CS 6 installation problem

Hi everyone!

I have my old CS6 Production Premium which I wanted to reinstall after a hard drive failure (on the same computer). After entering product key I received a message that it's no longer valid.

Could it be that not disactivating the previous installation (on the broken hd) "kept" my licence active (I had part of the CS6 also installed on another computer, so two possible licences were used)?

Is there any way to fix it now?

 

Many thanks to whoever can help!

Hi! 

Thanks a lot for your help. However I have trouble finding the chat - I cannot see the icon you described anywhere. Is it possible it moved somewhere or was removed for good? 

Is there any oter way to contact the support (I myself haven't found any).

Once you've signed in, can you see this Chat icon at the bottom RHS of the screen?

If not, can you post a screenshot of what you do see?

Is your browser blocking popups?

What time of day are you trying? Where are you located?

I get the icon.

Alternately, phone customer service M-F during normal business hours and ask for an activation count reset and nothing more.
