De-activating and uninstalling/reinstalling CS6 & Production Premium

[Guest]

I need to completely wipe my Macbook because of some software problems... I have CS6 and Production Premium suites. Should I be deactivating my products before the wipe or just un-installing them? I will be re-installing the products onto the same computer once the wipe is completed. My products are physical copies, not subscriptions, and I only have one license. Thanks!

Hi lindshughes,

Thanks for contacting Adobe support.

It is always recommended to Deactivate the product before you uninstall it.
