Adobe elements 11 Invalid serial number

When i go to my products on adobe and enter my serial number onto my adobe premier elements 11 it says invalid even if i copy and paste.

From what you wrote, it would appear that you have purchased download files from Adobe for Premiere Elements 11 and a serial number specific to that purchase. At that time, to what computer operating system did you download and install that purchased download and its serial number?
What are you dealing with...activation of a Premiere Elements 11 program that was deactivated and left installed on your computer? Or some other scenario? Please explain.
I would like to rule out that you are somehow trying to use a Premiere Elements 11 Windows serial number in a Premiere Elements 11 Mac setup or the other way around.
Typically Adobe does not support anything put the current version 12. But, it might might the exception for Activation issues, not sure in this case. To find out, click on the following link, and, when it opens, navigate to the section on "Serial Number and Redemption Codes". It looks like the paths to Adobe Chat have shifted, and I need to figure out what it has done. But, for now, I think the path indicated should bring answers.

  • Photoshop Elements "Invalid Serial Number"

    I recently did a Windows 8 refresh, which uninstalled my Photoshop and Premiere Elements. Now, when I download using the Adobe Download Assisstant and try to enter the serial number displayed in my account under products, it says Invalid Serial Number, this is not a valid serial number, please go back and reenter your number. I don't have a box or CD, because Photoshop and Premiere came preinstalled on my computer. HELP!

    Kevin,
    I've checked the details on your account and from the looks of it you are using the wrong installer. As in your case Elements was preinstalled on your system, I would request you to reach out to the hardware manufacturer and request them to provide you a copy of the software.
    Thanks

  • Cannot activate adobe photoshop invalid serial number

    I allready run in circles for days now and cannot contact someone from the helfdesk. This is the problem: I bought the suite design and web prem and received a serial-number from techsoup. I also receive a login-code to download the separete installation-files from the suite.
    After installation I tried to activate Photoshop with the serial-number I received but it says it's invalid. I have the idea I need a separated serial for each program in the suite, but if I click on pack, serial numbers it refers to a site about volume licensing and I cannot create an account for this.
    It starts to become frustrating.

  • Adobe Elements 7: serial number not accepted

    I have Adobe Elements 7 on my dying Desktop. I would like to just simply transfer my licence to my laptop. I do have the serial number for my desktop version, but it will not let me use the same number on my laptop even though when I contacted support they said it would work, then later changed their story to say that Elements 7 doesn't work on the newer operating systems. Is there a way I can do this? I'm not trying to shell out $70 for Elements 13. I own the Elements 7 product and it works fine for me.

    No that's not the probelm. Elements 7 works fine on my laptop, in fact I have it up now running. My problem is the fact I don't have a serial number for it. Support said the serial number on my desktop version would work, but it does not.

  • Adobe Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11: invalid serial number on the number for Premiere???

    During the install, the Elements 11 portion accepted the serial on the box just fine and installed, but the Premiere serial number was rejected as "invalid"???

    I suspect that you are not going to get any support from Adobe on this since you are not using the latest version which is Premiere Elements 13.
    You can try the link John as posted; it is worth a try.
    If you get sent back to "Ask the Community", that is us (user to user), please give more details and we will try to figure out the
    cause of the situation.
    My first question would be "If the installation is accepting the serial number, where are you when you get the message about the Invalid Serial Number?
    Without going into specifics and do not post serial numbers, did you purchase the product from Adobe direct or an authorized retailer or a private seller?
    Are you working with a regular version or one of those Student Teacher versions? On what computer operating system are you trying to run Premiere Elements 13?
    We will be looking forward to your progress.

  • Invalid Serial Number: OEM Adobe Elements 8

    I bought a computer and Adobe Elements 8 came on the computer. I re-installed the computer. I have the two original disks and the disk sleeves. The serial number is on the sleeve with the text "Adobe Elements 8" above the serial number. I am now trying to install it on the computer it came with.
    It says invalid serial number. I have reviewed the serial number four times to make sure that it is correctly entered. There is no error code.
    I contacted Adobe Customer Support through chat and he stated that I needed to post it here.
    Can someone please help?

    Ive had a the same problem re-installing phtoshop elements 7 that originally came free with my VAIO laptop. Although my serial numbers has be registered (by me when I first got the laptop) and it is clearly shown on my Adobe Account ID when I re-install its not accepting my serial number.  I've re-installed premiere elements in the same way and that had succeeded so I cant understand why photoshop elements is behaving differently as they both came free with the laptop at the same time.  I've also been onto 'chat' and a very polite 'customer service representative' told me that I need to find my solution in the user forums.  So, not much help there! and not much customer service either! So I'll carry on the search for a solution and post back here if I ever get one; providing that I can find the time to keep searching of course.

  • Invalid Serial Number Photoshop Elements (Windows) download

    Can you help out?  I have received an invalid serial number when installing the Photoshop Elements (Windows) 12.  I have the serial number from the Adobe website for this product.  What can be done to complete the installation?
    Thanks!

    If the serial number is from Adobe website then all you need to do is to copy and paste it in your PSE so that there isn't any error in copying the serial number and inserting it manually in PSE.
    Are you doping this?
    If you are then you need to contact Adobe Customer Service to help you because this is a public forum where volunteers try to help each other;  Adobe staff  rarely visit here and if they do, they spend very little time.
    Good luck.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code

    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code when I try that way.  I need the program and because I have opened the box it can't be returned to the store.  I have over $100 tied up in this product that I can't use.  Someone said install the free trial version...Ok, I did...but it is just a 30 day trial and I want the full version of the product I paid for!! So how do I get a valid serial number?  The serial number on the box and the redemption code card both come up as invalid.  Not a very happy customer right now!!

    You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone.

  • Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 and it is saying i have an invalid serial number

    I am trying to reinstall photoshop elements 7. I bought it and installed twice on my laptop. My laptop died and now I am trying to install on my new PC. It is telling me I have an invalid serial number. what can I do?

    So I think this has been figured out. A very helpful person at Adobe assisted me via phone, and it looks like I need to install the Creative Cloud for desktop. She clearly stated the steps and it is going as described.
    So, for anyone else who has a creative cloud app subscription (mine is a single-app membership for Illustrator), note that you need to have the Creative Cloud for desktop app installed to enter your serial number for another adobe product you have already installed. I had incorrectly downloaded and installed Illustrator without using the Creative Cloud app. However, the creative cloud app is now updating my version of CS 6 and should now sync with my SN for Illustrator.
    Thanks again Larry and Monika.

  • Invalid serial number when I re install premiere elements 10

    I am getting a message that I have a invalid serial number when I try to re install premiere elements 10. It is the correct number fropm the box.

    weeone001
    That happened to me trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit. In all my years of working with these programs, that was the first time that ever happened. Is your Premiere Elements 10 on Windows or Mac. I think that i remember some Mac issues in this regard.
    Activation problems can only be corrected by Adobe, and John T. Smith's second link in post 1 can help you with that.
    But, before you seek Adobe Chat, shut down the computer and try the installation again.
    I was about to contact Adobe Chat, when the second or third time around, the serial number took. Servers issues??? Never did find out. And, I was not typing in the wrong numbers.
    As an aside, if you have Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, please let us know if you experience any unexplained display issues. There is an epidemic of such going around. The fix, for now, is to roll back the video card drive version. More on that as indicated.
    Please update us on your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Cannot get my Elements 9 serial number to work and am getting nowhere with Adobe. Any suggestions?

    Elements 9 worked fine. It had been preloaded by Dell. I had a hard drive go bad and put in a new one. When I re-installed it Elements said the serial was invalid. Dell says it is an Adobe license and I must deal with them. Adobe sent me to the point of purchase (Dell). Dell says the yellow sticker on the disc sleeve was attached by Adobe and the serial number on it was assigned by them. If that is the case Adobe should rectify this. I paid for a product and nobody has been willing to help me out. I've spent 2 hours going back and forth with Adobe and an hour with Dell. This crap is giving me an upset stomach.

    Connect the HDMI cable directly from the Apple TV to the TV to make sure you don't have any problems with the Apple TV.
