  • Acrobat 8 suddenly asks for serial number, won't launch

    I have Acrobat Professional 8.1.3 as part of CS3 Design Premium, student license. Acrobat was not a separate disk. It was installed along with the rest of CS3 and always launched normally. Today, it requested the serial number and would not launch without it. It is acting as if it isn't registered. Rest of the suite is launching normally. I input the serial number from the disk, and it is rejected as incorrect. What is going on?

    Just FYI - It's a known issue.

  • CS3 Suddenly asking for serial number after 2 years of use.

    I have been using CS3 for two years on a daily basis and suddenly it is asking me to input my serial number as if I was installing it for the first time.  When I input my serial number it says it is invalid.  I am unable to access any application in CS3.  Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to stop it.  This is my job.  I need access to the software that I paid for.

  • Indesign suddenly asking for serial number and rejecting the one I have

    Hi,
    This question is very similar to that of act_writ from 19/10/2014 ("Sudden trouble opening InDesign - serial number rejected")
    - I am asking again because that question was not answered.
    We have InDesign CS6 on a Mac, purchased last year with a student license. It always worked and opened the program without asking for a login. All of a sudden yesterday it asked for a login and the serial number, but it rejects the serial number I have received when purchasing the product.
    I am still a student so it should not have expired.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am pretty desperate as the customer support agent I contacted could not help me.
    Thanks!

    A serial should be ok if it was ok.
    Exceptions are: If the serial was used several times in a way which is causing doubts of its legal use, then will Adobe deactivate it (e.g. use of several serial in connection with illegal copies) or when Adobe shuts down the activation server as it was done with CS2, but the user could replace it with a common serial.
    Normal, with a running program it will never ask for a serial, only if the user clean up his computer and delete some folder and files where activation files are hidden. But in that case the serial should be inserted with the next start or in the wort scenario you might uninstall all programs and install them again to be able to enter the serial.
    For non English (including UK and US and International) versions users the serial can also fail when the localisation files are deleted.
    Maybe that you exchange the serial with some other number or a number from another product which was bundled?

  • Acrobat X Pro asks for serial number @ startup.

    Since joining Creatve Cloud, every day when I open Acrobat X Pro, it asks for the CS6 serial number. Does anyone know how to stop it? It was never a problem before CC.

  • Why is Aperture suddenly asking for serial number?

    I have just arrived in the Middle East to shoot some work, opened up Aperture (2) and it's asking for the product serial number. I have been using Aperture for 2 1/2 years and it has never asked me for this. Why is it doing this??? And needless to say, I don't have it with me. How frustrating! I have not upgraded anything on the laptop...same setup as before I left.

    Since you are away from the serial # I would either call AppleCare or download a trial version... Oops, you said Aperture 2. Don't think Apple has a trial of 2 posted anywhere and if you use a trial of 3 you wouldn't be able to import any library you create back into 2. Try AppleCare.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro XI Asking for Serial Number

    I am a Creative Cloud subscriber. Downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI today for the first time. When I launch the application, it tells me that my "trial" has expired and that I need to buy it or enter a serial number. Huh? What do I need to do to run the application? It's part of the my Creative Cloud membership...

    Hi marymaid2
    Please Click the option I want to Install trial While Installing ...and It will Install it as a Trial ...

  • CS2 InDesign, why is it suddenly asking for serial number, then not accepting it?

    I have been using CS2 since it came out as an upgrade to CS1.  Now with art work in process, suddenly InDesign can not be used.  How might this be corrected?

    Okay, thanks.  I will check.
    Regarding Marvin's thought that one cannot upgrade individual programs within Creative Suites, that is incorrect.  On the box of Acrobat 9 Pro it lists CS, CS2 and CS3 as qualifying programs for the Pro 9 upgrade.  The interruption of part of the suite by the 9 Pro installation is clearly an Adobe error and I am surprised at how quickly the support teams have dropped the ball here.  
    Thanks,

    I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
    Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
    Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.
