How to disable the stolen computer program?
Our InDesign program has been enabled on a computer that was stolen. How to disable so it can be activated on another computer, we have?
If it is a subscription, change your Adobe ID immediately. Now activate it on two computers. That deprives the other computer to this one.
If it is a purchase, it is not so simple, maybe, they have stolen your right to use the software. Contact Adobe to see if they are ready to release him. Since they cannot block the stolen copy, they give you that here, indeed. It would be one of your insurers.

So my computer was stolen, the other day and had top CC. I was wondering if anyone knew if I could disable one computer from another. Thank you!
Hi Chris,
I checked your account and disabled all of the current activations under your Adobe ID
You can connect to Adobe CC on your new machine now. Will not work the CC on the stolen computer.
Kind regards

Hello
My Toshiba laptop was stolen 2 days ago, the computer has just 5 months and I always keep the box, the registration number, and all documentation. Is there any tool that Toshiba could use to track my computer whenever they use it once again, connect to the internet, etc.
Microsoft could act? Windows Vista has been installed...
Also, is there a database where can I report it as stolen, if the computer is taken to a repair center to check and it has been reported?
And last question, I put a password, sign in, it's something that they can overcome and access my information?
Thank you for your help

Stolen laptop - deactivation of the operating system to prevent future use.
Greetings,
I learned my father's cell phone was stolen a couple of weeks. Us, father, sister and myself all have / had the same laptop and (update for win 7 since vista) on a license for 3 users. Is there a process with Microsoft where they can disable the OS of the stolen laptop? This process will not affect the other mobile OS licenses? I ask because we wish to re - use the operating system on another laptop of replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nope. Nothing can be done. Who stole the computer allows you to use it.

Pro 450 2 book: Stolen laptop
A laptop computer belonging to aclient wasstolen of my car a couple of days. Is there a way I can follow and possible, lock or erase the data on it, because it is quite sensitive. The only reference I have is the serial number and the name of the computer,. Help, please.
Hello;
Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
Sorry, but it's only a volunteer community forum and we can nothing to track or to collect the missing goods.
What I recommend is the following:
(1) contact the HP customer support, talk to them about the stolen laptop and get a case number
If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!
2) contact the local police authorities on the flight - provide them with all the information they need and show them proof of ownership. You should very probably to this were then the laptop go if they experience
(3) when the laptop is returned, contact Absolute Software to get Lojack for Laptops for her. Which allows you to declare a stolen laptop and find him then, once it is then connected to the Internet.Good luck

Can I disable the product key of Win7 on a laptop stolen?
I bought a family pack of Windows7 and used a updates on the laptop for my son who was stolen last month. Can I disable the product key on the laptop and use the key on another pc?
Unfortunately, no, there is no method available to disable remote a product key.
because the thief has your computer, even if it were possible, they could just use a retreival key utility and retrieve your product key. Also, this sets up a cat and mouse scenarios, because they could easily re-activate the license using phone activation. Your best option is to use the phone activation and explain carefully the situation in the call that your product key agent and the laptop has been compromised. The might be able to do something. If you had used the encryption, your data could be much safer.
Activate Windows 7 manually:
1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 42. press enter on your keyboard
3. Select your country.
4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

I recently had my laptop lost or stolen, can someone tell me how I can disable the CC apps? Can I only get you invited to turn off if you try to install a third-party device? I I only loaded them on one device today.
Hi Emma,
Creativce Cloud subscription is good for use on 2 computers according to the end-user license agreement. You can go ahead and activate it on another machine.
If you want to activate a 3rd machine that a message would appear on citing your use of the software on 2 computers, there you have an option to click on "Continue" where you want to disable the copy on a previous machine.

Hello
I have the CS4 Suite of Design on 2 macbooks. While traveling abroad, I have my stolen laptop. I bought a new macbook and I installed CS4 on it. I read that you can disable and re-enable in order to see the serial number, so I can put it on a new. I have 2 questions:
1. is it possible to disable remote a fly? Unfortunately, there no record... I know! I should have, but I did not...
2. when I turn off and turn on the laptop I still, it does not show the serial number. I have disable and close. When it reopens it does not show the screen of the option with the serial number. Photoshop POP just straight up.
Y at - it something I am doing wrong? If the serial number is not obtained in this way, is there another way I can get this set up?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Ah, you have already performed the procedure to http://indesignsecrets.com/help-ive-lost-my-serial-number.php on the machine, you still - no result.
On Windows, there are a number of free programs that can be used to retrieve the serial numbers of the installed programs. Maybe you can try to find (Google) if there are similar programs for the Mac?

Qosmio F750 - how to disable the user locking after the closure of the laptop?
Hello
I have a Qosmio laptop, F750 and I would keep it active after the closing of the screen keyboard. At the time you close the screen that the user is locked and my remote via WiFi connection does not recognize the laptop is ON more.
I use iTunes with their Remote app to control music on the laptop and want to have the laptop running in the background with the display closed, but as soon as I do this I lose the connection.
I disabled the hibernation in the power settings, but this only works if the screen remains open.Any help would be appreciated.
Thank youWhich is really strange.
When you open the power settings in the Panel on the left side you will find the option choose closing the cover. Set it to do nothing and to test it.> and want to have the laptop running in the background with the display closed
Why? Leave it open. The key is that the screen is off and you can assign parameters of energy too. -
