Photoshop asking for serial number when I have an active Creative Cloud subscription

I purchased a year subscription to Creative Cloud and when I launch Photoshop and click on license software, it shows my correct adobe id but then asks me for a serial number. How can I fix this? I am on Mac OS X v. 10.8.2

Hi Cujodvm,
If you had a beta version of Photoshop CS6 you would want to uninstall it and reinstall through the Adobe Application Manager. So long as it was installed through the Adobe Application Manager you should only have to click the "License this software" button and sign in with your Adobe ID.
There is an issue with Photoshop CS6 specifically happening right now in which the product reverts to trial after the 3rd or 4th launch, our engineering team will be addressing this soon with another product update. I'm not sure if that is related or not.
We have this document about the issue

  • I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers?

    I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers. How do I proceed?

    How did you download the software? For Creative Cloud, you should download from http://creative.adobe.com (which will install through an application called AAM). If you have a trial installation, and bought Creative Cloud, that could be the cause.

  • Why when I have an annual Creative Cloud subscription am I repeatedly asked to login to authenticate

    Why when I have an annual Creative Cloud subscription am I repeatedly asked to login to authenticate the subscription - sometimes twice, three times during a single product session usage? It's really out of control with Acrobat Pro where I am routinely asked to agree to a trial subscription. Why, I have a full subscription?? Almost everytime I open a PDF file, I am asked to sign-in - this is a huge time burner and completely ridiculous! This new subscription model is extremely frustrating to deal with day in and day out - please fix this mess.

    I have been having this same problem for the past few weeks.  I ran the subscription with no problems since August of 2013. I agree this is time consuming and frustrating. It has now started to do it with illustrator too.  I am not sure if it started when I updated. 
    I thought I solved the problem last weekend, when I removed an old trial version.  However, I didn't exit Photoshop because it was having this problem and I didn't want to deal with it. My computer updated and restarted and the problem is occuring again.

  • Aperture keeps asking for serial number when I try to open it.

    When I try to open Aperture it asks for a serial nummber. I plug iin the serial number and it asks for the original version software number. I plug in that serail number but it will not accept it even though I have checked and it it the correct number.

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • I had been getting prompts to buy Acrobat XI Pro when I have a full Creative Cloud subscription

    I had been getting windows popping up when I would open a pdf file in Acrobat that I need to purchase it when I have been paying approximately $54 a month for Creative Cloud! I would just close out the window because I have a Creative Cloud subscription that covers Acrobat. Now I cannot even open a pdf file at all because I got the message that my trial period of Acrobat has run out!!!
    How can I fix this??

    Hi Chris,
    On the trial period screen of Acrobat, please select 'License this software' and use your Adobe ID to license it.
    The subscription is linked to your Adobe ID.
    Please let me know if it worked for you or not.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • Photoshop asks for serial number even when I sign in with my Adobe ID

    I have a Creative Cloud membership and I have installed Photoshop and Illustrator. Illustrator works fine, but when I run Photoshop it asks me to license the software. I sign in with my Adobe ID, but then it tells me to enter a serial number. I've tried reinstalling etc, it does not help.

    Having International English-only as an option is a business/legal requirement for Europe.
    I understand the frustration but it is difficult. If you sign up as a Free Trial user (so you have not yet paid for International English) which language should we default to? We default to the language of the operating system. Perhaps not perfect but a choice is made. And this works over 99% of the time, except for multi-lingual users whose OS is not set to English and choose International English-only. And yes I empathize as someone who can work fluently on both English and Japanese systems.
    Any more feedback you have on how you would suggest to improve things please let us know. I will make sure that the feedback reaches the correct teams here.

  • I can't find my serial number. I have a downloaded Creative Cloud Suite.

    I had some computer issues and I need to re-install the Creative Cloud. The folks at Adobe re-installed the programs on my computer, but didn't install a full version on my computer, so I am re-assessing my subscription which has been paid for, and I need to find my serial number to re-install the full version of my programs, but I can't find it for the life of me. Any help, please!?!

  • Why does Premiere pro locks out effect and media render when I have an active creative cloud account?

    PP was operating correctly with full effects.  Relaunched today with active cc acct confirmed and effects got locked out just like I have a trial version.  Any suggestions.  We relaunched PP several times with the same result.

    If Premiere is acting weird restart computer. Hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere until welcome screen.
    See if that will help.

    Open Photoshop and use menu Help it should show tha its activated because there will be a menu item Sign Out. If it is Sign In, Sign in  using the account that has the subscription the one you used above to Activate Photoshop.

  • Encore CS6 is asking for a Serial Number when I have Creative Cloud

    I have the same problem identified here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1024884
    I am running Windows 7 on a new Dell Vostro, have a subscription to Creative Cloud, have never installed a trial version of the software, and recently installed Premier Pro. The first time I try to run Encore, I get the two screens shown in that thread and repeated here:
    "Adobe Encore CS6 cannot run in trial mode. Please relaunch the application and provide a valid serial number."
    "Adobe Premier Pro. Provide a serial number."
    I had previously got the problem identified here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/missing-sequence-presets.html
    Following the recommendations fixed the problem, but still Encore has the same issue.
    When I access this URL:
    https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/
    I get the message:
    "Congratulations! You have successfully connected to Adobe License Management Server."
    It appears this is a common problem, but there does not seem to be a common solution. For example, here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4677807
    and
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4589055
    I checked and have no "Hosts" file.
    Further, here:

    I have found that waiting or rebooting the PC does not fix the problem.
    Lastly, I tried that proposed here:
    http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2012/08/help-photoshop-cs6-asks-for-serial-number-after-si gning-up-for-creative-cloud/
    And that did not work either.
    Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro all work fine.
    So, what is the solution?
    Update, 2012-11-06. I spent 30 minutes on a chat session with Adobe support. The support person told me emphatically that Encore is not part of Creative Cloud and can be obtained only by buying Premiere Pro and not from the Creative Cloud subscription. To prove the point, the support person pointed me to this page:
    https://creative.adobe.com/apps
    Now on that page, Adobe has done something clever and stupid. If you view the page with XP (for example), it does not show Premier Pro because Premiere Pro works only on a 64 bit OS. If you view the same page under Windows 7 it does show Premiere Pro. I think it would be better if Adobe showed the application (possibly greyed out) with a note that it cannot be installed on the PC that is viewing the page. Well, I was having the chat on my laptop (running XP) and I guess the support person was also on XP so the case was proved!
    But I sent him a link to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools.html
    However, the support person told me I needed to contact sales. I called them and asked the support guy to wait on the chat session until I had an answer. The lady in sales said that Encore is definitely included in Creative Cloud. But as I was about to relay that information to the support person, he ended the chat session!
    The pleasant lady in sales said she would transfer me to phone technical support. I was on hold for 60 minutes and had to quit to go and do a task.
    Perhaps this will be resolved and I shall update this thread ...

    I got help with this problem.
    You only need to sign out from the creative cloud. Go to preference, sign out. Open Premiere Pro CC, help sign out.
    Then re-open premiere pro cc and sign back in, and you should now be able to open encore as well!
    Worked for me!

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.
