CS6 is constantly asking me to register even though I already have?

Hi guys,
Basiclly I'm having issues with my CS6 that I installed a few months back.
I got a student verison of CS6 installed it and sent off for the serail number like you do, once I had got my serial number I went to use it and it seemed to work fine the first few times I opened any of the CS programs but it soon started asking for my serail number again and again, like it was still in the trail version, I contacted adobe support who were helpful and suggested I open it in admin and see if that works, which it did for a short period of time.
But I am now back to square one when it asks for my serail number every time I try to use it, it works once I've entered the number in but it's getting annoying having to input that code mulituple times a day.
I was hoping some one would be able to shed some light on this matter for me.
Thanks a bunch.
SB.

Hi swarlsbronson,
When you enter the serial number your system tries to connect to the Adobe activation server and because of any reason if your system is not able to connect then you could have this problem.
I think you should check the hosts file.
Location of Hosts file
In Mac--->Open Finder window --->click on Go on the top --->click on 'Go to folder' --->Type '/etc' ----> open 'hosts' using Textedit.
In Windows ---> C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts Open it with Notepad
In the hosts file if you see any Adobe entry just delete that entry and then save it.
Once all this is done you can launch the product ---> enter the serial number.
Close the program and reopen it and check if it asks for the serial number again or not.
Thanks
Kapil

    Howdy there 15itechnic,
    It sounds like you are getting a prompt when trying to use iTunes to sync an app to your iPod that you need to authorize your computer but it already is. I would next verify that the app in question was purchased with the same Apple ID as the one that you have iTunes authorized.  The following article will help you find the Account Name. Open iTunes and go to the Apps section under Library in the Sidebar.
    Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1920
    Open iTunes
    Highlight one of the items you have purchased (You can find your purchases in your Purchases playlist).
    Choose File > Get Info.
    Click the Summary tab.
    The Account Name area will list the account used to purchase the item. Unless you have changed accounts, this is your iTunes Store account name.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    After I loaded Mac OS lion, it won't let me install my Sierra Wireless telstra. It keeps telling me to install it even though i already have. help please?

    Check for new 64 bit software for the modem, other wise you I'll probably have to boot your Mac in 32 bit mode first.. And then every time you want to go online.
    I have the Sierra wireless 306 and have their 64 bit lion software installed. Works well.
    Best.

  • Keeps trying to install build 10041 even though I already have it

    My problem is in the title: Windows keeps trying to install flb impressive 10041 core even though I already have it.
    Any help? Thanks!

    Hi,
    That's to say, your current Windows 10 already was upgraded to 10041 edition, isn't it?
    You can access to the Registry path below and modify the valume: ThresholdOptedin, REG_DWORD, 0
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
    If problem persists, try to rename Applicability to Applicability.old
    for test

  • My computer keeps telling me to download Flash Player even though I already have.

    Why does my computer keep telling me to download the latest version of Flash Player even though I have downloaded it multiple times.  Am I forgetting to do something?

    Its seems to be a browser specific issue. Try a different browser like chrome or firefox, it should work.
    For fixing IE or Safari, lets follow below suggestions :
    Run the Flash Player Uninstaller as applicable for your machine(i.e.Windows or MAC) and remove flash player.
    For MAC : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
    For Windows : http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Restart the machine.
    Download and Re-install Flash Player.
    Restart the browser and check.

  • Keeps asking me to update to flash 10 everytime I restart my computer even though I already have.

    Whenever I try to view anything with flash it says I haveto update to the latest version(which I did) but it doesn't seem to want to stick to the browser. So in order to get any flash to work I have to close FF4 run the Flash installer again then reopen FF.. '''then it works for a bit '''and then stops working and asks again. I tried this link http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html but the flash wont work so what do I do?

    look like you'd better ask this at adobe's official support pages. well, use windows search, search getflash.exe, and rename it. and be careful, maybe there are not only one getflash.exe in your system. rename them all.

  • Cant download itunes 7 even though i already have itunes and emac ??

    Running OS X 10.3.9 on emac which it asks for but itunes 7 still wont download?? Any advice please?

    After struggling on it for few hours, I managed to find out how to download iTunes7 for my new Ipod!
    It's very easy and simple!
    So to sum up:
    1. You quit the installer and iTunes
    2. You go on your finder: Macintosh HD / Library / Receipts /
    3. Drag the following files to the Trash:
    iTunes.pkg
    iTunesX.pkg (where X is a version number)
    4. Open the iTunes installer again and proceed with the installation.
    ENJOY!!!

    The prompt that asks to buy will have an option of " license this software" at the bottom, click at that , it will ask you to sign with your Adobe ID.
    Or you can sign out & sign in back to CC desktop to activate.

  • When I start Firefox by clicking on a link in e-mail or another document, Firefox starts downloading an update, even though I already have 4.0.1 up to date.

    When Firefox is not started and I click on a link in an e-mail document, as it starts up, Firefox acts like I need an update and starts downloading an update. After "updating" several times, I verified that I have 4.0.1 and it is up to date, but this continues to happen every time Firefox starts up as the default browser.

  • I have an Apple ID, a game centre account and an app but when I try to log into FaceTime or iMessage it says I need to verify my email address even though I already have. Why?

    Please help me!!

    I dunno if this will work for you but I had the same issue today and had to redo what I did about two weeks ago.
    I went to "Settings" then to "General" and scrolled all the way done to "Reset"
    I didnt do a reset that erased data, just the ipad settings.
    I had to re-enter all my wifi stuff but after trying to log back into facetime it worked fine.
    It's a pain in the arse (second time I've had to do this in a couple of weeks) but it worked for me, Good Luck

  • When I try to download OS X Lion my Macbook says that I need at least 2 GB of memory even though I already have it

    My MacBook says I have 17.41 GB available but the Mac App Store will not let me dowload OS X Lion. It says "We could not complete your purchase. Mac OS X 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memory."
    What does this mean? This is confusing me.

    The warning is in regard to RAM memory not space on your hard drive. Your computer needs 2 GBs of RAM for Lion. You will need to upgrade your RAM to at least 2 GBs in order to use Lion. I suggest more if the computer can accommodate more than 2 GBs.
