Adobe is not recognizing the serial number on the box

Adobe start up screen for element 12 isnt recognizing the serial number attached on the purchased box !

Hello markd11090448,
did you purchase your product from these firms like Amazon? If yes, this is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

  • I need to download CS2 - but the system is not recognizing my Serial Number

    I have an older version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 - The computer I had the program on crashed. I am wanting to download the program on my new laptop, but unfortunately my new laptop does not have a disc portal. The Adobe site is not recognizing my Serial Number. Need help to get the program on my laptop

    See Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    In short, download and install a new version of CS2 from the above link.
    Install then enter the new serial number provided at the link above. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

  • Just purchased Elements 11, but it is not recognizing my serial number when I'm installing it.

    I just purchased Elements 11 from Best Buy.  Got the serial number from the site after typing the redemption code.  however, upon installing it, it is not recognizing the serial number.  Tried to call Adobe but they charge you to get an answer.  Ridiculous!  I've been trying this for 3 hours now.  I need help!!!! Why can't I talk to a live person???

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

    Hi,
    Does your serial number have 24 digits starting with 1057?
    Note: Please don't quote your number as this is a public forum
    If your number is not like that it may be a redemption code. See if the following helps.

    If you need help in finding a serial number inside the box, please see here

  • I was recently given Adobe Premiere Elements 9, it keeps saying the serial number on the box is invalid. What can I do?

    I was recently given Adobe Premiere Elements 9 from a friend who no longer uses it and knew I was interested in it. but when it comes to installing it, it keeps saying the serial number on the box is invalid. What can I do?
    I have tried entering it all different ways. I'm not dumb I know which one is the serial number this isn't my first Adobe product. Any help would be welcomed.

    I previously had PS CS5 Trial installed but removed it using both Control Panel Programs and deleting all files from the CS5 directory on Program Files.  I then installed a purchased product from Adobe disc using the serial number on the case.  But when I try to launch it, I get a screen headed Photoshop CS5 Extended Trial.  It asks for the serial number and says that my trial has expired.  It rejects the serial number from the Adobe case saying "This Serial Number is not valid for this product".  It thinks that I still have the expired Trial Version installed.  How do I convince it (the program) that the Trial Version is long gone and the currently installed product was installed with a valid and accepted serial number????

    Let me know how it goes. Go into your Adobe account and register your serial number asap.

    That way, should you lose it or you need support, it is on record that it's yours and you can fetch your s/n it from anywhere.
    There are too may sad stories here, where people forgot and the box is buried or lost.

    I purchased the multi-user iworks (yes back when it was new, 2009 or 2010 and recently had to replace my white imac's hard drive (but didn't pay to fix the CD drive).  My iworks does not have a serial number on the box and now that my CD drive isn't working how can I reinstall this software?

    Buy or borrow an external USB optical drive.
    See the confirmation email or covering letter to obtain the serial number. If you have lost it, contact the supplier.

  • Why ipad serial number in settings is not the same as the serial number in the back?

    I took an ipad mini for screen replacement, everything was succesful. The customer calls me back claiming that the ipad wasn't his ipad. He went to store and claims that the serial number  that shows on info of the ipad does not match the serial in the outer frame (the one in the back). I didn't check that on my procedure due to that I didn't turn on the ipad and in the recieving yes i wrote the serial number that is in the back. I check on several forums and some people where asking the same issue but in case of a purchase in a store or online, that their serials didn't match. I would like to know if someone have found this issue on any product, ipad, iphone, ipod or whatever other, having this issue with serials.

    Here we work with repairs for devices that does not have waranty (expired or other issue). In this case, I did the screen replacement. No other ipad was on my station, the ipad arrives, i took it change the glass, put everithing back, give to customer. Thats it. The job was done by me, the customer test his ipad in front on me, works fine, everything ok. Few days pass and he came back saying that it wasn't his ipad, he brings the box that the ipad came and ask me why the serial number does not match the serial number in the box (sorry NOT in the back of the ipad).
    There were no other part changed only glass. After 7 years working on this, thats the first customer complaining about a work done here. After this I was curious and look for more information and some forums, also one port here is claiming that the serial number on the device is not the same as the box where it came.
    I just want to make sure that there are possibilities that there could be such mistake during the packaging process.
    Thanks for the replies

  • Where can one find the serial number on the package of Adobe Photoshop Elements II ?

    I have tried every single approach known to man, to get my software loaded into my laptop... I cannot locate the serial number on my box of Elements II, then fournd the  reddemption code.. tried to find that on the web, with no success, then called Best Buy three times, maybe four.. no one knew how to help me, there, either --they should be able to at least, tell me where to find the serial code, somewhere on the packaging.. no matter what number, or approach I have used, for the last three hours.. none of them work.. can someone make any suggestions as to how to get this program installed  ?  The people at Best Buy, had no clue, and bounced me from person to person... then put me on their Geek Squad number, which played bad, scratchy  MUSACK for twenty minutes, and no one ever picked up there ! So someone at Adobe MUST have some sort of suggestion on getting this loaded !  Bonnie

    What is Elements II, is that 11 or 2?

  • I installed the serial number and the computer tells me it's not enough numbers.

    I installed CS2 and I installed the serial number and the computer tells me it's not enough numbers.

    Roland Jean your account only has an upgrade for Photoshop CS3 listed under it.  In order to install you need to enter your previous qualifying serial number in addition to your Photoshop CS3 serial number.

  • I don't have original docs-- how can I find the serial number in the software itself?

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased a macbook pro from eBay which had Flash CS4 already installed on it, but which didn't come with the original documentation or CDs that would have had the serial number.  The seller said he would send along the appropriate numbers when he tracked them down, but he never got back to me again.  I'd like to upgrade to Flash CS5 now, so is there any way I can find the serial number through the software itself?  I've seen similar threads to this one elsewhere in the forums and the most promising answers have involved people locating truncated numbers in the software and asking Adobe to decrypt them.  Unfortunately, I can't even find these truncated numbers...  anyone have advice?
    Thanks

    Chances are you do not own the rights to use or have that software installed on that machine.  If the seller was only going to supply you with numbers and not transfer his/her license thru Adobe channels (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/152/tn_15281.html), the seller would probably be in violation of the End User License Agreement (illegally providing a copy to another individual). If the seller still retains the license, the copy on your machine would have to have been erased before the sale... and still needs to be.
    This is likely to apply to other software that was installed on the machine by the seller.

  • I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4).  I receive an error "The serial number you entered is inv

    I am trying to license my recent download of Lightroom 5 onto my recently purchased Macbook with the serial number of the disk I purchased last year for my Windows PC (an upgrade from Lightroom 4).  I receive an error "The serial number you entered is invalid".  Why does CC not recognize this as a valid serial number?

    Soyouca how did you install Photoshop Lightroom?  Please uninstall the current installation using the uninstaller located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    Once Photoshop Lightroom is removed please download a fresh copy of the installation files from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  The update contains the full installer so please download the latest version of Photoshop Lightroom 5.
    You may be asked to enter your serial number for Photoshop Lightroom 4.  You can find information on how to locate the serial numbers under your account at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
