I own a copy of Creative Sutie 6 Master Collection.  I recently purchased a new laptop which does not have a CD/DVD drive.  I would like to uninstall my copy of CS6 from my old computer and reinstall onto my new computer.  What is the best way to do this?

open your adobe apps and click help>deactivate.  you can then uninstall and maintain your two activations on other computers.

install and activate on your new computer.

if you need the install files, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html

You can keep CS6 on your old computer since you're allowed two activations per license.

Note: if you have a Windows version serial number, you can only ever install the software on a Windows version. You cannot install a Windows version on a Mac using a Windows serial number and vice versa.

If you do want to uninstall it on your old computer, open any CS6 app on your old computer and click Help > Deactivate to deactivate the entire CS6 Suite. You can then uninstall it via your operating system.

To reinstall on your new computer, download the trial version from:

Install then enter your serial number to license the software on your new computer.
