Steps to Deactivate Creative Cloud:

Hi All,
Here is the steps to deactivate your Adobe creative Cloud, please contact Adobe Customer Service for more assistance.
Issue:
Launching a subscription or Creative Cloud products results in the error, "Maximum Activations Exceeded."
Solution 1: Deactivate previous machines
The error indicates that you have already activated this membership on two machines and you are attempting to activate it on a third.  Deactivate one of the previous machines before proceeding.  If you have access to the previously activated machines, choose Help > Deactivate within the application.  Alternatively, you can deactivate all previous machines by following the steps below.
    Launch the Adobe product.
    At the Maximum Activations Exceeded screen, click Continue.
    On the Sign In Required screen, click Sign In.
    Enter your Adobe ID associated with your membership and click Sign In.
A Thank you screen appears after activating.  If any of the following errors occur, follow the steps listed.

Thanks for posting
Did your post all go through? I saw this part of your message and wondered "If any of the following errors occur"
Did you ever need to click De-activate All button or anything like that?

    Hi Forster,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    The CC has been activated twice, so please perform the steps as mentioned earlier, when you will launch & try to sign in after install, it will ask you to deactivate from previous machine.
    There will be an option to deactivate it from there also, if your previous machine are un accessible then you can choose the option to deactivate from here & henceforth it will allow to sign in & activate.
    Please let us know if it worked.

  • Deactivate Creative Cloud Licence on DEAD PC

    I just had my laptop that had one of my Creative Cloud licences running on it.
    I need to transfer THAT licence to another system, how do I do it???
    My PC is dead and I NEED that licence tranferred and can't deactive it.

    If you don't have access to activated Adobe CC apps on a defunct PC (in order to deactivate them and free up an activation) then, on your new computer, you can forcibly ("remotely") signout of all CC apps linked to your Adobe ID using the process described here. That should reset your total activation count to zero again.

  • What are the steps to uninstall Creative Cloud on a Mac and create a brand new re-install

    I am having problems with my Mac OS system disk and have decided to re-format the disk and start again.
    However I have noted numerous members who have removed Creative Cloud products only to find when they wish to re-install being informed that the software is already on their disk.
    Therefore, what I need to know, is what exactly is the procedure that will allow me to erase my disk, re-build it and then download a new copy set of the Creative Cloud software?
    I don't want, when I have rebuilt the hard disk, to be faced with the statement that I already have Creative cloud on my disk ... when in fact I have erased it.
    Thank you.
    James.

    You want to do two things:
    Deactivate the installed programs via the Help menu.
    Uninstall the programs from the links provided in the folder Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.

  • I have creative cloud on two computers can it be on a third as well?

    I have creativ e cloud on a desk top and laptop can I also install it on a second laptop?

    Hi reikibill ,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    You can use the Creative Cloud on the third machine but in order to do so , you need to deactivate Creative Cloud from any one machine because as its mentioned above a subscription can be used on two machines only .
    In order to deactivate you can use the below mentioned steps-
    1) Launch any product from Creative Cloud Application.
    2) Click on 'Help' Option.
    3) You will get the Option to 'Deactivate or Log out ', click on any one which you see and it will be Deactivated from one machine .
    In order to use it on more than one  machines you can also refer to Team Membership , below is the link you can follow to know about Team Membership .

  • Trouble with Creative Cloud install/uninstall for MacBook Pro

    Creative Cloud for Desktop installed just fine, and all the windows worked except for "Apps"... all I wanted to do was download the Dreamweaver CC trial, so this was a problem. I got the "spinning wheel" on the Apps tab for a verrryyy long time, and tried everything on this page: App doesn’t open | Progress wheel spins continually
    Those didn't help.
    I tried the first solution from this page: Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application
    Adobe Creative Cloud won't uninstall... it says I need to Quit first, which I am unable to do because the CC icon doesn't show up on my Macbook Status bar any longer... Cmd+Alt+Escape shows only Chrome and Finder as active, so I can't force quit from that window... I'm at a loss here!
    In case this is helpful: I have Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign CS6 currently installed on my computer... would this effect anything?
    Please help, I need Dreamweaver for work – I'm a web designer!

    Hi k8whiiite,
    We would be more than happy to help you with the your problem.
    If you are getting spinning wheel, please try following steps.
    Quit Creative Cloud
    Please delete all the files under the below mentioned folder.
    Location Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory/1.0/
       3.  Launch Creative Cloud
    Please revert in case you are not able to install Dreamweaver from there.
    Thanks,

  • Creative cloud desktop app blank - Mac

    Hi,
    I have been experiencing the issue with a "blank" screen when logged into the Creative Cloud Desktop. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling the desktop app multiple times and still no screen or visible apps. Also, I followed the instructions in locating the OOBE folder... I was unable to locate the file suggested to change even after making all hidden files visible. In my recent attempt to locate this file the entire OOBE folder has been deleted (I am unable to locate this folder anywhere on my computer or trash) and I am still experiencing the "blank" screen when logged in. How would I go about fixing this all across the board? Would I need to reinstall all of adobe and its apps? Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Hi Kandee_Leigh,
    Please try below steps:
    1> Uninstall Creative Cloud Desktop app. (http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html#Uninstall apps)
    2> Navigate to the OOBE folder:
    Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    Note: The <user account>/Library/ folder is hidden after OS 10.7, follow the instructions here to access it: Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
    Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    rename OOBE to OOBE.old
    Then install Creative Cloud from below given link:
