PSE 8,  Deactivate Serial Number?

I have searched and searched, especially the Help menu, and I cannot see any "Deactivate" dropdown, which the warning message told me would be there, when I started to Uninstall PSE8;  something in the settings have become corrupt and I cannot see what it is, so I thought I would just take the pain, backup, uninstall and reinstall.
The pre-uninstall warning message tells me that if I don't deactivate the license serial number, I will not be able to install it again.
So,  I have spent hours trying to deactivate, but nothing to show for it.
Anyone have any ideas?   I sure would hate to think I'm missing the obvious, but, right now I don't care.  I just want to uninstall and reinstall and get back to scanning photos.
Would like for anyone with some ideas to relay them to me.   Please keep in mind I haven't really mastered PSE8.............was only just beginning to understand 6, but couldn't ignore the allure of PSE8
Hope you can help soon, as I'm pulling-out what little hair I have left
Thanks, a frustrated, but usually good-natured

What a star you are, Ankush
As it was all part of the same package, it never occured to me that the help menu's were different.
And thank you very much for responding so timely, and setting me down on the correct road

  • How to deactivate serial number if unable to open Adobe

    I bought a new computer and wanted to transfer Adobe CS4 Creative Suite on it (I have unlimited installation for it).
    I didn't deactivate correctly the serial number and now that I have unistalled the whole Suite, I cannot install it on my new device.
    NOTE: I did try to re-install Adobe but I am now unable to Re-Install it, so I can't do "Adobe > Help > Deactivate"
    Is there any way to deactivate serial number other than going into the Help bar inside Adobe software?

  • Deactivate serial number of PSE 10

    How to deactivate my serial number for PSE 10 on a previous computer?
    I looked on internet and saw that you can do that with Creative Cloud (CC). But to join CC you have to subscribeand do monthly payment and I don't want that.
    Is that the only possibility? If so, than where can I nuy a complete newe serial number and how much does that cost ?

    Creative Cloud has nothing at all to do with PSE. Are you saying that you already installed PSE on two computers and you no longer have them and need to deactivate one so you can install PSE on another machine? If so, go to Activation support:

    Scroll down in that window and there's usually a place where you can start a chat session and they'll take care of it.

  • Pse 10 install serial number invalid

    Trying to install pse 10 on a new hard drive. I get invalid serial number hen I put in the serial number. I checked the Adobe web page and my registered product serial number is the same.as I am trying. Any suggeations, thank you

    Hi,
    Please get in touch with Adobe Support in order to have the serial number verified.
    On the support page, you will have the option to chat with a support representative or contact the support team via phone.

  • Deactivate Serial Number

    I thought to correct problem with why I'm not getting all pictures from "My Pictures" I should delete the old Photoshop 5.0 and this new 8.0 and restart over. I guess my reasoning is to see if the pictures all come in from "My Pictures." When I tried this I got a warning to make sure I deactiviate my serial number. To deactiviate I would need to go to the Help Menu. It's not there or anywhere in my menus. How do I do this? I must say I am having the worst experience after I did this upgrade from 5.0 to 8.0 2 days ago. Did I make a bad choice?

    Yes, as Barbara said, it is present ONLY inside the Help menu of Editor saying Help->Deactivate..

  • Pse 9 editor serial number

    How to get the serial number for pse 9 editor purchased from Apple store?

    It doesn't have one. Your Apple ID that you used for the purchase can be used if you want to buy a regular upgrade, but the app store version needs no serial number for installation.

  • Deactivate Serial Number on Broken HDD

    Hi,
    We have a copy of Adobe Photoshop (CS6) registered on a HDD that is now broken, and we're unable to reactivate Photoshop on a replacement laptop for the user as we get the invalid serial number error.
    Could you please let me know how to proceed on getting this deactivated so I can reactivate on the new laptop.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Going through the prompts on the technical support number, we don't have Creative Cloud so option 2 and then option 2 again for Photoshop
    Then says we don't provide support over the phone for this product please go to www.adobe.com/support
    So at the minute I've gone round in a circle, I phoned Adobe again and have gone via the Creative Cloud option to see if I can at least speak to someone, currently on hold.

  • Install pse 11 invalid serial number

    I'm trying to reinstall photoshop elements 11 but the serial number that the tech support guy gave me is not a valid serial number to reauthorize my account.  Any ideas to get photoshop back on my computer?

    I did as instructed above and got the same result as the interaction with the previous tech support person i dealt with.  This is not a valid serial number according to Adobe.  The serial number I used is:  111057-4472-2919-6634-0166-9448.  This number was issued to me by one of your tech support people.  I tried it as is, I tried it with no dashes.  I tried to copy/ paste and I hand keyed it in.  This serial number is no good.  Issue me another serial number.  Or give me a credit so I can just buy it again.  As of right now I am done wasting my time doing the exact same thing as the last tech support person instructed me to do.  RESOLVE MY ISSUE TODAY.  This should not be this hard and waste this much of my time.  I have paid for your product, re-issue me this product.

  • Deactivate Serial Number Generation in MIGO

    Hi,
         In MIGO,Serail number generation is made mandatory through Create serial no.s automatically checkbox in serial number tab.The process is such that the user will Check and then Post.So while pressing the Check button,internally serail numbers are generated and while posting the serial numbers are generated skipping the generated numbers in Check.ex.while checking 001 and 002 are internally generated and aftr Post if we check in IQ03 we get 003 and 004;ie 001 and 002 are skiiped.
    Can anybody suggest how to avoid serial number generation while Check?

    Hi,
    Apply Transaction Variant and Screen Variant through transaction SHD0 for MIGO. Hope it will solve your problem.
    Otherwise, discuss this requirement with MM Functional Consultant. In SPRO, it may have some setting to make it display...
    Thanks

  • Deactivate Serial Number after deinstallation of Adobe Photoshop

    I have deinstalled Adobe Photoshop without deactivating the Serial-Number. Now I cannot install again. What can I do?

    Margit,
    That's the problem with uninstalling PS without deactivating it first, the records show that the program is still active.
    I agree with Conroy, you can contact Customer Support and explain what happened, they will be able to help you. 
    Here's the link:

    Premiere Elements 8

    Hey thanks for the reply ATR.
    I had thought the issue I was having was because of the deactivation. I contacted Adobe support and they stated that they have corrected the problem with my deactivation, that was yesterday.

    Installed Quicktime
    Installed DirectX
    Reboot
    Reinstalled
    Reboot
    Still having the issue were nothing is selectable except

    Even when I start a project...nothing loads.
    When I try to open a project I get the error message.
    "Projects created with Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Premiere Elements are not compatible. Please use the appropriate application to open this project."
    This is the message when creating a file and reopening in PE8.

  • Cannot enter serial number- PSE 10.

    On install of PSE 10, the serial number field would not accept the serial number.  It took 3 digits - not more.  So I installed it as a trial version, thinking I could enter the serial number after install.  Not so, the field would not accept 1 character.  What do I do with this situation?  By the way, this is a Costco version of PSE 10... I had PSE 9 on my computer before installing the trialversion of 10.

    Which operating system are you using?

  • Nobody answers me while I am asking your support: Why does my PSE 8 Serial Number not function anymore???

    I own a PSE 8 with serial number there is no disc, I got it by download.
    Since I tried PSE 13, and finally bought it, the old PSE 8 is not there anymore:
    PSE 13 after 30 days quit and destroyed alll my PSE13 and 8 relations.
    Now I have my new PSE 13 working on my labtop, but the old PSE 8 on my
    office computer is out of order and there is no way to get PSE 8 from the down
    loadcenter or elswhere. At the downloadcenter of Adobe it is said, that
    PSE 8 for Mac ist not available. My Serialnumber is so worthless and the old PSE 8
    has never been disconected. What a problem and ****.
    PSE support dosnt`answer
    Has somebody of you a idea, how to handle the problem?
    The problem is, that Adobe sells more new stuff by this policy ...

    Dear Jon
    To see my history with Adobe was good for me, because I did`t know, that you have good order in your stuff
    but since my old number doesn`t begin with 1057, I placed this number in front of my orther for PSE8. but it did not
    work. In my account there is no number for PSE8 just the one for PSE13, since I had an other email adress at
    these times I bought PSE8. The code for the old account number I dont know anymore... But I go to check wether
    I find my old Serialnumber at home, maybe I wrote it wrong?
    but tell me. Why should Adobe allow a second machine to work, my PSE8 was never deinstalled by me
    Should I give my Serialnumber and you try to find it???

  • CS6 Serial Number not valid on any Computer

    Hey there! :-)
    I hope that somebody here can help me with a little problem concerning the key of my CS6 Extended. Recently, I got a new PC, so I deinstalled cs6 on my old one (the version I have is only for 1 PC). I tried to install it on the new PC then. Unfortunately, the key was invalid. Afterwards I searched a solution for the problem. The Support site told me to reinstall cs6 on the old pc and deactivate it manually via the application itself (Help > Deactivate > Deactivate Serial Number on this Computer). I wanted to do this, but then the key was also invalid on the old computer. That means I'm not able to deactivate any Key.
    So finally: The Serial Number I've got is invalid on both Computers! Now I can't use Ps Cs6 anymore. If some of you already know this problem, please let me know what I can do.

    only an adobe employe can help you with a serial number problem.  i can tell you that almost everyone that has a serial number problem reads the explanation in that message 1 link and just skips right past the answer to their problem.
    for example, your serial may be correct but unless you're using cds to install and you only own one adobe product, you're probably using the wrong installation file(s).  of course i don't know that's true and that's why you need to contact adobe.
