Activate the software

If you have a single‑user retail license for your Adobe software, you will be asked to activate your software; this is a simple, anonymous process that you must complete within 30 days of starting the software.

For more information on product activation, see the Read Me file on your installation DVD, or visit the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/go/activation.

  1. If the Activation dialog box isn’t already open, choose Help > Activate.
  2. Follow the on‑screen instructions.
Note: If you want to install the software on a different computer, you must first deactivate it on your computer. Choose Help > Deactivate.
