Invalid serial number (fixed) and incredibly slow uploads

I have a G4 Mac Mini running OS X Server 10.5. It's been working for a long time. I just moved and suddenly it said invalid serial number. I saw Airport was on and turned it off and that problem seems resolved (how did it start??). Now, I have another problem. I used to move files through the server no problem. No, uploads max out at 50KB/sec. It doesn't matter if I connect via wireless or wired. What could cause this? All the disks check out. I've resorted to moving files onto the server with a portable external hard drive. Any help at all would be appreciated.
I also can't update the server. It stalls on restart or shutdown, every single time. Suggestions?
I've searched and not found any good matches for my issues.

When you enter the serial number there are usually six entry boxes where you enter just the numbers from the serial number, four numbers per box.

I cannot register photoshop cs4?! Getting invalid serial number message and I've owned this product since 2010. Also shows in my products on the adobe website.

Title says it all, and I can actually speak to a person at Adobe to get this cleared up! I unregistered the photoshop before uninstalling Web premium.

There is only that one number as far as I know. You need to get someone there to help Adobe Support is far from what it should be. Having to use Adobe support has never been easy or pleasant. However they have help me activate Photoshop after a couple disk crashes for there is no way for users to deactivate versions of Photoshop activated on the crashed disk.
I notice your serial is for the Web Premium suite not just Photoshop CS4. Are you installing the suite or just Photoshop CS4 I have only installed Photoshop myself. I do not know if there is a difference in installer between Stand alone Photoshop CS4 the Suite Photoshop CS4.
There surly is a difference in size of the downloads,

PSE11/Pre 11 - invalid serial number

photoshop elements 11 and premiere elements 11 only lets me enter 29 of the 30 digit serial numnber and then tells me invalid serial number - have and "Activated" slip from Office Max that says is Activated with this 30 digit number

From what you wrote, it would appear that you have purchased download files from Adobe for Premiere Elements 11 and a serial number specific to that purchase. At that time, to what computer operating system did you download and install that purchased download and its serial number?
What are you dealing with...activation of a Premiere Elements 11 program that was deactivated and left installed on your computer? Or some other scenario? Please explain.
I would like to rule out that you are somehow trying to use a Premiere Elements 11 Windows serial number in a Premiere Elements 11 Mac setup or the other way around.
Typically Adobe does not support anything put the current version 12. But, it might might the exception for Activation issues, not sure in this case. To find out, click on the following link, and, when it opens, navigate to the section on "Serial Number and Redemption Codes". It looks like the paths to Adobe Chat have shifted, and I need to figure out what it has done. But, for now, I think the path indicated should bring answers.

Please let us know the outcome.

InDesign 3.0.1 - Invalid serial number

I'm trying to install InDesign 3.0.1 on my laptop (my desktop has it, I use it all of the time, but its about to die). I'm trying to install it on my laptop, but I am getting an invalid Serial Number error, and its not letting me proceed. HELP! This is legit software, yes I know its old, but how do I install if it won't accept the serial number?

First make sure you are using the serial number for the software and not for some other element.

How to fix invalid serial number on adobe product?

Purchased Creative Suite 6 Design Standard discs. Reistered product, got serial number, inserted discs, rejected for invalid serial number.
Have double checked everything.
Called Customer Support - couldn't help.
Online chat, told me they were technical problems and to try again in 7 hours.
Try what in 7 hours? I can't register again. It won't install, the number gets rejected as invalid.
Can Abode help me clear this up?

Hi there,
If the serial number is correct, please copy the files from the disk to your local computer and then run those files. It should fix the problem,
If still faces the problem then manually download the product from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html and then try installation.
Also refer to this link if all of the above doesn't work http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-valid-product.html

hi joedcomandante,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Just to verify, did you get the Invalid Serial Number and Product Name issue out of the box or you got this after you sent the unit for service?
Usually, when the motherboard is replaced, the Serial Number and Product Name is flashed into the BIOS and the EC (Embedded Controller) is updated. If you got the issue after sending the unit for service, I recommend you contact lenovo and report your findings as these information needs to be reflashed into the system.
As for the BSOD, were you able to get the exact error code?

I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

Acrobat 8 - switch hw and os from win xp to win 8.1 - installation says 'invalid serial number' - although I am very sure, it is :o)

Hi folks,
I am switching from my former pc (win XP) to a new one (Win 8.1).
As I wanted to move my acrobat 8 installation to the new computer, I did the following right now:
- I deactivated the license (from within acrobat 8) on the old computer
- I uninstalled acrobat 8 on the old computer and restarted it
- I downloaded acrobat 8 from the adobe website on the new computer
- I startet the installation, which asks for the serial number
- I logged in to my acrobat-account and found my serialnumber there
- I checked this serial number with my paper-copies and invoice (bought ion 2007): it's allright
- I typed in the serialnumber / I copied it in from the account / I copied it from the email I recieved in 2007 / I checked it twice and more:
The installation-tool says 'invalid serial number' - although I am very sure, it's the right one.
I cant go further.
What is going wrong or am I doing wrong?
thanx for your help

Hi crunchycrisp,
First of all i wont suggest you to install Acrobat 8 on windows 8. This version of application has never been tested on Windows 8.
You may upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat.
