CS5 moving to new computer issue
I know CS5 is no longer supported, but having an issue helping a client. 5-8 years they got a new laptop and desktop and I was able to move their CS5 over by deactiving on both old computers and then installing on the new using the original CD and serial number. They just got a new laptop and desktop again but now that same process is not working. On the old laptop, I was able to click Deactivate and it went through and deactivated. If I try to open it again, it asks for a serial key. On the new laptop, I was able to install CS5 fine. I entered the serial key and got green check and all seemed good. But when closing and then running it again, I'm now getting a message that its still activated on two computers, even though I did deactivate on the old laptop. Reading through some forum posts and reddit, I see mixed signals if what I'm trying to do is still viable or are we now past the point of no return in trying to still be able to move CS5 to a new computer.
