web).
Uninstalling your software

2. Do one of the following:

Authenticate as an administrator, then select Remove Components and follow
the on-screen instructions.
Purchase from a trial
Note: If you decide to purchase a different product than you installed for the trial, you may need to
uninstall and reinstall the software. For example, if you install a trial of Adobe®Creative Suite®3
Design Premium, but you decide to purchase only Adobe®Illustrator®, you will need to uninstall
the trial version of the Suite before installing the standalone version of Illustrator that you
purchased. For more detailed information, visit www.adobe.com/go/tbinfo.
Volume licensing customers cannot purchase from a trial directly. After evaluating a Creative
Suite 4 product, you must uninstall the trial and install the product using the volume licensing
media and serial number. Refer to the “Uninstall your software” section of this document for
instructions. Please contact your reseller or authorized Adobe licensing center to place an order
for a volume license. To find a reseller in your area, go to
http://partners.adobe.com/resellerfinder/na/reseller.jsp.
Electronic licensing
Adobe software may include electronic license (e-license) management technology to ensure
compliance with the Product License Agreement. When present, this technology will verify the
license of your product after you start it for the first time.
This verification process does not collect, transmit, or use any personally identifiable information.
To learn more, visit the Adobe web site at http://www.adobe.com/go/activation.
Note: If you want to install the product on a different computer, you must first deactivate the
software on your computer. To deactivate, choose Help > Deactivate.
