Anybody use "EaseUS Todo PCTrans" to move Adobe CS6

[bmadams]

Hello and thanks,

I have Adobe CS6 on a desktop running Win7.64, I have had it for years but no longer have my original purchase records or Adobe account login. It has worked lawlessly so I have not had to keep/use that account info.

I am building a new/faster Win7.64 machine and need that Adobe CS6 on it.

It seems I am screwed without having my original License/purchase info, my bad..lesson learned.

I found a 3rd party software; "EaseUS Todo PCTrans" that claims to be able to transfer "installed" programs, and even lists Adobe CS6 as an example of what it can do.

I have used EaseUS backup and recovery software over the years and they seem legit...

Has anybody used this product, for this purpose?

Or used another product to successfully move Adobe CS6 to a new Windows7 PC/install?

Thanks in advance...

Lost information - see reply #1 in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2008767

- page has links to programs to find an installed serial number in Mac or Windows

- includes link to your Adobe account to check for registered serial numbers

- when you find your serial number(s) write them down and put in a desk drawer

don't transfer any adobe programs.  it will fail.

properly install using the installation files*** and your serial number*.

* you have 3 ways to recover a serial number that you once had:

1. if you purchased from or registered with adobe (automatically done with cs6):,

    a. you can check your account, https://accounts.adobe.com

    b. you can check with adobe support** (be prepared to give the email address used when registering purchasing)

2. if your adobe program is installed on another computer you can recover its serial number from that computer, (win:) http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html, (mac:)  https://mac-product-key-finder.com/

And a big thank you to Jim @ Prodesigntools for helping me with these links!

THANKS!! Ok, reading the 2 replies, and the links.. seems Belarc is the best recomendation considering the other options.

Here is what Belarc is telling me:

Are those the License #s, at the end of each product, that will allow the reinstall on a new PC ((I xxxx the last 4 numbers)

And I realize I will have to make sure I am downloading and installing the EXACT same product ie CS4 "Design Premium" etc

Adobe Systems - Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - English, Français, Deutsch    REMOVED

Adobe Systems - Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium    REMOVED

Adobe Systems - Adobe Lightroom    REMOVED

Adobe Systems - Adobe Photoshop CC 2014    REMOVED

Adobe Systems - Adobe Photoshop CS6    REMOVED

Adobe Systems - Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0    REMOVED

I guess I did not realize what EXACT products I had until I ran Belarc 🙂

This is a PUBLIC FORUM... do not post even a partial serial number... Mod

Being new to the Forum; can I click on more then 1 "Correct Answer" to my post?

[kglad]

no, you can only make one correct.  you can like more than 1 and you can mark more than 1 helpful.

yes, those are your license numbers.  (except ps cc 2014 doesn't have a serial number so i'm not sure what that is).

using those with the download links should allow you to properly install and activate any or all (except ps cc 2014) those programs.  you won't be able to register those old programs, but that's not necessary anyway.

John T Smith and kglad; thanks so much, I have 'liked' and marked "Helpful" to all your responses. And they were both truly "Correct Answers". I wish I could click on this for both. Both correct; one was faster, one has a bit more information (download links). I see why both are flagged as MVP users on the Forums... THANK YOU!!!

I will proceed with the new build and the reinstalls using the Belarc provided License info (not the CC product).

This will be a week or so (my reality), but will followup with my experience in hopes of helping others..

[kglad]

you're very welcome.
