Serial number now INVALID

I have been using the CS2 I downloaded free off Adobe a year ago. It has been working fine, until, today. Upon opening it up it tells me the serial is invalid. Not sure how that is possible when the serial is post on the Adobe page with the download. I put those serial numbers in and i still get invalid serial number. How do I fix it since i cannot call them

That is the window/message with invalid serial
Also, Verizon found a Trojan on my PC and removed it, it came from brushes I downloaded for PS. Either way I do it or try it now the serial is invalid.

  • Previously usable serial number now invalid?

    I was given a free download of CS6 Design Standard from my work, which I have used. Then, last week, I was uninstalling the trial version of the CS6 Master Suite (which I had also been using and had expired), but in doing so, I accidentally uninstalled the design standard. Now, when I go to re-install it with the same serial number I used before, Adobe says my serial number is invalid. How can this be? And how can I get my programs back? Please help!
    EDIT: Turns out I was using the Mac serial instead of the Windows. Glad it was a quick fix!

  • CS6 serial number now invalid?

    I bought CS6 student and teacher edition a while ago. I had all sorts of problems with the initialization. I installed one version on my macbook pro and one version on my macbook air as I work from home on one and travel with the other. About 1 month ago my illustrator, in design and photoshop ceased to open. I get an error message saying that my serial number is invalid, and already used on a maximum of two machines, that I need a new serial number. I have only ever had the program installed on two machines. I tried to install it on my old macbook pro but it was too old to take the newer version of the software so I couldn't even install it, let alone activate it. (The new macbook pro was a replacement).
    I have no idea what to do. Other than uninstall and reinstall all the programs which is a complete pain.
    With all the issues I had just getting the software this is the last thing I need

  • I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number.  Now what?

    I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acrobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number.  Now what?

    If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine.  YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.

    Hi,
    Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
    If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
    If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

  • Old school with CS2.  Haven't used in a while and am unable to use the program as it says my serial number is invalid. Customer service tells me the server for CS2 has been shut down.  Then they sent me here for help.  Does anyone have any advice?

    I don't have a clue what I am doing with this.  Here is my discussion with Customer Service:
    Naresh: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Naresh: Hi Mary.
    Naresh: I understand you have been getting invalid serial number, am I right?
    Mary Vance: Hi
    Mary Vance: yes
    Naresh: Please provide me with the serial number, Mary.
    Mary Vance: I provided my serial number here
    Naresh: Thank you for the serial number.
    Naresh: Please allow me 2-3 minutes while I check your serial number.
    Mary Vance: no problem
    Naresh: Thank you.
    Naresh: Thank you for being online.
    Naresh: I would like to inform you that the server for CS2 products have been shut down by adobe since then you are not able to install the product.
    Naresh: However, I will provide you the link to download CS2 application. Please visit the following link.
    Mary Vance: will this allow me to reinstall Photoshop?
    Naresh: Yes, Mary.
    Mary Vance: ok...what is that link?

    Mary Vance: thank you....trying it now
    Naresh: You are welcome.
    Naresh: I will also provide you the link for further information regarding the installation of CS2 products.
    Mary Vance: the download doesn't have anything regarding installation
    Naresh: Please click for the information.
    Naresh: I am sorry for providing wrong link.
    Naresh: Please click here to download.
    Naresh: The 3rd link is for the download of CS2 Photoshop.
    Naresh: Were you able to view the download link, Mary?
    Mary Vance: what file in that download is supposed to help me?
    Mary Vance: the first and 3rd link were the same
    Mary Vance: when trying to load from my software, I get the message saying my serial number is not valid. All I need is a serial number that works. Is that going to be possible?
    Naresh: Mary, Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.
    Naresh: So you will have to download the software from the above link.
    Naresh: May I know in what OS you are trying to install the software?
    Mary Vance: the link sends me to a CS2 help package
    Mary Vance: windows 7
    Naresh: I am sorry you will not be able to install the CS2 application on Windows 7 since it does not support CS2 version.
    Mary Vance: I have had on here for a few years...why all of a sudden would it not work? Illustrator is fine.
    Naresh: Okay.
    Naresh: You can try downloading the software.
    Mary Vance: was the original link that you sent me suppose to allow me to download Photoshop?
    Mary Vance: I did try and got the message that the serial number is invalid. Is there any way to get around this or should I throw it away?
    Naresh: May I know whether you uninstalled the product.
    Naresh: ?
    Mary Vance: I did uninstall Photoshop only. Then I tried reinstalling Photoshop only and got the message about the serial number.
    Naresh: I check and see that it seems to be a technical issue, I request you to please post your query to the forums so that you will get the resolution from our expertise and I'll provide you the link to visit the forums.
    Naresh: Please click here to visit the forums.
    Mary Vance: I guess I will try that.
    Naresh: Yes, please.
    Naresh: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Mary Vance: I don't see where you helped me with this yet, so I guess not!
    Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
    Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe.  We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
    Any help would be appreciated.

    CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back.  So probably won't run on modern operating systems.  If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

I have it installed now on just one computer only. It was installed also on a computer and a laptop. The laptop crashed and couldn't restart anymore. I had to through it away.

But now it is only installed on 1 other computer. If I check the sites, I have to contact Adobe but I don't know how. The link does not work and I cannot find any phonenumber.!!

  • Finished installation but it says my serial number is invalid

    I finally figured out how to install CS2 from my download files.  However, when I tried to run Photoshop it says "user name, organization or serial number is invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit".  And it does.......................
    Now what?
    Don't know if this matters, but I only installed Photoshop and Image Ready. 

    did you have old ps2 files on your computer?  if so, cleaning everything out may help resolve that problem.

  • Serial Number is Invalid? Need Help.

    I recently got a new macbook pro and I transferred my cs5 Suite successfully to the new computer. I used After Effects a few times successfully but about two days ago when ever i tried using any of the cs5 applications, photoshop, ae, etc I got any error that said the adobe application manager was damaged or somin. So i redownloaded the application manager and it opened the applications but now its asking for the serial number again. I put my serial number in and the application opened successfully. However, then the application manager opened up a window that said it appears this serial number is invalid and i need to enter a new one. So now when i open the application it asks for another serial number, and when i put mine in it says its invalid. I cant open any of my applications because it says the serial is invalid. I need help. It could be that I did not transfer properly or somthing but im not sure. Also i never uninstalled or canceld cs5 suite on my old macbook because i dont know if u have to or not. Any help would be great. All of the apps still open and work properly on the old macbook, so i assume its a transfer problem. Someone please inform me on what I need to do.

    MrGoodbar1318 I would recommend removing your Adobe software by running the un-installers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.  Once you have removed the software then also verify the following folders have been removed:
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/AdobePCD
    Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    These folders contain the serial number information and could be possibly causing your serial number to come up as invalid if they got damaged or the permissions got adjusted on them.

  • Serial number is invalid for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 within CS4

    Hi,
    I purchased Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Design Standard. Upon installing the four programs it contains (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Adobe Acrobat Pro) I keyed in the serial number and InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop worked fine, but Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 kept showing a red 'X' at the end of the serial key input, saying my "serial number was invalid".
    1. Incorrect tech support advice #1:  Adobe tech told me to de-install and re-install from Adobe purchase e-mail link only instead of from trial versions. I did this, and then none of the programs worked or accepted the serial number. I went back to trial versions, and again 3 out of the 4 programs took the serial number - all EXCEPT Acrobat.
    2. Incorrect tech support advice #2:  Opened a case # online and waited a week for some kind of help, but once again got on the phone. This time I was told that the key was to select "Universal English" as the main option. Again I de-installed Acrobat and re-installed.  There were no options for "universal English" ( you have to choose between English, Francais and Deutsch). Only when I got to the End User License Agreement was there an option to choose "English (International)". So I did as advised. Once again I entered my serial number and got a big red 'X'.  I'm at the end of my Adobe rope.....
    Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    oh man, i think i am having a bigger problem now. I tried to uninstall the whole CS4 suite and was prompt to enter my serial key, to my horror, the big red cross appears. Making my serial key invalid for the whole suite. What is going on man. I think this really screw up my system, i am using vista 64. I am going to reformat my computer and try to reinstall, but i did not deactivate. Will this cause my just bought CS4 useless???? I am starting to get worried.

  • Satellite A200-1GB PSAE6 Flashcards issue - serial number is invalid

    Hi all.
    I need help and something for my headache... :D
    Today I were looking to the updates zone and see a newer version for the Flashcard, so I donwloaded it and install, but now begin the problems...
    when the setup starts it says that must uninstall the older version,so ok I accept, then restart and exec the flashcards setup again, but now I get "The serial number is invalid" error. I come here looking for a solution and read that I must reinstall the VAP (I had installed the vap-20080109135106 version).
    Before the error windows comes up, a DOS window opens and closes automatically with this line command message : "connected to ROOT\CIMV2 namespace", then the error comes :S
    So again I uninstall the VAP, restart, clean with ccleaner, restart, install the VAP again, restart, install the newer Flashcards and....surprise....again the same error.... The serial number is invalid
    I tried again all the steps and get the error another time more.
    For the third try I just install the VAP and saw that the included flashcards were installed and working....but not so easy.... they don't works when pressing the FN+Fx combination only work if I move the mouse over them...... exactly the only combinations working are the FN+F10 & FN+F11.
    The FN key works, because as I told before two combinations works and the green light when pressing it blinks ok.
    So now I have a flashcards VAP ones (not the last update) that only works with mouse or touchpad click. If i press FN+something nothing happens (except the F10 F11).
    Whats goin here?? I'm really frustated of this happen.
    PS: I'm totally sure that the updates version are the right formy notebook model........
    I also tried to install olders version of flashcards and VAP that I had on a backup drivers cd and nothing happens, the same situation and erros..... (fcsu-20080307104403 & fcsu-20070809135810)
    Please I need something :D

    Try installing the Flash Card Support Utility from the Canadian Toshiba site.

  • Acrobat 9.0 licensing issue - "serial number is invalid"

    I bought a copy of Acrobat 9.0 standard.  Installed it on my desktop PC (no issues).  But when I installed it on my laptop, I got an error that I exceeded my number of licenses.  After talking to Adobe (twice), with them telling me that they had increased my number of installs, I now get an error on the laptop that my serial number is invalid.
    Adobe tells me that the copy I bought was an OEM version, and they can't help me.  
    Any thoughts on how I get two installs with this software?  Or am I stuck with just one install on my desktop?  (Is that one going to start getting "invalid serial number" messages too?
    Thanks!
    - I am using Windows 7 operating system (both desktop and laptop).
    - I purchased this software online from someone (not Adobe).

    I don't think I helped, just gave you some bad news. OEM versions are sold for use on the distributed computer only. It may be that you can also install on a second computer with the disks provided. Anyway, good luck. I would suggest trying to check the SN on the one you have installed.

  • Getting serial number is invalid when trying to install acrobat 9 pro

    Hello,
    I am getting a message stating that the serial number is invalid when trying to re-install adobe acrobat 9 pro on windows 8. adobe support confirmed that the srial number I am trying to us is valid though. any help is appreciated.

    Nope,I downloaded the software from adobe website: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8

  • FCP7 upgrade - says serial number is invalid????

    Hi there,
    I am wanting to upgrade from FCP4 to FCP7.
    I am running a Macbook Pro with Mac OS X V 10.6.8
    Question 1: Can I upgrade from a full version of FCP4 to FCP7?
    Originally I installed FCP4 - full retail version - on a G5 tower/dektop in 2004.
    In 2010 I bought a Macbook Pro and installed FCP6 Academic version as I was studying that year. I have been using this version until today.
    I understand that I cannot upgrade my academic version (FCP6).
    I have unplugged and stored my G5, and haven't used FCP4 for a few years now.
    However, I have my old installation disks and serial numbers which I tried to install into my macbook pro today.
    Today I tried to install FCP4 on my macbook pro, as I assume I need to do this in order to upgrade to FCP7.
    It seemed to work - ie computer restarted, but I can't find FCP4 anywhere on my macbook, only the existing Academic version.
    (There was also an error box for QMaster I think (?), and also a prompt to insert LiveType and apple Loops disks.)
    Question 2: Do I need to also install Live Type and Apple Loops to successfully install FCP4?
    Question 3: Do I need to un-install my Academic version in order to install my old FCP4?
    On another tangent:
    Just out of curiosity (or impatience hahaha) I inserted my FCP7 upgrade disk.
    When I typed in the serial number = carefully, using capitals and dashes and being careful of O vs 0 etc = an error box comes up saying that the serial number is invalid.
    Question 4: Why is the serial number invalid? Is it because I have an academic version installed at present, which can't be upgraded? It doesn't seem logical to me that it would prompt this message box.
    Any help appreciated - I have a deadline looming!
    Cheers

    Use FCS remover to delete all copies of the software on your machine.
    Insert the FCS3 install disk (aka FCP7)
    When it asks you for the original serial, give it the FCP4 number.
    When it asks you for the upgrade serial, give it the FCS3 number.

  • Sat A200-1AE: Toshiba Hardware Utility - "the serial number is invalid"

    Dear Sirs,
    I install Vista Business to my A200-1AE (originaly it was Home Primium). I install all drivers exept TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility . Then i try to install it is says "the serial number is invalid"
    Can some one help how to install it and what can be a problem?

    What I did - I walk thru the original drivers that were added on the cd with Home Vista.
    I found out that Toshiba Hardware Utility version is 1.48.0.8c, it is not the same as it is on a download drivers presented by toshiba for downloading v.1.48.0.9c.
    1.48.0.9c - this is the version wich didnt want to be instaled -"Serial number is incorrect". So i found it in the net and install 1.48.0.8c
    Plus it was mentioned that all drivers from the beginning have to be installed in order - given by toshiba, but by number 8 it was mentioned *TI Multiple Digital Media card Reader* - only after Jeffrey msg i found out that it is the same ->Flash Media Driver - the one i was installing right after Flash card Support utility - since i coudnt figure out what they mean by T*I Multiple Digital Media card Reader*.
    I tryed it on my girlfriend notebook and it worked.
    Right now I will try it on my Notebook - after usefull help by you Jimi regarding incorrect ROM size i will try it and let you knoiw if it worked.
    I just dont understand why it is important to install drivers in the strick order + different versions appears.
    One more thing, I have a problem with Robson Package - it is all the time against me -no instalation :-( but it is appears with the rest of drivers presented by toshiba for my model.
