Download & Install

I purchased the CS6 suite years ago, installing it on a PC and a laptop. The PC broke and I can no longer turn it on. How can I use the license on a new device?Please help me[This post moved from Firefly community to Download & Install community by Moderator] [Topic edited for clarity by Moderator.]  

I just purchased adobe elements and premier 2026 as a bundle. When I downloaded and installed they say they are the 2024 version. How do I get the correct download for the 2026 versions?

My old system is gone, moved to a new system and now I get the error: "The serial number [xxxx] is already in use by themaximum allowed computers. You need to deactivate another computer within 25days to use this product." Elsewhere I saw an answer that said if I don't deactivate the license on the old system (can't do this, nor can somebody with a crashed hard drive), I can't install CS6 on the new system. Is that true? What kind of crap policy is this? Isn't Adobe a repoutable company that supports its products? Doesn't Adobe have a database that's checked to see if there are multiple computers running the same license? Why can't that be updated to forget the old system?Is there any solution for this? I've got a valid license that Adobe will not allow me to run.And I absolutely loath subscription software. 

I am trying to reactivate my Adobe Photoshop on a new computer after de-activating from my old computer system.   The de-activation was confirmed but when I try to Activate on my new computer system it is now telling me that the Serial number is active on 2 computers and that I have now reached my limit of trying to Activate.      Any advice to correct this situation?  Thank you!  

Hi,Trying to install/move my PE 2019 to new (Win 11) laptop.  I have the disc, I have the 25 character code but there is no setup.exe file on the disc.  Can't find a solution anywhere and hope someone can help.Thanks

I just got the free trial of After Effects to try it out, and I can't seem to install it. I'm getting error code 206 and every solution that Adobe's solution page or AI Virtual bot gives me doesn't work and still won't allow me to install it, with the same repeated error code 206 no matter what. Does anybody know of any solutions on how to fix this or a work around, or potentially just why it won't install? This is frustrating given its during my trial period so every day that goes by is one lost to learn and experiment, and even more frustrating that there seems to be no way to contact an actual person from Adobe for help.  Cheers, and thanks

I bought new pc, I tried to make new installation of Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5. During installation i type serial number, which is accepted and click next. After a moment it asks me to log in into my adobe account, It cannot communicate with server, and informs me about "network error", I skip this step and installing. After installation and launching any program I get message that key is incorrect. Program was deactivated on previous machine. What to do?

I'm trying to install PS CS6 on an old MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion (10.8.5) that does not have internet access.I've followed the instructions to go to Adobe.com/go/getactivated. I entered the request code and product serial number on a computer with internet access, however the page simply resets and asks for the information again.The Adobe chatbot says that no assistance is available for unsupported products - like PS CS6.Any advice?Thanks

Hallo liebe CommunityIch habe folgendes Problem. Wir haben eine ältere Version von der Creative Suite auf 2 PCs installiert. (Win 10) Dazu waren auch noch Zusatzprogramme in Acrobat wie PitStop und joUp installiert. Alles lief ohne Probleme.Bei einer erneuten Installation auf einem anderen PC (Win 10) wurde leider keine der beiden vorigen Installation deaktiviert.Nach dem dieser Fehler festgestellt wurde, da bei der nun 3. Installation die Fehlermeldung kam die beiden anderen Installationen zu deaktivieren, haben wir dies auch gemacht. Jedoch ließ sich nun keine der 3 Installationen mehr aktivieren. Da haben wir auf dem neuen PC das komplette Programm wieder deinstalliert. Leider brachte dies auch nicht das erhoffte Ergebnis, dass die bisherigen Installationen sich wieder aktivieren haben lassen. Kann hier jemand hierbei bitte helfen, dass ich die bisherigen Installationen wieder zum laufen bekomme? Im Voraus besten Dank und viele GrüßeReinhold

Hello folks, This software is legitimately registered to me, and the serial number appears under my Adobe Account page. It’s a TLP license key, originally purchased for our design department. I have the original installer media (ISO copies) as well as the installer download from Adobe’s Manage Account page. When installing on a new Windows 11 system, the installer initially accepts my serial number and completes successfully. However, when I launch Photoshop (or any other CS5.5 app), I’m prompted again for the serial number — and this time it’s rejected with the message: “This serial number is not valid for this product.” I was able to run the software in trial mode for about a month, but that trial period has now expired, and the programs will no longer launch because it rejects my serial number. This serial number is unquestionably valid and tied to the correct media; it’s also listed under my registered products in my Adobe account. Is there any way to

Hello, I signed up for a free trial in September, but thereafter cancelled before the next filling cycle.  Evidently my request was not honored as I was charged for Oct 9 - Nov 8 billing cycle.  I wish this subscription to be cancelled going forward and no more charges to my account.  Thank you, Betty

Instalado correctamente el Ps CS3, en ordenador nuevo, pide un código Adobe XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX para volver activarlo, no hay manera de encontrar este código. Saludos Joan

I bought elements 2026 from my adobe account. When I try to install it on my mac running 15.6.1 I get error 183. I've uninstalled AVG software but it still fails. I've looked in the console and there are no error messages. When I try to click help I get a message directing me to the uk website. I've had an account with adobe for many years and never had this trouble before. What can I do.

I need help reactivating Adobe XI on an old system.   I have a serial number but it wants me to activate through adobe but won't support it anymore.  Adobe customer service sent me here.

My hard drive crashed and I had to get a new drive. All my software was removed. I can't find my disks for my Adobe. CS 6 creative suite? What do I need to do? I'm registered, isn't there some way adobe can load it for me?

I'm trying to install the Creative Cloud app, but when I try to launch the set-up nothing happens. I tried running as administrator and disabling windows defender but to no success. I've managed to notice the installer launching for a split second in task manager but then it just disappears. I can't use any Adobe app because of this. The same thing happens if I try downloading Ilustrator on it's own. I'm on windows 10

  Subject: Request for Assistance with Photoshop Elements 9 Deactivation and Reinstallation Dear Adobe Customer Care,   I purchased a hard copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 from Best Buy approximately 12 years ago. The computers where I originally installed the program are no longer available, and I would now like to reinstall it on a new device. Since I cannot access the old installation, I am unsure how to properly deactivate the license to proceed with a new installation. Could you please advise me on the steps I should take to deactivate the previous installation and reinstall the software on my current computer? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support you can provide. Thank you in advance for your assistance. (I will provide the Serial number when you send me an email response)   Best regards,Gina Wu  [Personal information removed by moderator.] Sep. 11, 2025 [Moderator moved from the Photoshop forum (which is a different app than Photoshop Elements

Hello hello... after working with a Desktop PC and Windows 11, where CS3 runs properly, I bought a notebook with Winds 11, and there is a problem, I can't resolve: Starting Photoshop is not the problem but open that window to insert the key is. So what to do? Does anybody have an idea to fix this? That would be fantastic.Thomas
