After deactivating CS4 on an old computer, invalid serial number on new installation

After deactivating CS4 on an old computer, I can not get it re installed on my new computer, it says my serial number is invalid, well it worked to uninstall.... why is it not working? does it take a set amount of time to clear your server?

This is the exact number I used to deactivate the old copy, and the new computer is giving me this error.

  • Invalid Serial Number for New, Sealed Photoshop CS5 Program?

    Hello,
    I am trying to install a new sealed Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended product which I bought of ebay.com for a class I am taking with International Webmasters Association.  The product was purchased new in a sealed box but I get the error for an invalid serial number when I try to activate.  The PN: 65073432.  PHSP CS5 Win RET. Please help me be able to take my course and activate the expensive program I purchased. 
    Thank you.

    You not addressing Adobe here this is a user forum.  You need to contact Adobe customer service via chat or Phone to find out  if you sealed box was produced by Adobe or not.  There are many scams out there.

  • Error message after transfering CS4 from my old computer

    I am trying to transfer my CS4 suite onto my new macbook pro from my old macbook pro.  I transfered all of my files from the old to the new but when I try to open a file in the applications I am getting this error message:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    Also, my cs4 installation disc does not work. When I double click the setup button, the icon bounces and then disappears. Is there a way I can download the program and reinstall the suite using my serial number rather than using the disc? The first time I installed the program, I had the same problem with my purchased DVD's.

    I think you have used Time Machine to backup and move your data from old machine to new one. If so, your CS4 has gone corrupt and you might face such issues. You need to uninstall this existing installation of CS4 and then re-install CS4 again.
    < Uninstall CS4 using its uninstaller from Utilities->Adobe Installers Folder
    < Download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and remove the reminents of Creative Suite applications.
    < Empty the Temp folder(Go->Go To Folder->/tmp)
    < Empty the Trash.
    < Reboot the machine and install CS5.5
    < Download Master Collection CS4 using the below link but make sure first you read the download instructions properly. http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    < Install CS4 and check.
    Hope that Helps!

  • Invalid Serial Number for Second Installation of CS5

    I want to install my student and Teacher edition of CS5 on a second computer but when I typed in the serial number which I found in the "My Products" section of my online account it said that it was an invalid key.
    Is it that I have to prove I'm still a student again and how do you do that? Or is it something else?

    I installed on the first PC with a disk I bought which is the same disk that I'm trying to install on the new one.
    The operating system is windows 7 same as the old one and they are even both samsungs.
    It's CS5 Design Standard that I'm installing so its not specifically Photoshop. The last time I installed it I just installed everything on the disk and didn't have an option to install individuals (if that's what you are asking me).
    What has happened is it hasn't even got to the installation part yet it almost immediately asked for a serial number or whether I wanted to install a trail version. Obviously, I've already got a serial number so I typed in the serial number on my account here and it came up with a message that said "This serial number is invalid". I checked it several times. I didn't copy it over incorrectly. That serial number was used over a year ago so  my immediate thoughts was that it had expired.

  • Any Invalid Serial Number Installation Issue With PSE 12 - PE 12 Windows or Mac ?

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5711110#5711110
    Today I went from Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 tryouts to the purchased boxed versions that came with two installation discs. One of the discs was for Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 Windows and the other for these versions on Mac.
    On Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit desktop computer, I was hit with Invalid Serial Number for the installation of Photoshop Elements 12 which I did first. Tried 4X, double and triple checking to make sure this was not "user error". It was not. On the 5th try, the purchased serial number was accepted and the installation went to a successful completion.
    Tonight a friend alerted me to reports of similar happening for a lot of Photoshop Elements 12 Mac users. See the link posted at the top of my post.
    At no time did I see this problem with Premiere Elements 12 installation from the same disc as for Photoshop Elements 12 installation.
    Afterward, I installed these programs with the same installation disc on my laptop computer Windows 8 64 bit, I did not have any problems with either installation.
    At this time, I do not know if this Invalid Serial Number is elusive to Photoshop Elements 12 or not.
    If anyone is experiencing this problem with Premiere Elements, please let us know.
    From the link above, it would appear that Adobe is working on the issue.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply.
    In my case, I had the network firewalls and anti-virus disabled when I did the installs of Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit as well as Windows 8 64 bit.
    I was fortunate in that a 5th try of the serial number entry for the Photoshop Elements 12 install on Windows 7 64 bit was successful, so I did not have to do the computer restart and retry of the install with the purchased serial number. But, good to keep in mind, just in case.
    It is ironic...last time around I got caught up in the Shared Technologies issues with Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 8 64 bit, not Windows 7 64 bit. But, in that case, I did find my way eventually to a successful install on Windows 8 64 bit. This time around it was Windows 7 64 bit where the glitch occurred, but, for me, only for Photoshop Elements 12.
    But, could you clarify...are you generalizing that Photoshop Elements 12 Mac Invalid Serial Number is due to server issues and Invalid Serial Number encountered by Photoshop Elements 12 Windows is  "online - due to some firewall or network issues"?
    Just getting prepared for if and when more questions on Invalid Serial Number might pop up in this forum.
    Thanks.

  • Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

    My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

    Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.

  • Adobe Photoshop cs4 extended invalid serial number

    I just bought adobe photoshop cs4 extended from a large retail computer store.I had the trial version of photoshop cs4 extended.I uninstalled the trial version and installed from dvd.I got a Invalid serial number error.I am sure there was a software configuration problem .The reason ,the disk needs to verfy that you have the original disk,If that happens ,After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box ..I guess this would work also with adobe photoshop cs4

    I encountered the same problem with Photoshop CS5 - I had the trial version installed, and now bought the extended version, but it keeps saying the license key is invalid.  I did unistall, ran the cleanup tool, but it is still not working.  Any help is appreciated.

    Hello shiv99,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have used Home Sharing to play the music from one computer on another, but now you would like to only use the new computer. It sounds as though you have set up the content to share between computers, but have not actually I’m ported the media from the old computer to the new one. I would suggest following the troubleshooting steps located in the attached article to import you music from the old computer to the new one. After that process is complete, you can turn off Home Sharing if you would like and the content will be in the iTunes library on your new computer.

    Have a great day,

  • I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I deactivated Acrobat 9 Pro from a Windows 8 laptop and installed it on a new Windows 8 laptop and got the error message "Invalid Serial Number." I am entitled to this installation, can someone help?

    I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?

    Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    there is a lot of info at that link.  by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
    ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.
    Downloadable installation files available:
    Suites and Programs:  CC 2014 | CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4, CS4 Web Standard | CS3
    Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard
    Premiere Elements:  13 | 12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac
    Photoshop Elements:  13 |12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7 win | 8 mac | 7 mac

  • How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

    I bought a new,  faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
    I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
    Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
    I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer.  It has only found 4,000 pix.  I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my  pix with it.  PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
    Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not  separate family from friends etc.  I can't even find my projects.
    I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
    Help.  I am so frustrated.  I am pretty sure  before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files.  When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
    This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

    I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and  12.  I tried to go back and edit,
    but couldn't figure out how.  Sorry,  typing errorC.

    If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
