Photoshop CS 8.0 - How do I Deactivate

Trying to deactivate my Photoshop CS version 8.0. Under the 'Help' menu there is no Deativation link (there is a 'Activate' one that is grayed out, and doesn't work).

The activation servers have been shut down for many CS2 products. Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4919014#4919014?sdid=KCHDS for more details.

How do i deactivate a photoshop key in windows.old?

I've been pulling my hair out over this one and can't find any answers after many google searches.
I'm running windows vista, and got some weird virus the other day that wouldn't let me open any programs or see anything on my desktop and my only real option was to run the system restore disc.
Well, i did, and it worked, but i couldn't deactivate my photoshop key before doing this. Now photoshop is in Windows.old and obviously won't open, so i can't deactivate the key. How do i deactivate it when its stuck in windows.old? there has to be a way...

Thanks for the quick reply! i feel like im already getting closer to solving this.
I was actually a bit confused by the support section and which number to call or which option within support i should choose. I spent about a half an hour trying to find an email address i could send my question to, but couldn't find one.
So i guess what my question now is, where would i find the right number for the type of support i need? Which area within support should i go to?

How can I deactivate Photoshop Elements 5.0 on hard drive that will not boot?

I have Elements 5.0 loaded on a hard drive which will no longer boot. I have a new hard drive and can access the old drive as an extra internal hard drive. I cannot use Photoshop, so I was thinking I need to deactivate the copy loaded on the old hard drive and reload it on the new hard drive. Is this the best solution? If so, how do I deactivate? When I start up the editor, it does not have an option for deactivating as I read about in another post. Under the help menu, there is a grayed out option for Registration. After a few seconds, a window appears saying there is a problem with my serial number and the application closes. Also, I would like to load Photoshop on a laptop later, so I do not want to waste one of my allowable loads. I would appreciate any help.

Yes, as long as you don't have it on more than two computers at once you're in compliance with the license. (Back in the days of PSE 5 adobe worked more on the honor system.)

How do I deactivate a second copy of Photoshop from a dead computer?

How do I deactivate Photoshop CS5 in a defunct computer? My Sony Viao desktop (XP) died without hope of resuscitation. My second copy is in a small laptop that I use continually for tethering while photo shooting. I now have a brand new ASUS, but can't put Photoshop CS5 in it without deactivating the Viao copy of Photoshop CS5. How can I do this? I use Photoshop CS5 all the time and really need it.

How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed?

How can I deactivate Adobe photoshop elements 9 when its un-installed? I told my husband I had to get it off the third computer but he trying to help me did not deactivate it before he un-installed it!!!!
Now what? I am only using this on 2 computers and I'm told I am using it on a 3rd and I'm not.
How can I fix this?
It wont work on the 3rd one anyway because its so old and limited it crashes every time I try. But I need this on my 2 good computers.

One way could be to reinstall it on the third computer and then deactivate it and uninstall it.
If that doesn't work out or if you'd rather try this route it should work... contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone and they should be able to help. Chat is usually 24/7
Here are some links to help make contact:

Not a requirement…
I know it's not an Adobe requirement, but there can be and are nefarious consequences if you don't.
Don't ever underestimate the blunders and incompetence of the Adobe installer/uninstaller team. Photoshop engineers and program managers have publicly shown their contempt for the members of said team and, privately, at least some have expressed a desire to wring their necks. A former principal program manager called the installers and uninstallers "a huge embarrassment to us."
Therefore, I repeat: if you wanted to uninstall CS3, you should have done it BEFORE installing CS5.

How do I deactivate photoshop on all my computers without deactivating each individually?

Well, since you can only have PSE activated on two computers at once, it shouldn't be too onerous to go to Editor>Help>Deactivate on both of them.

How do I deactivate my existing photoshop on an old mac and reinstall into my new Mac?

how do I deactivate photoshop cs% from my old Mac and reinstall it into my new Mac? thanks! guy

You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines so there is no requirement to deactivate on the old one... but you can.
If you do not have the discs for CS5 and need to download it, then you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

How do I deactivate Photoshop if my old computer is dead?

I purchased Photoshop CS4 several years ago and never had a problem with it. My computer recently got a virus and now won't even turn on. I bought a new computer and I want to instal Photoshop on it, but I can't deactivate it on my dead computer. What do I do? The chat representatives haven't helped at all.

You have to telephone support and ask nicely. I've only ever had to do it once, and it was fast and easy. They would have seen I have a lot of purchases in my account, and had never asked for a reactivation before. They actually reset it to zero, so I had two!

The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Question: The desktop on which I had Lightroom and PhotoshopCC installed failed and I no longer have access to it. How do I deactivate the software on those machines so that I can reinstall it on my new Mac?

Absolutely - but I had no idea there were two versions. When I got my new laptop I just went to the Adobe site to download and install LR5. It never asked if I had a license; it just directed me to install CC to start a trial which I thought I could license after downloading. Several sessions and many hours of looking through the forums and Google for an answer I never ran across anything that made this distinction. I still haven't found a path from www.adobe.com that would get me to the standalone download page (it's probably there, wasn't obvious to me) and looking at the download page it doesn't make any CC/standalone distinction.
There are many places I could have gotten a hint - for instance the license could be tagged "stand alone edition", the CC-version could recognize the stand-alone key and either accept it or produce a more meaningful error message, or the download site or the CC app could ask if I had previously purchased a key, etc.
It was my error to assume this was a deactivation problem, but it looked the same as a previous deactivation problem with Photoshop.
In any event, thank you for your help.

How do I deactivate Lightroom 4 on my old computer?

Tomorrow I am trading in my old computer (MacBook Pro) for a new computer. How do I deactivate and uninstall Lightroom 4 on my old computer?
In Photoshop CS6 there was a "deactivate" option in the Help menu, but it is not there for Lightroom 4.

There is no deactivate. Just uninstall it.
