Activation code not valid anymore

Hi,
My LR5.7 on Windows 7 crashed. I tried many things and had to download a new version (5.7.1). It doesn't recognize my activation code anymore. Tried each code I had since LR1. What to do?

One possible cause is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom, which doesn't accept your serial numbers; instead you should download the stand-alone version (which does accept serial numbers) from Product updates

Activation code not working

I own a version of Adobe Photoshop CS2. Sadly a little while ago my PC murdered itself with a Mother Board malfunction (or something of that nature) and the computer had to be tossed. Now that I have a new PC I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop but it is complaining the serial number is invalid.
Tech support, or whoever I was transferred to on the phone, said the serial number was accurate and should be working. The only thing they could discern as an issue was the operating system, which went from Windows XP to Windows 7.
Naturally they tried to tell me it was a compatibility issue but I get no such error message and the program works perfectly when you use the trial version.
But because I've been asked like 10 times today, no I don't have a trial version. I have the full version which allows a trial if you are missing the code. The version I have was purchased as a CD, not a download and I have the serial number on the back of the CD case. My CS2 is an upgrade from Photoshop 5.5, which I also have in front of me with it's activation code. I was told I'd need to type in 5.5's code after getting passed the CS2 activation window, but it's CS2 that's bogging me down and being pragmatic.
I'd like to know how to get the program working. Being told CS2's compatibility issue lies in the acceptance of the serial code is absolutely frustrating. I could understand if the program didn't work at all, but it does. Perfectly. It just won't take my code no matter how many times I type it in and double, triple and quadruple check that I put it in right.
The exact error I'm getting is "You must enter a valid serial number before activating online or viewing activation options. Please check your serial number and re-enter it, or click the Purchase button to buy a copy of this product."

You are running an application on a system for which it was never designed. Things are changing re: security, and Photoshop CS2 has no knowledge of that.
Try this:
Either run Photoshop "As Administrator", or turn off Windows UAC on your entire system (with required reboot) then run it.
If you DO disable UAC, you might want to read up on what UAC does for you (running your apps with only user privileges, redirecting some disk operations, etc.) and understand the benefits/risks before choosing to leave it disabled.

Crystal Reports 2011 Installation Issue, key code not valid

Folks,
We have just purchased two licenses for the Crystal 2011 upgrade from DigitalRiver. The installation completes successfully, using one of the two "digital rights" keys that were provided in the confirmation email from DigitalRiver.
Upon launching Crystal Reports 2011 for the first time, though, we are being prompted with a License Manager window asking to add a key code for Crystal Reports. We enter the "digital rights" key provided by DigitalRiver, the same one used during the installation [copy and pasted from the email for accuracy] and receive the error message "The key code you just typed is not valid, please try again."
Canceling this window or clicking Ok simply closes the Crystal Reports application.
Any assistance in how to get the application running would be helpful.
Tested Environments:
Windows 7 Professional SP1, 32bit
Visual Studio 2010 w/ CR for Visual Studio 2010 installed
Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit
Thanks,
Jeff

Follow-up:
We went through several iterations of installation and finally decided to mix things up to see if we could get a different response from the software. The items that we performed differently were as follows:
1. Ran the setup.exe as administrator [even though we have full admin access as the logged in user]
2. Hand typed the digital rights key rather than cut/paste from the email
3. Performed a custom installation rather than the default and de-selected all of the SAP and other software integration options.
The software ran fine without prompting with the License Manager.
My guess is that it was the removal of the integration pieces that allowed the application to run. We'll perform our next install with just that change and see if it is the culprit.

LIcense code not valid!

Due to problems with my old N82, I bought a new N82 and are now trying to use MAPS, but whenI try to enter the license code, I get the message "This license code is not valid".
To get to this message was a hazzle, but finally I got there, connected to the server and god the "Update completed" info, whereafter it comes to a page where I can buy Licenses or enter license codes - it's here I enter my PAID FOR license code, which is valid until spetember 2009, and then get this "not valid" reply.
Doe's anyone know what the problem is and how to solve it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It doesnt matter where you have purchased the phone to transfer the license as you can buy license for an region.
Your llicense says it is not valid as it might have exceeded the number of devices attaced to it,
You can have the license attached to either 1 IMEI and 2 Sims or 2 IMEI and 1 sim at any time,
In the event you have exceeded the number of devices then the license has no more option to register another devise it will return as invalid.
All you have to do is call nokia and they will replace the imei to the new one and you would just have to do the update.
they will require your previous and current IMEI number plus if you have the license code and some other details for verification.
Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

LR 30 day trial purchased education version & activation code not working

Hello
I purchased a iMac 5K and had been using Aperture on my old machine. Felt this was a good time to change to LR 5.
Downloaded the 30 day trial and decided yes I was very happy the software. I purchased the education version and received my code via email. This code is not being accepted by LR 5.7.1.
Is the download version different to the one I have purchased?
Do I need to delete the version I have installed and then use the disk provided? If that is the case can I reload all my past 2 weeks changes to LR?
Many thanks for your help.

You’re not by any chance running the creative cloud version of LR are you?
The CC download can only be validated by subscription, not with a serial number.
If so, send it to the trash and use this download link for v 5.7.1; then enter your serial number.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5856
N.B you can use your DVD disk if preferred but you will need to update via the help menu to 5.7.1 after installation.
Your photos and catalog won't be affected.

IWork and iLife purchase with codes not valid on the new computer?

Hi,
last year I downloaded the iWork and iLife suites on the macbook pro provided by my school. I'm not sure how it works but I had the iWork suite and I used to update it with my Apple ID, now I can't. I just got an old macbook air (sold before the apps were included for free) and I was trying to download the suite but it's not in the purchased apps and it's not free. I used to have them, do I have to buy them again?
Regarding the iLife suite the situation was slightly different. I basically downloaded them with some codes given me by the Apple support, do they work only for a single computer?
Thank you!
P.S.: In case I can't download them again, do you know if Apple offers discounts on its apps for students?

Apple does not offer education discounts to individuals for software.
If the Mac belonged to the school, the apps also belong to the school. If you now have your own used Mac, then you will need to buy the apps for yourself.
