ARD 3 Will Not Install "The serial number is not valid"

Hello, and thanks for reading.
I am a new network admin in a silicon valley school district. I come from a Windows background and I am picking up the Mac pretty well. I was asked by the support team to install Apple Remote Desktop 3 on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.4 to help people with our Outlook / Exchange deployment.
This will not install no matter what. I have been trying for a total of about 5 hours so far. 4 different disk, 4 licenses, 3 of which are capped at 10 and 1 is unlimited. There are plenty of licenses available still. I have removed every bit of ARD off from the original install and just tried again. I am at my wit's end here. I am spending more time tryin to help others than I am doing anything else. Teach me to be a nice guy.
Anyway, if anyone has a brilliant idea of what I am missing I am definitely willing to listen and follow. Than

First, confirm that the licence codes and the disks you were given are indeed for ARD 3. Most school districts will have a lot of old stuff floating around, so it's quite possible that you were actually given the license code or disks for ARD 2.x or even ARD 1. A license code for ARD 3 should, I believe, always begin with XARD-030-, and of course an ARD 3 disk should say so.
And I presume you're installing through a user account that has administrator privileges, correct?
Regards.

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    That S/N does work.  I double checked.

    Oh my, I hope so too but its pretty common on these types of sites - even eBay sellers do it. Its all about the way they word it. Some sellers are very crafty in the way they word their ads misleading the buyer into thinking they're getting a legitimate and licensed product when it's actually not. Be careful in any future products you buy on these kinds of sites.
    My advice is to quickly write an email to the seller and demand to know what you just bought - Be VERY specific and thorough with your questions - for example on ebay  I bought a computer that had CS5 installed on it (but it didn't come with the install disks)  This particular seller installed CS5 or 6 as well as the Microsoft Suites on all of his used pc's. So before I bid, I sent an email to him asking if it included the product codes for the CS5 because I intended to register it for Adobe support. He advised me that he bought bulk licenses for all his software, he told me exactly where the product codes were on a document and they were in fact legit.
    Also check the return policy of the Site (not the seller) sometimes they offer a little protection to their customers. Be sure to contact their support department and their Fraud department if it turns out you were scammed. And definitely give negative feedback to the seller.
    One more thing, you should  also check with the Adobe licensing support department. In fact, do this FIRST - so that you're sure the code is no good. Sometimes the product codes have expiration dates (though I've never heard of it happening to entire suite) If this is the case they will issue you a new code free of charge.
    Good Luck. I really hope it all works out for you.

  • I'm installing PS CS5 Exteneded on my new laptop. I get an error saying the serial number is not valid for this product. Help!

    If you purchased it from Adobe, it is registered and that would prove ownership as well as the emaill they sent with the serial number.
    https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader
    Sign in with the email and password that you bought it under.
    Click on the triangle next to your product and you will see the serial number assigned to you.
    You have a valid record and proof of ownership. Try again.

    I installed CS2 and I installed the serial number and the computer tells me it's not enough numbers.

    Roland Jean your account only has an upgrade for Photoshop CS3 listed under it.  In order to install you need to enter your previous qualifying serial number in addition to your Photoshop CS3 serial number.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 message: "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How do I use the software?

    I recently tried to use Photoshop CS4 that I have on my computer but I get the message:"Licensing for this product has stopped working." I have the serial number but not the media. How can I use this version?

    You can get the installer here: Download CS4 products
    It will install as a fully functional 30 day trial. Entering your serial number will convert it to a permanent version, Standard or Extended, depending on what serial number you purchased.
    If you still have the license problem. get back to me with your OS details and the error code.

    Also log in by Amazon and new download the prograsmm and installed and registred with the Serial number.
    Upto here everythings was fine. Adobe has accept the Serial number and was running.
    Than I Switch out the PC and got to bed. On the next day after starting the PC and Adobe Elements 10
    was the Programm still in Order. Apprx. a hour later I see the message on the Screen that Adobe has two Updates.
    One for Adopbe Photoshop and one for Adobe Application Manager. Also I get to install both updates. After Updates I must restart
    my PC and as I startet Adobe Photoshop I must ne registered the Photoshop program. And that was the Point, where Adobe
    alway said, the serial number is not more valid. I have try to deactivate the Registration, not possibility. The entry is grea, also not usable.
    I've than the Photoshop Program one more deinstalled, PC new started and ne installed. Without success, die serial number is for the program
    still invalid.
    And installed only the same programs as before the HDD Crash. No new or other, on the contrary, a few old unnecessary programs I have on this occasion  de-installed.
    What can I do ? I hope, tha you can understand my Situation, than my english is not the best
