Moving Adobe Products from one PC to another
-
What is the proper way to deactive Adobe products for reactivation on another PC?
Also, I am unsure of the product keys so I would like to retrieve them. Any body have a free tool that they recommend for this?
I am moving:
Acrobat Pro 11
Dreamweaver CS6
Page Maker 7
Photoshop CS6 -

Photoshop CS6I believe adobe stores the key in the registry but it might be encrypted ( HKLM > Software > Adobe product folder > Registration). assuming this isn't a volume licenses (which doesn't require activation over the internet) You need to deactivate the install. You go in the programs and I believe it's under help or similar and click Deactivate.

On my Dreamweaver CS5.5, go to Help and there is a Deactivate Option. I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro but I can't find the deactivate option on that just yet...

Deactivation:
You can also see the Serial number under help-> System info but if you install from a packaged product it won't be correct.
This program did find the serial numbers in HKLM though http://www.klinzmann.name/licensecrawler_download.htm

Belarc used to find Adobe serials too. I know it doesn't seem to work with Windows keys anymore but Adobe I believe it still works with.

I hate that app. But i know a guy who installs it on everything.
It's a great program. It used to be a lot better though...

The user is no longer with the company so right now I am in the process of getting logged in to her Adobe account.
