I'm reinstalling Windows 7. What information will I need to reinstall CS5?

Hello,
I'm planning to wipe my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7. What will I need to reinstall CS5? Do I just need my serial number? How can I find that? Do I need to contact customer support if I can't find it?
Thanks

You should deactivate your CS5 suite before wiping anything so that you have your activation available.  This is usually done by opening one of the applications and choosing Help -> Deactivate.
You will need your serial number.  If you own the disc then it should be located on the disc cover.  If you registered the software then it should be available thru your Adobe account online.  If neither of these work out, then you would have to contact Adobe support directly and provide sufficient evidence that you own the application to see if they will provide you with the serial number.
If you purchased an upgrade version of CS5 you will also need to have the name and serial number for the qualifying older version that you upgraded from.

    I would like to connect a 'non mac monitor' to my mac to use two screens, what cord will I need?

    Have you found your question yet?
    Well as you can tell this isn't very active especially when your asking a question in a cross platform trouble shooting forum.
    You don't say what computer you have so no one can even guess, you should put the model/year of the computer your on and the Mac OS version your using into your profile so we can help you better. (Example, 2010 MacPro, OS10.6 and Windows 7.)
    Try here and pick your computer to get more help. Click on the Communities link and then the Discussions link and you should find a post that has already asked your question or you can search and you should find a bunch also.
    From what I understand your Mac needs to support dual monitors and you need to have 2 video ports available and just get an adapter if needed for the connection between the computer and the monitor.

  • What information do I need to prove I have insurance?

    what information do I need to prove I have insurance? My MacBook Pro recently hretoasn't wanted to turn on, so tomorrow it will be brought to an Apple Store to get fixed. I will not be going with who is bringing it; I have insurance for the laptop which I believe the peopl at the Apple Store will ask questions to verify I have insurance and things like that. If you could tell me the information I need, so I can give the information to the people who're bringing it.
    Thank you

  • What information do i need?

    What information do i need to use an airport with a dsl Ethernet router?

    That is kind of a broad question.
    If you already have a router there really isn't any information you need. Just configure the AX so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED and then connect the AX to one of the Ethernet LAN ports on the router.
    For a secure wireless network you will want to enable WPA wireless encryption when you configure the AX.

  • Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769) | Windows 7 | What driver do I need?

    Hello,
    fist of all I'd like to mention that I am german and consequently am not familiar with all the technical terms in their english incarnation. I am going to describe what I mean the best way I can.
    Here's what happened: I fell victim to a virus the other day, which forced me to format my harddrive an reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop, a Lenovo 3000 N200 (0769). All went smoothly exept for one thing: I can only choose between a solution of 800x600 and 1024x768. This is apperently due to my computer not beeing able to detect my graphics-device-card-thingy. I know it is in there however, because before i reinstalled Windows everthing was fine.
    Assumably there is a driver missing. I tried to find out which one I it was by installing Everest and have it have a look at it, but a message popped up that Everest does not suport my particular laptop. And indeed there was no information it could give me concerning my graphic devices.
    I wound greatly appreciate any help I could get.
    Thanks,
    Giles

    please provide the device name or/and id. ( such as pci\ven_8086&dev_2929&subsys )
    ( just click the unknown devices from the device id tab )

  • What equipment will I need to enable me to charge my blackberry curve in Israel for a year?

    Hello, I'm going to Israel for a year and I need some sort of converter or something like that in order to charge my blackberry. I am completely ignorant in this department and so I need some information. Please be thorough in your response. Please help, thank you so much and take care.

    What kind of format will you be working with?
    HD? HDV????? DV? Beta?
    I'd buy the biggest baddest mac you can afford - 2 gigs memory is fine unless you can swing 4. Fill the 4 bays with at least 500gig drives (but....)
    The rest will depend on what format you will be using.

  • What information do you need ready for engineer?

    Is there information I need ready for the engineer to make the install go quicker and more smoothly?
    (other than a print out of the email)
    Will it always be setup will all the default names and passwords or do I need a name for the wireless, password etc ready?
    I've heared it's not a good idea to name keep the defaults or choose a name for your wireless network that identifies the house it's from.
    Also are there any hardware/wiring decisions that need making?

    Are you already using the home hub ? if so then you don't really need to do anything as the engineer installs a modem that will connect to it. He'll change the faceplate on your master socket - that's the one where the line comes into your property. then he runs some tests and drinks the cup of tea you made for him.
    If you're not already using the hub  - set it up before the visit (I think they'll send it to you a couple of days prior to the visit) . It comes with a handy pull out with the ID and password. And if you want, you can change these after you've got it working - you access it via your computer. If you change it then don't set it to anything that's easy to guess or identifies you or your address - good practice to keep it obscure and private!
    so 'James1' = bad,
    'T48FgC+C9#' = good (but make up your own obviously)
    with regards wiring you just need to think about where you need the modem and router to be (both need power) and whether you are wireless or wired - that's kind of up to you and how you like things done. If it help : both my bits are by the front door of a semi detached - imac is upstairs and wireless and laptop is in sons room also wireless, PS3 in back room also wireless - no issues at all in connection nor speed. I do sometimes use powerlines for the PS3
    I think the engineer will run an extention cable for you if needed but no drilling/fixing etc... I'm guessing a bit on that and maybe someone else can advise.

  • When I click on a link, I would like the new web page to open in the same window. What settings do I need to do this ? Thank you.

    I tried the options / tabs and I could not find a setting for this. I am running Windows 7 with Firefox 5.0 Thank you.

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.

  • I just ordered an iPad mini 2.  What else will I need for smooth sailing?

    I know there's a new style charging design on it. While I know enough to buy a cover right away, are there other synching type things I will need, or charging devices?

    I've never had an iPad before.  I've got an iTouch and a couple of Macbook Pros.   I don't have an iPhone.  I have a stupid phone.  Fits my needs.
    But I keep reading about some new design on the new iPhones and Air/ipad mini 2 that will require something different.    Are you saying there's really nothing else I have to buy?  That would be nice.
