Any way to deactive CS6 License so I can reactivate on another machine?

[Dangar89]

Lost Photoshop CS6 due to SSD wipe.. 

from what I ve read however, I would have to deactivate Photoshop on my old SSD (which I tried to recover the files off of, but could not), so that I won't get the error message of 'invalid license' if I try to reinstall on my new device. Is there any solution to this?

Thanks for any advice, cheers.

@Dangar89 you're allowed 2 activations for CS6, so in theory if you have only activated it once, you should be able to activate it again.

Considering CS6 was released in 2012 it's more than likely you have activated more than once.

Adobe no longer reset activation counts, so if it doesn't work you're out of luck I'm afraid.

I see, yes that would ve been my 3nd activation, didn't know I would have had to deactivate it, too bad it can't be done via my account, anyway thanks for the quick reply!

Don't you love Adobe, NOT.  They can no longer make any money on Photoshop so they're trying to force the ones with perpetual licenses to rent their software. This shows corporate greed at its best.

they have the ability to DE activate the old programs, but when you try to RE activate it, they say the don't have the computer ability any more... (so how do they have the aility to DEactivate still )
