Cretive Suite 5.5 license issue

creativa-suite-5.5-issue.pngI changed pc and it no longer recognizes the license. It tells me that it is already installed in 2 pc's, even though it was deactivated and uninstalled from the old pc. I have no way to figure out where the licenses were installed or deactivate them directly from adobe?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

if there are no activations, you have to options to remedy that problem.  however, if you're not 100% certain the previous installs were explicitly deactivated (and uninstalling doesn't matter), use the computers (if they exist and still run) with the activations and open an app > click help > deactivate. if you've already uninstalled the app before deactivating, but still have the computer, you can reinstall on that computer and then deactivate.

 

and you may get licensing info via the help here, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/volume-licensing-site.html#main-pars_text_1

Thanks for the reply, but I had already done the license deactivation in the old pc. When it didn't work in the new one I also uninstalled the software, but nothing changed. Now that I reinstalled the software in the old pc it has the same problem, I can't reassign the license anymore.

when trying to activate cs5.5 on your your old (or new) computer, carefully use the same adobe id/pass that you used to see your cs5.5 listed on your account.adobe.com page.

 

if that fails to be accepted again:

 

if you have an old os, your default browser must support tls 1.2, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/eol-tls-support.html

 

to test your default browser's tls you can use , https://clienttest.ssllabs.com:8443/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

 

otherwise, confirm that you can connect to the secure adobe servers by reading, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html

 

do you see both logos after clicking "link"?

 

if you can and still see a connection error try these steps, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/unable-to-reach-adobe-servers.html

 

if those fail, make sure you also tried the steps at, https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/common-network-connectivity-issues.html

 

if that fails, try https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/cannot-verify-subscription-offline-mode.html

 

if those all fail, white list the adobe network endpoints, https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/network-endpoints.html
