After instalation from retail disc asking serial number

I used before trial version of iWork 09, downloaded from apple.com, today l bought iWork 09 retail disc, but after instalation , when l lunch it ,it asked me to enter serial number

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Update from app store asking serial number

    I proceeded to  a simple update of my aperture using the app store
    I use the app store in order not to have to manage applications, installation DVDs etc..
    What was not my surprise when aperture, after a minor update from app store, is now asking me for a serial number
    Can anyone tell me how I ca nrecover the serial number ?
    I m using the app store especialyl to avoid that kind of bs...

    You say you used the App Store to update Aperture, but how did you buy Aperture orignally? Was your Aperture version bought from the App Store or did you buy Aperture as a retail version on DVD?

  • Book G4 1.33gh 1.5gb won't run Leopard 10.5.6 after install from retail DVD

    I have a 12" iBook G4 1.33gh 1.5gb (last PPC version) that was running Tiger 10.4.11 on 2 partitions.
    I wiped Tiger off partition 2, and tried to install Leopard 10.5.6 using a retail DVD.
    But after the software loads, and goes to re-boot to the new system set up, all I get is an empty blue screen.
    I tried installing 3 times from the Leopard DVD, only to get the same result.
    The blue screen isn't a computer problem as I can reboot back to Tiger on partition 1 with no issues.
    Anyone know why this is?

    I didn't see anything that relates, unless I'm misunderstanding.
    The notes suggest doing an archive and replace if the install fails. But isn't an archive and replace really like a clean install, but one that saves your older elements should you want them?
    In my case I'm not trying to install Leopard over an older Tiger. I just want to install it clean on an empty partition.

  • How to install when it doesn't ask serial number?

    Hi,
    So I bought CD of iwork 08, and installed into a macbook for the first time. But that macbook died because of an accident, so I bought a new macbook pro later, and I tried to install iwork 08 on it, but when it finished "installing" it didn't ask serial number and it was done. But nothing works normally and on the menu there is "register page" so I click it, and it leads me to the apple product registration page. And when I follow it, it asks Marketing Part Number which I don't have. How should I install iwork on my computer?

    The DVD version doesn't need a serial number.
    You need to uninstall the demo version first however:

    or use Yvan's uninstall script which is refrenced here often.

  • I have CS2 with the discs and serial number. After needing to have my computer wiped, reloading the discs, and imputing the serial number, neither phone activation or on-line activation works. What do I do? Lanny

    I have CS2 with the discs and serial number. After needing to have my computer wiped, reloading the discs, and imputing the serial number, neither phone activation or on-line activation works. What do I do? Lanny

    Adobe took down the CS and CS2 activation servers, but they put up a version of CS2 for those who previously had a license to it.
    You will need to download the software from here, and use the serial number given on these pages. Follow the directions on this link, and you will soon be up and running again.

  • Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • Why use DVD install still need to type serial number

    I download iwork 09 trial version and before expire, I order a DVD version.
    after finish from DVD, still ask me to enter the serial number, why??

    Hi GovBob,
    You do not need to do this with LabVIEW 2009 and TestStand 4.2.1. If you navigate to this location: C:\Documents and
    Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand
    4.2.1\AdapterSupport\LabVIEW you will see that there is  Default Values 90.llb folder already.

  • My computer went into hibernation during the long installation process (after I've keyed in the serial number).

    My computer went into hibernation during the long installation process (after I've keyed in the serial number). When I turned it back on, the applications in the suite were all installed on my computer, but when I open them, they tell me that I am running the "extended trial" edition, and need to key the serial number again. When I do, it's no longer valid. I have tried to re-run the disc, but the serial number is stated to be no longer valid. Please help ASAP.
