[Branched] adobe creative suite 5.5 activation

[UsernamePerson123]

This is not useful to someone who does not have a current subscription. I have the same issue and the thing keeps barring me from talking with support unless I have a CC subscription, when my issue is with CS5, a product that still does everything I need, I bought, I own, and would simply like to use.

rather than add your post to old threads with outdated information, start your own thread

Especially take a look to @Rob_Cullen 's answer in this post.

Since this was branched, I don't know what the issue is.  Please give details.

@UsernamePerson123,

Once your activation limit is exceeded, you're stuck. The only option is to deactivate CS5x from the device(s) it was previously installed on to free-up activations.  If that's not possible, you'll need to find a modern replacement.  Neither Adobe nor this user-to-user forum can help you.

On the bright side, you got 14+ years of use from CS5x which was way beyond its 3-5 year shelf-life. 😊
