Aperture won't accept upgrade serial number

I just bought a new iMac and I am transferring Aperture from my MacBook to the iMac.
When I transfer Aperture it asks for a serial number. I enter the AP3 serial number and it asks for an AP2 serial number (since AP3 was an upgrade). I enter the serial number for AP2 and the program locks up and I get the SBBOD. I tried several times.
I tried deleting the app and re-installing. Same thing. As soon as I enter the AP2 serial number the installer locks up.
Any suggestions?

Hi Bob
I notice back in May last year you were experiencing problems with transferring Aperture from your MacBook to your iMac.  I have recently bought a MacBook and am trying to install Aperture, I currently have an iMac which is running Aperture 3, upgraded from Aperture 2 and am encountering the same problem on entering the Aperture 2 serial number.
I'm very interested to know if you managed to resolve the problem and if so how?
Regards
Fiona

  • Aperture won't accept my serial number

    I transferred to my new Mac using Migration assistant but when I went to start Aperture 3.3.2 it asked for my serial number. I purchased it on disc as Aperture 2.0 and bought the 3.0 updater, also on disc. It won't accept either of my serial numbers. Obviously I have tripple checked that I am tuyping them in correctly. Any ideas what is going wrong and how to solver it?

    Maybe you have an old ProAppsSystemID file:
    Quit Aperture, log off and log on again.
    Then switch to the Finder and open your System Library and navigate to the folder:
         /Library/Application Support/ProApps
    Look, If there is a file "ProAppsSystemID" and move this file to the desktop, and also any other files with Aperture in the filename.

  • Have Adobe Standard CS 5 (Student), and would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud (Non-Student) - won't accept my serial number for special pricing for existing users

    I currently use Adobe Standard CS 5. It was bought with the Education discount. I would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud and see that they have special pricing for existing customers that use past versions of Creative Suite. I am no longer in Education, so I will have to buy a full version. This is fine, but it won't accept my serial number for the discounted pricing. Is there something else I should be doing?

  • Apple won't accept my serial number

    Hi,
    I just bought a new laptop pro. Tried to do an atomatic upgrade to Mountain Lion. Submitted my receipt as required which includes the correct serial number. Keep receiving automated emails telling me that the 'part number is missing'. Have checked the receipt against the serial number onthe machine. It is correct. Now I discover that the Apple web site won't accept my serial number either. I can't get a sensible, human response from Apple via eamil and can't organise a call back becuse you need to have a serial number to do this ... any suggestions??

    Call your country's Apple tech support and ask to be transferred over to Customer Relations.

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't accept my serial number... How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

  • PS CS6 won't accept my serial number

    I've downloaded and installed PS CS6 but it won't accept my serial number, whether I manually type it or copy it from my Adobe account page.  I get an error message saying "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  Am I going to have to download and install PS CS5 first to allow me to install CS6?

    Solved my own problem.  I just needed to enter the CS5 serial number.

  • Won't accept my Serial number PSE11

    I'm trying to install PSE11 on a Windows XP machine.  It won't accept the serial number, I'm sure there is no typo.
    What do I do now?
    Carl

    My copy of PSE11 was already registered but I have installed it on two computers.  I thought that you could have it on 3 if you only used it one at a time.  I see that it is 2, so that is my problem.  I am trying to get an old program to work on an XP computer which will not run on my Windows 8.  The program requires that a copy of photoshop be available on the XP computer. I'll try to install a trial version on the XP so that I can run this test.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Toshiba.co.nz Support page won't accept my serial number

    Hi Forumites,
    The Toshiba Support Centre at toshiba.co.nz > Support won't accept my serial number of my Satellite P840T as valid. And if I try and get to the downloads for my laptop, by entering a category of "Computers", the site just says "Loading Families..." on the next line down, and stalls forever.. something broken here.
    I also noticed that unless I have my browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the Toshiba site (which obviously uses Cookies) won't remember me long enough for me to get from the login page to the "Post new Listing" link on the Forum home page. It asks me to log in again.
    I've tried two browsers, IE and Chrome, with the same results. I think the forum site is poorly designed if it won't work with default browser settings.
    Even with browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the site still forgot who I was when I went from the Satellite P series forum to this one.
    Just some feedback on my experience with the forum so far.
    Mark

    In the past I searched drivers using part number on second option and it worked perfectly. Maybe is there some problem with the page. Try few hours later. Who knows why this happen.

  • Received a message in Pagermaker to "reinstall to personalize this program" and it won't accept my serial number, NOW WHAT?

    I have been using Pagemaker and have many important files but now I cannot get into it because it won't accept the serial number.  I checked with Adobe and they authorized that the serial number IS valid.

    "reinstall to personalize this program"
    I've seen many PM error messages in my time but I can't recall seeing that one.
    As Claudio said, Mac or Win? OS version? Complete error message(s)? And which version of PM?
    Is there a code in the corner of the message, like 1234:5678 ?
    Better still, can you post up a screen capture of the error box?
