers the version on the old computer is still considered active.
    You would have to call customer seervice and explain the issue.  They can reset activitation.

  • Creative cloud licenses, forgot to deactivate one and formatted the drive.

    I recently put one of my creative cloud licenses on a Lenovo laptop. My other is on my MacBook which I use primarilly.
    My Lenovo was malfunctioning, so I took it in to exchange it and formatted the drive, not thinking that I should deactivate my applications.
    My question is, will I be able to use my second license now on my new computer?

    Also the process is different for subscription users so we can not just allocate an additional activation as can be done with our perpetual versions.
    I wasn't aware of that, Jeff.
    What's different about it?

  • How do I revert to CS6 after trying the extended version and not buying.

    I tried the CS6 extended version and decided not to buy it.  Now I cannot open my own registered CS6 software.  Clicking on the CS6 icon brings up the expired trial dialog box and unless I buy, it closes the software.  CS6 extended is not listed as a program that can be uninstalled.  Seems as though I've been hijacked!  I tried to find the answer by using the chat contact resource but they told me I needed to try the forums. 

    Does it show as activated under Help?
    The only difference between Extended and Non-Extended is a serial number.  The actual software is the same.  I'd suggest simply reinstalling, but I'm guessing that you did not deactivate your original CS6 before switching the Extended Trial?
    It might be that you will need to contact Customer support, and explain what has happened, and ask them to reset your Activations.  Wait a bit though, in case a better idea comes along.

  • I have use Apple TV with the remote app on my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5 I reinstalled the app on my iPad but the gestures do not work

    I have been able to use my remote app from my iPad4 and my iPhone 5 until recently. I can connect and the tap to select works fine. But the app stopped responding to hand gesutres to navigate the ATV screen. All my software is updated to the latest versions. I deleted the app from my iPda and reloaded it from the app store. I turned off all my devices, including my router before reinstalling the app. I did not unplug the ATV. The app will activate the ATV and tapping menu brings me to the main screen but I cannot navigate the screen at all.

    It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

  • I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new hard drive installed with a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be

    I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.
