I'm trying to deactivate a copy of Adobe Design Standard CS3 from one computer so that I can activate it on another laptop. The problem is, I don't see exactly where to do it. When I look under the Help Menu, all I see is this...

When I look under "Help | Photoshop Help..." and search for "deactivate," here's what I get...

Where's "Deactivae?"

    The first screenshot looks like a Volume Licensed version.

    Ahh. It looks like you can't transfer Educational Versions of Adobe software. Thanks for the assistance.

    To transfer is to transfer the license (serial number) from one Adobe ID to another. That cannot be done with an EDU version.

    Transfer an Adobe product license

    I understand that you want to deactivate the software on one computer and install and activate it on another. That's certainly possible. No restrictions on the EDU version for that.

    Do you have an EDU version or a Volume Licensed version?
