Uninstalling on old computer before reinstalling the new
I have creative cloud loaded on my laptop at home and my pc at the studio. The video card on my laptop at home has failed. Nothing but a white screen when I turn it on. I bought a new computer, but have I not uninstall Photoshop (et al.) out of my laptop until I can load on my new computer at home? If so, I do not know how to recover the license info and am not sure I want to pay for a new video card installed; Can I use the old laptop as a door (LOL) stop. Help me understand how to proceed to the loading of the Adobe on my new computer, under these circumstances, including Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, and InDesign. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Kevin (Elberton, GA)
Ideally you would disable (help > deactivate) ps on your old laptop. but it will be quite difficult when you can see what you're doing.
then, contact adobe support. they can help by resetting your number of activations, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

Uninstalling Photoshop CS3 on old computer and installing the new computer?
Hello, I want to uninstall Photoshop CS3 from my old PC, as I just built a new PC for my home photo editing. I want to install Photoshop CS3 on my new computer, and then install the upgrade buy Photoshop CS6. Is I meet all the problems from a license point of view? I need to talk to someone on the phone at Adobe and get their permission before doing this?
Thanks in advance!
Jason
You don't need to install CS3 at all - unless you really want to. All that is needed is CS6 installing. It will ask you a serial qualification in the upgrade process. If you offer your activations, then call support, otherwise there is no requirement for this.

I got a new computer (an old dies) new a windows vista and I have to disable the old computer before I load the same copy of Vista on my new computer. If yes how can I do this?
If Vista is preinstalled on your OLD computer, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptopIf a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.A single license is a single Installation.
If it is a retail Vista license, read the information on the clean install and then reactivate it:
http://www.theeldergeekvista.com/vista_clean_installation.htm
A tutorial on the use of a clean install

Super Guide Windows Vista Installation
After installation > go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > get latest Vista drivers for it > download/install them.
See you soon.

I have a user who no longer works for the company. Someone took his place, the same computer. She used the same account as the former user. I would like to delete the old user and assign the new. It will lose something if I do this? I wouldn't reinstall anything, right?
Hi Greg,.
You won't lose any application on the computer.
You can remove a user from the license and assign it to another user according to the help below document:

I have PS CS6 (2012) and the wand to move it to a new Mac. I did a search on the web, but the information was not conclusive. I have to disable my current Mac before installing the new Mac? I still have the CD to install it. Thanks in advance for any help.
You can install and activate up to 2 Macs for your own use. That would leave you with a spare part if something were to happen with your old Mac.
However if you are going to get rid of, see help > deactivate, then also check the option to remove the serial number power the computer off.
Then go to your folder CS6 use the Uninstall.app to properly remove Photoshop. Do not drag the folder to the trash.
You can install fresh on your new Mac from your drive, turn and look for the updates.
As a note: do not move or copy your old installation of Photoshop to a new Mac.

Hello
I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate to copy some movies and pictures of my HP laptop with Vista, but it became a big problem. It slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly. Then it wouldn't start without the external drive at all but it was working fine once he was conducting with the external hard drive. So thinking I can outsmart the computer, I uninstalled the drive from Control Panel. Now it primer not at all. The computer lights up briefly and then goes out of itself almost immediately, is there a solution to this? Thank you

Original title: startup problem
Hi SomBhattacharya,
Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:
1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:
Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.I hope this helps!

Microsoft cares if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard?
I am building a newish computer; Microsoft cares any longer, if I use my old OS OEM with the new motherboard? All of the previous answers to this question are all about 2011 are resolutely "affirmative", they care. I know that Microsoft has had a change of heart (at least I think) regarding their operating system. With the upcoming free update, I was hoping I could recycle my Windows 7 64 bit, an increase in the time up to 10 comes out.
Thank you.

I buy a new mac. How to make my adobe account and my current computer applications to the new?
You should only install and connect on the new machine. Your license allows you to have two functional facilities, so if you want you can keep the original as a backup. If yu can just log out of the old machine and will release that the activation of another facility elsewhere.
Download/install the desktop application, connect and install applications subscription.

Should I uninstall CS4 master collection before installing the master collection CS6?
I bought CS6 Master Collection (DVD) and I wonder if I need to uninstall CS4 before installing the new version?
Depends on what plug-ins and tools you use, and whether or not they are compatible with the CS6. If this isn't a problem, and you are reasonably sure you don't need a fallback option, to uninstall CS4 before installing the CS6 is indeed the way to do it. It is completely optional.
