I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4

    I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4 however even though you can download it from this site, there is no option to buy.  Unfortunately I can't upgrade my computer's operating system beyond OSX 10.6.8 even though it's an intel duo so there's no point me getting Lightroom 5. 
    There doesn't seem to be an option to contact anyone at Adobe to see if there is an option to buy.  Each time I attempt to do so I am directed to the forum, so it looks like my only option may be to use another app.  Maybe capture one's the way forward

    Adobe does not sell Lightroom 4 any longer.

  • How can I get the serial number for CS6 - I did not register it on my adobe account and I don't have the invoice/email from Aug 2012 nor the box anymore. I need the number to move software to a new computer.

    I am trying to move Indesign CS6 to a new computer.
    To do this I need the serial number of the license.
    It seems I did not register the number on my Adobe account as nothing is there.
    I bought the software in August 2012 - and no longer have the invoice.
    i think we got the software by box but am not sure.
    Please help!

    Hello Karen,
    in this case you should search for Adobe's staff members by writing a personal message. They can often help better than we, we the users like you. Please have a look in the forum to persons with this icon under their avatar:

  • I moved CS4 Standard to new Win 8.1 laptop. It won't recognize serial number.

    I deactivated and uninstalled CS4 Standard from an old laptop. I tried to install it on a new win 8.1 laptop using an install folder (the new laptop doesn't have a dvd drive), but it wouldn't recognize the serial number. It installed ok as a trial, but this isn't a permanent solution.
    What can I do to activate it properly with my serial number?

    Same exact thing happened to me (with Adobe trying to sell me CS6)...   I have Master Collection CS5, and installed it on a new PC running Win8.1.   All my Licenses were good and it installed, but now it won't upgrade.   I just got done chatting with Adobe and they said that CS5 will not update on windows 8, and I will have problems with it.... 
    Also - Adobe does track how many times a License is being used.  They only allow 3 registrations of any license before it will no longer install.  You have to make sure you deactivate Adobe on any computer you're not using in order to free up a license.   If you computer crashes and you can't deactivate Adobe, you can call them and they will usually add a license (if you've used up all 3 of your licenses) to allow you to reinstall it.  (I know, as I have had both happen to me over the years).

  • Everytime i search and select a site i get redirected while i can go directly to the site on Explorer, also some bookmarked sites will not open on Firefox, even though there were saved there but I can open them in Explorer. Help I like Firefox.

    there are too many to list. when I google a site and click on it, most times I get redirected. is this a maleware issue? it seems to work fine with Explorer. for example I can open adam4adam.com in Explorer but not with Firefox.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro?  I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

    Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

    Two options:
    Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
    Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.  http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Why is the web page not saving in bookmarks even though I am clicking the "star" icon?

    I click the "star" to save to bookmarks. I then go to the icon to sort the book marks. Nothing is there. I have followed all instructions. This is very frustrating.

    The star turns blue and floats to the suitcase. Nothing appears in the unsorted bookmark area. It keeps saying "empty". Really stinks. Explorer never had this issue.

  • My itouch will not connect with airport even though I am entering the correct password

    I have not had any problems with my Apple airport modem until today.  When I went to use my I touch that I have been using for at least one year on the airport would not connect and my password that I have been using all along will not work.  Any suggestions?

    With some routers, during that first set up it asks you for the password, but what it really wants is the full security code, not the password.    I have seen this many times.  Go back to the router and get full code. It is usually a
    Ong meaningless string.  If you cannot find it, reset the router to make it generate a new one.  When you trymto join the network on the pad, use that and not the password.   See if that helps.
    By the way, once you join, it will remember, and you will not need the string again unless you do a full restore or 'forget' the network.

    Try a reset on the device. This will have no affect on your data. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.
