I have Adobe CS4 which I am trying to deactivate on my current macbook pro so I can reinstall on a new one. I get the message "Unable to Connect"

Please advise.

Try contacting Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you only ever had one installation activated, you still have one available before you need to contact them though.

Chat support - For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

Tim it is not currently possible to deactivate Creative Suite 4.  Do you receive any activation error messages when you install Creative Suite 4 on the new MacBook Pro?

Why exactly is it not possible? I'm trying to deactive CS4 right now, and all I get is "Unable To Connect..."
