Creative Suite is asking to revalidate my serial number.

My adobe creative suite is asking to validate the serial number but then when I give the serial number offline it says invalid serial number.  Then is also says that the request code is invalid. I'm near the end of the 72 hours for getting the response code is it not working because it sees  the request code as too old?  I think I still have about 4 hours left.  The bigger question is why is asking to validate a serial number on an offline machine I have been using for 4 years now this frustrating.

What version... cs3 or cs4 or ???
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers
Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC)

  • Creative Suite 4 upgrade will not accept serial number

    I purchased Creative Suite 4 as an upgrade to Dreamweaver MX and everything was fine until my laptop packed up. On my new laptop I have re-installed Creative Suite 4 but it will not accept the serial number.
    I suspect this is because I do not have Dreamweaver MX installed on my new machine. I no longer have my Dreamweaver MX CD or serial number so am unable to re-install it.
    After a lengthy discussion with Customer Services they could offer no advice and suggested I post a question on the forums for advice.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I can get Creative Suite 4 to accept my serial number.

    Support is wrong. Only they can fix serail number issues since only they have access to the databases. Try again and request a different operator.

  • Creative Suite CS5.5 not recognizing my serial number

    I have Creative Suite Design Standard CS5.5 and my Illustrator and InDesign crash on opening (error -108). I uninstalled both programs. I did the following:
    Installed Creative Suite Design Standard again from this link: Download CS5.5 productsComputer doesn't recognize the .dmg file (says it doesn't recognize disk image)
    Installed Illustrator separately and it doesn't recognize my serial number
    I'm assuming my serial number is only for the Creative Suite Design Standard and that I can't use it on individual programs, but why isn't my computer recognizing the disk file? I have enough storage on my computer for it. What should I do?
    This was the message I got originally (before I uninstalled everything).
    I even tried to download a trial version of Illustrator CS6 because I have a project due, and that crashes before it opens. There must be a way to get my programs back, especially as I paid for them in the first place.

  • Downloading the Creative Suite when I already have the serial number?

    Hi,
    I have already got the creative suite on one of my laptops (it has been paid for), but i want to download the creative suite on my new laptop, I already have the serial number.. but how do I do this?

  • Re: When I open my Creative Cloud application it asks me for my serial number?

    So I sign of for creative cloud,
    wow, this was a huge deal to get photoshop to install properly.
    now it asks me for a serial number (never successfully started). I've never been sent a serial number. Most of the links in this post are dead, there is no help or support that I can tell for any adobe product and I have to travel across town to another computer to use photoshop which I am paying for.
    "Learn More" goes really extensively into redemption codes, which I never received (was I supposed to, who the heck knows?)
    1. Was I supposed to receive a serial number or redemption code?
    2. Where was it supposed to come to?
    3. Is there a place to get real help?
    The forums are full of dead links, dead references and pissed off people as far as I can tell. All of whom have a different problem than me (sudden deactivation, not the program never worked). The program and the cc app don't provide any step by steps as to what are the normal steps to get things to work. I see people in this thread still begging for help a year later.
    Since Monday morning, trying to install photoshop in my new office has cost me about 6 hours, it seems to be a paid program with absolutely no help or support.
    How much more time do I waste trying to use this product? Is this what happens when a company buys all their competitors?

    Branching this to a separate discussion.
    Idontextistyt were you previously able to utilize your Creative Cloud Membership or have you always been prompted to enter a serial number?  Also which operating system are you using?  Finally are you on a managed network?

    The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • I paid for Lightroom and have been using it for over a year now. Ive just tried to open the app and it's asking me for a serial number.

    I purchased LR just over a year ago, has been working fine until I tried to open the app this evening and it's now asking me for my serial number. There is also no past records of product purchase in my CC account. Has anyone had this problem before and how can I fix it as I am now back on a 30 day trial.

    Have you subscribed to the creative cloud photography package?
    If you have, does Lightroom show as being available to install from the CC application manager?
    Did you update your Lightroom just before this problem started?
    What operating system?
