Laptop Crashed, Need to Deactivate/Reactivate - Adobe CS3

Recently I ran into a hard drive malfunction, and before I could deactivate the whole of Adobe CS3, my laptop crashed, and I had to swap out the hard drive. Needless to say, this is proving to be tedious, because I have no way to deactivate it now due to the new hard drive in my laptop. Is it possible to deactivate one of the licenses associated with Adobe CS3 so I can reactivate it on my laptop? It's the same laptop just a new hard drive. Specs are below, if necessary.
Brand: HP
Model: Pavilion g6z-2200 CTO Notebook
Hard Drive: 500 gB (Replaced July 18, 2014 with new model)
Operating System: Windows 8, 64-bit
RAM: 4 gB
Processor: AMD A4-4300 APU 2.50 GHz

Hi, I need to activate my Adobe CS3 on a new computer because my old one died and I'm having difficulty. Tried the normal registration way and then logged in with my Adobe ID and can see the software and activation code already registered. How to get it on my computer registered?

If your two activation are in use you need to call Adobe. Install CS3 to to point of activation and call Adobe at that point. They have help me in cases like your My Disk crashed and I replaced it. Could not deactivate the crash activation. I done that twice over the years I've been using PS for around 20 years
To see your key you need to click on the product in your Adobe products and services page.

Hello, I need to deactivate my Adobe product that is installed on a computer that "Broke" and reinstall it on my new laptop. Redownload and reactivate it.??

Hello, I bought and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop. Since windows crashed and as it was a single user license, I need to deactivate it and redownload it onto my new laptop.
Any pointers?
Thanks,

A single user license provides for having it installed and activated on two machines.
If you are unable to deactivate on the broken machine then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations. If you do this before installing and activating on the new machine you can save yourself the problem of reactivating it.

If you originally purchased a download thru Adobe then there might be a download link in your account online. There are other options as well.

Do I Need to Deactivate/Reactivate DW8 after XP Pro Reinstall?

Hi --
My machine is acting hinky enough that I think I've reached
the point where
I have to reinstall XP Pro. Before I do, though, I wonder if
I'll need to
deactivate then reactivate DW8 (and FW8). I checked the Adobe
site but all
I could find on the topic is about CS3 and a "low-level
reformat"
Also, does anyone know how to deactivate the software?
Thanks,
John

I would. You only need to do it on one application.
Better safe than sorry.

My computer died and so did my laptop. i need to deactivate my photoshop code by contacting customer support as i can't do it myself but can't find out how.

i can only use my photoshop serial code twice and need to deactivate it first before being able to instal on my new computer. Normally you'd do this yourself but i can't get into my old computers at all.
how on earth do i get to speak to a rep

I need to deactivate premier pro cs3

Our old computer died so we are trying to install premier pro on a new machine but we can't, it says we need to deactivate it from the old one first, but HOW? It's dead!

I'm sorry for the run around, but I am only another user
Nobody in this open forum will be able to help you... only Adobe will be able to go into their database and release your activation
Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC) may help

I need to deactivate 4 Adobe products

Hello, sorry for my poor English, i am spanish. I have to format a computer that probably has a windows problem. Before I do that, i need to deactivate the four acrobat products i have installed. The four products are: Indesign, Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS6. The last one is Acrobat professional 11.
The Photoshop and the Indesign ones have enabled in the help menu the option Deactivate. That's ok.
But i have a problem with Acrobat 11 and Dreamweaver, i cant deactivate them cause the Dramweaver has the option "Deactivate" disabled, and the Acrobat professional has no option.
Please i need a quick solution to format that computer and reinstall the software in the same machine (changing the hard disk), in order to free the licenses.

Por ello, quisiera que me explicaras qué te hizo pensar que estabas en un foro en inglés. La intención es tratar de evitar que futuros recién llegados a estos foros piensen lo mismo.

Laptop crashed need to know how to get my purchases back

My computer crashed and I need to know how to get my purchases back. To make matters even better, the media on my phone was deleted even though it was checked off not to sync it. I absoloutely hate itunes with a passion and every day it seems to do something else....this being the most maddening thing I have encountered so far.
Does anyone know how I can get my music back? Or does apple pretty much have my money and I have nothing to show for it?

It is basic to maintain a backup.
Have you failed to do so?
http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html
"PRODUCTS CAN ONLY BE DOWNLOADED ONCE; AFTER BEING DOWNLOADED, THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED IF LOST FOR ANY REASON. YOU SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR BACKING UP YOUR OWN SYSTEM"
"Or does apple pretty much have my money and I have nothing to show for it?"
If you buy a CD from best buy and lose it, do they just give you another?

Is there a way that I can deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Reader Professional, etc.) without being connected to the internet?

My laptop is having major internet connectivity issues (as in I cannot get online AT all) and the techies are likely going to need to completely reinstall Windows to fix it, so I really need to deactivate my Adobe Creative Suite so I can reinstall later. As I currently have no way to deactivate my software using the normal method (i.e. deactivate via the Help Menu which requires being online), does anyone know another method I can use? I cannot find a phone number to call Adobe with and their online chat forum is currently undergoing "maintenance".

It's actually not a problem. When you reinstall and sign in to the Application Manager, one of your previous active installation will be cancelled. If that turns out to be the wrong one, simply it sign back in again. That will give you the two active installations you are allowed.

I changed my laptop and need to activate my ADOBEACROBAT 10 PRO WIN on another laptop?

Hi Gavriel ,
For activation or licensing of Acrobat you just need to log in with your Adobe credentials ,i.e your Adobe ID and password.
This will activate your Acrobat 10.
Let us know if you face any challenges.

Do I need to deactivate my Creative Suite 6 before I pickup my new mac pro? or will the migration assistant do all of that?

I am picking up my new mac pro tomorrow and wasn't sure if I needed to "deactivate" my Adobe products before I change over to my new Mac, or does the "migration assistant" do all the work? thanks for any help.

Nope. Migration does not work with any Adobe software. Don't even try it, it will cause a lot of huge problems.
Deactivate your software on the old computer. Install it from the original installer on the new one, don't forget to install all upgrades which are available in the meantime.

About Adobe CS3 Design Premium Software Package Plz Help.

Hi All,
I am doing a course in Designing Websites With Dreamweaver my
lecturer has told me to buy the Adobe CS3 Design Premium Software
package as I would like to be self employed selling my own
websites, my question is: how often will I need to upgrade the
Adobe CS3 Design Premium Software package (commercial use) do I
have to do it every time new Adobe Software comes out? is it
possible to leave it until the second or third new version of Adobe
CS3 Design Premium Software package comes out so I will be able to
get the upgrade version?
My other question is: my lecturer has advised me to buy the
Student Version of Adobe CS3 Design Premium Software package (for
non commercial use) is it true that Adobe will limit your usage? if
yes how do they do it? as there are probably millions of Adobe CS3
Design Premium Software packages in the UK alone!
Thank You For Reading This And Maybe Replying To It.
Yours Sincerely,
Oliver

> last question I promise (lol): What is the difference
between the Full
> Version
> and the Upgrade Version?
Functionally, nothing but from a licensing point of view:
everything.
A Full version of the software is a brand new license so the
software can be
installed on a computer which does not already have the
software installed.
e.g. CS3 Full version + CS3 Full version = CS3 (2 licenses; 1
on each
computer))
An Upgrade version is merely an upgrade to an existing
license. i.e. can
only be used to upgrade an existing, qualifying installation
of the software
on a computer. An upgrade cannot be installed on a computer
which does not
already have an earlier qualifying version of that software
installed.
e.g.
CS2 Full version + CS3 Upgrade = CS3 (1 license)
CS Full version + CS3 Upgrade = CS3 (1 license)
Version 7 Full version + CS3 Upgrade = CS3 (1 license)
But Version 6 Full version + CS3 Upgrade = cannot be done
because Version 6
does not qualify for a CS3 upgrade license (Adobe policy).

John Waller
