Aperture keeps asking for serial number when I try to open it.

When I try to open Aperture it asks for a serial nummber. I plug iin the serial number and it asks for the original version software number. I plug in that serail number but it will not accept it even though I have checked and it it the correct number.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.
Cheers,

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

  • 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.

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • TS3231 Aperture keeps asking for serial # and previous serial # again, and again, and again.... Should I take up Adobes offer?

    As above, upgrarded to Mountain Lion and no end of problems with Aperture.. every time I open the thing it asks for Serial Number, then asks for the previous versiosn serial number (as was an upgrade), then is all OK till I close it and open it again... a bit like the movie (can not think of the title of the movie...ahh Hog Day or ???), but he woke every morning to the same morning:)  Any suggestions or fixes or points of discussion on this would be greatly appreciated.
    I have used FCP since it's inception, and now have emails asking me to "swap @ 40% discount" on a subscriber basis to ALL Adobe's software... I want Aperture to work (well open each time without me having to look up both serial numbers time and time and time again!!!
    If I can get Aperture working again, maybe even try the new FCP.. but hec... your work on many files, then have to start all over again with serial numbers!!
    Help appreciated

    Try, if the solution in this post helps:  Removing the ProAppSystemID file

  • Keeps asking for serial number since upgrading

    Just took the plunge and despite some dodgy reviews, I upgraded elements via a disc install. Now each time I open it, it asks for serial number and assumes I am still on trial. This despite my account showing it is registered. Also it has up graded and not brought any plug ins with it to the newer versions.
    Think I will just stick to Lightroom completely and write this version off.
    Any advice on sorting this buggy upgrade out?

  • App keeps asking for serial number (which I don't have)

    I've downloaded my app (Audition) that my company already purchased for me. The app keeps asking for my serial number (which I don't have). When I'm logged into Creative Cloud, Audition appears in my account. What gives?

    Hi Ratandeep Arora
    I followed the instructions, made the changes suggested, and it's still asking me for a serial number.
    I can't use my app that we paid for. Very frustrating.

  • Aperture now asks for serial number after last update but app store doesn't provide one. What to do?

    After my latest update Aperture now asks for a serial number.
    This is a little strange as when you buy it from the app store you don't get one.
    Well not one you can see.
    So now can't use it. 
    What am I supposed to do?

  • Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

    I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello there,
    Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
    I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
    I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
    I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
    Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Pierre
    PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.

  • CS6 for iMAC keep asking for serial number nearly everyday

    Hello,
    There is an iMAC (OSX 10.10) in my company which was purchased 2 years ago with CS6 Design Standard installed.
    There was no problem at all after the purchase.
    However recently, CS6 keep asking the user to type the serial number nearly everyday(see attached image); the software can be used normally once the serial number is entered.
    The user is a general user without admin privilege. Anyway I have tried to closed all adobe products, login with admin account and enter the correct serial number, it works as usual; however after one or two days CS6 still asking for serial again... so I guess this problem shall not related to user account privilege.
    I believe my serial key is a volume license key.
    Any suggestion? Thanks.

    Fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders.

  • Mac OSX Photoshop CS6 keep asking for serial number

    Hi, I don't know why, but since few days ago, my photoshop CS6 started to pop up with the trial message and ask me to enter serial number. However, I'm on a one year subscription for photoshop CS6 only, there is no serial number.
    I opened the software, and choosed "lincese this software" and then signed in with my adobe ID.  After that, the message ask me for serial number.  This didn't happen before.
    My systme is :
    Now it says I only have one day for the trial. Please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks
    Eric

    @CKPAD.co - The Adobe ID you are using to post here has never signed up for the Creative Cloud, not even a free/trial account. Are you using a different Adobe ID for a Creative Cloud subscription? If not this would be the correct behavior. The 30 day trial ends and you can either puchase a perpetual license (serial number) or a Creative Cloud subscription.
    Feel free to follow up with me by email at [email protected] since I do not want you share private information like your email address in public forum.

  • Why does aperture keep asking for my activation key each time I open the programme?

    I have aperture on iMac and macbook air - everytime I open aperture on air, it asks my name and key number. how do I get it to remember this? why does it do it?
    Help please - I am tired of it.

    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    When did this start? Have you migrated your system from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file  or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearin the /tmp directory.
    In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

  • Aperture 3 keeps asking for serial number

    I had a new motherboard installed recently, and now Aperture asks for my serial number everytime I open it. I have to type it before I can use it, and when I quit and start it up again, it asks again. Does anybody know what's wrong?

    In OS Lion your Libraries are hidden by default.
    To make them visible open the Terminal .app (the Terminal.app is located in Applications -> Utilities)
    and type
         sudo chflags nohidden  /Library; open Library
    to make the SystemLibrary visible and to open it in the Finder .
    The prefix "sudo" ensures that you perform this command as administrator. You will be prompted for your admin password. If you prefer to keep your System Library hidden, open it from the Finder -> Go menu,
    When in Finder, select Go -> Go To Folder and enter: /Library , press "return"
    In the Finder window that opens navigate to the "Application Support" folder, then "ProApps".
    In the Folder "ProApps" you will find the File "ProAppsSystemID", this file stores the licence information. Move it to the Desktop, like shutters33d described above.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. To unhide your User Library, if you want to remove Preference files,
    open the Terminal .app
    and type
        chflags nohidden  ~/Library; open Library
