Can't retrieve serial number

Purchased CS6 as stand-alone program, tried to retrieve serial number and was told I didn't need one. I DO NOT WANT Cloud!

I guess that's something new; I didn't realize Adobe changed to some kind of online serial number retrieval process - assuming that box is legitimate.  First I've heard of online serial number retrieval.
I wish you the best of luck with returning an opened software box to BestBuy.  I've run afoul of their restrictive return policies before and as a result I've stopped doing business with them.  Make sure you take along screen prints showing the failures you experienced.
This gives you another opportunity to consider that at $9.99 a month for the Photographer's bundle you could have a LOT of months of Creative Cloud subscrioption for the price of that $700 software (almost 6 years by my count, and you don't have to pay it all up front).  I don't know about you, but I have no idea whether computers/operating systems 6 years from now will even be able to run Photoshop CS6 software purchased this year.  Just a thought.

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!

  • Can't find serial number for iTunes

    Can't find serial number for iTunes! I need it and I can't find it... Where do you find it in the new updated versions?? Help!
    Thanks

    Apple provide limited phone support with their hardware, not iTunes. If it is an iTunes issue then describe it here and perhaps we can help. If it is a hardware issue and you have registered your product then you should be able to locate the serial number and check on your warranty/support options at https://supportprofile.apple.com/
