Aperture - new serial number

hello! I need some help. My friend let me use his aperture serial number to install the program on my computer so that I could see if I liked it before purchasing it. After using it a little I decided to buy one for myself. I installed the newly purchased Aperture cd, thinking it would ask me to change the serial number (so I could free my friend's possibility of using the program on other computers) but it still runs on the serial number belonging to my friend. Can anybody help me? Thanks....

Quit Aperture.
Delete the file /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Aperture System ID
Re-launch Aperture, input your key.
Good to go.

  • New iMac won't recognize Aperture 3 Serial number?

    Hello
    I am trying to load aperture 3 on my new imac.  When I enter the serial number it gives me the message "You have entered an upgrade serial number.  Please enter your original serial number".  What I am entering is the original serial number that came with aperture 3.  A couple of things that maybe important to note is that I have used both aperture 1 &2 prior to installing aperture 3.  As well, I am currently running aperture 3 on two additional machines which I will be slowly fazing out. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Shane

    The key question is, is the Aperture 3 that you bought an upgrade version or full version?  And how and when did you buy it, Apple online store, DVD or App Store?
    If it is an upgrade version you will need to enter you're Aperture 2 serial number. If it is a full version then have a look at Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers and Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
    Finally you can try going to /Library/Application Support/ProApps and seeing if there are any files there with Aperture in their name in some form.  Post back if there is.
    regards

  • Help..need an Aperture 2 serial number to access my library on new computer

    I just bought a new computer and have migrated my files but cannot access my Aperture application or library because it is asking for my original Aperture serial number. I have my Aperture 3 upgrade serial number but it wants the original Aperture 2 serial number which I didn't save. I called the Apple store and they said any Aperture 2 serial number will work. does anyone have an Aperture 2 serial number which I could use? I would so appreciate it. I'm in despair/disbelief over this.

    Welcome to the Aperture forum
    Hmmmm I tend to think carolya that no-one will be prepared to surrender their Aperture 2 serial number somehow....
    If you have Aperture 2 already, as you say you have.... then the original serial number is on the back of the cardboard box that it came in....

  • I'm trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0, but the Serial Number of my old copy doesn't work. Where do I get a new Serial Number?

    I bought a copy of Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 in 2001, and it's been working fine, but now I'm told I need to download a new copy. However, when I get to enter the Serial Number (of the original copy), it says it's invalid. How do I get a new Serial number?

    OK, answered my own question: the Serial Number is listed opposite the link at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • Can you get a new serial number for Logic Studio?

    so i just bought Logic Studio from a friend and i successfully installed it onto my mid 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro (entry level). Problem is that after the software was installed, i opened one of the applications that came with the bundle (Logic Pro) and it requested me to enter my serial number. I typed the right one and it didnt let me in. I tried to do that with all the other applications that came with Logic Studio but none of the apps let me in even though i tried more than a bunch of times.
    So my question is: can you get a NEW serial number?
    if not, then is there another solution that wont require me to download hack files?
    Thanks.

  • Can i get a new serial number for Adobe CS6 Design Standard for Students and Teachers?

    I have had to re-install my Adobe CS6 Design Standard for students and teachers after having problems with my computer (MacBook Pro)
    I am wondering if there is a way to access my old serial number from when I originally installed CS6, or do I have to start over again and get a new serial number?
    Help is greatly appreciated!!

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

    I think you better check with Customer Service, make sure that they are all numbers rather than having any letters. 0 the number can look like O the letter.

  • My new serial number for CS6 upgrade is rejected.  How can I download software?

    I just purchased CS6 upgrade.  The new serial number is rejected.  How can I download the software?

    Get in touch with support. Nobody here can sort out serial number issues. In the meantime, simply run the app as trial.

    You must download and install the CS2 version provided by Adobe and you must use the new serial number provided by Adobe.

  • New serial number

    My computer crashed and I need a new serial number for Lightroom 4.  I have my product key.

    Because old serial number was in my emails and it was Outlook that crashed!
    Why do you need a new serial number? The existing one will still work.
    Just re-install Lightroom , re-enter your existing serial number and you're good to go.

  • Do I need to repackage when I get a new serial number?

    I received a new serial number and was wondering if I have to create a whole new package every year with the new serial numbers?

    Thanks, Jay. About an hour ago I opened it, turned it on, and started downloading and installing system updates. It's been plugged in this entire time. Should I have just turned it on and plugged it in to charge without using it? The article isn't entirely clear on that. Or can I keep setting it up and using it as long as it's plugged in until the light on the power cord turns green (before unplugging it and allowing the battery to run down)?
