Creative Cloud, Photoshop serial key invalid...help

Hi,
I have creative cloud. Within creative cloud I have purchased photoshop and acrobat xi pro.
I just did a clean reinstall on my mac. I downloaded creative cloud, logged in and went to the www.adobe.com to get the serial key for my photoshop.
When I install photoshop and enter the serial key I get a message displaying "The serial key is invalid".
Photoshop is quite expensive so I do not want to buy it again
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Hi Pal,
Welcome to the Adobe Forums!
There is no serial number for the Creative Cloud Membership.
The activation is being done via your Adobe ID/Email address.
I have verified your account and I was not able to retrieve any membership.
Would you have another email address?
If yes, could you please try to activate your subscription with that email address?
If still you are being asked to enter a serial number with the right Adobe ID, please follow instructions below:
1. Sign out - Sign in
Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
2. Clean up cached login user information - Step 2
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unknown-server-error-launching-cc.html
3. Reset your hosts file - Step 3
Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
Please, let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.
Arnaud.

  • Creative Cloud Photoshop serial issue

    Hello,
    I tried to install Creative Cloud (photoshop) on a second computer (iMac), but Photoshop was asking for a serial.
    The photoshop (trial) is now suspended on this computer and I can't work with it anymore.
    I searched the support forum for a solution, but nothing found:
    - i tried different language install
    - i tried the CS6 cleaner and installed again
    Can you help me?

    Hi Diederik81,
    Not sure if you already solved it but I noticed you ordered the English version -with that version the Adobe Application Manager language preference have to be set to English(International). That might be the cause. We have this support doc about the issue.

  • I have a "Creative Cloud ENT" serial number but I dont' know the product I should to download

    I have downloaded Creative Cloud and then InDesing CC, but when I tried to activate the product in the Adobe accounts web page I get the error "Invalid serial number"
    Perhaps I have installed a wrong product....

    Hi Francisco,
    First of all Creative Cloud ENT is an Enterprise volume serial number so it cannot be registered under retail account.
    There is different method for using CCE serial number, install and activating programs.
    Please refer the following help article on how to create serialized package for Enterprise customer.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/serial-number-based-licenses.html
    As you have already installed InDesign CC and Creative Cloud Desktop app then next you need to signed out from Creative Cloud first and
    create License File using Creative Cloud Packager.
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/create-license-file.html
    Run this license file on end user machine. it will fix the license issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Serial Key Invalid: Conspiracy?

    Hello,
    I have the full version of Creative Suite Premium. I uninstalled it from my computer, reformated the hard drive, and reinstalled Windows XP. I went to reinstall CS and it says my serial key is invalid. I have done this in the past and have never had a problem. I also have 5 other computers in the house and same thing on all of them. Yes it is the full version and I purchased it from Adobe. I called Abobe and have since talked to 4 people and a supervisor. None of them can help me becuase my version is not supported anymore. They all want me to upgrade to CS4 and I really dont get anywhere with anyone. I personally do not need the upgrade, I am ok with just using the version I purchased in the past. For the amount of money these programs cost I am suprised the customer support only works for the past 2 versions. So currently CS4 and CS3 are the only supported versions right now. But when CS5 comes out CS3 will no longer be supported. So support has nothing to do with a time frame, its purely based on new versions that are produced. I asked them that if I upgrade to CS4 and it still says serial key invalid, will I be under warranty to get my money back? They stated it is impossible not to work. They said they will just issue a new serial number and then it will work. However, right now they cannot issue me a new serial number for my old version becuase they dont support it. Now I have read about alot of people saying this same exact thing has happend to them, not just the fact that it doesnt work anymore, but the fact that Adobe in no way helps with this matter unless you pay for an upgrade. My opinion now is Adobe makes the codes invalid on purpose after a certain period of time to force you to upgrade. Maybe this is a little far fetched, but what other explanation can their be? Adobe has confirmed wih me on the phone I am in the system and the serial number I have is a valid number. They do not deny that, but I am pretty much at a dead spot here. I either upgrade or cant use the software that was purchased just a few years ago. What I would like people to post is not only ideas of anything else that can be done to resolve this issue, but your opinion to the invalid serial number idea and if this has ever happend to you and if you were forced to upgrade by Adobe...........Thanks.

    I can understand your frustration but the complaint loses a lot of its impact if it is embedded in so much padding.
    So the serial key is invalid and Adobe Customer Service won't help?
    Escalate it until you get a supervisor that talks sense.
    What do you mean "I also have 5 other computers in the house and same thing on all of them"?

  • Adobe creative cloud photoshop cc download

    when downloading adobe creative cloud photoshop cc ... you are asked to open with an application? What application?

    Adobe atg what is the exact error message you are receiving?  Also which operating system are you using?  Finally I would recommend reviewing Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html for information on how to install the Creative applications included with your Creative Cloud Membership.

    Adobe Creative Cloud - Photoshop CC / Photoshop CC (2014) i had first install Photoshop CC with some actualizations , I have install now Photoshop CC (2014) without desinstalling Photoshop CC... I would like stay only with the 2014 version but i don´t find more the desinstaller of old CC version and the 2 versions takes a lopt of space on my disk... is it normal or is there a necessity to stay with the 2 versions... Now I use only the 2014 version but the old version is always there ????

    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not. 
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.
    Please keep this in mind next time you post.  Thank you.

  • Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

    Hi, my Creative Cloud Photoshop latest version installs but will not launch. When I try it opens a page with a long error code report. I uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop several times with the same result. I downloaded and tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, as I found as a solution in the help forum, but since I uninstalled Photoshop before I ran the Cleaner Tool there are installed applications, and AdobeCreativeCloudDriver. Should I hit the clean all CS6 button at the bottom of the window. There is nothing including Photoshop in this list.
    --Creative Cloud Creative Cloud Photoshop installs but will not launch

    You will have to provide system info and the exact errors. Nobody can help based on vague "This doesn't work" posts.

    SOLUTION:
    Navigate to
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
    Locate sniffer.exe and rename it ~sniffer.exe
    SOLVED
    This solution was offered by Adobe chat support, after a very long and fruitless exchange. Apparently, the support tech finally asked around, and someone else in the room gave him the correct answer.
    Adobe: I understand you are unable to launch Photoshop CC 2014 as getting error Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working on your Windows 7 computer, is that right?
    Me: Correct
    Adobe: Thank you for confirming the issue.

    Adobe: Thank you for the information.
    Me: It's an AMD HD 6700 display
    Adobe: It seems there is an issue with your Graphic Card Drivers.
    Me: Well, yes
    Me: But only with PS CC, so the problem is with PS
    Me: I've updated the drivers
    Me: This seems to be a common problem
    Adobe: Please click on Start Button and type Device Manager and open Device Manager
    Adobe: Once you have Device manager open, let me know
    Me: Done
    Adobe: Now please expand Display Adaptor option and right click on  AMD HD 6700 and Select Properties

    Adobe: Then click on Drivers Tab
    Adobe: Click on Disable

    Adobe: Once you click on Okay, it will change your Screen resolution
    Me: You bet it did!
    Adobe: Now please launch Photoshop CC 2014 and let me know if you are able to launch Photoshop CC 2014 or getting same error.
    Me: Error not happening
    Adobe: Are you able to launch Photoshop CC 2014?
    Me: Yes
    Adobe: It means, issue is with Graphic Card drivers.
    Me: Yes, I knew that
    Adobe: I suggest you to contact Graphic Card drivers and check if you can re-install the drivers and use Photoshop CC 2014 with the Graphic Card
    Me: SO... PS CC 2014 is incompatible with the AMD drivers?
    Me: I've installed 4 versions already. I'm running the latest beta now
    Adobe: Could you please provide me with Full name of the Graphic Card?
    Me: AFAIK, PS CC2014 is the only program that causes this error
    Me: AMD Radeon HD 6700
    Adobe: Dan, issue is due to the Drivers, which are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Adobe: You may be able to use other products, however if drivers is not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014, you will not be able to use them with Photoshop CC 2014
    Me: I think that you have that backwards. PS CC2014 is not compatible with the drivers. It is the only known program to have this problem. Well documented.
    Adobe: Please contact Graphic Card provider and check for the drivers or re-install drivers and check.
    Me: I did, and they blame Adobe
    Adobe: Okay
    Adobe: Photoshop CC 2014 is not compatible with the drivers you have for the Graphic Card, there might be issue with drivers.
    Adobe: We have checked with the error logs as well., it show  Fault Module Name: atiocl64.dll 
    Me: Again, PS CC 2014 is the only known program to clash with atiocl64.dll
    Adobe: I can suggest you to check if you can use the product from new Account and use the product or check with Graphic Card provider for the drivers or a proper installation for Graphic Drivers.
    Me: Again, I've done all of that
    Me: They blame Adobe, and frankly, they are correct. The problem only happens with your product
    Adobe: Please use different Graphic Card on your computer and check if you can use it with Photoshop CC 2014.
    Adobe: You can follow below link to know more about supported Graphic Cards.
    Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq1.html
    Me: Can we elevate this to the next level, please?
    Adobe: We have disabled Graphic Card drivers to check if you can launch the product and you were able to launch the product without using the Graphic Drivers.
    Me: Yes.
    Me: So PS CC 2014 will not work with this card?
    Adobe: Issue is with Graphic Card drivers, we can use Product with graphic Card
    Me: So PS CC 2014 will not work with this card?
    Adobe: Photoshop CC 2014 is compatible with AMD/ATI Radeon, 6000 series.

    Me: No, Adobe has an issue. And I have an issue with Adobe.

    Adobe: Locate sniffer folder and rename it ~sniffer.
    Adobe: *Locate sniffer file and rename it ~sniffer.

    Adobe: Please rename  sniffer.exe to  ~sniffer.exe

  • Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc-) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5.

    We would like to deploy the Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc…) through Citrix XenApp 6 / 6.5.  Does anyone know if this is possible – are there any deployment guides.  I haven’t been able to find any so I’m assuming it’s not officially supported.
    Thank you
    Stuart

    We have a few of the products installed. You will find they work okay but nothing replaces working locally.
    We are, however, using the Enterprise version that is not tied to cloud accounts.
    We have had to play with the video setting of Citrix for better Quality. If you ratchet them up to high for someone that is doing high end editing your performance drops significantly. The screen refresh is blocky and no one doing this work would find it usable.
    We have it there fore simple editing and managing our media. I am looking for a much better storage solution that is sharable across platforms and locations.

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?
