Purchased serial number for iWork 08 does not work

Hi--I recently downloaded the trial version of 08, then went and purchased the serial number once it ran out. The serial number is rejected when i try to use it--just says it's invalid. in the email i got with the serial number, the link showing how to use it leads me to an upgrade from 06 to 08. But I have never had 06. Very puzzled--have been onto Apple for telephone support but they can't solve it. Any clues? Thanks

  • Purchased serial number for iWork 08

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro with Leopard. I tried to start Pages '08 but it is asking for a purchased serial number. Where do I look for this number among all the disks and manuals that came with the computer?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    iWork comes as a demo version with your computer. Once the demo expires you have to purchase it to keep it working.
    This is what came on your MacBook Pro. This is from the sale page.

  • My serial number for photoshop 7 will not work if I try to install in vista//????

    i am trying to sinstall photoshop version 7 to Vista.  The serial number does not seem to be anthing close to what it needs to install.
    Any help.

    >does it not work on vista at all??   i can tbelieve that
    Why not? Vista is a MAJOR change from what was used when P7 was written
    Both Microsoft AND Apple (ala Snow Leopard OS) are known to break things with each new version of their operating system software
    Even within Microsoft, the Office 97 I use with WinXP does not work with Vista or Windows 7
    When I build a 64bit computer next year and start using Win7 64bit, I will have to buy a new MS Office and all new Adobe CS5 software

  • Recovery Stick purchased from HP for Spectre 13, does not work

    After foolishly trying the evaluation edition of Windows 10 on my Spectre 13 Ultrabook, I could not update to full version, so I purchased recover USB stick from HP. Booting from it per instruction, it partitions, installs files, then reboots to "Welcome Recovery Manager" page to start the partition and file installation process.  When I cancel the re-re-reinstall, and try to boot from the supposedly recovered hard drive, it gives me an error, asks for recovery media, which then starts the same process.  Am about to call this a total loss and switch back to Apple. 

    I don't cancel installation. It runs and runs and runs from boot up to install to boot up to install running into an error. A call to HP help was unhelpful. They insisted on having me mail in the computer for a wipe for 400 bucks, like an upsell scam.
    I have since loaded Ubuntu and it is great, but need Office, so I I got a MacBook. Very happy. Will never purchase HP again. I had a fan since 1982 when I spent most of my summer lawn mowing money on an HP 15c calculator. Boo.

  • Where can I purchase the serial number for Iworks, or purchase Pages for OSX 4.11? Thanks very much force for your help! Andrea

    Hi,
    Where can I purchase the serial number for Iworks, or purchase and download Pages for OSX 4.11?
    Thanks so much in advance for your help!
    Andrea

    You can search Google, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist to find an old version of iWork for a PPC Mac. Probably needs to be iWork 6 or earlier.

  • Cannot submit serial number for iwork 06

    Inactive submit button for serial number for iwork 06. the button is "ghosted" grey and does not respond

    larry,
    There's really only one reason the button would stay
    gray, and that's if the serial number you've entered
    is invalid. Most of the serial number-entering
    problems were with iWork '05, so I'm surprised to
    hear of a problem with '06. My suggestion:
    carefully reenter the number, making sure you don't
    confuse zeros with capital ohs- or the number 1 with
    a small L. If you're absolutely certain you've
    entered the number correctly, and it still won't
    cooperate, you may need to call Apple tech support.
    We've heard of cases where the serial number was
    just plain defective. Sorry I can't be more help.
    -Dennis
    Thanks. I've re-entered the number many times and the problem persists. I think the problem is the button window itself . Normally the submit button is active but since I upgraded my operating system to Tiger I have notice a similar problem in Quicken download. Is it a glitch in the upgrade?

  • CS4 Upgrade, the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected

    I have a valid CS2 premium license and have installed CS4 upgrade to a new machine but get the dreaded error "the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected" Now I got this error when I originally installed in 2009, back then I could call customer service and get the problem resolved but now when I phone I get an automated message saying phone support is not available for CS4? Does anyone know of a work around or a UK number where I can get this resolved? Any help would be appreciated.

  • HT3396 how to buy serial number for iwork

    how to buy serial number for iwork

    I'm sure the problem is that you have the trial of iWork '09 installed. It's a "giitch" in the installer code that Apple has not fixed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. It rejects the disc. Problem after reinstall of backup from hdd.

    My dvd slot for imac10,1 does not work. I had a new harddrive installed in November and the MacStore installed my backups from an external harddrive. I do not use it other than to upload programs, so I have not tried using it until tax season, but it rejects the disc. The ata file indicates no dvd firmware, but the serial-ata does indicate firmware for a dvdrw. What might I do about this to bring the dvd back, least expensive to most?

    Yesterday I started having the same problem. Can read disc (play movies and music) but blank disk are ejected or idvd cannot see the blank disk. I have a almost 12 month old 27" i7 imac.
