  • CS2 asking for serial number

    I've been running InDesign CS2 on my Mac no problem for years. Today, I have turned my machine on, gone to open a CS2 document and I get this message asking for the serial number to continue installation. When I put my serial number in, it tells me its invalid. What's happened? The only thing I have changed recently is that I've downloaded a trial version of Lightroom 2. Could this have caused it?

  • InDesign CS 3 installs but doesn't run - doesn't ask for serial number-Windows 7

    Our InDesign CS3 worked perfectly with Win XP, but we upgraded to Windows 7 recently, and though it installs, it never asks for a serial number, and when I try to open the program - though it appears as a running process, it does not open.

    Your system details shows that you don't have any version of Flash installed. The one you "installed"(''install_flashplayer13x32_mssd_aaa_aih.exe'') I don't know where that is from.<br>
    You can install the correct version below:

  • Indesign suddenly asking for serial number and rejecting the one I have

    Hi,
    This question is very similar to that of act_writ from 19/10/2014 ("Sudden trouble opening InDesign - serial number rejected")
    - I am asking again because that question was not answered.
    We have InDesign CS6 on a Mac, purchased last year with a student license. It always worked and opened the program without asking for a login. All of a sudden yesterday it asked for a login and the serial number, but it rejects the serial number I have received when purchasing the product.
    I am still a student so it should not have expired.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am pretty desperate as the customer support agent I contacted could not help me.
    Thanks!

    A serial should be ok if it was ok.
    Exceptions are: If the serial was used several times in a way which is causing doubts of its legal use, then will Adobe deactivate it (e.g. use of several serial in connection with illegal copies) or when Adobe shuts down the activation server as it was done with CS2, but the user could replace it with a common serial.
    Normal, with a running program it will never ask for a serial, only if the user clean up his computer and delete some folder and files where activation files are hidden. But in that case the serial should be inserted with the next start or in the wort scenario you might uninstall all programs and install them again to be able to enter the serial.
    For non English (including UK and US and International) versions users the serial can also fail when the localisation files are deleted.
    Maybe that you exchange the serial with some other number or a number from another product which was bundled?

  • My account is active and paying per month for Acrobat Pro. Why I cannot open files and the screen asks for serial number?

    my account is active and paying per month for Acrobat Pro. Why I cannot open files and the screen asks for serial number?

    I don't work for Adobe but it seems to me you might be signing in to Acrobat with the wrong Adobe ID.
    Check the Adobe ID you use in Acrobat.
    Check this Adobe ID on Adobe's to make sure that it has an active subscription.

  • Trial version is asking for serial number ... helpp

    I selected "try" from the adobe CS5 page and when I am in the install window it asks for serial number.
    Why ???
    Now there is option to "try as a trial version" however it will not allow me to progress and select this option.
    Very Frustrating...

    Did you run any other trials already? in any case, try the suggestions listed in the respective section regarding licensing here and also have a look at the specific CS5 stuff.

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.
