I am planning on reformatting my hard drive and reinstalling the OS. I run
Vista business on my computer and the install is rather buggy. I am hoping
that a new install of Vista will solve the problem. I currently have
Photoshop CS3 installed on that computer. What do I have to do to reinstall
Photoshop. Do I have to contact Adobe or can I just reinstall the software.
I've been using the same computer for 7 years and have had many and struggles reinstalling the operating system and all my software from time to time. Today, the struggle is with reinstalling Photoshop CS4.
- I just installed Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3.
- I reinstalled Photoshop CS4 but every time at launch it says: ...
i had ps7, then cs upgrade, then cs2 upgrade
i have all the disks and numbers
i am going to a new computer
do i have to install ps7 then cs then cs2?
or can i just install cs2 (since its an upgrade will it install with no other photoshops already on the computer?
2nd question will i need to call adobe or will it activate ok since i believe you can use two computers with the license
I used system repair because PS had a problem (crashed after file open) and reinstalling didn't help. This time I get an error starting PS CS3.The error message is: The licensing subsystem has failed catastrophically. You must reinstall or call customer support. If I want to reinstall from the cd, its starts fine, but doens't do anything.If I start the setup from the cd, it does nothing.I tried windows - software - remove/reinstall, but also nothing happens. What can I do now? Is there a tool to remove PS?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had Photoshop 9 installed on an older i Mac whose hard drive failed, and on a Mac book laptop. I wish to activate on my new i Mac, but the program believes I still have installed on two previous computers. I do not have the old computer with the failed hard drive and there is no way to access the program on that unit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedAm using Photoshop 6.0. Had to retire an old computer, but want to continue to use the Photoshop 6.0 software on my new laptop with Windows Vista Home.
Have the Photoshop 6.0 Upgrade CD for Windows, have the Serial Number from the previous version (had registered it, and it was stored on the Adobe website), have my Customer ID#.
When I put the CD into the laptop, it asks for the previous media (CD) which I do not have. Unable to get past this point of the installation.
How can I install the software to my new laptop?
I have recently bought the upgrade to PS cs4 and installed it over my cs3 version. Shortly after this windows crashed & I had to reinstall windows XP but I can't seem to reinstall PS cs4 I get a 1605 message. If I just try to run the old program which still on my C drive the program opens and then I get a 147:20 message sayiong I have to reboot(w/o success) I would uninstall ps, but the program won't let me get as far as being able
to deactivate it.
I need to uninstall, then reinstall PSCS4. Do I have to deactivate before uninstalling?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a new computer with PsCC installed. Unfortunately, I have to have my hard drives reformatted and Windows 8 reinstalled, so I have to reinstall PsCC on this same computer. Do I simply sign in, download and install PsCC and Bridge again when my computer is ready? Will Adobe count it as a second installation or do I need to deactivate PsCC before I reinstall it on the same machine?
View 3 Replies View RelatedDo I have to deactivate my copy of CS6 before I do a reinstall of the operating system or, will it recognize the reinstall of the program (CS6) as legitimate and just install it with out any problems? I have never done this before with Adobe products.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got CS6 currently. I'm looking to reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate and I'm wondering how hard (or easy) it'll be to reinstall my copy of cs6.
I've never had to do this, so I'm sort of "fumbling in the dark" as it were.
Is there a way to uninstall just Photoshop and then reinstall just Photoshop without messing with the rest of the suite. Everything else is running smoothly. I'm running CS6 Production Premium on Windows 7 64-bit.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried to address this with the Adobe helpdesk, but I couldn't get through the process. The system seems to be under the impression I don't own an adobe product.
Anyway, I've been having some problems recently with cs3. I bought it about one year ago, and after some initial snafus, it worked like a dream.
Recently, though, a virus got into my computer and I had to do a system restore. I set it up so that all of my programs and preferences would be left alone. After all of this was over, I tried to start cs3, and it wouldn't start.
I just got the generic '(insert program name here) had encountered a problem and needs to close.'. I wasn't able to deactivate it as a result, and removed it from my computer. I put the disc back in, and it refused to install properly. The shared components were all that made it. Is the problem that it wasn't deactivated? If so, how can I do that without the program itself?
I had desktop icon and shortcut error messages so I reinstalled photoshop cs3 and not all of the programs associated with photoshop have reappeared. I then deactivated photoshop, uninstalled it, went to photoshop folders and manually deleted as much as I could find, reinstalled it and again the same thing.

Secondly, is there any information whether CS4 will support more than 4 gb of ram?
I installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my new iMac (previously installed on my older imac). After installing the software and launching the organizer, it asked me to index my photos. Custom reindexing 11000 plus photos is not a pleasant thought. How do I find my old index, either on my new mac or on my time machine backup?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have Photoshop CS6 Standard already installed on my Mac (OS 10.8). My employer has just purchased the extended version for me and I would like to upgrade. I have a valid serial number to do this.
Â
I understand that the software is the same and depending on the serial number it can unlock the extended portion of CS6. Is there any way of upgrading the installed version to extended by re-intering the new serial number or should I just install a second copy of PS CS6 and have 2 PS CS6 (one standard and one extended)?
I recently had to reinstall OS X 10.7.4 because 10.8 will not run on my Mac. After the reinstall, Photoshop cannot find any licenses and does not offer me any way to re-enter my registration key.How can I get it to recognize the key or remove it entirely for a reinstall?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI downloaded some trial plugins and then removed them and ever since, CS5 is not working well. Sometimes when I open it and go to file open to open an image, everything is grayed out and I have to close down and re-launch. When I open an image and want to look at the file info, everything freezes and I have to use task manager to close down Photoshop.
As well, my bridge is not working correctly. I want to uninstall and then reinstall, but I thought that somewhere that I read there are specific ways to do that or else the program thinks you're trying to load it on another computer..?
My adobe applications are starting to crash so I need to re-install. The problem is that according to my System Info my serial number is
[serial number deleted] and reinstalling says I need 24 digits. Where the serial numbers changed and if so how can I get a new serial number.
I bought Photoshop CS4 about a year and a half ago and it worked on my old Macbook (10.5.8) absolutely fine. I recently upgraded to a Macbook Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and now Photoshop crashes about every ten minutes for no apparent reason. By "crashes" I mean that the spinning wait cursor appears and I am forced to use force quit as Photoshop is no longer responding.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, turned off automatic graphics switching and nothing seems to work.
After uninstalling and reinstalling my printer driver I am no longer able to print a document I used to be able to print on the same printer.
Â
Now I get "The saved printer information is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements, or the saved printer is no longer available. You will need to check your printer settings before printing."
Â
I have confirmed the my settings are correct and I am able to print to the printer using other applications.
I recently had my hard drive begin failing and had a new drive installed. I am trying to find out how to download PSE8 onto my new drive. I also need to reload Lightroom 4, which I have a disk for, but I keep getting an error 1935 when trying to install it.  I thought I would just go to the Adobe site and download it too, but besides the same problem I'm having with downloading PSE8, my Adobe info only listed PSE8. My records show I registered Lightroom November 2012.Â

Also, If I delete all metadata and previews associated with my pictures will this also delete all editing of my photos or will that just get rid of the Catalogs?
