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?

  • Creative Suite 6 now asking for serial number after minor updates

    I bought the full version of Creative Suite 6 on release.
    Just recently after installing some (but in typical Adobe fashion not all) updates, apps from the suite start up by saying that I am in a 30 day trial!
    I have to then press the license button and reenter my serial number.
    This never happened prior to the last few weeks.
    I tried asking about it on the online chat since Adobe's phone lines are jammed.
    This was very much like talking to a wall.
    Is this happening to anyone else?
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Yep, me too - there's a thread about this here too...

    2 out of our 4 iMacs running CS6 are reverting to trial status every morning - despite saying it's accepted the serial number properly, up it pops the next day again! Doesn't just affect Photoshop CS6, we had the same message after launching Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 too. Must be one of these updates that popped up last week, I do wish Adobe tested these things properly before rolling them out to paying customers!!
    SORT IT OUT, ADOBE!!!

  • 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
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Downloaded aperture update from app store now asking for serial number

    Hello.
    I downloaded the update thought The App store yesturday for Aperture 3, Now it is asking me for a Serial Number to use the softwear. anyone know what is going on? and how to find the serial Number (it says to find it on my packaging but its from the appstore i dont have packaging)
    Thanks for your Help
    Rich

    I am having the same problems and have purchased Aperture 3 in June and gone through two upgrades and then the latest cloud upgrade which may be the second or 3rd upgrade wants me to put a non existant serial number and I purchased off the app store?
    Dont tell me that I have to delete and download again. I dont have time for all that again and again.
    Does anybody know a workaround.
    Is there a software link in the UK to complain to Apple Support about this issue as it is time wasting and seems that Apple does not give a stuff about customer support outside of the USA?!!

  • Asked for serial number after migration to new computer

    I did a migration to a new MacBook pro from my old iMac and now Aperture is asking me for the serial number.
    I thought using the Apple migration would take care of the complete migration.
    This is the only SW that I have noticed that have this issue. All other of my licensed SW is working just fine after the migration.
    Suggestions?
    / Christer

    Enter the serial number. Not all software magically transfers serial numbers.

  • Aperture constantly asking for serial number

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and after transferring everything from my old one using firewire Aperture would not launch -- it had only my upgrade serial number and not the original one, which I can no longer locate. In disgust I went back to the Apple store and bought a new copy of Aperture just to get a new serial number. I keyed that in and all is well except now it asks me to key in the serial number every time I launch the program!!!! It's driving me insane!!
    And help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks Allen -- I did call Apple this morning using last night's case number and we managed to solve the problem by removing some arcane ID file. Whew!
    One thing the Apple rep said is that Pro apps should not be transferred using Migration Assistant and should instead be completely installed from scratch. Who knew?
    BTW the new Macbook Pro has the most gorgeous screen ever --photos look astounding on it. And of course, that's the problem -- they look TOO astounding! But hey, my heavy lifting is on my desktop system so I guess I can live with the pretty pictures! The system positively SCREAMS by comparison to my two year old MacBook Pro.

  • Why is Aperture suddenly asking for serial number?

    I have just arrived in the Middle East to shoot some work, opened up Aperture (2) and it's asking for the product serial number. I have been using Aperture for 2 1/2 years and it has never asked me for this. Why is it doing this??? And needless to say, I don't have it with me. How frustrating! I have not upgraded anything on the laptop...same setup as before I left.

    Since you are away from the serial # I would either call AppleCare or download a trial version... Oops, you said Aperture 2. Don't think Apple has a trial of 2 posted anywhere and if you use a trial of 3 you wouldn't be able to import any library you create back into 2. Try AppleCare.

  • Acrobat Pro asks for serial number after update while being part of CS4 package

    Hello, frustrating: I installed CS4 on a new Mac as the old one wasn't fast enough anymore. I deactivated the package (Master collection) on the old one, and activated it on the new one.
    Everything works fine. Then there was Adobe updater, updating Acrobat pro. No problem.
    But when it launches, it asks for a serial number. And my CS 4 number doesn't work on this. Weird, it seems the Acrobat pro isn't linked to the master collection anymore ? But we did nothing
    with the software, just ran the update as suggested by Adobe updater.
    PLEASE HELP! as we cannot use Acrobat Pro now and we need to use it!!!
    thanks

    Hi,
    I suppose you have installed Creative Cloud Desktop App, or Latest Adobe Application Manager (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773).
    You can also try following steps:
    Launch the product
    On Trial Screen click on License this software
    On Sign in Screen, click on “Not My Adobe ID” (if displayed), else click on signin (do this even if it shows a valid ID).
    Sign in with your Adobe Id
    Software should now be lincensed.
    Can you please share your adobeID and mail oobelib.log and amt3.log from %temp% on Windows, or /tmp in Mac, if it is still not working to [email protected]

  • FCP asks for serial number after OSX 10.5.4 install.

    We're using a dual PPC desktop Mac with FC Pro. Under OSX 10.3.9, worked fine. Installed OSX 10.5.4 and now, every time we open FCPro, it asks for a serial number as though it was just installed.
    How can we stop this happening?
