[Branched] adobe creative suite 5.5 activation

This is not useful to someone who does not have a current subscription. I have the same issue and the thing keeps barring me from talking with support unless I have a CC subscription, when my issue is with CS5, a product that still does everything I need, I bought, I own, and would simply like to use.

@UsernamePerson123,

Once your activation limit is exceeded, you're stuck. The only option is to deactivate CS5x from the device(s) it was previously installed on to free-up activations.  If that's not possible, you'll need to find a modern replacement.  Neither Adobe nor this user-to-user forum can help you.

 

On the bright side, you got 14+ years of use from CS5x which was way beyond its 3-5 year shelf-life. 😊

 

MODERN OPTIONS:
==============
FREE Acrobat Reader -- view, comment & print PDF.

Paid Acrobat Pro DC -- the complete solution for creating and saving PDF files.

Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements (no subscription needed).

Creative Cloud Photography Plan (approx $10/month for 12 months). Includes the following:

  • Photoshop CC and Photoshop on iPad
  • Camera Raw
  • Lightroom on desktop, mobile and the web
  • Lightroom Classic
  • Portfolio website + hosting
  • Adobe Express (free starter plan)
  • Bridge
  • 20 GB cloud storage (upgradable to 1 TB).

Premium Adobe Express ($10/month). Mobile & web-based graphics & video apps for social media content creators.

Hope that helps.

Since this was branched, I don't know what the issue is.  Please give details.
