I am rebooting my old macs and had CS6 installed on one 2012 machine and want to move it to another machine (not new) however I began the process of installing without realising the licence key was not the code on the box. I cancelled the unistall by it appears to have removed most of it already. Is there a way to recover this? 

 

I didn't appear to register it on Adobe.com and have no emails or paper trail recording the key. 

 

I am just dabbling so not looking to purchase it when I have the software which I bought to use indefinatly. 

 

Trying to speak to Adobe got me nowhere are the sofeware is unbsupported which I understand.

there are several possible ways to find/recover an adobe serial number.

 

1. search purchased materials: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/find-serial-number.html

 

2. you can check your account (if you purchased from or registered with adobe AND you remember the adobe id used to purchase/register), https://accounts.adobe.com

 

3. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer,

Thanks, sadly as I started the uninstall it had already unstalled the programs. I am kicking myself! 

 

It does not appear to be under my purchases on my adobe account.

 

I am really pulling at strings to see if there is anyway to get a copy of it. I have the disk and everything else including the reciept but no licence key.
