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.

  • Elements 13 serial number not accepted

    Purchased, downloaded and installed Photoshop Elements 13 on Mac.
    After installation it asks for serial number. It will not accept the serial number from the purchase email.
    I verified it was the same serial number as on the accounts page.
    I checked it multiple times, had someone else check it, then printed out the email and entered one number at a time checking each one off just to make sure I got it right and I still cant get it to accept the serial number.

  • Serial Number not accepted CS4

    I have a Macbook Air and tried to install CS4 Design Standard, but the downloaded installer does not accept my serial number (marked as invalid). I purchased the CS4 Design Standard (Education) in 2009. What can I do to install the CS 4 on my Mac that has no disc drive? Why is my serial number not accepted?
    Looking forward for help!
    Thanks.

    contact adobe support if you're certain you're using the same serial number that worked previously, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    otherwise, make sure you're using the correct serial number, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

  • LR6 upgrade serial number not accepted by Adobe Applications Manager

    I bought and downloaded LR 6 (upgrade). When I entered my new serial number in the Adobe Applications Manager, Serial Number upgrade, there is not an option for LR6, only LR 1-5. It says the qualifying application LR6 cannot be found. How can I register my serial number to my new LR6?

    Lightroom 6 is not associated with the application manager. The application manager is for use with the creative cloud and with Lightroom CC. So what is it that you really purchased? And where did you download it from?

  • Why is my purchased serial number not accepted in the downloaded trial version?

    I purchased an upgrade to Elements 10 from Elements 9 and downloaded a 32 bit version instead of a 64 bit version.  The only way I found to re-download was to download a trial version.  Entering the serial number provided by Adobe gives the message that it is an invalid serial number.

    Did you enter the Elements 10 serial number?  Have you checked your account to verify it is the same serial number you have registered?

  • CS2 Premium serial number not accepted at use on Win 7 system

    I have at several years old version of the Creative Suite 2 Premium. It has been licensed on a Win XP system previously, but now I try to install it on my new Win 7 computer.
    But the "Personalize your software" - window will not accept the serial number that I can read on the product casette from the label named "SERIAL NUMBER CREATIVE SUITE PREM".
    Am pretty sure that it is entered correctly, and in fact the same serial number is accepted during installatin.
    Please advise....
    Ole C P

    Hi Jeff,
    The request for the serial number comes when I start up InDesign, I have not tried the other programs.
    I enclose a screendump of the Serial number request and while I am at it a foto of the product case as well:

  • CS4 Design Standard Serial Number not accepted

    Hi Adobe Community,
    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and want to install my "old" CS4 Creative Suite Design Standard on it.
    I found a page on the Adobe that enables to download CS4 software. They are all here except the Creative Suite Design Standard.
    I picked the Illustrator one thinking that I would pick Photoshop and In Design afterwards.
    It went well until I had to key in the Serial Number.
    It was not accepted. Said:
    Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
    Any idea?
    Thank you very much

  • Installing Photoshop CS5 on new Win8.1 - serial number not accepted. Help please!

    Hello everybody,
    I just wanted to install Photoshop CS5 on my Windows 8.1 64bit machine, which also happenes to be a new machine. The serial number provided in my Adobe account is not accepted by the installer! The information I could gather from the "support" area points me to a problem which is caused by not properly uninstalling the previous install, am I right? I did not know this. Also, I am no native speaker and feel a little lost on this.
    Please help, I need to use my copy of PS CS5, thanks!

  • Serial number not accepted after trying reinstall cs5design premium on mac . Mavericks

    CAn any one help me? Ik got the serialnumbers from adobe, whymis it not accepted. Is it because I have mavericks on the mac?

    if you purchased a mac serial number, and not windows, your serial number will be valid with the matching mac installation file regardless of which mac os you use.  some mac os may not be compatible but that's not a serial number issue.
    if that doesn't explain the issue because you did purchase cs5 design prem for mac, what error message are you seeing after entering your serial number?

I know the serial number is correct and I have tried uninstall and download/re-install. but no better.
    Any suggestions?
