Transferring license from a stolen device to a new device

I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 and installed one license on a desktop and the other on a laptop. My laptop was recently stolen and I would like to find out if that license can be cancelled and transferred to a new laptop. Please advise.

Please note that you are NOT addressing Adobe in these user forums.
Under normal circumstances, at this point, I would advise you to contact Adobe Customer Service, since only they can help, but it so happens that I tried to accomplish exactly what you describe (my laptop did not get stolen, but its HD died) three days ago and I got a customer service representative by the name of Tajinder and an IQ evidently in the room temperature range, who insisted they have no means of deactivating applications.
Below are pertinent excerpts from the Customer Service chat:
info: You are now chatting with Tajinder.
Tajinder: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Technical Support. How may I assist you?
Tajinder:
Me: Hello Tajinder.
Tajinder: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Technical Support. How may I assist you?
Tajinder:
Tajinder: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Technical Support. How may I assist you?
Me: I need to Decactivate one of my Photoshop CS4 installs. My Macbook drive died and i want to install it on my Mac Pro
Tajinder: Sure,Could you tell me what is the error you have while installing ?
Me: Deactivate the Photoshop CS4 installed on my Mac Book please
Me: I have no error. READ carefully.
Me: II need the installed copy DEACTIVATED it.!
Me: Good grief! What is the matter with you?
Tajinder: Please try to install the product if you have any issue i will help you as we do not have any option to deactivate the product.
Me: Essentially, I have one copy of Ps CS4 on a G5 and want to install the other one on a Mac Pro.
Me: OK, it's like talking to a bloody brick Wall. You must be a robot, not a human being.
Me: What time is it in India right now? Maybe I can call at another time when you have more staff on duty.
Tajinder: Its 11.20 am now.Also we do not have support for cs4 products.
Me: It is NOT tech support, for god's sake. It's deactivating one of my copies, and that is a task only you can perform.
Me: I'm willing to escalate this all the way Tajinder, your service is unacceptable.
Tajinder: I can understand your issue but we do not have any option to deactivate the product you can deactivate the product on you end.
Tajinder: Open the product if its installed then click on help and deactivate the product.
Me: Only YOU can deactivate an installed copy that is no longer . Don't be an IDIOT, I cannot access the product because the hard drive is DEAD!
Me: The applicatiuon will be installed in an entirely different Mac.
Tajinder: In this case please try to install the product,If you have any issue i can help you to fix.
Mea: Be back to you later. Have a good lunch!
Tajinder: Thank you for contacting Adobe. Good Bye!

Transferring License from Mac to PC

Hello,
I currently am using Premier Pro and some other programs to edit video. However, I am selling my Mac and buying a PC. I am wondering if I am allowed to use the license from Premier Pro (Mac) on my new PC?

Cloud License allows 2 activations http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html
-Install on a 2nd computer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452292?tstart=0
-Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each
The above is, of course, if you are using the Cloud version (which you do not say)

When transferring data from my old iMac to a newer one do the old Apple apps like iWorks override the new versions installed on the newer computer?

When transferring data from an older iMac to a newer iMac (refurbished) do the Apple applications like iWorks replace the ones on the newer computer?
I have read how to transfer data and using setup assistant but I am concerned about applications from Apple having the same names.

As you likely know legacy apps that are PPC based will not migrate over. However the data files will. I would urge you to inventory the apps you have and their data files to see how important they are and then look app by app to see what app replacements are available. If you are using Office for Mac prior to the 2008 version you will need to get a new license of the app because the 2004 version was PPC based. The files will come over and are readable by newer version of Office for Mac (I recommend the 2011 version) and also readable by the iWorks apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) but those are different apps than Office and work differently and do not have all of the features of the MS Office apps. This is really only a issue if you share files with MS Office users, if you use them for personal work then iWork may be just fine for your needs.

How to activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer

How do I activate CS3 after transferring files from a dead computer to a new computer?
I have a CS3 on an iMac. My old iMac's disk drive failed completely. So, I cannot turn it on.
I installed all my files and programs from a back-up drive. Adobe Product Support said I should go to the Forum.
Any ideas?
Thank you

The message I get when I try to start Photoshop says, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." You must contact customer support.

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

Here's an easy way:
Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
That should do it.

I was transferring data from my old iMac to my new iMac via Time Machine. After about 4 hours, the electrical power fluctuated and turned off my wi-fi. Now most of my necessary programs are useless. How do I erase and start over?

Hello there, LynnS.
The following Knowledge Base article and it's referenced link should get you started with the Erase and Install of Mavericks:

Once you've gone through those 2 articles, this article should help you with restoring from your Time Machine Backup:

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

Transfering documents from an old MacBook to a new MacBook Pro

What to do when transfering documents from an old MacBook to a new MacBook Pro and it got stuck in "about 44 hours and 53 min remaining", since 5 days ago?

Either exercise a lot of patience or start over again. See if there is useful information here that can solve your problem.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account. Help?

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account. Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips? Anyone?

Four transfers. After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc. Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all. She sent me this link to help: Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac. I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!
