Activate and Deactivate Adobe apps activate.adobe.com : Adobe Software Phone Activation

Learn how to sign in to your Adobe apps to activate them. Also learn how to sign out of your Adobe apps to deactivate them and then use them on a new computer.

Activation validates your software license by contacting Adobe servers periodically. The frequency depends on the app and your plan.

Deactivation disconnects your app from your computer. You can then activate the apps on another computer or later reactivate them on the same computer.

How do I activate an app?

  • Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

  • Open the app that you want to activate.

  • If prompted, sign in. Your app is now activated. Otherwise, choose one of the following options from the Help menu depending on your app:

                      Help Sign in

    Sign in

                    Help > Activate

    Sign in

    If you see Sign Out in the menu option, it means you are already signed in.

Then install the apps on the new computer and follow the onscreen instructions.
