I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Cloud from my old computer so I can install it on my new one. How do I turn off the license? 

 

1. Uninstalled Photoshop and Lightroom

2. Could not uninstall Creative Cloud. Message said there is still and app on my computer. This app is Camera Raw that has no uninstall option.

 

Questions:

 

1. How do I uninstall Camera RAW?

2. How Do I properly uninstall Creative Cloud so my license can be used on my new computer? 

 

thanks!

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html


 p.s. you don't need to uninstall anything in order to use cc on another computer. 

you can install the cc desktop app from here https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud on as many (mac and/or win) computers as you own and use it to install all (or some, if you want) of your cc subscription programs.

 

the only (insignificant for internet connected computers) limitation is that you can sign-in (and therefore start your adobe programs) on, at most, two computers without signing-out. because you can sign out from either (or both) signed-in computers using a 3rd computer, this could not (imo) be easier. https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-apps-number-of-computers.html

however, if you want to uninstall adobe apps 

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging
