Once my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced, Adobe will not activate the copy of Photoshop on the same machine, on what it was originally. I paid for it, why can I not use it?
I've been buying and using Adobe Photoshop through many versions over the past decades. and I used to recommend it whenever I had the opportunity. Now I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. I could say much more that this, using my parents taught me to not use words.
Now, Adobe has their head in the clouds and does not care one iota of loyal customers.
I had CS3 on a CS4 on another and CS6 on another machine. The hard drive on the machine with CS3 and had to be replaced. I am trying to reinstall CS3 on the same computer, but Adobe won't let me activate it, even if I'm putting it on the computer, on which he was originally. I paid for it, I went by the rules, and Adobe will not even for me. And as far as I know, Adobe is released so far in the clouds has nothing but contempt for people who kept them in business for decades.
What I would really like to do, it of pass the machine that originally had on that CS3 and CS3, put on the machine which has now the CS4 CS4, but I guess no one at Adobe case what I would like, even if I pay for the software and I have no intend to try to have it installed on more than one machine at a time.
A disgruntled FORMER Adobe customer.

See the help of Activation & deactivation and follow the links, so you can disable your CS3 (via chat). Be sure to have your serial number available. Then you should be able to activate on the new drive.

Packed HARD drive
If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected? He still believes that I am still on the old HDD?If my HARD drive crashes and I have to replace, can I reinstall Windows 7 on the same computer? How the product key is affected?

Yes.
Not at all.
N °
If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish. A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.
Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer... Then you have a problem.
Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

Hard drives fail. When they do, I have to reload all my programs on the new drive. Everything goes without a hitch, BUT for ADOBE ACROBAT. How can I get this program purchased a valid activation code or serial number? I'm supposed to have a perpetual license, technical support function. The Chat group is not able to help, for some unknown reason. Adobe makes more difficult every time it happens for me to get the program run again. Makes me want to switch to another program. [email protected] is my email. Thank you!
your serial number is unchanged.
Use the installation file of the program (acrobat 9 pro ext) that corresponds to your serial number.

OK, until recently, the hard drive of my laptop couldn't, and I had to replace, no biggie, I really care about this laptop in any case. Then I threw ubuntu top and let it go from there. But recently, I wonder, if I could get windows again for her, for free. I am sure that it is not under warranty, but I could go and check of 90 percent. I have no back ups for it because it was cheap.

Yes, if the hard drive has been installed you can just catch a Windows ISO-8 8.1 is not available now and make an own Install.Then, if you have the sticker of the product key on the back of your laptop use the product key to activate. Devices with Windows 8 generally have incorporated in their BIOS product key and use the following tool to get the product key:
Download the key tool produces OEM of Windows
Then, you can use the key to activate. In the meantime, here is the link to download windows ISO 8.1 and generate the installation media

My hard drive crashed and I had to reload vista. I can not find the product key. What can I do?
Contact the manufacturer of your computer.
Look on the side/back if a desktop computer; down if a laptop.
Also look on any packaging the VistaDVD came, if you bought it yourself.
If the product key is lost, we can NOT help you replace.
See you soon.

I tried a number of times to upgrade to windows 10. I get c1900101 - 4000D as a mistake. Once, my entire hard drive crashed and I had to reinstall Windows 7. I am also having a problem installing Adobe Flash player. It is said that API-MS-Win-Core-Registery-l1-1-0.dll is missing but I don't know what it is. Any suggestions?
"Configuration settings" is the final phase and fault codes look like c1900101 x400xx. The most common failure here is 40017, which means we could not start. Since this is the first time start us Windows 10 with all the drivers in place, once again, drivers are usually the cause of the accident. These issues tend to be less transient than the 30018 s, then a second test is less likely to solve the problem. Yet, it never hurts to try.
Try to upgrade manually:
Task of pre-required
When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

- How to: upgrade previous versions of Windows using the file ISO for Windows 10
then
- Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
- Reboot several times, and then try again.
- Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
- If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
- Perform a clean boot, restart, and then try again.
- If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both, then try to install.
- If you are updated through Windows Update, when download reaches 100% disconnect from the LAN (Ethernet) Internet or Wi - Fi, then proceed with the installation.
- If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
- If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account.
- If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
If the problem persists, try the upgrade manually, but choose the option to keep personal files only, you will have to reinstall applications.

After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way. In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years. Is it possible to consolidate them in a library? And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?
In the future more facts and less editorial help here
SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem
What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)
You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries
You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock
When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library
I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings
