Aperture 2 Does not Accept my Serial Number After a Repair Install of OS

I had to do a repair re-install of Leopard, followed by download and installation of software updates needed. This was completed successfully, with no problems. The first time I try to log onto Aperture 2 following this re-install I am asked to provide the product serial number, which I do. The S/N is coming from the packaging supplied with Aperture 1.5 Retail Version. I have since upgraded to Aperture 2.1, but there is no serial number with this package. I have entered this S/N every possible way. Can someone please tell me what Aperture is expecting in this field in this circumstance? I have had no problems with Aperture at all until I attempted to log on today.
Thanks for any help provided. This has been very frustrating!!

Yes there is, you must have entered it to get your Aperture 2 upgrade working in the first place. If bought by download it should be in an email somewhere, or possibly also by logging into your Apple ID in the store. If you bought the box it'll be on a sticker somewhere in the box.
Unless you were still using the trial version of Aperture 2, you have already typed this number in at some stage...

CS5.5 Upgrade does not accept the serial number used for CS 5 Master Collection install

Installed CS5 Master Collection from disk with given serial number. CS5 Master Collection installed fine. Inserted CS 5.5 Design Standard disk, and entered its serial number. It asked for a qualifying product/serial number. I selected "Master Collection CS5" and entered the serial number I had just used to successfully install that product. I get an error saying "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another."

Photoshop does not accept my serial number

I had Photoshop CS6 and Acrobat Pro X on my old Mac laptop. However, I now have a new laptop running Yosemite and neither program accepts my serial nos.

You are allowed two activations at any one time. Have you installed on two computers without deactivating?

After a series of computer problems and rebuilds, CS6 will not accept my serial number? How do I

I have had a series of computer rebuilds and finally replaced the computer, but CS6 will now not accept my serial number. How do I contact Adobe to correct this?

Get their phone number from their main web pages (start by clicking the red Adobe icon on this page). Look for Contact Us links. The phone numbers don't jump out and shout at you but neither are they hidden.
When you get Customer Support on the phone, describe what you've been through and ask them nicely to make BOTH your allowed activations available to you once again.

HT1349 help! Apple does not recognize my serial number

I have an imac that I purchased a little less than year ago and today decided to purchase apple protection plan. As I was trying to enter my serial number listed on the bottom of my imac, I was given an error message stating apple does not recognize my serial number. I double and triple checked making sure I entered everything correctly, including going into "about this mac" from the pulldown menu and copying and pasting the serial number that way but STILL it is not recognized... tried to contact customer service but it went dead after being on hold several times so I tried using the email method but can't submit my question because..... you guessed it, my SERIAL number is incorrect and NOT recognized. Anyone have similar issues? help!

Have you contacted the vendor or seller from whom you purchased the computer?

Set up will not accept my serial number, keeps telling me invalid serial number.

Please help, set up will not accept my serial number, keeps telling me invalid serial number. What can I do?

No help what-so-ever. All I want to do is download the $299.00 Acrobat XI
Standard that I purchased yesterday. I have my redemption code and like I
said, after spending hours yesterday going through all the crap the Adobe
website asked for, my serial number was invalid. This is the most un-user
friendly process I have ever attempted to go through.
It should be one simple procedure but it never ends!!!!
Can someone please give me simple instructions to getting my download for
this product? If not, I am returning it for a full refund!

Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work- the serial number does not work?

photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
That S/N does work. I double checked.

I purchased the multi-user iworks 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?

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.

Lightroom 4 purchased through Apple App store does NOT have a serial number - cannot upgrade to lightroom 6

I am trying to upgrade from Lightroom 4.4 to Lightroom 6 on a Mac running OS X (Lion). I have purchased Lightroom 6 as an upgrade (as I am running Lightroom 4). The Lightroom 6 installer continues to indicate that it cannot find a "qualifying product" and asks for a declaration of the Lightroom product installed and its serial number. I am currently running Lightroom 4 purchased through the Apple App Store in 2013; according to all the information I can glean regarding this product... it does not have a serial number (if it was purchased through the Apple App Store). Does anyone have an idea on how to supply a valid serial number for the Lightroom 6 installer?
iMac running OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Lightroom 4.4 (purchased in 2013 through Apple App Store)
Adobe Lightroom 6 (purchased online as an upgrade from Adobe Lightroom 4.X)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

As I said in the post, a serial number was not necessary to install it; the Apple downloadable version doesn't seem to be serialized. I have not uninstalled Lightroom 4; it is still running, but apparently in its present form it doesn't provide a serial number for the Lightroom 6 upgrade to use.
