Problem CS Premium old activation on new laptop Win8.1

My old XP desktop crashed and died. Impossible to uninstall my CS Premium 2003.  Got a new laptop Windows8.1.  Software installs from the CD, but activation has 'failed '.  Yes, I know that the software is not supported.  No, I need not the latest versions for what I do.  (especially the costs involved).  I want to just install and activate the software that I already own, my new computer is perfectly able to install and run.  Activation is the problem.  No activation phone is available, no option for any other kind of answers from Adobe.  Adobe apparently just wants me to spit an another $1500 for what is, indeed, a 24 digit number.  I think it is a bit excessive, given that I don't need new versions of software. It is the first CS Premium Suite, we are talking about.  Does anyone have a solution or any ideas?

BTW - processor Intel Core i5, 1 TB HD, 8G RAM, so there a lot of power, space and ram. It's really just how activate as we speak.  Thank you.

And I must say, it's very disappointing.  Adobe has definitely left the friendly company, professional that I've dealt with since Illustrator 88 andhas is just another monster concerned with bottom lines rather than the customer service.  Software price should include premium customer support - and I'd be willing to pay for the software that has exceeded its lifetime of business, but it is not yet available.  Not cool, Adobe.

  • Installation of Lightroom 4 from the old to the new laptop

    I looked on the Forum and also dealt with Adobe Chat.  My problem is that I'm trying to allow my downloaded 4 of Lightroom for my new laptop computer.  I got 4 Lightroom on my old laptop.  The Forum and the Chat tech room instructions were to download and enter my key to convert the trial to licensed version.  The download is very good, and I have Lightroom (not sure what version?) on my new laptop.  When I tried to enter my Lightroom 4 code, I got a message that it was not valid.  I think it might be because the download was for creative cloud, are not specifically about Lightroom.  I know there is a Lightroom stand-alone version, but I can't understand how to deal with this.  Help, please!

    I think you have three choices-

    1 download LR - 4.4.1 and install with your LR-4 serial key. Adobe - Lightroom: for Windows

    2. buy a "Standalone" LR-6/CC upgrade. You will need your new LR-6 keys and LR-4.

    3. buy a subscription to LR - CC.

    Your LR - 4 key will work for up to LR 4.4.1 updates

  • Can't save Adobe Design Premium 5.5 on new laptop Mac.

    I just installed Adobe Design Premium 5.5 on my new laptop (reset on the old laptop HD). Time of launch, the applications require a series of 6 figures #. However, Design Premium 5.5 DVD comes with a 24-digit serial number. I registered the sw with Adobe in May 2011, and it is still listed in my Adobe account - with the 24 digit #.

    How to get out of limbo of the Trial Version?

    These boxes are purely for readability - just like a credit card number.

    Each of these serial number boxes accept 4 digits. boxes of 4 digits x 6 is 24 digits.

  • HP ENVY 17-j184na Notebook PC: problems of wireless connection on the new laptop

    I bought a new laptop a few days ago and tried to connect to the network without wire in our apartment for 2 days but nothing helped.

    So far, I did the following steps:

    -Restore the system to factory settings.

    -Powercycled the network.

    -Reset the TCP / IP / catalog Winsock.

    -Checked and changed the stop option.

    -Re-installed and updated all the drivers of network.

    -Started in SafeMode w / networking and still unable to connect.

    -Ran all 3 windows solve problems and the problem of internet connection of HP.

    -Updated the BIOS with the latest version of the driver.

    I created my own personal hotspot using my phone and managed to connect very well, so I think that maybe that's a problem with my laptop to connect to my router, but everything else connects very well.

    I have an ethernet cable connected and has associated with perfectly too.

    My laptop is a HP ENVY 17-j184na Notebook PC and my wifi specifications are

    I don't know if that helps, but also sometimes the connection does not appear in my list of connections, but it is very rarely, about 3 - 4 times in the last 2 days.

    If anyone could offer advice that could help I would really appreciate it and if someone needs additional information then please let me know (and possibly let me know how I could get this information).

    Thank you in advance for anything

    Hi all

    Problem has been resolved.

    Just in case someone else has the same problem, if you try to connect to a router and it communicates but don't connect does not then it might be a problem with the frequency to which you are trying to connect.

    In this case, my laptop could connect only to a 5 GHz frequency but my router was capable of a frequency of 2.4 ghz, so he was able to connect to all the rest but not that. (Particularly if you use a hub SKY).

    The problem has now been resolved by buying a wireless adapter card that plugs into the USB port. If you don't need to buy a Please make sure that buy you one with dual band capabilities.

    I hope this helps someone in the future!

    Best regards

  • Windows mobile 8 from the old to the new laptop / desktop

    Hello

    I plan to buy a new laptop/desktop computer. My current laptop HP G6 2301ax supplied with windows pre-installed 8.

    Now, is it possible to move windows 8 from the old to new hardware?

    If so, please suggest how.

    Thank you

    Suraj

    Hello

    You can't do it.

    It is what explains why:

    If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

    OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

    The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

    License of operating system in detail, that you buy and install yourself, are allowed to be transferred to another machine.

    And retail licenses also can be installed on a machine at one time.

  • Installation / transfer problem from the old to the new Mac.

    I just bought a new iMac and want to install my CS6 Design & Web Premium (education version) to the new machine.


    I tried installing from the disk and get the message "the serial number you provided is valid, but calling it a product is not found on the computer.


    The software is licensed and registered with my Adobe account and initially bought a provider Education UK (Pugh computers).


    I installed it and activated on my iMac only 5 years.

    The message you get is indicating you have purchased an upgrade version and it can't find the old version installed on the computer in order to allow you to use the upgrade.  You don't need to install the old version, but do not show proof of possession of the old version.  There should be a presented option where you can chose the old version in the list and then specify the serial number.

  • Family safety does not work on a new laptop with windows 8 preinstalled

    Hello, I previously used Family Safety (FS) on my daughters netbook and it worked very well. I took my cell phone account that she does not have an account on. So for Christmas we he bought a new laptop (win8) of full size. I created myself as the admin, and him as a standard user with a different username than its netbook, and I configured FS for the new account on the new laptop. Well, I am not sure if more FS works on the netbook, but I am sure that it does not work on the new laptop to 100%. I tried over and over reconfiguring, sometimes it won't save even my applications updated. It simply doesn't get it. The only thing I can think is that, in the implementation of his account, it doesn't have an e-mail address, and I was forced to create a local account. Could it done than the FS functionality?

    Hi, I had family security to work by removing the local account that I wanted to monitor and adjust it upward with a hotmail instead of just local account. Family safety has started working immediately and exactly as expected. I always think that theres a problem when people are trying to implement local accounts. Thank you for trying to help me in any case, if I need help in the future I will contact you guys once again.
