Preinstalled Adobe cs6 Master Collection has no access to product registration, how should I go about reinstalling?

I recieved a laptop from a friend that had Adobe cs6 Master Collection on it, seemingly activated (no trial timer in sight). the problem is, i plan on reinstalling windows and would like to keep this $2000 collection of software, but i cannot find the activation key (the product registration information is seemingly not available, along with deactivation and updates) , or anywhere to download an installer. how would i go about finding the activation key, and then where can i find a copy of the master collection to download and install with said key?

If the original owner did not formally transfer the license for the software, the key/ registration is most likely still under his/her ownership in his/her Adobe account, and you have no rights to use it nor to reinstall it on any machine you own, including the one you received.  It will be the responsibility of your friend to deal with this.

  • My CS6 Master Collection has reverted to a trial version even though I have a serial number registered.

    So recently, my Adobe CS6 Master Collection has reverted to a trail version for some of the programs. I've received this collection from my school and registered with Adobe to ensure that the install and download was legit. However, even though I input my registered serial number to license the software that I own, it does nothing. What exactly is going on?

    Hello,
    in this case I would use Adobe's Chat to talk to an employee.. Click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html  and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

    Recently when opening up Photoshop, my Adobe CS6 Master Collection pops up saying there's some kind of offer going on the Creative Cloud.  For awhile I was just able to close out of it and go about my business on Photoshop, but now it's not allowing me to open Photoshop unless I sign up/pay.  I'm quite confused?  I really NEED to have access to Photoshop ASAP.

  • Urgent Support Request! - Adobe CS6 Master Collection - Please Insert Disk

    Our company has downloaded Adobe CS6 Master Collection for deployment on our master image this year.
    When attempting to install using the files that we downloaded and ran off the hard drive the set up says "Please Insert Disk", this shouldn't be necessary as I have all the required files to install on my computer already.
    I need a solution quickly to this as I have to get this master image completed and deployed within the next week or two and I have hundreds of machines to do it on.
    It is a clean install and therefore there are no compatibility issues with previous programs, I have tried looking for the installs of the individual programs themselves in the folders to no avail, I had a similar problem with Autodesk products which I solved by installing the trial version then upgrading it to the full version immediately after install. I have not tried that with this problem yet as I'm sure there is a more efficient way to solve the issue. At least I hope there is. Please get back to me as soon as possible with this because I'm required to get this sorted within a very tight deadline.

    Hello Hans,
    Thank you for your rapid response.
    This appears to have solved my issue.
    10 Points to you good sir!
    Regards

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CS6 Master Collection and Adobe CC multiple times only to have them a few days later fail to open any programs.  Adobe CC also starts prompting for Adobe ID, but will not accept the ID and loops back.   Has anyone seen this before?    Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit.

    Hello Taylerdts,
    It's a good laptop, only the screen size is very small. I will prefer larger or a separate monitor >21", which you can connect.

  • Can I still purchase Adobe CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition?

    Hi I was wonder can I still purchase Adobe CS6 Master Collection Student and Teacher Edition? As I am a student and I don't have the money to purchase the the full software for 2 grand. Also I don't want to get the creative cloud as I don't want to be paying say 250 dollars a year for the software.
    Another question is how many devices can I have the software on? As I have a desktop which I will use for heavy work, and a laptop for light work.

  • Adobe CS6 Master Collection for Mac licensing

    I installed Adobe CS6 Master Collection for Mac, licensed it and updated it on twenty iMacs.  This a University computer lab with many users.  Sometimes Adobe software starts in trial mode as if the license key hasn't been entered.  What could be the problem?

    Hi Gutech,
    Could you please tell me how did you install Master Collection on 20 machines.
    If you have installed Master Collection on 1 Mac and created an Image of the OS and then installed it on the 20 Mac's then you may come across with this kind of issue.
    In Order to properly deploy the Master Collection please use our Deloyment Tool to create a Serialised Package and then use the same to deploy it on the 20 Mac's.
    You can find the Deployment Tools in this Link

  • Adobe CS6 Master Collection failed to initialize

    I'm trying to install Adobe CS6 Master Collection but this always comes up:
    Adobe Support Advisor no longer exists so I can't download it???
    Anyone know what I can do?

    start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
    if cc (win):  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
    if, your error is:
    "Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
    first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
    to find OOBE:
    64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
    mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
    mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
    if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
    if you're using a dvd to install:
    copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
    if you're using a mac:
    1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
    2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
    3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
    5. Start the installation again.
    if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

  • How long i am allowed to use Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers edition ) ?

    I planned to buy Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) but i have a some confusions.
    1) If i bought the software with an adobe reseller ( a boxed product of adobe master collection CS6 - students and teachers edition ) and obtained a serial number with it, will i be able to use the software for more than one year or three years once it is activated ?

    There is no serial number in retail boxes of S&T, just a verification code and that needs to be properly registered to obtain a serial number - now. After that you can reinstall and reactivate the stuff until the day the Adobe servers fall apart or run out of electricity or Adobe changes their policies.
