Question

Transfer Adobe XI to new computer, but old computer broken

Hello,

 

A colleague of mine needs help transferring her license to her new machine.   The old computer is unfortunately unuseable so we cannot deactivate the license like usual.   The new machine's copy keep saying it will be deactivated shortly because it's in use elsewhere.   When I log into my account for the licenses I do not see an option to say "deactivate this computer" and under "activated devices" there is absolutely nothing listed.

 

Help would be appreciated.

If you have a team/enterprise account you must deal with this directly through the admin console. Regular support cannot help enterprise account customers.

As far as I know this has nothing to do with a team/enterprise setup. Years ago, we bought a few copies of Adobe Acrobat XI that came with serial numbers.

Hi,

 

If you are unable to use the machine to do the deactivation, then you need to speak to abobe support.

They wouldn't help me at all so I am trying to contact our account manager.   

 

We need this software to be accessible. The newer versions do not work well with Jreport.

You can deactivate an app from the account management page.

Hi Chad, as stated in my initial message nothing at all shows up under that section.
