I need to uninstall & reinstall acrobat
Due to a conflict with another program, I need to uninstall & reinstall acrobat, but I'm not sure what my serial number is. I have multiple copies licensed under my e-mail address. Is there any way in the program to find the serial number?

Need to uninstall-reinstall CS4
I have CS4 Design Premium on a Vista Biz 32 bit
system. It's not an upgrade but a new purchase. The only trial CS4 product I had
was DW which was removed long before installing CS4. The original install seemed
fine...no known issues. Been successfully using PS, InD, DW & Illustrator.
Just learned that my Flash install doesn't work...also my Distiller.
I have a ticket with Adobe. They said I had too
many fonts installed which seems like a crock. But I managed to get down to 230
fonts and tried a new install of Flash from Safe Mode. Still no joy. I didn't
know at the time that Distiller was also broken. I'm not sure if trying the
CS4Clean Script is appropriate or not. I haven't wanted to uninstall my working
stuff as I'm WORKING!
But I have an open day on Saturday. So what would
be the most effective approach to try to get my entire suite running? I don't
want to loose what I already have working. Should I do a complete uninstall, run
the clean up, reboot and then try a complete new reinstall? Are the fonts an
issue? Should I get them all off again? I know nothing else can be open
including AV. Anything else I need to know to make this work? I do not want to
spend my entire weekend on this.
Thanks,
SheilaI feel like I'm talking to myself here...but I'll keep posting on the off
chance SOMEONE will help me?!!!
Did you know Adobe Tech is closed on the weekends? I sure didn't. That was a
big disappoinment. So I went it alone today and got absolutely nowhere...
Here's what I just posted to them...
I got down to 220 fonts despite everyone on the message board saying they
have 1000+. I completely removed CS4 including using Windows Install Clean
up and CS4 Clean also. I rebooted, had everything closed and off (AV,
firewall, no internet connection)...reinstalled. Experienced the following
issues:
1) when installing it says I need a Vista service pack but I'm up to date
2) every time I right click on anything it initialized Acrobat Installer
again. This was my previous ticket which you guys never solved. But I solved
it using Windows Install Clean Up. So I'll do that again this time.
3) When I tried to uninstall Adobe Media Player I got the attached error.
4) When I first rebooted after install I got a error that there was already
a copy of Distiller running.
5) I STILL cannot access Flash (all other programs appear at this time to be
functional). It always crashes at the same point, when it's building the
workspace.
The only trial version I had installed was for DW and it's long gone and
cleaned off. I still have CS3 installed. This is not an upgrade but a full
new version.
I have a lot of time into this. Your response time on the last issue was
more than a week and by then I'd solved the problem. I was going to try to
work with tech on the phone today but you're not open on the weekends!
Pretty sad. I hope I get some timely and helpful answers from you this time.
I don't know what else to try.
Thanks,

I need to uninstall/reinstall will I lose the songs I didn't purchase through ITunes?
For some reason I am getting a message to uninstall and reinstall ITunes. Not all the songs in my library were purchased at the ITunes store. Will I lose these songs during the uninstall/reinsall process?
no your music files arnt stored in itunes so uninstalling and reinstalling wont delete them.
If anything you might have to locate the files and reopen thim in itunes to put them back in your library. If thats the case...this should help you find your music files to put them back.
Where are my iTunes files located?

Photoshop CS3 - need to uninstall & reinstall but deactivation is grayed-out
Photoshop CS3 was living happily for quite a while on my system running Windows 7 32-bit, however, lately, upon closing, it freezes, requiring a cntrl-alt-del to force quit. It has the 10.0.1 patch, the latest. A repair re-install did not fix the problem, and I am not aware that I installed anything recently with which it should conflict. I have tried the various tips & tricks on the forums related to refreshing caches, etc., but to no avail. Something's broken that I hope to fix with a clean install. Buying the latest cloud version of Photoshop is not in the budget ... I just want to get back to where I was ...
I believe I need to do a complete uninstall of PS CS3, including manually deleting all registry entries related to CS3, Adobe, Photoshop, etc. + running cleaner utilities. While not too happy about that, I'm willing to try it. Here's the problem, I suspect that I will also need to deactivate first to prevent some issue with Adobe to later re-activate the fresh install ... the trouble is, part of what seems to be corrupted are the menu items relating to "deactivate", "activate", etc. ... they are grayed out, so I have no way to deactivate before I attempt a complete uninstall.
A few questions;
Is there a known issue and fix for a missing deactivation / activation menu options for PS CS3?
Is there a way to manually preserve the activation key and remove all the other possible corrupted files and registry entries so that I can do a clean install?
Is there another way to fix a corrupted install of PS CS3?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!Yes, I had already googled and found all those 3rd party solutions before I posted my original question ... I'm not too comfortable with those, rather, I am looking for a "cleaner" solution directly from Adobe. By the way, I re-installed PS CS3 again, then ran the CC Cleaner tool BEFORE uninstalling ... it did function doing this, it removed PS CS3, but left other parts installed (Bridge CS3), I then re-installed PS CS3, but the result was no better than using the Windows uninstaller.
The more I get into this, the more I think I may need a fresh install of my Windows 7 and all applications ... problem is, I still can't deactivate Photoshop CS3 so as to re-install it on a fresh system build ... that is, unless the Adobe server would recognize my computer's motherboard s/n and Windows 7 key and allows automatic re-activation ... does their server go by number of current activations or does it remember particulars of each current activation so as to "refresh" the activation on a clean install to an old computer previously activated?
Is it just me, or is this too many hoops to jump through to fix what used to be a solid piece of software? Is there some recent Windows patch identified as conflicting with CS3 software? -

Hi,
Running ZCM 11sp1a on Suse11sp1 64 bit.
I need to uninstall/reinstall the agent on a Linux 11sp1 server. When
installing the agent I get a message back saying the agent is already
installed. If I run "zac reg -g https://zenserver.domain" I get an "Unknown

So, two question ... How do I remove the Zen agent and using the "zac reg"
command how would I re-register any workstation agent to a new zone?

Need to reinstall Acrobat 7.1 Pro on Panther
I'm running OS X 10.3.9 and meet all other system and hardware requirements for CS2.3 Premium, which I recently purchased and installed.
The instructions for CS 2.3 Premium installation said to skip Acrobat 7 Pro and install Acrobat 8 after the Suite install.
Word-for-word from the instructions:
4. Select the components you would like to install, except Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional, and click Continue ...
7. ...insert the Creative Suite 2.3 Premium Upgrade with Acrobat 8 Professional DVD.
8. Copy the Acrobat 8 Professional folder onto your hard disk ...
My set of 4 disks had no options for a custom install, so I proceeded to install everything and uninstalled 7 later, then installed 8 as instructed.
When I realized Acrobat 8 won't run on Panther, it was too late. In the Read Me file on the Acrobat 8 disk, it said I would need 10.4.3 or higher. Why wasn't this stated in the initial Suite install instructions?
There's some misleading info here. I opened a case with Adobe, and the case was "Withdrawn." Here's the response I got:
"A Technical Support specialist has reviewed your support request. We regret to inform you that complimentary support for Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 Is not available and/or has expired." (Form letter?)
But they kindly provided a link for service contract sign-up. I also received an email promoting new products...
I have already run an uninstall for Acrobat 8 and ferreted out and trashed all Acrobat 7 files using Adobe's instructions on this site.
Is there a way to reinstall Acrobat Professional 7 without moving the entire Suite to the trash as described in the Adobe Creative Suite "Read Me First" file?
When I put in the Suite install disk, I get this message after entering my admin. password:
"The application Adobe Installer has unexpectedly quit"
Could my disks be defective after only one use?
I also ran some maintenance and found out I have a corrupt user Pref:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.ami.installer.plis
(No "t" at the end on log report)
I've searched this site and haven't seen that anyone has had a similar problem. Does any of this sound familiar? Any words of wisdom?
If it helps ...
Current hardware/software:
G4 450 APG, with 1.75 GB memory.
Hard drive (new, Maxtor STM320080A) OS X 10.3.9 on the 1st partition (98.18 GB) OS 9.2.1 on the 2nd partition (29.92 GB)
Purchased & installed CS 2.3 shortly after replacing hard drive and installing Panther.Thank you for your input. I realize now that the problem is bigger than that. I've done a lot of research since I wrote the initial post, and I think there are compatibility issues.
All my other CS2.3 applications erred out after uninstalling Acrobat 8 and the remnants of 7. After doing some research, I found that when installing from the Suite, some programs have shared files that can be deleted unintentionally after uninstalling individual apps.
I ended up deleting the entire CS2.3 Suite.
In the CS2 Read Me First file, that the recommended OSes for CS2.3 are Mac OS X v.10.2.8 through v.10.3.8 (10.3.4 through 10.3.8 recommended; G5 requires v.10.3 or later.) 10.3.9 is never mentioned. I was sure my OS was compatible when I purchased the Suite. Wrong, obviously!
The packaging on the Suite says 10.4.3 is required. The upgrade disk in the Suite for Acrobat 8 is the only app. that requires 10.4.3. If you follow the Suite installation instructions, it says NOT to install Acrobat 7. There is no word about system compatibility on the initial Suite instructions, and Read Me First files weren't updated with the Suite package (I'm sure the "Premium" marketing didn't included thatjust a repackaging of the original Suite with some add-ons.)
I have decided to reformat my hard drive and install OS 10.4.3.
There are also upgrades and patches available on Adobe's site that need to be made to ALL the CS2 applications. I have downloaded these and will save them outside of my machine so I can update as soon as I reinstall CS2 on the reformatted drive.
Many sites I've gone to show numerous problems with the CS2 Suite (CS3, too), many due to different issues than mine.
I still welcome any feedback about this and if there's anything I've overlooked, please comment.
I hope someone can learn from my mistake. This takes a lot of time and research, and I guess I didn't expect it to be this troublesome! And I am still researching ... -
Will uninstall/reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 affect PDFs already created?
I am receiving a message that I must uninstall then reinstall Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to fix a problem. Operating system. Windows 7. Problem on laptop only. No problem on desktop. Error message says: "Licensing for this product has stopped working. You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help. (148:3)" If I uninstall / reinstall will this affect the PDFs already created in My Docs? Is there another way?
The process with not affect the PDFs, but I would be concerned about registration and such. If you uninstall without deactivating, you may lose the second install option and have to call Adobe to reset. I would try a repair first and see if that helps. The repair can be done from Control Panel>Programs & Preferences (since you apparently cannot open Acrobat).
If you do uninstall, do the following before reinstalling: run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder. If Acrobat is part of a CS installation, you may need to check there (CS forum) for the proper way to reinstall.
If you have an upgrade, then be sure to have the SN of the previous product available. -

Do I need to reinstall Acrobat 9 Pro ?
Instructions on my CS5 Design standard say i need to uninstall earlier versions of Acrobat 9 Pro. I have Acrobat 9 Pro that I installed alongside CS3. Are the versions different or can i skip this step and use CS5 with my already installed version?
If you are at version 9.5.5 that was the end of the line for Acrobat 9.x. You are correct that Acrobat 9 is no longer supported. Adobe is only supporting Acrobat X and Acrobat XI at this time.
If you need to reinstall Acrobat 9 though you can still download the installer bits here: Download Adobe CS5 Free Trials – All Direct Links without Akamai | ProDesignTools
Make sure to follow the directions carefully and sign into the Adobe Trials page first with your Adobe ID. -
I need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes (it won't let me update). I have IE 8 on Windows XP, and iTunes 10 something. In my Program files list I see iTunes and iTunes (2) and even iPod and iPod (2) where a tech had to back up and do this for me before. I'm just trying to fix it all. I keep getting the "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below." I can even run a search and find the folder, but it gives me the same error message. I was planning on using the Microsoft Fix-It tool to help uninstall then Reinstall iTunes. But I need to backup my library. So, how do I copy or back up my iTunes library of over 1,500 songs? Can I copy the folder to desktop or can I use a Flash Drive to backup my music? I don't want to do anything until I know for sure how I can backup my songs, and then reinstall them into iTunes. Thanks for any help.
Ok, thanks that helps. I don't have an external hard drive though. What about backing up through 'the cloud'? I'm just wondering since my husband syncs his iPod to the PC through iTunes and he's worried that he will lose all the songs on his iPod if the library is lost from iTunes and he tries to 'sync' it up again. I'm not exactly sure how to 'copy the entire iTunes folder' either. I kinda suck at this unless I have step by step instructions, which I haven't found yet on iTunes help or other sources.
The only way I know how to back anything up is by going back to a restore point, etc. (as stated before, we don't have an external hard drive.)
Thanks for the info. -

I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat Pro due to Windows 8 malfunction with starting up. I am trying to reinstall as I am an owner of the Creative Suite CS6 and I cannot access my serial number. I purchased the software in 2013 and never registered i, apparently. When directed on Adobe's site to access the serial number, it takes me to an outside 3rd party site, which I tried but it does not actually work. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey beccac85068042,
