unable to deactivate Adobe CS6

Hi there,

 

I reinstalled windows earlier today on the same PC and forgot to deactivate CS6, so now I am out of licenses. I have scoured the internet and found that the only way to deactivate a license is through Adobe CS6 or by contactin adobe. However, when I attempt to go to the admin panel or open the chat app, I am told I am not the system administrator. This version of adobe CS6 IS MY version, so I'm not sure why this is happening.

 

I've scoured google and adobe's website and they all point to the above solutions, which means I have no way of deactivating previous accounts.


Any help would be appreciated,

 

Thanks,

Cameron

I forgot to note that in my adobe profile, under "manage", nothing shows up for my activated devices, so I am unable to "deactivate" from there as well.

The servers for that old version are likely long gone. As JJ suggestes, you'll need Adobe to do this on their end.

I am unable to chat with Adobe as I mentioned before - when I click chat I am told that the system admin must do it, despite the fact that I am the system admin. I have attached a screenshot to show what I see.
