Can't obtain serial number

Whilst at university I found out I was dyslexic and was given support to help with my studies.  Being on a graphic design course I was given the adobe creative suite to put onto my new laptop.  It is the student version and was already downloaded onto my laptop when I received it.  I can't remember if I had to validate it and prove I was a student to get the serial number or if it was done through my university.. either way I don't have the serial number as i would have either received it through my university email which is no longer validated as I just graduated or the company who I received it from have it.
I recently tried to update my mac to mavericks, but something went wrong and as a result I had to clear my entire hard drive which sucks.  Now I have it up and running again I reinstalled adobe but can't get a hold of my serial number, i have everything else, is there anyway to get a hold of it?!?!?

Have you tried contacting the school?  If you have no recall of even installing the software then it might be difficult to convince anyone that you own the rights to use it.  Here is a link you can use to chat with Adobe support to see if they can offer any information.

  • Can I obtain serial number of S&T?

    Hi.
    I'm a student of university in Japan, and i'm considering to purchase the Student and Teacher Edition of the CS6 Design via U.S. Adobe.
    The reason why I wanna English CS6, but in Japan i couldn't buy CS6 English ver. student price!
    Then, i have a question.
    If i get a CS6 S&T ed. via U.S. Adobe web site, can i obtain serial number of S&T?
    Of course, i don't have student ID card of U.S. university, .edu e-mail address, but i have international student ID card, and ac.jp e-mail address.
    Hope you can help me.
    Thank you.

    Do your other devices use the same appleid as your macbook?
    Just asking cos they may log you in automatically and you may not be seeing the correct info.
    Apart from that, sorry I don't know.  I guess you'll have to contact Apple and get it from them.
    Did you sign up for apple care?  The emails regarding that will have the serial number listed.

  • Where can I get serial number for Lightroom to start using it?

    Hello. I have just created Adobe CC account and purchased a Photography membership plan for Individuals. The price is 9,99 per month and this sum has already been taken from my card. On this page (https://accounts.adobe.com/plans) I can see the confirmation that I have obtained this plan.
    Now I want to use Lightroom but it asks me for serial number. After reading some help I found that I should get serial number from here - https://www.adobe.com/account.html. But on this page it says that "You have no registered products.". So I see no serial number.
    So there's a simple question - where can I get serial number for Lightroom to start using it?

    Jeff, thanks for your answer but it doesn't help. I've successfully passed all checks on page Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later . My internet connection is ok, hosts file ok, certificates ok, etc. It's not a source of the problem.
    I've found that on page Adobe ID it says that I have free membership. Somehow it turns that my purchased Photography membership plan is not there at all. in order to proof that I really purchased it please see screen from my internet-banking page below:
    Why it is displayed only free membership in my account page and not Photography subscription which was already paid?

  • Can I find serial number or mac address of ipad if I know only Apple ID on it?

    Can I find serial number or mac address of ipad if I know only Apple ID on it? Ipad and macbook air were stolen and I do not remember their serial numbers.

    No, the MAC address, the unique set of letters and numbers that identify the network interface in the device, will not help you, or anyone else, locate a stolen iPad. If you didn't set up Find My iPad on the device before it was stolen, then there will be no way to track it. The police typically will only want the serial number of the stolen items so they can identify them should they manage to find the thief.
    If none of the methods suggested by the others - receipts, iTunes, registration with Apple, packaging - can provide you the serial number, then there's no way you can obtain that information

  • I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12. Logged in and can not get serial number. Says it is incorrect. Going in circles.

    Can't get serial number for Photoshop Elements. I'm logged in. I have a redemption code and also codes on the back of the box. nothing works and am running in circles. I want to install and use it and can't because I can't get the correct serial number. On the front of the box it says use the card (with redemptiom code to receive the serial number.HELP!!!

    Dear Brian,
    I activated my product in August of 2014.  I had it a few months, October, when my computer crashed.  Therefore I had to go back to Adobe tell them what happened, and then until December I had noticed that it said that I had a trial copy.  I was not worried, as I had the serial number.  it was working, but in January I got a message that my "trial" copy had expired. 
    At that time I had contacted Adobe and was told that because it was beyond the 3 months, they would no longer help me.
    Therefore, at one point, when the computer crashed, I had not deactivated the program.  But Adobe had gotten it working for me again. 
    I do not know what happened between October and December to have changed the software from a real copy to a trial copy.
    Now to your patient questions.
    As you wrote, that is what happens to the point of getting the trial copy, but when I follow the process through, I get a message that my "trial copy has expired".    When I go the the editor, the whole process loops again, sign in, trial copy, licence page, add serial number, then the message that the trial has expired.
    When I got that message the first few times months ago, I went back to the Adobe web site and downloaded another copy.  (I have done this numerous times)  It still said that I had a trial copy and that it had expired, there is a box to licence this software, when I click that, I have to sign in again, This time I also had gone to the Adobe web site signed in and left it open, while I put in the serial number, hoping that would help (have also tried that before).  It waits and then the Editor/Organized box comes up again.  When I go to the Editor, it tells me that this is a trial copy which has expired and it starts all over again.
    I was so frustrated, that I waited a couple of months to try it again.   The thinking was that there was some glitch that would work it self out and I could again  down load a clean copy of the original, not a trial.  (I do not know how I keep getting a trial copy of PSE 12, as it is not even offered on the site.)
    The crazy thing is this morning when I turned on my computer, I had an update for the Adobe PSE 12 and Camera Raw.  Probably because I had downloaded a copy again. 
    When I go the the web site to down load a copy of the PSE !2, I am doing it from the My accounts/ products page and downloads.  I have left the web page open to copy the serial number from that page, although it always matches my notes. 
    ThanksT

  • Purchased Elements 12 and Premiere Elements online/want to reload, but can't find serial number readily

    During last year, I purchased Elements  and Premeire Elements 12 online from Adobe.  Want to reload both, but can't readily find serial number.  How do I check the date products were purchased and where the serial number is?

    Hi,
    Depends where and how you purchased them.  I don't believe you can get the serial number / product key out of the software at all.  If you bought from Adobe online you can log into your account and should be able to get them from there.

  • Can a Windows serial number be used on a Mac for CS6?

    I recently purchased CS6 for a Mac and the seller accidentally sent me a Windows package. If I download CS6 from Adobe, can this same serial number be used to activate the programs on my Mac or do I need a Mac package with matching serial number? Thanks in advance.

       I also downloaded LR4. It was a paid app - $79.99. I wasn't assigned a serial number
    Correct.
    Mac app store software does not contain serial numbers since they are linked to your AppleID.
    which means I can't upgrade to LR5 through Adobe.
    Yes, you can.
    Purchase the upgrade.
    When when you run the LR5 installer it will see you have the Mac app store version and it will get a serial number from Adobe to use for LR5.
    Very helpful - if there were a serial number!!!!
    There will be a serial number WHEN YOU RUN THE INSTALLER!
    It will get one from Adobe.
    You're welcome!
