Bought PS CS4 on ebay.  Message says serial number will no longer allow use of the product. ???

Bought PS CS4 from ebay.  After loading, message says serial number will no longer allow the program to function.  What do I do now?

What Curt said.  Then you might want to think twice in the future trying to get "too good to be true pricing".
Good luck.

  • CS4 Upgrade, the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected

    I have a valid CS2 premium license and have installed CS4 upgrade to a new machine but get the dreaded error "the serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected" Now I got this error when I originally installed in 2009, back then I could call customer service and get the problem resolved but now when I phone I get an automated message saying phone support is not available for CS4? Does anyone know of a work around or a UK number where I can get this resolved? Any help would be appreciated.

    Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
    Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS?

  • Audition CS 5.5 says "serial number not valid" when starting, but all other products work?!

    Hi,
    I use CS 5.5 Production Premium for quite some time now.
    Today I tried to start Audition for the first time.
    It gives me a choice to continue to use as a trial or provide the serial number.
    When I enter my regular CS 5.5 s/n, it says "the serial number is not valid for this product".
    All other products work.
    What do I have to do to make Audition start?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Did you buy an upgrade version of Acrobat 11?  If so then you need to provide the serial number of the old product that you are upgrading from.  This is normal with all upgrade versions otherwise people would all buy upgrade versions without owning the prior versions so this is one of the checks the installation process does.,
    You have the serial number for the old product right?  If not go back to your account and see if the old product is listed there.
    Also, please remove the picture you have posted here because it has your serial numbers which are not meant to be public.

  • I've just been given a View Quest Book Box as a present but do not have a serial number to set it up and register the product on my adobe reader account. Can anyone help?

    Can anyone help? I've got an adobe account and want to register the Book Box but the number that is on a small sticky lable on the back of the Bookbox which i assumed was the serial number is coming back as invalid.

    Unless that is a new product from Adobe (I say new because I have never heard of Adobe selling anything with that name) you are going to have to contact the actual vendor for help

  • Flash Builder 4.7 Serial number you provided is valid, but no qualifying product is found on this computer

    Hello ,
    I am trying to activate my Flash Builder 4.7 I but I an receiving  the message "Flash Builder 4.7 Serial number you provided is valid, but no qualifying product is found on this computer".
    So what can I do. Do I have to install first some older version or something different?
    Kind Regards,
    Dimitar Marinov

    I am seeing exactly the same issue.  I have "FlashBuilder 4.6 Standard Edition" installed on my computer and have been using it for over two years.  I purchased the upgrade to "4.7 Standard Edition" but it will not let me install.  I enter the serial number associated with the upgrade I purchased on 7/23/14.  I then receive a message saying "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  I am given a way to select the qualifying product I already own so I use the drop down menu to select "Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard" and enter the serial number that I get from my adobe account's "order history" page.  My order history shows "Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 Standard Edition US$249.00  Full, Mac/Win, English, Download" and a serial number. I enter that serial number and get a message saying "That serial number is not for a qualifying product.  Please try another". It seems like this should just work.
    So... there is a link to "Customer Support" in that same dialog, but that leads to a general support page that eventually led me to this page.  I'm stumped.  What should I do?

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS4 won't accept CS3 serial number

    Hi
    I bought a downloadable upgrade to CS4 Design Premium a couple of weeks ago, installed OK, accepted the new serial number but when it asked for my CS3 serial number it won’t accept it. I have contacted Adobe Support and they told me that I needed to reinstall as they thought that it was doing this because I hadn’t chosen International English as the language and my original CS3 was set to International English. I did this but it still won’t accept my old serial number and I am having to use the programmes as a trial version. I have contacted Adobe again but it has been a week now and no response – has anyone else had this problem? I am getting concerned about what will happen when the trial runs out!
    Thanks for your help
    Message was edited by Jochem van Dieten: removed attached image with serial number

    Downloaded OK – Installed OK – when I open any of the programmes I get a Software Setup box that opens asking to choose the option of using the product on a trial basis or inputting my serial number – I input the new CS4 serial number and that is OK – then you click next and it brings up an Upgrade Check asking you to select a product that you already own (this is only a drop down menu of CS3 items, i.e. Design Premium, Master Collection etc) and asking you to input the serial number for this product – this is where it is falling over – I  input my old CS3 serial number and I get a cross and a box that comes up saying <The serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected. Please try reentering the serial number, or selecting a different product from which to upgrade> this is where I am putting in my CS3 Design Premium serial number and it won’t accept it even though it is correct and is even listed under my Adobe Account as CS3 Design Premium!
    Hope that makes more sense

  • I HAVE JUST PURCHASED PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 13 AND SYSTEM SAYS SERIAL NUMBER INVALID BUT IT IS CORRECT

    I HAVE JUST PURCHASED PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 13 AND ON ENTERING SERIAL NUMBER SIX BLOCKS OF 4 IT KEEPS SAYING SERIAL NUMBER NOT RECOGNIZED DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS CORRECT ANY IDEAS? 

    Which Operating System you are using?
    In the serial number window, on the title bar check if the product name is Photoshop elements 13
    There are some PE serial number which is specific for windows OS, you may check that also.
    You can contact Adobe support and verify your serial number once

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
