Recovering license from wiped Win 8.1 upgrade

Hi -
I only have two computers. One is a laptop with Win8.0 and the other one is my problem child. It did have Win-7/64-Pro on it. I got the Upgrade to Win8.1/64-Pro. I didn't realize that when the installer said it would save my files, it was only saving data files and no program information what-so-ever. The Adobe license agent doesn't know that my Win-7 install is history and so will only let me run one install. I can't run the cleaner (I don't think) because that install (Win-7) is gone. I really do only have two computers, I'm hoping to find a way to be able to work on tghem both.

If this is a creative-cloud install, then all you need to do is sign in to CC and take the choice to deactivate the other two installs. Then go back to your other live computer and sign into CC there, too, and both installs will be activated as they should be. At least that is how it worked a couple months ago when I needed to do it.
If you are not on CC, yet, then you’ll want to chat with someone at Adobe Support via the chat button on the bottom of most help pages. They can deactivate your previous install on the current computer, somehow.

Recover data from wiped hard drive?

Hi everyone.
I’ve searched through the discussions unable to make any concrete conclusions to resolve my dilemma so I hope someone here can help me out if possible.
My Macbook Pro 13 inch (late-2011) running Mavericks had its hard drive recently wiped by an Apple technician after I took it in following problems.
I stupidly didn’t back up any files onto an external hard drive or in TimeMachine when my hard drive was working before. However, from reading these discussions it appears other people with wiped hard drives have been able to recover data with some success. I’d like to know if this is at all possible in my situation?
To put my dilemma into some context, only days ago my Macbook began to freeze up. Eventually I had to force shut down with the power button as the computer became unresponsive.
Afterwards, when I turned on the computer the OS would not load past the grey screen with the apple logo. I attempted to perform a boot in Safe Mode but encountered the same problem. Then the computer would only shut down at this point each time I tried to turn the computer on again. Naturally I took it to my local Apple store and had a ‘Genius’ check it out.
After attempting to load the OS, I stupidly agreed with the Apple technician that the hard drive should be wiped (being less educated then about hard drives than I am now). I’ve been kicking myself ever since then thinking at the time a broken/corrupted hard drive meant that the data was already lost and that it was safe to wipe the hard drive in order to perform an ‘Internet Recovery’.
The Internet Recovery for Mavericks however failed and the Apple technician offered to replace the Hard Drive for a small ransom.
I’ve since tried to turn the Mac on at home and the grey screen still appears this time with a flashing folder with a question mark.
I know I have to go and buy a new hard drive and replace the existing one. But I still would like to know, is the data on the old hard drive able to be recovered or are my files lost forever since the Apple technician ‘wiped’ my hard drive?
I’m willing to download the software and get the hard drive in order to retrieve any data if it is at all possible.
Thank you for any help.

Thoughts on recovering photos from wiped, stolen iPhone4

My daughter's iPhone4 was stolen - and recovered but the thief wiped it. can the photos be recovered? we have a sync from a month ago, but the photos are the loss

Nope, sorry. Anything after the last sync is gone, photos and anything updated or added since then. Apps can be re-downloaded, but that's about it. Sorry she lost her photos, but glad she got the phone back.

Upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac is possible?

Quite a simple question:
Is it possible to make upgrade from CS3 Win to CS5 Mac?
If "yes", which are the steps I'll have to follow?
I would like to mention that I'll buy the upgrade software
in Romania, so I'll have to deal with a Romanian Adobe
software distributor.
Thank you!

All right. Thank you!

Failed to upgrade ASA5505 license from 10 to unlimited users

Hello everyone.
The problem I'm experiencing is that I´m trying to upgrade a Customer's ASA 5505 base license from 10 to 50 users (ASA5505-SW-10-50=). But the reseller sent a ASA5505-SW-50-UL= license instead. I tried to register that license and the following messaged appeared.
Wrong Sku(s) 'ASA5505-SW-50-UL=' for 'ASA5505-K8' : Device contains following licenses 'ASA5505-SW-10,ASA5500-ENCR-K9'
Serial Number = JMX1235Z0TZ
We're sorry, but the new serial number provided is not the same platform type as the failed serial number. An upgrade request is not allowed.
If you would like any assistance in the resolution of this issue, please open a Service Request using the TAC Service Request Tool at
http://tools.cisco.com/ServiceRequestTool/create/DefineProblem.do .
As an alternative you may also call our main Technical Assistance Center at 800-553-2447.
Sincerely,
Cisco Systems Licensing.
I tried to contact TAC for assistance but It's not possible because that kind of service is outside the parameters of the service contracts associated with my cisco.com profile.
So What Can I do to solve this?
Best Regards

Luis
I am not sure that I have the correct understanding of your issue. From your description it seems that the reseller has generated the license upgrade for the wrong serial number. I would think you would deal with them to get the serial number corrected.
I have had some limited success in calling the TAC when I have had an issue with equipment whose serial number/contract number was not associated with my CCO ID. Or it may turn out that you will need to get the customer to add your ID to their contract number.

Installing a Mac version of PS that was upgraded from a Win version

I don't seem to be able to get through to Adobe today on the phone at all, so would like to try here with this question. I just got my first Mac last week after 20 years plus on the PC. I've been upgrading my Photoshop for WINDOWS since v.4.0 (current version I have is CS4 for Win), and could upgrade to CS5 for Mac, which is about $500 less than buying a new (Mac) version outright. My concern/question is this, that after inserting the upgrade DVD, the install program will ask me to insert the "qualifying" CD/DVD which in my case will be a Windows PS install DVD. I do not have Windows and/or Parallels, so would the Mac be able to read/recongnize the qualifying Win Photoshop program to complete the Mac installation?
Joe

I don't know if Adobe still does cross-grades, but when I switched from Windows to Mac years ago, I was allowed to purchase full Mac versions at the upgrade price. Since the Mac software wasn't an upgrade box, it needed no previous disk or serial number to install it. Better yet, I was also allowed to keep using my Windows versions if I wanted to.
You do have to do this directly through Adobe so they can verify your legal purchases of the Windows software you're doing a cross-grade from.

Upgrade a license from Adobe Acrobat Standard XI to Adobe Acrobat Professional XI?

Can i upgrade a license from Adobe Acrobat Standard XI to Adobe Acrobat Professional XI? and pay only the difference, or i have to buy a full license?

As I remember some of the posts long ago, I am not sure the possibility for upgrade is too good. At one point as I recall you essentially had to pay the upgrade cost. All of this is from a not too good memory and I agree that the only way to find out for sure is to call Adobe. It would be useful for us if you reported back on what you find out.

Transfer License from PC to Mac

Hi,
I'm just in the process to switch from Windows to MacOS. I tried my old licenses from Photoshop CS3 on the Mac, but it doesn't work (other like Lightroom which works fine on MacOS).
What can I do...I would like to give back the PC license and get a MacOS license. But as I do not want to use it on both machines, I didn't like the idea to buy a second copy.
Although could I run an MacOS Updateversion with a previous Windows license?
Thanks...Carsten

I just bought a Win -> Mac crossgrade for Photoshop by phone;
it took just about 5 minutes and was an easy transaction with
a pleasant service guy.
Steps:
          go to www.adobe.com
               click on "contact"
               on next page, click "other phone numbers"
               call number listied for "licensing, registration web services"
               told the agent I wanted to crossgrade from CS2 on PC to
                    CS5 on Mac
               verified name, address, e-mail address
               he (evidently) checked licensing/registration
               he offered full Mac retail package at upgrade price
                    (plus shipping and sales tax)
               I gave him credit card info
               within five minutes, I had confirmation e-mail including
                    all the order conf data in a nice oficial-looking PDF
                    complete with Adobe letterhead
(and while I'm waiting for the package to arrive, I can make use
of the 30-day trial CS5 for Mac ... )
Now this is for a cross-grade which means I'm not going to continue
to use CS2 on the PC and apparently they found all my registration
data with no trouble, but all in all it was about as easy as these
things get.
I don't recall ever using Adobe customer service before, but if this
is anything like typical, it's a lot better than its reputation.

How to recover files from a deleted partition?

Unfortunately, my OSX was not booting and I deleted my partition. Through the Internet Recovery mode I reinstalled the original OSX Mountain Lion it came with. I then upgraded to Maverick. I know that deleting a partition practically means all files are lost. I heard that files can be recovered on a Windows when a partition is deleted. Is there any way I can recover files from a partition that was deleted just a day ago?

Hi,
Yes, it is possible to recover deleted partition or volume on Mac. Previously I was able to recover all my data lost due to accidental deletion of partition on my Mac PC by using recover Mac data software. This tool is really helpful, here you can download this tool.

Win 8.1 Upgrade Disabled Twist Touch Screen Fixed

After a Win 8.1 Upgrade, I had no touch screen function. Calls to Lenovo led nowhere Same with searching Microsoft boards. I fixed the issue on Sunday 6/1- No help from Lenovo or Microsoft.
For me it was finding two "Unknown Devices" in the HID section of Device Manager which did not have drivers installed. After researching and determining that Win 8.1 will not allow unsigned device drivers, and also seeing the "Update Driver" option failing because the drivers on the laptop that fit the problem were getting an 'INF unsigned driver error', I went through the steps to allow unsigned drivers... Charm Bar>Settings>Change PC Settings>Update and Recovery>Recovery>Advanced Startup>-Restart> Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Settings> Restart and then Chose #7>Allow Unsigned Device Drivers and Restart again... then Updating the two Unknown Devices with the drivers already on the Twist.... and voila- the errors disappeared and the touchscreen returned to full function.
I don't know if this happened to many people, but Lenovo had no idea what to do. They wanted me to ship them the laptop and allow them to roll it back to Windows 8. Posting here to distribute it to a larger audience. Maybe someone at Microsoft should call Lenovo too or Lenovo should call Microsoft. The Twist is a great laptop with Win 8.1 when everything works the way it should.
Solved!

Hi Cvj17,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are looking driver for Unknown device. In some system after installing all the drivers also the unknown device will show in Lenovo Solution Center, hence confirm it once in device manage is there any Unknown adapter is showing in that.
Please install Lenovo System Update application and run it to verify the driver automatically.
Unknown Device issue.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard License from a crashed laptop

I had installed Adobe Acrobat 8 on my laptop, which subsequently crashed. I've now got a new laptop, and a second laptop. The product works fine on the second laptop, but it won't activate on my new laptop. How do I get it to forget the license from the crashed laptop?
Thanks,
