How do I uninstall Adobe CS6 Design Standard from my machine? Program is not listed in "Programs and Features".

naturescape_peopletecture Aug 8, 2014 7:46 AM

I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard Installed on my machine and I now have a new machine that I need to put this on. I am trying to uninstall it from my old machine because I need to have the "license" available. However, the adobe programs are not listed in my Windows 7 uninstall dialog box. I assume I uninstalled something on accident (Adobe Application Manager?) that is causing this issue.

I have the physical disc for the CS6 Design Standard. Please I need some help understanding how to uninstall the programs...I can still use them and they are simply icons on my desktop but not listed in my "Programs and Features" dialog box.

I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

to have the license available you just need to 'deactivate' on one of your two active installations. ie, open an adobe program and click help>deactivate.

now, if you want to uninstall (and there's no reason to leave installed a permanently deactivated softwarwe), reinstall (to install the uninstaller) and then use the uninstaller.

Awesome! Deactivating worked...I knew there was something - I just didn't know where to look. Thanks so much. As far as uninstalling the programs, what you said worked perfectly - a little backwords...but its my own fault!

Thanks and i'm soooooo happy that this only took 1/100th of the time that it took to transfer my AutoCAD License!
