Just downloaded Photoshop CS6 - 'Qualifying product could not be found on this computer.' HELP!

Okay, title says it all. I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 (an upgrade from Photoshop CS3 Extended).
I went to enter the Serial Number, and when I did, a box appeared telling me that the 'Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer'.
It goes on to say: 'To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number.'
The drop-down list under products includes: Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended,
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Where is Adobe Photoshop CS6...???
I am very concerned and would be very grateful to anyone who could help me with this problem.
Thank you.

Update: I decided to just re-enter the serial no. for Photoshop CS3 Extended and select the same option a couple more times, and suddenly it decided to work. To my great releif!
The only thing I can conclude is that the system just needed a few minutes to update itself (perhaps Adobe was waiting for the payment to be released by the bank?).
Either way, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my queary, Mylenium.

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

  • Trying to Reinstall CS6 Master "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer"

    I re-downloaded CS6 after cleaning my computer and when I enter the Serial Number I get this message "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer". From other posts I saw that someone contacted support but I can't find a number anywhere that I can call. Hoping someone can help me ASAP due to these programs being essential for my business.

    You can try contacting Support thru chat though I do not know if they are available on weekends.

  • Installed Xl Pro but get message Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer

    I just bought and installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, but when I open it, or access a PDF file, I get the error message "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."
    The list of products on the drop down list that comes with this message includes Adobe Acrobat XI Standard and Adobe Acrobat X Pro Macintosh, but doesn't include Adobe Pro XI for Windows. Selecting either of those, and using my serial number, fails, of course. As a result, I can't run my newly purchased program, or access any PDFs.
    Please tell me what to do.

    Chuck you have placed Order for Acrobat Upgrade if you don't have any previous version of Acrobat than you need to cancel this order and need to buy a full version.

  • I receive message "Serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer" when I try and install Acrobat XI Standard

    I have a PC with windows 7 installed.  Acrobat X reader and Acrobat XI Pro trial version run fine.  I have purchased Acrobat XI Standard and there is a serial number in my account.  Acrobat XI Standard installs fine but I receive the error message after putting my serial number in, "Serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."

    The message identifies that you have purchased an upgrade version of the applications and it is asking you to identify the previous version of that application that you are upgrading from and then to provide its serial number.
    If you did not intend to purchase an upgrade version then you probably need to cancel that and purchase it at full price.

  • I got my Photoshop CS6 to the Installer and once it has me put in my serial number, it is telling me "The serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.

    your cs6 serial number is an upgrade from a previous version.  after entering your cs6 serial number you should be prompted for the previous version's serial number.
    enter the correct number at the correct time and installation should proceed.

  • 'Serial Number you have provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer`?

    I am trying to install cs6 design and web premium on my new laptop via the DL content on the adobe website. I have downloaded the 2 correct files which automatically extract everything, but when I get to entering the serial number, it tells me that my serial number is valid, but there isn't a qualifying product found on my computer. The drop down tab of alternative products doesn't even feature Design and Web Premium. Can someone shed some light on the issue?
    Many Thanks

    Your serial number is for an upgrade (as opposed to a full version = full price serial number).
    An upgrade serial number must be supported by a serial number from an earlier qualifying version in order to prove to the CS6 installer that you are entitled to use the upgrade (cheaper) serial number.
    For CS6 "earlier qualifying" usually means CS5 or CS5.5. Those should be the versions listed in the dropdown menu.
    So do you have a CS5 or CS5.5 serial number?

  • "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer" when upgrading from LR5 to 6

    I just downloaded desktop version of LR6 (upgrade). I (unfortunately) have more then one email address associated with Adobe account. I "think" that the last purchase of 5 (upgrade from 4) might be associated with one of the other email addresses. I have atempted to logon to these other "accounts", and cannot. I have done "forgot password" but do not get the email from Adobe.
    Any suggestions would be most welcomed!

  • Product is not downloading. It says  product could not be found on this computer.

    I'm getting this message. I don't know whats going on. Please help!

    it means the serial number you used is for an upgrade of a previous version.  that previous is not found on your computer so you are then prompted for the previous version (select a product) and its serial number.

  • Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer

    can't figure out how to fix this problem

    you have an upgrade serial number.  after entering it you should select your qualifying (previous version) product.  you will then be prompted for the qualifying product's serial number.
    enter the correct number at the correct time and installation will proceed.

  • Serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.

    This is absurd.
    I wanted to purchase Adobe Acrobat, and somehow wound up downloading what is apparently an upgrade. So, now I'm getting this error message, and my ~$170 purchase is apparently useless at the moment. Someone please tell me I didn't waste my money, and I can actually USE the software I just purchased.
    Thanks in advance.

    It's not really for me to defend Adobe's web site, but I thought I'd share this screen shot
    It shows that, for me, it does default to upgrade, but before I can buy I have to select from I own a list of specific products. That's making a pretty definite statement before continuing. However, many people get confused about the difference between Acrobat and Adobe Reader. Also, when I tested before I found that the store behaved differently depending on your country, so you might have seen something entirely different. Good luck with Adobe!

  • SERIAL NUMBER YOU PROVIDED IS VALID BUT A QAULIFYING PRODUCT COULD NOT BE FOUND ON THIS COMPUTER

    I HAVE DOWNLOADED ACORBAT XI PRO AND WHEN I CLICK ON ICON ON MY DESK TOP THIS APPEARS
    SERIAL NUMBER YOU PROVIDED IS VALID BUT A QUALIFYING PRODUCT COULD NOT BE FOUND ON THIS COMPUTER
    HELP?

    Hi elizabethr49128712,
    Did you upgrade from a previous version of Acrobat?  The "qualifying product" is the older version that you owned before you purchased the upgrade.  It is what qualifies you to use the less expensive upgrade version. So you need to select the older version and provide its serial number to prove that you qualify for using the upgrade.
    Please see this document for more information:

    I purchased today the Adobe Acrobat Professional XI - Upgrade Upgrade - English -  Mac - Download.  Onceiget started it confirms that the my serial number isvalid butthat a qualifying product could not be found on my computer.   I do have Acrobat Professional Pro v8 from 2006 installed on my computer. Anyadviseon how  ican resolve this?

    after entering your xi pro serial number the installer checks your computer for that pro v8 product.  failing to find it you will be presented with a menu that allows you to select your qualifying product (pro v8) and you then will be prompted for its (pro v8) serial number.
    enter the correct number at the correct time and installation should proceed.

    Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

    Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade.  What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.
