Creative Cloud Trial: Photoshop asking for serial

Hi there,
I've applied for the Creative Cloud Trial, I want to test it out before committing to it for our organization.
Every time i try and access CS6 it asks for a serial number and I can't use it.
Please advise
Thanks
James

I have same broblem. Host file is clear, no any entries on "Hosts" file.
Software activation work some Creative Cloud membership programs like Dreamwiever ( start program -> login Adobe account to get softeware activation ) and some not.. ( Photoshop & Acrobar X Pro )
Adobe Acrobat X Pro and Photoshop ask login Adobe Id, after that its try to activate software on Adobe.. After about 30 second, program just start to ask serial number.. look like Adobe cloud server fail to give correct serial number ?
Photoshop and Adobe Acrobat X Pro are latest version ( dowloaded direclty on Creative Cloud membership program downloader )
Why some Creative Cloud membership programs get activation code right away on Adobe and some programs just keep going to Trial mode after Adobe server file to give access to use program ?
How can i activate correclty all Creative Cloud membership programs ? Now Adobe server fail to give programs licence access to start and just turn program to trial mode and ask serial number.
Windows 7 ( fin ), 64-bit. There is nothing to do on Host file if some activation work alrady..

Creative Cloud Premiere pro asking for serial?

Why is it asking for a serial and says I'm on trial? I paid for the subscription and would like to know what's going on. Also what happens If I'm using the software on one computer and I try to use it on another computer at the same time?

Yup. Welcome to a club none of us want to be in. Look to =>

Creative Cloud Membership for Photoshop asking for Serial Validation. Can't Access the Program.

I purchased a Creative Cloud single-app membership for Photoshop and downloaded and installed it, but every time I try to open the application a window pops up asking for a serial number validation. If I click validate it says it can't connect to the internet, but my computer is connected. If I click "Connect Later" it loads for a brief moment then takes me right back to the serial validation screen. I can't get into the photoshop program at all. Now, if I understand correctly, I shouldn't need a serial number for it since it's a subscription, but I don't know why it's still asking me to validate it when I don't have one. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the program, and even talked to several agents, but 3 days after I've purchased it, I still cannot access the program. Please let me know what to do!

Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page
If yes
Some general information for a Cloud subscription
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work
Log out of your Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

Photoshop asking for serial number when I have an active Creative Cloud subscription

I purchased a year subscription to Creative Cloud and when I launch Photoshop and click on license software, it shows my correct adobe id but then asks me for a serial number. How can I fix this? I am on Mac OS X v. 10.8.2

Hi Cujodvm,
If you had a beta version of Photoshop CS6 you would want to uninstall it and reinstall through the Adobe Application Manager. So long as it was installed through the Adobe Application Manager you should only have to click the "License this software" button and sign in with your Adobe ID.
There is an issue with Photoshop CS6 specifically happening right now in which the product reverts to trial after the 3rd or 4th launch, our engineering team will be addressing this soon with another product update. I'm not sure if that is related or not.
We have this document about the issue

My Creative Cloud is in asks for a serial number when I try to login

Hi,
I have the same problem. We purchased creative cloud for teams on Friday. Now it is Monday. When I first started the apps I did not get any screen where it said that I was in trial mode. When I started the apps a second time the trial mode screen came up. I signed up but then it askes for a serial number. I already followed the steps from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html but I got stuck at step 4. I cannot click deactivate because it is in grey.
I upgraded from CS4 Standard. I tried we deactivating those programs but that did not work either.
The computer is Windows 7 Professional
Can someone help me?

Hi llsem16,
As you mentioned that you have Creative Cloud for Team Subscription, did you send an invitation to yourself from the Admin Console(Creative.adobe.com) and accepted the same. If yes then please try updating AAM from the below mentioned link and try launching the software again.

Also please check for any entries in Host file in this location
Run-drivers-etc-hosts. Please open hosts file using notepad and if you find any Adobe entries then run this Microsoft fix it to fix the issue.

Photoshop asks for serial number even when I sign in with my Adobe ID

I have a Creative Cloud membership and I have installed Photoshop and Illustrator. Illustrator works fine, but when I run Photoshop it asks me to license the software. I sign in with my Adobe ID, but then it tells me to enter a serial number. I've tried reinstalling etc, it does not help.

Having International English-only as an option is a business/legal requirement for Europe.
I understand the frustration but it is difficult. If you sign up as a Free Trial user (so you have not yet paid for International English) which language should we default to? We default to the language of the operating system. Perhaps not perfect but a choice is made. And this works over 99% of the time, except for multi-lingual users whose OS is not set to English and choose International English-only. And yes I empathize as someone who can work fluently on both English and Japanese systems.
Any more feedback you have on how you would suggest to improve things please let us know. I will make sure that the feedback reaches the correct teams here.

Adobe Creative Cloud application manager asks for daily login

Hi,
While I am I am at home or work, I can easily login to my Adobe Cloud services, in two months I'm going to be on a boat in the middle of nowhere with little, if any, Internet access. I will need to use this software offline for about a week and I need to nip this problem in the bud now.
Why am I being asked to login daily? This started after the credit card I was using for the monthly fee was stolen and I waited for its replacement. During that time my account was suspended but has since been updated, charged, and things should be back to normal with my new credit card but they are not.
Can anyone please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you,
john

well Jeff...nothing changed. I am leaving at 0600 tomorrow morning for 10 days and i have no use of the adobe tools when i am not connected to the internet. i told the rep khahil or whatever his name was and he said something along the lines of the problem with my account does not matter because i have a payment due in june and i asked him twice what that has to do with anything and he never replied.
i am sick to death of the good for nothing reps. they do not understand english. they do not seem to care (at least the ones I've had the misfortune of working with). when i tell one of them to call me at 10am CDT and he calls me not once, not twice but 4 times after I've told him when I am available and he cannot seem to do it.
I updated the installer. I have done everything I was told to do or suggested I do and this 'cloud' service is not what i am paying for. i am paying for something that works as advertised and this comes no where near it. no where does the plan's fine print say that i must maintain a constant connection to the internet for the tools/applications to work.
no where does the terms and conditions say that i need to log in every time i reboot my computer or lose my internet connectivity. if this is the future of adobe...i am not looking forward to it. forcing all users to this rental software model is insane especially when it does not work...and mine clearly does not work.
so now i am leaving on a trip with no lightroom and no photoshop and after i began working on this a month ago with you. i made the mistake of trusting your technical support people to know their business and to handle your clients with some sense of urgency.
when i return, i will be calling your executive offices and i will tell them in detail how frustrating this whole process has been which has only been aggrevated with your poor technical support team. Jeff...I honestly feel like you're the only Adobe representative that I have talked to up to this date that actually gives a flying flip about my experience. the people i have been handed off to both in chat, on the phone, and the other tech i've talked to on this forum who told me that my problem "doesn't matter" and never responded to my last question posted yesterday afternoon, clearly do not care about anyone.
count me as VERY UNHAPPY with Creative Cloud as a product and my opinion is it is a failure and a waste of my money. I should have bought the disc version and not gone down this 'rental software' route.

Desktop creative cloud app - keeps asking for sign in

Hi,
I have recently signed up for the Photoshop creative cloud package. I can use my Photoshop and lightroom fine but when I try to use the creative cloud icon on my desktop, it asks me to sign in which I do. It then says you have been signed out please sign in again. Which I do, over and over again. It just won't sign in. My log in details are fine as I can use them with my Adobe account without problems. It's just CC on my desktop. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but still get the same problem. I've looked on line and seen members encouraging members to delete certain files and alter files etc. But when I look for them on my machine it comes up files not found. I've made sure that the 'show hidden files' is ticked but still no result.
Can anyone help with this please?
Thank you.
Jill

Hi GautamBahl,
Thanks for your help - I looked for C:\Users\<user account>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder as it said in the article you recommended - but it came back 'not items match your search' - I have made sure in the settings that 'show hidden files' is ticked.
Any suggestions please?
Jill

Hi Ckxian,
Please refer the following help document on the error message " You have been signed out"
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
If it does not resolve the issue then try to rename the OPM.DB file from the following location.
Win: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
Note: Please make sure your login ID does not contain any special character in it.
Please let me know in case still having problem.

Creative Suite 6 now asking for serial number after minor updates

I bought the full version of Creative Suite 6 on release.
Just recently after installing some (but in typical Adobe fashion not all) updates, apps from the suite start up by saying that I am in a 30 day trial!
I have to then press the license button and reenter my serial number.
This never happened prior to the last few weeks.
I tried asking about it on the online chat since Adobe's phone lines are jammed.
This was very much like talking to a wall.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks,
Lance

Yep, me too - there's a thread about this here too...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1131851?tstart=0
2 out of our 4 iMacs running CS6 are reverting to trial status every morning - despite saying it's accepted the serial number properly, up it pops the next day again! Doesn't just affect Photoshop CS6, we had the same message after launching Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 too. Must be one of these updates that popped up last week, I do wish Adobe tested these things properly before rolling them out to paying customers!!
SORT IT OUT, ADOBE!!!

Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line. There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password. That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
I am now on line and happy. Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.
