Workflow to deactivate CS6 and clone

Hello Enterprise Deployment,
How do you deactivate/deserialize CS6 from a computer that is about to be cloned/image created from?
Background: I've successfully installed and serialized CS6 using AAMEE3.0 in my computer lab. Now its sometime in the future and I need to reimage/clone my lab again. My workflow is to select one of the lab computers and make clone image of it. Problem is this computer has a working copy of CS6 on it, so the image will not work on the cloned computers - breaks the one to one relationship. I'm hoping there is some easy way to deserialize computer and not be forced to do another 1) uninstall CS6, 2) install trial copy, 3) image, and 4) serialize. I must be missing something because this is way to difficult.
thanks,
Jeff Jensen

InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS6 workflow

Hi there, I just started a 3 day per week job at an architecture firm. They have about 35 staff, and use Word to format some pretty hefty reports. They are in one column, rather ugly and doesn’t reflect at all the professionalism of the firm.
I’m looking at trying to integrate the workflow, so that they can maybe use InCopy and InDesign together, effectively replacing Word for report use. I’m only in 3 days so it’s impossible for me to use a Word > InDesign workflow with the amount of changes (mostly last minute and to tight deadlines). It just takes too long. The architects and historians need to be able to write these reports themselves, with my skills coming in when it's the final format ready to send to the client.
We have licences for about 5 copies of InDesign CS5 at the moment, and 35 licenses for Word, so we’re looking at the costings and if the InCopy to InDesign workflow would work well for much of the communication here. The report writers use hundreds of images/diagrams in each document, and all these have captions, so I guess it’s important to use an inline compatible design where the users can add images in InCopy and these are brought over to InDesign without too much fiddling around at the end.
The aim is to have the report writers use a collaborative system, but using corporate open type fonts that display well on screen. We are using Trade Gothic, and it doesn't represent on screen very well at all. The report writers hate using it, especially as their zoom size in Word is normally around 90%.. The other problem is the lack of layout optiions with Word. The reports could save hundreds of pages just by using a 2 column system which can save rivers of blank white space within text.
Also we need the ability for the writers to be able to add images and resize/rotate landscape portait format etc.
I’ve downloaded a trial version of InDesign CS6 and InCopy CS6 so am just checking things out and testing it at the moment.

Using Dropbox for InCopy/InDesign workflows works really well. You keep all your projects in Dropbox as though it was a networked, local server.
I will be doing an hour-long session at PePcon (the Print + ePublishing Conference) on "The state of the state" of open source or low cost editorial workflows, covering InCopy, Word, GoogleDocs, and InDesign plug-ins. Really great conference to go to if you're using InDesign for publishing. (note: I'm a co-host, too.)

Hi, I would like to deactivate CS6 from my old laptop and reactivate it on my new one. In order to re-activate it, what is the process? Do I need to download the product like the first time? Is there something to be careful of? Thank you!

Easiest method to transfer CS6 and cloud from old Mac to new one?

Oi. I'm old and have poor memory that makes this Very difficult. I need to transfer licensed CS6 and cloud member (9.90 a mo) from my old iMac to my new iMac. I backed it up under Maverick using Carbon Copy Cloner. I don't know where to look or how to transfer.
Thank you.

You are allowed two installs. You can just download,install, and activate on the new Mac.
A clean install is less error prone than recovering it from backup.
When you are sure you do not need the old install, just deactivate and uninstall.

Flash CS6 and CC on the same computer?

Can I run Flash CS6 and CC on the same computer? I need inverse kinematics now only in CS6 but my computer in from my university and will shortly be converted over to FlashCC but I need many of the dropped old feratures. I'm seriously in trouble as I have a large animation I have been working onwith my students for months and very soon the workflow will come to a grinding stop. It's already bad as the lab computers have already moved over to CC. My laptop is now my only worrking option along with the students who have a copy of CS6. The ones who moved over to CC can no longer work on the project. Thanks Adobe!

Hi Hugzelpod,
You can run Flash CS6 and Flash CC on the same computer.
Thanks,

Deactivation . Crash hard drive. New computer. Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5.7

I have both desktop and laptop. Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 installed on both. My desktop hard drive crashed and I can't deactivate both Photoshop cs6 and Lightroom 5.7 on the desktop. I believe I have 2 activations on both Photoshop and Lightroom. I need to deactivate both Photoshop and Lightroom to reinstall on new Desktop. I do not want to deactivate on the laptop. Remember the old desktop hard drive crash before deactivating. Help.

If you have a subscription there should be no problem. You should be able to install on two machines. If you try to activate a third machine I believe the activation server will deactivate all your activations. Then activate the current machine. You can then re-activate one of you other machines.
If you have a perpetual licence and have two activation you will need Adobe Customer Support to assist you.

Is there a relation between Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Premiere 12?

Is there a relation between Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Premier 12. I am presently attending a course on CS6. Is there a certain similitude between these 2 logiciels?

Hi Luciebiss,
Photoshop is a professional tool used throughout many industries as the standard for digital image manipulation and painting. It has very rich, and often complex, tools and options. As such, it comes with a professional price tag.
Photoshop Elements is a consumer product. It's made for users who don't need as many features and complex options. It has a simpler design, guided workflows, and an organizer to help you manage your files.

STILL NO FLUENT AVCHD-WORKFLOW in PPro CS6??? COME ON, ADOBE!

I am very pleased with my CS6 Suite. I cannot tolerate the fact, that an issue like the AVCHD-workflow in PPro CS6 isn't patched until today. AVCHD is a very common Codec and a professional NLE-Software has to able to handle it! Transcoding from one Codec to antoher and back is a time killer! It leaves my work less profitable. So what is the status quo at the moment? Please be honest and do not tell me "We know about the issue, but don't have a timeline yet.."
Thank you very much.
Best,
ABR

Please be honest and do not tell me "We know about the issue, but don't have a timeline yet.."
Well, which is it, honesty or a fabrication?
"Hi All,
My name is David McGavran, I am the Senior Engineering Manager on Premiere Pro. We are aware of the issue and are able to reproduce it. We are currently investigating what we can do about it. We apologize for the issues and hope to be able to give guidance soon. I will continue to check back in here and update you guys as we have more information.

CS6 and Premiere Elements keeps asking for activation

Hi
I am a system engineer in a school. We have a K12 Site license for CS6 and we purchased about 30 single license versions of Premier Elements through certified resellers. I deployed CS6 a few years ago on our old PC's by installing the software on one computer and then cloning the pc 30 times with CloneZilla. That worked fine.
A year later i repeated the procedure on 25 other computers. No problem there.
Last summer i did the same to replace the 30 pc's i had cloned the first time. Since then i have to activate CS6 over and over again indicating a trial version. Also the other classroom with 25 pc' began to ask for activation after 2 years with no worries.
In oktober i Installed Premiere Elements on each individual computer one by one. And that went well for a few months but then all of a sudden PE began to prompt for activation. My collegues drive me crazy with their remarks and worries.
So far i tried to activate CS6 by creating a serialization file with the adobe application manager. When i run the file and retry the program i am no longer prompted for an activation... for a while.
There is no way to tell which device will prompt of when. It is random. Sometimes it is just one device, then all of a sudden it are 3-4.
Please help
Maarten

Hi Maarten,
Adobe Premiere elements 12 (individual license) requires sign in /activation if you have installed individually however you can suppress the sign window using Adobe provisioning toolkit
In case you have Adobe volume license for PRE 12. Please visit the link below to find the workflow.
Deploy Premiere Elements 11 and earlier | Windows
Thanks,

I forgot to add that your allowed two installs on two of your own computers, so you can go ahead and install
on your new computer and it should still activate unless you already used up your two activations.

I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first

I reformatted my hard drive, but forgot to deactivate CS6 first. I had CS6 installed on two computers. I deactivated CS6 on one computer, then installed CS6 on another computer. I then had issues with the new computer and am reformatting the disk. Problem is, I forgot to deactivate CS6d from the new computer. Will this mess me up?

Computer reconfiguration or replacement
You can receive an activation error if your computer has changed recently. You can't solve this problem on your own, if you've done one of the following:
Changed your computer's configuration, for example, due to a crash:
Upgraded your computer hardware
Replaced a hard drive
Upgraded the Operating System
Gotten a new computer and old computer is unavailable
Contact Adobe Support specialists via chat or over the phone on 1-866-772-3623.
Keep your serial number handy. Look for your serial number on the CD or DVD case, or in the email confirming your purchase. For assistance locating your serial number, see Find a serial number.

CS6 and Light room 4

Old obsolete laptop has CS6 and Light room 4 installed on it. Laptop is dying as well. Purchased new laptop and need to intall those programs onto it.
How do I do this?
Bruce

deactivate on your dying laptop (open each and click help>deactivate).
then download the trial installation files (if you have no dvds) and install on your new laptop using your serial number to activate.
to download cs6, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
for lr 4 if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-lightroom-4-is-out.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com
