How to Uninstall an Incorrect Version of Trapcode Suite and Restore Your Activation

Are you having trouble activating your Trapcode Suite serial number because you installed a newer version by mistake? Don't worry, this is a common issue that can be easily resolved. In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to uninstall the incorrect version and get back to using your licensed software.

To start, open the Maxon App and navigate to the pulldown menu. From here, select 'Uninstall' from the options listed. This will bring up a list of installed software on your system, including Trapcode Suite.

Find the version of Trapcode Suite that you want to uninstall - in this case, it's likely that you have v5 installed instead of the correct v14 (or whichever version you are licensed for). Click the ... icon next to the software listing to initiate the uninstallation process.

Before installing a newer version of Trapcode Suite, make sure you don't already have an active license for that version. In the Maxon App, the most recent versions are listed, so if you don't have a license for that particular version, it's best not to install it. For example, if you're licensed for Trapcode Suite 14, make sure that's the version you installed.

First, verify that you have the incorrect version installed by checking the software listing in the Maxon App. If you find that you've inadvertently installed a newer version (like v5), don't worry - we can fix this.

In some cases, if you bought Trapcode Particular v4 and recently reinstalled it from the original installer email, you may no longer be able to activate your serial number due to the incorrect installation. If this is your situation, follow the steps above to uninstall the newer version (v5) and then reinstall the correct version (v4).

By following these simple steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and get back to using your licensed copy of Trapcode Suite. Remember to always check the software listing in the Maxon App before installing a new version to ensure that you're not installing something you're not licensed for.
