Aperture asking for serial number

Aperture keeps prompting for a serial number when I open it.  I saw this listed as a bug fix in software updates on the ap store, but my software is up to date.  How do I even find my serial number since I downloaded it from the ap store?  Also, in the future, how do I uninstall an ap?  Thanks so much for your help.
Jill

When and how did this start? After you made an update? Did you update from the App Store or download an installer from the support page?
How do I even find my serial number since I downloaded it from the ap store?
Jill, Aperture from the App Store does not have a serial number. If it is asking for one, your installation is buggy.
I'd recommend to reinstall Aperture from the AppStore.
Back up your computer, if you do not have a current backup.
Remove the Aperture application from the "Applications" folder to the Trash.
Sign into the AppStore and go to the "Purchased" tab. Download Aperture again and let it install.
Does it work now?
Also, in the future, how do I uninstall an ap? 
That depend on the application. Applications, that are coming with an installer, usually also have an uninstaller. Use that to uninstall.
Other Applications, that you install by dragging them to the Applications folder, can be uninstalled by simply deleting them.
The documentation of each app should tell you, where the data reside, that also need to be uninstalled.

  • Aperture asks for serial number on each restart my mac

    Everytime I restart my macbook pro, Aperture asks me to enter my serial number. I first have to enter my serial number for Aperture 3 upgrade. And then I have to enter my serial number for Aperture 2. After that Aperture works fine until I restart the computer at which time Aperture again asks me to enter this information.
    Anyone know why it keeps doing this and why it can't remember my serial numbers? This problem has occurred ever since I moved over to the macbook pro 2011 and dragged my aperture icon over to my new computer.
    thanks for any help!

    I didn't use migration assistant (not even sure what that is). I basically copied over the aperture application from my old computer to my new comuter - set the settings to be the same, and copied over my aperture libraries as well. It launched fine once I entered my serial number - but keeps asking for it everytime I restart.
    I don't have the aperture disk anymore so if I want to restart - do I simply download the demo version and use my serial numbers? What files do I need to remove and how do I preserve my settings?
    thanks,
    Rishi

  • Aperture asks for serial number

    I upgraded to 3.4.5 a while ago and EVERY time my system reboots I need to type in my serial number for Aperture...this is very annoying.  Does anybody have an easy fix for this?
    Thanks,

    it is unusual, that this happens after an update of Aperture - typically we are seeing this problem after migrating Aperture from a different Mac.
    Are you entering the serial number from an administrator account? If not, try to sign into an admin account to enter the serial number. Aperture seems to have problems to write the serial number to the system library. If it forgets the registration key, when you shut down the system, the registration code is probably written to a temporary directory and erased when rebooting.
    Look at the temporary directory /tmp:
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go >  Go to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see a file ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.

  • Trial version is asking for serial number ... helpp

    I selected "try" from the adobe CS5 page and when I am in the install window it asks for serial number.
    Why ???
    Now there is option to "try as a trial version" however it will not allow me to progress and select this option.
    Very Frustrating...

    Did you run any other trials already? in any case, try the suggestions listed in the respective section regarding licensing here and also have a look at the specific CS5 stuff.
