Reinstalling CS6 (after a Windows reinstall)

I've got CS6 currently. I'm looking to resintall Windows 7 Ultimate (I had some issues that while resolved, suggest a reinstall would be a wise idea), and I'm wondering how hard (or easy) it'll be to reinstall my copy of cs6. I've never had to do this, so I'm sort of "fumbling in the dark" as it were. If anyone has any suggestions or tips, or if I've somehow missed anything and just need to be pointed right, let me know! Thanks in advance, RB13

Are you going to format the hard drive?  If so in PS click Help/Deactivate first.  After install click on Activate.

  • How do i reinstall CS6 after having to reinstall Windows 7

    I have my serial number, and also have the program files backed up on a DVD. I have tried downloading the trial software, but cannot get the download files to open. The big file needs the extractor and cannot find it. The smaller file which I think is the extractor gives me an error message "The file archive part of Adobe Photoshop CS6 is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please download all parts." As far as I can tell I have downloaded the two files I need and have them in their own folder in my Downloads folder. Help.

    Yes, I got the two new files from the location you mention. However, they do not want to open and seem to be missing something. However, I discovered that I still have the original software download files and hope that those will work. Wound up having to resolve a couple of other software issues before I can try to load CS6 again.

    I Reinstalled CS6 After a crash, but  month later Acrobat is no more activated, how to activate it?

    Hi latifledoux,
    Try the steps mentioned in the KB : Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4
    You might also want to run the Acrofix patch from : Doesn't launch after 30 days | Installed as part of a CS6 suite  and check.

  • I need to reinstall iTunes10 after putting Windows 7 on my pc

    I am going to be doing a clean install of Windows 7 on my Toshiba laptop that presently runs Windows Vista 64 Home Premium OS. I was told by the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor utility that I need to uninstall and reinstall my iTunes 10 software. Will it keep my playlists, songs, etc. automatically or how do I retain all this so that when iTunes 10 is reinstalled, all my stuff is still there?

    You shouldn't have to deactivate it if it's the same computer.  Remove photoshop as best you can using Windows Uninstall.  Then reinstall a new copy from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    Make sure you select the same version that you had before (extended or not, same OS, etc).  It shouldn't be an issue if it's the same computer.

  • Reinstall CS6 on laptop (windows)

    I want to reinstall my CS6 on my laptop because I have to reformate the hard disk. Do I have to keep anything else in mind besides deactivating the suite before uninstalling it?

    Make sure you have your serial number and if CS6 was an upgrade, the serial number of the version it was upgraded from.

    You must be on a trial download page to use the links, otherwise you get an error message.

  • Reinstalling Audition after Windows 7 crash/corruption

    My Audition CS5.5 went down after a Windows 7 blue screen crash and won't run now.  I understand that I'm entitled to reinstall it from Adobe's web site but would like to know how to do that.  I hope reisntalling will fix the problem, which is the latest of many that I've had with Adobe CS5.5.  Should I uninstall current corrupted version?  Will I have any trouble with the web site allowing me to download it again?
    I'm posting this to the forum because I have had NO LUCK with Adobe's help site or customer service personnel on ANY of my problems with Adobe CS5.5.  Also, this is the first time I've ever been able to find my way into the forum posting area and I wanted to try it, since I'm not sure I'll be able to find my way back here.  The site is so confusing that Adobe's own representative had trouble with it.  I'm holding on to the hope that there is a user out there who can help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and then download your software using this method:
    Direct Download Links for Adobe Software
    Also clean out the prefs. In fact that should be the first thing to try - if they got corrupted, they can easily cause crashes. Check your C:\Users\You\AppData\roaming\Adobe folder. And also check your system audio configuration and driver. Obviously flakey config there might be relevant for an audio processing program...

  • How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

Previously downloaded raw files, now DNG, open up successfully in Camera Raw 7. How do I get the photo downloader to read and convert raw files. MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.
