I will be re-imaging my computer onto a new drive - do I need to deactivate?

Hi, due to some font issues and crashing in Photoshop that I cannot fix, I will need to reformat my computer and completely re-install Windows 7, and Master Collection CS5.
Do I need to deactivate my CS5.5 before swapping out the drives and re-imaging? Or will it recognize the serial number of my computer and know that this is not a new install, just a replacement of the old one?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Formatting of any kind erases activation info and different drive mapping invalidates it, also. So deactivate. Better safe than sorry.

  • I created a new apple id account so that I didnt have to share my icloud with my brother, if i plug my phone into my computer onto my new account and sync it, then delete my old icloud from my phone will my new icloud be backed up and have all my pics ect

    I've just created this new apple ID account and i need to know that if i plug my phone into my computer and sync my phone onto my new account, then delete my old icloud and apple account from my phone will my things be backed up onto my new icloud? such as my pictures notes contacts music ect... ?

    Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

  • I just got my ipod from my dad and he has all of his songs on there from his mac, and so now he gave the ipod to me and i want to put all of the songs on MY computer onto my new ipod and take all of the songs of that my dad originally had.

    When you connect the iPod to your computer and go to the Music tab to select which music you want to sync, iTunes will pop up a dialogue box that if you sync your music it will replace the music that is already on the iPod.
    Since that sounds like what you want to do, just click ok and then sync.

  • How do I redownload and install CS6 (non cloud) onto my new drive?

    My drive was recently corrupted and replaced. I had purchase CS6 premium before Creative Cloud was introduced. I have the order number. How do I download and reinstall CS6 onto my new drive.
    Thanks.

    Hi John Waller,
    Thanks for the installer link.
    I have downloaded the package but when I entered the serial number it says "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."
    And I was prompted to select a product. My purchase was for "Design and Web Premium, version 6" and it is not listed in the list provided. I have tried all of the CS6 options and they don't work. It says "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another."
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my broken computer onto my new computer??? I allowed home sharing and also authorized the new computer but nothing showed up!

    How do I retrieve my iTunes library from a broken computer onto another computer?? I've clicked on home sharing and also authorized the new computer to my account but still nothing!

    It would help if you would describe what a 'broken' computer is. Did a truck run over it? Does it just not turn on? etc.

    Yes, the biggest bug with Win8 is that with certain video cards the screen blinks with certain tools.

  • How to get everything off the iPod and onto a New Drive "C"

    Yeah, I lost my "C" Drive, My Documents, My Music, iTunes Music Library, everything.
    I have a HUGE Library of Audio Bibles, Audio Books, Lectures and other Spoken Word material currently residing on my iPod. I had to build most of the tagging and artwork for it myself as much of it pre-dates Gracenote.
    Is there a procedure I can utilize to copy the material from my iPod onto a New "C" Drive?
    Or should I start digging out my back-up disc's and get ready for a long weekend of re-construction?

    So basically you are saying you have a New Computer and you do not have access to your Old Computer and you did not Create and Maintain a Backup of iTunes... Correct.?
    And you want to Sync your iPhone to the New Computer... and your New Computer is Authorised...?

  • How do you install adobe suite off an old computer onto a new computer?

    Bought myself a new comp, and want to know how to install my adobe suite onto it, off my old computer. Any Sug@gestions?

    You do not want to move your programs from one machine to another.  Install it on the new machine like you originally did with the old one.  If you need to download the files you can probablly find them available thru the following page:
    Download and Installation Help -
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    If you no longer plan to use the original installation you can deactivate it (open an application -> Help -> Deactivate).  You are allowed to have two activated installations so there is no requirement to disable it on the old machine.
    If you need to locate your serial number to activate the new installation you might be able to find the serial number thru your Adobe account online.  If you need additional help...
    To locate the serial number:

  • Need Help: Can I get songs I bought off Itunes from a different Computer onto my new one?

    I do not have the old computer available to me anymore. But when I enter my Itunes Purchased History I see all the songs I bought on the old computer and I would really like to not have to buy those all again. I'm hoping there is a way I can simply download them onto this computer without re-purchasing. Please Let me know!

    Hey Babetta94,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.
