Selling computer - do I need to deactivate CC first?

I'm selling one of my computers that has CC installed on it. Do I need to deactivate or uninstall CC before I wipe the drive? (like I do with CS6 products)

Hi Navarro,
Yes, in order to save one instance you need to deactivate it.
Please refer the following help document on how to deactivate creative cloud and other information.

Please let me know if you have any other question.

    Hi David ,
    If it is a retail version ,then you need to deactivate it and uninstall it as well from your old computer and then you can install it back on the new computer.
    If it a subscription based software ,then you just need to deactivate it and you can operate the same on your new computer by entering in your credentials .
    For more information ,you can refer to this link.

  • I want to clean install my MAC OSX. Do I need to deactivate CC first?

    If I do a clean install of my Mac OSX I will reformat my hard drive and thus lose my apps. Do I need to deactivate Adobe CC first? I have only one other computer with CC installed.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    Paul,
    My intention is not to clean reinstall Adobe CC, but my OSX operating system, which will reformat my HD. I will then reinstall ALL my apps including CC, which I expect to be straightforward. The question was really about deactivation.
    Thank for the reply, though.

  • My computer died and so did my laptop. i need to deactivate my photoshop code by contacting customer support as i can't do it myself but can't find out how.

  • I'm changing my second computer; With CS6, do I need to deactivate each app, or just the suite?

    Hi HRHundt2, if you have suite installed, then if you try deactivating any application will eventually deactivate complete suite.

  • Stolen computer, need to deactivate CS4 so I can reinstall.

    So my computer was stolen, but in order to reinstall CS4 on my new mac book I need to deactivate it on my old (stolen) computer.  Can I do this remotely?
    I have my serial code, but have maxed out on the number of computers I have it on.

  • Error starting Acrobat X Pro: ...You need to deactivate another computer within 32767 days to use

    The serial number xxxxxxx...  is already in use by the maximum allowed computers. You need to deactivate another computer within 32767 days to use this product.
    Installed CS6 Design Std (which included Acro X Pro) from DVD.  All the apps work except for Acrobat, which gives the above error.  The s/n in the error is different from the s/n used for installing Design Std.  Per support, fully uninstalled Design Std and any other Acrobat related s/w, then ran a "cleaner" that they provided.  Reinstalled CS6 Design Std from DVD ... same problem.  Already wasted over 4 hours on Adobe support chat.
    Thanks.

    This suggestion from Adobe Tech Support did NOT work either...
    Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.
    I understand that you are unable to activate Acrobat X Pro.
    From the error message it seems like Acrobat is taking the standalone serial number and not from the suite.
    Have you tried uninstalling only Acrobat and reinstall it from the CS6 suite? If not, then please perform uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it as trial.
    Once the reinstallation is completed, first launch a product from CS6 like Photoshop and then launch Acrobat X and check if it works.

  • I will be re-imaging my computer onto a new drive - do I need to deactivate?

    Hi, due to some font issues and crashing in Photoshop that I cannot fix, I will need to reformat my computer and completely re-install Windows 7, and Master Collection CS5.
    Do I need to deactivate my CS5.5 before swapping out the drives and re-imaging? Or will it recognize the serial number of my computer and know that this is not a new install, just a replacement of the old one?
    Thanks in advance.

    Formatting of any kind erases activation info and different drive mapping invalidates it, also. So deactivate. Better safe than sorry.

  • Hello, I need to deactivate my Adobe product that is installed on a computer that "Broke" and reinstall it on my new laptop.  Redownload and reactivate it.??

    Hello, I bought and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro on a laptop.  Since windows crashed and as it was a single user license, I need to deactivate it and redownload it onto my new laptop.
    Any pointers?
    Thanks,

    A single user license provides for having it installed and activated on two machines.
    If you are unable to deactivate on the broken machine then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you do this before installing and activating on the new machine you can save yourself the problem of reactivating it.
