Activity Forums Adobe Photoshop Uninstall vs. Reinstall for CS4

  • Uninstall vs. Reinstall for CS4

    Posted by Hunter Hempen on May 14, 2010 at 4:36 pm

    I currently need to uninstall Photoshop from my hard drive to make more space temporarily. I bought the CS4 Production Suite Premium and am concerned that once I uninstall just Photoshop, I will not be able to re-install in the near future when I need it again…perhaps due to some kind of register-only-once feature that Adobe does to prevent installing on multiple PCs. Not sure if that’s true or not.
    Anybody know for sure, or done this before?
    Thanks,
    Huntaaa

    If you had only installed photoshop, you could inactivate the registration (HELP-DEACTIVATE), uninstall photoshop and install it on any other computer you like. But since you have installed the Production Suite Premium, it will probably inactivate the whole suite. I would expect uninstalling photoshop without deactivating would allow you to reinstall it later on the same computer.

    But I have never tried this….

    And if you have an educational copy of the suite, different rules may apply.
