Procedures to re-install Creative Cloud apps after from Win 7 to Win 8 Upgrade

I'm planning to upgrade my PC to from Win 7 64 bit to Win 8 64 bit. I currently have Creative Cloud apps installed on the Win 7 PC. I will have to reinstall all apps after the upgrade to Win 8. Before doing the upgrade, should I deactivate all Creative Cloud apps under Win 7 or will the software recognize that I'm on the same PC when I go to re-install my apps? So, same physical PC, but different operating systems.
Thank you

Certainly.
 When you install the operating system that you are licensed for, the installer will not require you to manually input a 25 character activation license key.
Any HP notebook manufactured from 2011 has been using the SLP method. That is why you don't see a Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity with the 25 character activation license key anywhere on the notebook.

    how do i reinstall creative cloud apps after I had to do a windows 8 system restore?
    the application manager says all of these apps are updated, but they are not accessible on my laptop

    Uchinan please try running the uninstallers in the Programs & Features control panel to see if it is restores your ability to reinstall within the Adobe Application Manager.

  • Apps panel doesn't show installed Creative Cloud apps

    None of my apps are showing as installed in the creative cloud application
    Adobe are aware this issue exists, but their solution doesn't work ---> Apps panel doesn't show installed Creative Cloud apps
    Can't say I'm surprised, Anybody knows how to really solve this problem?

    It seems that Adobe doesn't think it's important to check for previous apps installation, and expects the user to manually match the creative cloud language would be installed apps language
    So if you see that there is no app installed in your creative cloud just check their language settings in Preferences > Apps > Apps language.

  • Installing creative cloud app

    I've been having trouble with Creative Cloud, I recently paid for this, and tried to download the Creative Cloud app but when I double click on it (as I'm using a MAC) it opens up the Initializing Installation bubble but nothing happens during that. I tried to talk to someone on the support chat last night, and they got me to do a bunch of things, that didn't seem to help. Does anyone else have any other suggestions as to how I can fix it and get past the Initializing Installation part.
    Thanks, Claire.

    Hi Claire,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    You can try reinstalling Adobe application manger. Go to HD>library>application support>adobe>caps and rename the caps folder. After renaming this folder, go to USER library>application support>adobe>OOBE and rename OOBE folder as well and install Adobe application manager from below link. it should work fine.

  • I am trying to install Creative Cloud app for Desktop and it's shutting down

    Trying to install the  Creative Cloud app for Desktop but every time I try the Adobe Application Manager shuts itself every time.  I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    If it is automatically installed, where do I find it? I don’t think it has installed because the Application Manager shuts itself so fast every time.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I went into Applications> Utilities but there is no Adobe Installers folder or icon there for me to do anything with. I went back to my Adobe account front page and tried to download Illustrator again seeing as it hasn’t installed but when Application Manager tries to open (the little spinning icon) it spins about 3 times before I get a pop up saying that Adobe Application Manager has failed to open. This happens every time I attempt to download Illustrator. Any other options for what might be the issue?
    Thanks again!

  • Issues installing creative cloud apps on iMac 10.9.4

    I am trying to install Muse on my iMac 10.9.4 and have successfully downloaded and installed the CC app, however on downloading the Muse trial it just sits there saying it's downloading and nothing happens (6 hours yesterday and another hour this morning). The CC desktop app itself just has the 'egg timer' in the middle constantly spinning.  I have a 30Mb download speeds so not sure what the issue is.  Can anyone help as very frustrated?

    Hi, I guess it depends on your individual issue. There really is nothing to expand upon other than I closed the Creative Cloud App, deleted the file ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE/opm.db and then restarted the app and all worked. Try launching the activity monitor and force ending any Adobe process that is running too before deleting the file, sometimes process hang about even though the app is closed. 
    The number I used was the one on the main site and chose Creative Cloud support option.  The link to the page is... Adobe United Kingdom - Support Programs : Adobe Products

  • Installing Creative Cloud apps on a thin client

    The bulk of our staff are using thin clients connected to application and data servers. How are the apps installed in this case?

    Hi MiwatjHealth,
    I am sorry but Creative Suite 6 and Creative Cloud Applications are not tested on Vitual Environment also they are not Server products. and so we can't provide much help to you. As per my understanding Applications will get installed on Server and it will create a Session for Thin Client user to access their system.

  • Running Creative Cloud apps after System Restore

    I got Creative Cloud yesterday and I'm totally psyched.  I downloaded several of the apps in the Application Manager.  Once they were done, I hit the "run app" button next to Photoshop to make sure it was working.  It worked perfectly, so I went to bed.
    This morning I turned on my computer and it didn't start because a Windows update that I installed while shutting down last night was apparently poison for my computer.  I had to recover from a system restore point that had been created several weeks before Creative Cloud was installed. 
    Now I'm not sure how to start or install any of the Creative Cloud programs.  In the Application Manager, it says all the programs I'm interested in are installed, so I can't re-download them, and there's no "run app" button there any longer.  And in the Program Files on my computer, even though there are now several CS6 files, for the life of me I can't find any of the .exe files that will actually run the programs. 
    How do I open these programs?

    I fixed it, but it involved three calls with Adobe support that added up to around 6 hours... in the end, we had to use a special Adobe Suite remover program to totally scrub my system of anything Adobe.  When that was done, we were able to install most of the programs, but not Muse or Acrobat.  To get Acrobat to work, we had to use another special Acrobat remover tool, then we had to create another administrator on my computer and use the new account to install Acrobat from there using a direct download of the program, instead of the Application Manager.  To install Muse, we figured out that we could just download the trial from the Adobe site and just install it that way - again, as opposed to installing it from the Application Manager.  So now everything works, but the Application Manager still doesn't recognize that Acrobat or Muse are installed - it still has the "install" button next to their names.  The support guy said I should still be getting updates, but that he'll check up with me in another week or so to see if that is indeed the case.
    Good luck Gravity6.

  • Trouble launching "installed" Creative Cloud apps

    According to the application manager for Creative cloud, Muse is downloaded and installed on my Mac but it won't launch and I can't even find it with a local search on my computer.  I am also unable to redownload it because Application manager thinks it is installed.
    Any ideas?

    The Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool should be able to fix the problem. Here is the link with instructions. This usually resolves any problems in the download and installation process. Essentially you will uninstall your apps, run the cleaner tool, then reinstall the apps.
    Please let me know if it does not resolve the issue.
    Cheers,
