Creative Cloud registration page won't accept the serial number from my email

I have previously purchased Adobe Lightroom 5 from the Adobe download site and use it on my Mac Mini.  I have recently joined the Creative Community to access Lightroom Mobile, which may not the the panacea I was hoping for.  So I re-downloaded Lightroom 5 from the Creative Cloud app to link it to my Creative Cloud account.  When trying to register the new one, it asks for my ORIGINAL serial number from my Adoble email.  When I enter this, it says it is invalid.  Its the only serial number I've received.  How do I get to enter and register the new product?
Regards,
Colin Begg

  • Have Adobe Standard CS 5 (Student), and would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud (Non-Student) - won't accept my serial number for special pricing for existing users

    I currently use Adobe Standard CS 5. It was bought with the Education discount. I would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud and see that they have special pricing for existing customers that use past versions of Creative Suite. I am no longer in Education, so I will have to buy a full version. This is fine, but it won't accept my serial number for the discounted pricing. Is there something else I should be doing?

    There are no serial numbers with CC and it's not in any way relevant to the matter at hand. There are no extra discounts just because you already own a CC license.

  • Toshiba.co.nz Support page won't accept my serial number

    Hi Forumites,
    The Toshiba Support Centre at toshiba.co.nz > Support won't accept my serial number of my Satellite P840T as valid. And if I try and get to the downloads for my laptop, by entering a category of "Computers", the site just says "Loading Families..." on the next line down, and stalls forever.. something broken here.
    I also noticed that unless I have my browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the Toshiba site (which obviously uses Cookies) won't remember me long enough for me to get from the login page to the "Post new Listing" link on the Forum home page. It asks me to log in again.
    I've tried two browsers, IE and Chrome, with the same results. I think the forum site is poorly designed if it won't work with default browser settings.
    Even with browser security settings turned to the lowest possible settings, the site still forgot who I was when I went from the Satellite P series forum to this one.
    Just some feedback on my experience with the forum so far.

    In the past I searched drivers using part number on second option and it worked perfectly. Maybe is there some problem with the page. Try few hours later. Who knows why this happen.

    Are you sure it is the license key that is printed on the Jewel case of the CD?

  • Bought Aperture 3 Upgrade. Won't accept my Serial Number from Aperture 2...

    I have Aperture 2 and my Aperture 3 Upgrade will not accept the serial number no matter how many times I try it. Please help. Why the he11 doesn't Apple have easy contact numbers for situations like this?
    Thanks.

    I assume you are entering the characters correctly with all letters in uppercase and all dashes included. If so, I’d call Apple.
    By the way, before I upgraded, I renamed the version 2 Aperture program Aperture 2.1.4. This way when I installed my upgrade it created a new version 3 Aperture program, “Aperture”. I wonder if following this technique will get around your problem with the version 2 serial number.

  • My licensed copy of CS6 downloads but won't accept the serial number

    I have a licensed copy of Photoshop CS6 (supplied only as a download by Adobe).  Following a computer crash, I needed to re-install CS6, the download completed, the software then asked for the serial no. which I duly entered, and despite the fact it is the registered number for this software (also shown in our Adobe account and from my own records), adobe will not register it, instead a window pops up after entering the required details, claiming that the registered number is not for the product it just downloaded.  This is a total contradiction of what is clearly shown on their own log of my purchases, which show exactly the same number entered for my copy of CS6.  Of course, despite the fact I only bought the damn software 9  months ago, they do not allow access to support in order for them to correct something that is clearly Adobe's own bug.  Basically, I have bought a very expensive program and they, in their wisdom have created a problem that means I can no longer have access to it.  This is daylight robbery and a shameful way to treat loyal customers who have spent thousands of pounds over the years for licensed copies of Adobe software.  All I ask is that a customer service advisor, correct the fault and register my copy with the number it has on record, because, for some reason, it won't let me do it.  I have today worked with a kind Microsoft technician for 6 hours, trying to re-install my licensed copy on to my restored version of windows to no avail, Adobe really do need to give people access to their own staff so that registry errors like this can be solved.  Lets face it, a forum is not going to be able to fix this one is it.

    I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS6 (standard) from Adobe, once finished it then opened a window asking if I want it activated as a 30 day trial or as a licensed copy and once I choose the latter. It requested the serial number, so I entered the serial number applying to the licensed version I have of Photoshop CS6 (the same program I downloaded) which was then rejected, with an error message that stated that, although the serial number is valid, the program cannot be found on my computer (that is a mystery to me, given that it has just spent half an hour downloading it and has followed the download with the prompts), I was then prompted to choose from a drop down menu below.  The drop down menu shows the extended version of Photoshop CS6 but not the standard version that I bought last May, effectively preventing me from installing my own version of the software.  Is this a way that Adobe have of forcing everyone into ongoing contracts on cloud.  I just bought the program, I don't want to go on cloud.  Adobe's security was breached before and why should I be forced to pay twice.
    After helping me reinstall windows 8.1 on to my computer an Engineer from Microsoft struggled with this all afternoon and most of this evening, and even he could not get it to work, so what chance have I got if he can't do it and Adobe refuse to help.

  • Install PSE10 on 64bit Win7 won't accept the serial number, organizer installs - editor doesn't

    After trying this then uninstalling & trying again I read through the installation guide online.  It seems to indicate that as I have only bought Photoshop Elements 10 (not Premiere) the disk I am using is a Pre-Trial disk.
    This wasn't advertised on any of the blurb about the product - and looking at the list of what is on each disk for the premiere version - the Win 7 disk looks like it is the full copy.
    When I start the "trial" version it only starts the organizer and there is no option to enter the serial number info at this stage.  Trying to open the editor from inside the organizer tells me I need to install from the DVD but when I tell it to go ahead - nothing happens.
    What are my options now?

    You can download the trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 from Adobe's Web site and install it.  When you open the Editor, enter your serial number from your purchased version.

  • Basic and frustrating: Pages will not accept my serial number

    My wife's iBook's hard drive recently died. We were able to save most things with Data Rescue even though the disk won't mount (bravo Data Rescue). Until she gets a new internal drive she would like to use the computer with an external Firewire drive, which has all her docs on it.
    That's fine, but Pages, installed on the external drive, won't accept the serial number that came with the software and that worked before. Come to think of it, I now recall there was some problem the FIRST time. I was on the phone with Apple for quite some time when finally the guy said something that made a difference, but I can't remember what it was. All I know is that I have entered many serial numbers for software, and iWork is the only one that hasn't just worked. Anyone know what the trick is, or how I can get another number?

    Bob,
    I think to start I have more questions than answers.
    Are you started up from the external drive you're trying to run iWork from? Are you logged in as an administrator when trying to enter the serial number? Are you trying to enter the serial number for iWork '05 or '06? The font used for the serial numbers with iWork '05 was a very bad choice & led to a lot of confusion. I wrote a user tip, iWork: serial number tip, that addressed most of the common problems. Other than the confusion of letters & numbers, the other possibilities are probably applicable to iWork '06. Try these & then post back if it works or not. If it doesn't, your answers to my initial questions might lead us to the solution.

  • Trying to update final cut, won't accept my serial number

    WHAT THE--??
    My copy of Final Cut is legit, but I'm running 5.1.4. I need to update, but it won't accept the serial number. The version isn't originally registered to me (someone gave me one of their installs), but my copy is. Has this happened to anybody else?

    apologies,
    I have gone on the FCP update page on the apple website. It asks for the serial number: when I enter the serial number that is displayed on the "about final cut pro" window, I am told that the serial number does not exist. This has happened at least a half dozen times. I have entered it exactly. I am running 5.1.4.

  • Won't accept my Serial number PSE11

    I'm trying to install PSE11 on a Windows XP machine.  It won't accept the serial number, I'm sure there is no typo.
    What do I do now?
    Carl

    My copy of PSE11 was already registered but I have installed it on two computers.  I thought that you could have it on 3 if you only used it one at a time.  I see that it is 2, so that is my problem.  I am trying to get an old program to work on an XP computer which will not run on my Windows 8.  The program requires that a copy of photoshop be available on the XP computer. I'll try to install a trial version on the XP so that I can run this test.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Received a message in Pagermaker to "reinstall to personalize this program" and it won't accept my serial number, NOW WHAT?

    I have been using Pagemaker and have many important files but now I cannot get into it because it won't accept the serial number.  I checked with Adobe and they authorized that the serial number IS valid.

    "reinstall to personalize this program"
    I've seen many PM error messages in my time but I can't recall seeing that one.
    As Claudio said, Mac or Win? OS version? Complete error message(s)? And which version of PM?
    Is there a code in the corner of the message, like 1234:5678 ?
    Better still, can you post up a screen capture of the error box?
