I have Adobe CS3 on a PC that I wish to decommision and want to take Adobe CS3 off it to install on another PC. I tried to run the Deactivate process under Photohop but this failed with an error 194:1<br />
<br />
I tried Adobe Support pages and they are less than helpful and have no reference to the error at all.<br />
<br />
I can ping the activate.adobe.com server from the PC on which I want to deactivte Photoshop.
