Where is the serial number for my pre-installed Adobe Photoshop?

HI folks.  I bought a refurb iMac directly from apple 2 years ago.  It already came with Adobe Photoshop as well as many others.  I didn't start using the photoshop until recently.  Yesterday, I logged on, and asked me for a serial number.  Where would I find this or how do I obtain this since it came with the iMac?  Thank you in advance!

Marty, I'm not debating the fact that you got a Mac with third party software and I'm not trying to act as the software police. Yes, Apple apparently messed up and let one slip through, strange considering the stringent testing that refurbs go through, not to mention formatting and re-installation of software. I'm just trying to make you aware that any third party software wasn't supposed to be on there and Adobe or whoever will look at it as un-authorized (stolen) if you try to update it. It doesn't happen often but you don't want to be the one caught with unauthorized software on your computer, you'll have a **** of a time convincing them that it was there when you bought the machine. Just want you to know that it could be VERY expensive.
Best of luck to you and if you do end up having to purchase software and don't need all of the features of Photoshop take a look at Photoshop Elements, it offers many of the same tools but for a less demanding user and for less $$$.

    Hi Dnstreet
    It's usually on the front of the little booklet that comes with it. There will be a couple of stickers with the serials printed. I normally take one off and stick it to the outside of the box so it's easier to get to later.

  • How can I get the serial number for registration and instalation?

    Hello ,How can I get the serial number for registration and instalation?

    contact your local sales representative.
    You don't need a serial number to install LabVIEW.
    Registration is optional.
    Activation is needed after the evaluation period.
    Install it without number and it will work for a limited time (30days?) in evaluation mode, giving you plenty of time to decide if you want to buy it.
    Check the license manager to see the activation status of everything installed.

  • Where is the serial number for the K8n Neo2 Plat?

    Hi guys,
    I'm in the process of sending my board in for RMA and I need some help finding the Serial number for my board.
    Anybody know where the serial for this board is located?
    On the box, or stuck onto the motherboard?
    Most of you who has RMA'd the board would know where i can find it.
    Please help...

    yup, I found it on the box, but didn't know whether it was the serial or not.
    But i've taken the m/b out of the case, and saw a sticker on the back of the board.
    Which has identical numbers to the ones on the box :-)
    Many thanks for all you replies.
    It seems like i'm going to need to RMA this board soon.
    Having CMOS problems where I need to clear the CMOS everytime so that tht system can boot up and do its pre-POST testing...
    One reader suggested it could be my ps2 k/b causing the failure, but i'm still unsure...
    Many thanks

    Normally the Family Pack comes on a DVD and does not require a serial number.
    Your problem probably comes from dragging over or migrating the installation over to a new Mac or upgrade.
    You have to install from scratch or it goes into demo mode and asks for a serial number.

  • Where is the serial number for audition download?

    I have a valid copy of Audition 3 which I am trying to install on my new Windows 7 computer.
    I have downloaded:
    ADBEAudition_ESD1_WWEFGJIS
    ADBEAudition_loopolgy
    ADBEAudition_loopolgy.7z
    and attempted to install. It gives me a wrong serial number error.
    Where do I find the correct serial number?

    The serial number is along the side the download links on the page that you downloaded the "ADBEAudition_ESD1_WWEFGJIS" file from. Starts '1137' and ends '8029'.

  • Where is the serial number for my AirPort Extreme G?

    I have an older AirPort Extreme G. I am trying to register the device to my Apple Support profile. When I use the link from the support site, https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa it says it is not a valid serial number. I am typing in the serial number from the bottom of the unit. I called Apple, and they said it is not valid either. Where can I find the serial number in Airport Utility?
    I am using APU 5.6 on OS X 10.7.4, and it is supposed to be listed under the "Summary" but nothing says "Serial #" or anything close.
    Can someone nudge me in the right direction?

    I got a chance today to check up in the database on that serial. Sorry bnewland, but it simply fails to exist.
    Not sure what's going on there. Seems if you realy want to get to the bottom of this now, I would suggest give applecare a call. The first advisor won't be able to do anything, but if you can ask to get to a senior advisor, you can POSSIBLY see if they can maybe send something off to engineering or another department to see if maybe this is something that fell through the cracks, or turns up as a counterfeit product, or who knows.
    I'm sort of puzzled myself at this mystery, but I do know in some of those old vintage/osbolete products Apple drops the serials out of the database anyway at a certain point.
    I just can't remember offhand now how to access those older databases.
