Removing creative suite cs6 licence without program / computer

New Here ,
Nov 20, 2025 Nov 20, 2025

I have a problem which adobe "help" was unable to help me with. I need to get Creative Suite CS6 licence deactivated, but I don't have access to the computer where it was installed. How can I do this? Is it possible?

 

Creative Suite CS6 can be installed in maximum of two devices and I had the product installed to my laptop and also to my desk computer.

 

But I just bought a new computer and I installed this creative suite CS6 successfully to it - but only then I realised that I forgot to deactivate the program from my old computer. I can no longer do that, since some part from the old computer were used to my new one.

 

Now I can't use the creative suite cs6 before I deactivate it from my old computer - which doesn't exist anymore. Is there anyway to do this?

 

This is really important tool for me so I would be very very thankful for all help with this.

no, it's no longer possible to recover activations when computers with current activations aren't able to be used.

 

there's no work-around.

My friend just told me that he could try to temporary install some parts back to my computer so I could open it again and go and deactivate the programs.  It would be quite job for him, so I'm just wondering that before he gets to the job...  - I just read that adobe doesn't keep count on activations anymore, does that mean that even if I get it deactivated, I can't activate it on my new computer. Or what? I don't understand this...

adobe does keep track of cs6 activations/deactivations.

 

but that old computer will have some hurdles to overcome including 

 

no hardware changes since activation 

updated security to convey deactivation to adobe

ok, thank you for this information. I'll probably have to look for alternative programs then. I can't afford to pay adobe monthly. 😞
