Cs 5 upgrade, no qualifying product found problem. solved!

hey guys. I posted earlier with the cs5 photoshop upgrade not recognizing my cs 4 serial #. wanted to give an update. Turns out the cs5 installer wasn't recognizing my installed copy of cs4 extended as a qualifying product. so after a nice chat with tech support, uninstalling cs4, uninstalling cs5, creating a clean login account, and zapping the PRAM, the same problem persisted. I contacted tech support once again (those chats connect fast!) and they told me the secret command+apple double click on the install screen method. that produced a challenge code, then they gave me the answer, and that circumvented the serial number problem. now cs 5 extended is happily installed. and it only took 2 hours! jeez, this feels like a windows install, it's not supposed to feel like this on a Mac!
anyway, happy endings are good. CS 5 PS is amazing.

Good to know the workaround, Enjoy your product

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or have an idea for a resolution?

No problems, then again I've done a manual install.
First question would be can you install the update manually on the target machine.
Also check the version of reader/acrobat installed on the target machine.

"no qualifying product found"

For the 800th time, I enter serial number to install Acrobat Pro 10 on my desktop, am told "no qualifying product", then enter the number of old software frm which I upgraded, but it still doesn't work. What gives?

One thing to check. What does "my products" say it is, Acrobat 9 Standard or Pro? And are you choosing the exact same product type for the qualifying product? Is there an error message?

'Serial Number you have provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer`?

I am trying to install cs6 design and web premium on my new laptop via the DL content on the adobe website. I have downloaded the 2 correct files which automatically extract everything, but when I get to entering the serial number, it tells me that my serial number is valid, but there isn't a qualifying product found on my computer. The drop down tab of alternative products doesn't even feature Design and Web Premium. Can someone shed some light on the issue?
Many Thanks

Your serial number is for an upgrade (as opposed to a full version = full price serial number).
An upgrade serial number must be supported by a serial number from an earlier qualifying version in order to prove to the CS6 installer that you are entitled to use the upgrade (cheaper) serial number.
For CS6 "earlier qualifying" usually means CS5 or CS5.5. Those should be the versions listed in the dropdown menu.
So do you have a CS5 or CS5.5 serial number?

I purchased today the Adobe Acrobat Professional XI - Upgrade Upgrade - English - Mac - Download. Onceiget started it confirms that the my serial number isvalid butthat a qualifying product could not be found on my computer. I do have Acrobat Professional Pro v8 from 2006 installed on my computer. Anyadviseon how ican resolve this?

after entering your xi pro serial number the installer checks your computer for that pro v8 product. failing to find it you will be presented with a menu that allows you to select your qualifying product (pro v8) and you then will be prompted for its (pro v8) serial number.
enter the correct number at the correct time and installation should proceed.

I am upgrading form Adobe Premiere CS5.5 to CS6 but its says a qualifying product could not be found

I am upgrading form Adobe Premiere CS5.5 to CS6 but its says a qualifying product could not be found

Did you first enter your Creative Suite 6 serial number followed by your Creative Suite 5.5 serial number for Adobe Premiere? Is Adobe Premiere CS5.5 a upgrade version as well? If so what did you upgrade from?

Just downloaded Photoshop CS6 - 'Qualifying product could not be found on this computer.' HELP!

Okay, title says it all. I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 (an upgrade from Photoshop CS3 Extended).
I went to enter the Serial Number, and when I did, a box appeared telling me that the 'Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer'.
It goes on to say: 'To use this serial number, you must own one of these qualifying products. Please choose the one you own and enter its serial number.'
The drop-down list under products includes: Adobe Photoshop CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended,
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
Where is Adobe Photoshop CS6...???
I am very concerned and would be very grateful to anyone who could help me with this problem.
Thank you.

Update: I decided to just re-enter the serial no. for Photoshop CS3 Extended and select the same option a couple more times, and suddenly it decided to work. To my great releif!
The only thing I can conclude is that the system just needed a few minutes to update itself (perhaps Adobe was waiting for the payment to be released by the bank?).
Either way, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my queary, Mylenium.

I get the warning: "The serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found

I get the warning: "The serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found on this computer." I have CS2 on my M:/ not my C:/, how do I get the Setup.exe to find it there?

Having a similar issue,
I purchased an acrobat upgrade for my Mac OS 10.7.3. I have the CS4 version and now I wanted Acrobat 10. Entered the first serial number no problem, the second serial number won't allow me to register the product. Even after a reinstall of Acrobat 9 just to verify the serial number was correct. Is there a stand-alone serial number that I am unaware of? I can't find it in the CS4 Design Premium collection packaging...
Gautham K, You make it sound like it's a one or the other when entering the old serial number. On my system you have a dropdown to choose the current version you have currently installed on your machine and then the serial. The "next" button stays greyed out.
Additionally adobe "call back" and "schedule call back" pages are down on the web site currently.

CS6 Design Standard Serial Number is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found...?

I am attempting to reinstall CS6 Design Standard after a computer upgrade, however the Application Manager won't take my serial number. In particular, when I enter the serial number, I receive the following error message:
Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
When I enter the serial number for one of the products that should be eligible for the upgrade, I receive the error message:
This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another.
I've attempted this on a couple of machines with the same result. I've also attempted to install CS6 Design Standard after installing numerous other products: CS5 Design Premium, CS5 Design Standard, CS3 Design Standard... and none of these were found as qualifying products.
I'm attempting this on OS X 10.9.3, on numerous MacBook Pro configurations from the past four years. It is plugged into the network, and the connection is active. I haven't seen anything in Console that is related.
Is there someone from Adobe that I can contact to get verification of this Serial Number, and what product it would be attached to?
Thanks,
shane.

The Serial Number you have is a upgrade Serial Number from a older version.
So when you try to install, you have to insert the Serial Number for CS6 Design Standard and on the next screen, you need to choose the old product from drop down list and enter the Serial Number for that.
It is not necessary to install the old application before installing CS6 Design Standard , all you need is the Serial Number for the old version.
If still you have issue, you can contact the support as mentioned by Steve.

Acrobat XI Standard qualifying product could not be found

I purchased an upgrade for XI standard, installed it, have restarted the computer (although not necessary), I am clicking on the application "Adobe Acrobat XI Standard", there is a message saying "Serial valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer", so there are two fields on that window, right side is for typing the serial number, left side is a menu to actually choose the right product which corresponds to that serial number. So, in that menu there is no choice for "Acrobat XI Standard". What do I choose then? (Have never registered or bought products in the past).

Thank you for sharing that, it had been puzzling me.
If you purchased it from Adobe, you can contact them and ask for a refund, since you haven't used it yet, assuming the purchase is just made. Once refunded you can buy the full product.

Upgrading to CS6 returns: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product"

I have CS5 and have been using it for about 2 years. The Serial number for CS5 it is registered to my adobe id.
So i decided to upgrade to CS6 today. I then registered that to my adobe id as well.
When i open CS6 and enter my new serial number, it tells me:
Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer
Which is strange because CS5 is currently installed and running on this computer
So it then prompts me to select a previous product that I own and enter the serial number for that. So I select CS5 and enter the serial number for my CS5 license.
However, it then tells me: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another"
But it doesn't tell may any further details. I.e. Why is it not valid?
Can you help?
Thanks!

Brazzers234 is the serial number for CS5 also an upgrade? The upgrade process is looking for a full version serial number. You can determine what type of serial number is registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have verified that the CS5 serial number is a full version serial number or your previous full version serial number is still not accepted then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care to verify the validity of the previous version serial number.

Error message " The serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product annoy be found on this computer" appears. Unable to reinstall CS5.5 on my macbook pro after Hard disk crashed & was replaced.

Error msg " The serial no you entered is valid,but a qualifying product cannot be found on this computer" appears. Can't reinstall CS5.5 onto Macbook pro after Hard disc crashed & was changed.

It is not clear if you understand what that message is indicating. It is telling you that you need to identify the older version of whatever CS5.5 upgrade you are installing to prove that you qualify for the upgrade. This could be CS5, CS4, etc.

Hi, I just installed CS6 master collection from order history and when I try to enter Serial Number it tells me that: Serial number you provided is valid, but qualifying product can not be found on this computer. Then it gives me options under drop down menu but Master Collection CS6 is the only one not appearing in a drop down menu.

Your CS6 must have been purchased as an upgrade. What it is asking you to select/provide is the name/serial number of the previous version you purchased that qualifies you to install and activate the CS6 upgrade version... this would be likely be one of CS3 thru CS5.5.
