Can't validate serial number?

I am in the process of moving from a PPC based server to an Intel based server. Both running unlimited versions of OS 10.4.8.
I saved the settings from the old server for each service by pulling the small icon just above the save button over to the desktop. Then I reloaded them into each service on the new server by dragging them into each window.
Within a few minutes, I get a message in the Server Admin > Settings window below the serial number fields that says:
"Invalid Serial Number: Could not validate serial number because of firewall."
I restarted the server and dissabled the firewall and everything works, but when I reactivate the firewall it happens again.
So, my question is, what rule in my firewall is keeping my serial number from being validated? And why would it work on my old server and not on the new one if the settings were brought over in the way I outlined above?
I have checked the new serial number on the Intel Mac and it is correct so I know it didnt get transfered from the old one.

I've done a clean install of the server and I didn't do any configuration other than the initial setup. The server works fine until I turn on the Firewall, then within a few minutes I get the same message again. When I restart the server it works for a few minutes and then happens again.
Rule 00001 does not appear at the top of the list in the firewall active rules on the Intel Mac Mini server.
When I switch back to my old PPC server running under a different serial number but the same IP address (by switching the Ethernet cable), everything is working as it always was and the rule 00001 is there as it should be.
Both the Mac Mini and the OS X 10.4 server are new and just out of their boxes.
This has me really frustrated. Anyone have any ideas?

Can't validate serial number for CS6

I am on a mac osx 10.8 and I just bought Photoshop CS6 (got the box/cd in the mail) and when I type in my serial it says
"We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended. Please contact Customer Support"
I spent 3 hours on the phone with Adobe Support and they were unable to solve and gave me a case number. Was hoping someone on the forum would have better ideas.
Seth

I am up to 6 hours of support calls and 2 escalated case numbers and no one can seem to help me. Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

Elements 13 can't validate serial number. Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

Hi. I recently bought Elements 13. Upon installation it requested I validate my serial number. But the program would not go online to do so. The message keeps repeating "please go online to validate your serial number". I have registered it on my adobe account, and uninstalled and reinstalled the program but the problem persists. My internet is just fine and my internet security is turned off. Please help because at the moment I can't use the program at all. I don't know why they have to make it so difficult...Cheers

PS Elements 12 Can't validate serial number

I am connected to the internet and still get an error stating connect to internet and validate your serial number.

On a clean windows machine, the hosts file should contain only this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
# For example:
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
If you have anything else, then you know that your machine is compromised by a hacker, or malware or a virus.
Of course, people who are developing websites (me included) then it might contain other things to make sure php, apache and mysql works correctly but for the majority of people it should be exactly like what I have posted above.
In this file, everything is commented out so it affects absolutely nothing on the system and connections to the outside world is an absolute certainty. All links should work in this scenario.

I can't connetcting to internet when i want validate seriale number

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

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

I've just migrated my Logic Pro 9.1.8 to a new Mac because my old computer crashed. They are asking for a serial number, but I don't have the install disks anymore. Is there someplace in the software itself that I can find the serial number?

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.

If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.
