Box is missing, how to download without serial number

Is there a way to download Photoshop without a serial number? I purchased Photoshop Elements a few years ago, had it downloaded on an old desktop. Recently got a new desktop, went to download Photoshop...could find the CD and the info booklet, but could not find the box. When I go to download it, it requires a serial number...which would be on the box...that I can't find...Any way to get around it? Or any way to look up the serial number I would have registered when I downloaded it the first time?

Sign in to your Adobe account. You should find the serial number there. You shouldn't need it to just download it, however.
What version and operating system?
Where are you downloading from?

Transfer from Mac to Windows and Downloading without serial number

Hello,
I have two questions:
1-)
Can I use CS5 on Mac and Windows interchangeably?
If not, is there a way to use CS5 (CD version) which was purchased for Windows on a Mac? If so, what do I need to do?
2-)
Can Adobe download Creative Suite to a new computer without the serial number if the product was originally registered?
I recently moved from Korea back to America, unfortunately the movers packed my CDs by accident, and they won't be here for another two months.
Thank you for taking the time to answer me,
Myriam

No.
The Platform Swap process only applies to current versions of Creative Suite. The last ever current version of Creative Suite is CS6.

You can certainly download the software. You don't ever need your discs again for that. However, the software (disc or download) will only ever install as a 30 day time limited trial version until you enter a valid serial number.
Thus you will always need your serial number for any re-install so you must keep it safe and handy.
Try logging in to your Adobe account on the Adobe website and see if the serial number can be found there.

Which operating system are you using?
When you say downloaded, where did download pse 7 from?
Do you have the original install disk or original download for pse 7?
I believe the serials won't interchange between the disk version of pse 7 and the electronic down load version.

The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.

How to find ThinkPad serial number if label is worn?

QuestionI'm having some trouble with my T500 ThinkPad and want to contact service, but am not sure how I can find out the machine type and serial number to provide to support when I call because the sticker on the bottom of the laptop is faded so I don't know what the S/N is. I do have one number though: [serial removed] was what I copied down from it before it became faded. I dont know what to do now, so if you have any ideas, that'd be great.
Answer
Generally the label with type and serial information is found on the bottom of laptops and tablets and on the rear of desktop systems and on the back or along the edge of displays. As noted by the question asked above, in some cases, the label may become worn. To reduce / avoid this, the type / serial label was relocated to the battery compartment on some systems with removable batteries, along with the Win 7 COA. As Win 8 does not have a COA lable, and print technologies for labels have improved, most current systems have the label on the bottom.
Some tablets may have the type and serial information label on the inside of memory door / SD card slot covers as was the case with the ThinkPad tablet type 1838/1839.
Here is a link to an article on the support site with examples of label locations for different model Lenovo systems. If the system will not power up at all, finding the physical label is the best course of action when contacting service.
If the label is missing and the system will power up, there are several ways to easily find this information as it is written into the BIOS on the system board.
1) Command Prompt
Run an elevated command prompt, Enter the command "wmic bios get serialnumber" (without the quotations).
2) BIOS
Boot to BIOS (press F1 on startup) and the model type and serial number will be listed.
3) Diagnostics - Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) or the prior Lenovo ThinkVantage toolbox.

IB:How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions?

Dear friends
first of all thanks for your time and valuable solutions
Install base: How to update a serial Number which has Inventory Material Transactions
problem description:
Install base > quick search
Here is Installbase record, when I query from quick search
Rec#     Item          Item Instance           Serial Number          Status
1     300-7000-01      3000000           1000XXX-0538JQ0003 Return for Adv Exchange
2     300-7000-01     8000000               1000XXX-0538JQ0003-     Return for Adv Exchange
3     300-7000-01     5000000               1000XXX-0538JQ0003-A     Return for Adv Exchange
looking above data, first and third records are the legitimate serial numbers(correct according to the client specs), second record is not legitimate since it has a dash as suffix, we found there are many illegitimate serial Numbers exists, needs to be updated with the right serial Numbers which I analyzed in excel after pulling data from mtl_material_transactions , oe_order_lines_all , mtl_serial_numbers , mtl_system_items_b
basically these are all RMAs
I need to update the second record as 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003-B as per the guidelines, while updating I need to keep all the existing contracts, Warranty, what ever material transations it has, need to be same.
we have a package updating the serial numbers using IB API (csi_Item_Instance_Pub.update_item_instance) but it is updating only the records which has no serial numbers present for that instance, if there is a serial number already exists it is not working.
user define error msg "Serial Number 1094SUZ-0538JQ0003- has Inventory Material Transactions. This serial number cannot be used to update an existing Item Instance", but I need to update this anyway!! or am I missing something here, please advice me
below post looks like similar issue, talks about hard update, I have no clue, by doing that the updated serial number will have same transations, contracts, dates....attached to it like the previous serial number
IB UPDATE_ITEM_INSTANCE ERROR - doesn't allow ACTIVE_START_DATE to change
would be great If you guys help me out, really appreciated!!
unfortunately I couldn't find any solutoin in metalink for the existing serial number update

Used this. May not be perfect but should get you there. Only if the table is registered (all the seeded tables should be registered) this will work.
select distinct a.table_name,b.column_name from fnd_tables a, fnd_columns b
where a.table_id=b.table_id
and upper(b.column_name) like '%SERIAL%'
Also this is very old one but if you need history for this change add the history insert logic as well..

Item was received without serial number by mistake.

Good Morning;
Purchasing department for one of my
clients added a product managed by serial numbers instead of by batches
in error. Product was received incorrectly, and no serial number was
entered. Now they cannot create a transaction to get this product off
the inventory (credit memo).it is asking for the S# but the item was receive without
serial number.\
I dont know how they were able to enter the AP invoice without entering a serial number, but looks like they did and now they cannot take it out from the inventory.
Thanks in advance
Jenny

Is the item managed by serial numbers "On release" or on "Every Transaction". If it is on release only, it would not need a serial number to be received, just issued.
If this is the case, it can be issued with a dummy number to get it out of stock, then the correction can be made & it can be brough back in correctly.

How much to purchase serial number for trial version of Premier Elements 11?

A trial versin of Adobe Premeir Elements 11 came with my Photoshop Elements 11. How much for a serial number, and what page can I go to get one?

javair
Good question. Here is my take on this.
Adobe is not selling Premiere Elements 11 anymore. It is now selling its current version Premiere Elements 12. And, its free tryout download from Adobe is for Premiere Elements 12. And, no problem purchasing a serial number for version 12 from them.
There should be no problem in trying out the Premiere Elements 11 as per the installation disc that came with the Photoshop Elements 11 purchase. But, when it comes to purchase of Premiere Elements 11, the only scenario that I am seeing is
Find an authorized reseller who still has Premiere Elements 11 stock. Purchase that product. And, then you have 2 choices
a. insert the serial number that comes with the purchased Premiere Elements 11 into the tryout already installed on your computer
or
b. uninstall the tryout, install your purchased Premiere Elements 11 with the serial number that comes with it.
A typical place that might have a Premiere Elements 11 in stock is Amazon. Have you looked there?
You could contact Adobe for input on the matter, but I suspect that you will get steered to purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

Contacting creative for warranty without serial number?

7Contacting creative for warranty without serial number?& Hi,
The right channel of my Creative EP-830 headphones doesn't work anymore and since I bought it only 8 months ago (in a Dutch store: www.bol.com), I want to claim my warranty. However, I don't have the packaging anymore and thus I also don't have any serial number. And for some ridiculous reason Creative has seemingly set up its site such that it is impossible to contact them through e-mail or phone without a serial number.
How can I contact them to claim my warranty in the Netherlands? I have not been able to find any phone number on the website, and every time I get to an e-mail form to contact them it wants the serial number of my headphones, which I don't have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially since this is not the first time I'm having broken Creative headphones within the warranty period.
Regards,
Tijl KindtMessage Edited by Quicky on 05-28-2009 03:43 [email protected]

Hello Quicky,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Please check your PM. Important thing is you should have your receipt because tech support needs it.
