CS3 trial not accepting my key

I've had the CS3 web premium suite since 2007, but I've always had problems with Flash, though it's never been a huge problem until now. I don't know for sure, but I suspect there might be a problem with the disk, so I'm trying to see if I can fix the problem by downloading the Flash CS3 trial and activating it with my CS3 suite key. I downloaded the trial and it installed corrected as far as I can tell, but it keeps rejecting my key, saying that it's not valid, even though the CS3 suite is already activated on my computer and, even if it wasn't recognizing that, I still have one activation left. And I did make sure I typed it in correctly.
I also tried looking for a complete CS3 suite trial, but that doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Anyone familiar with this problem or have any ideas?

The only thing I have to offer is my notes regarding where I looked to solve my need to reinstall CS3. I do not know if this applies to your situation or not, but in my case, the license suddenly seemed to end after years of using it and I was unable to reinstall. Following the first item listed below led to a solution (I believe)...

Iphone 4s IOS6 WAP Connectivity Issue : Not Accepting Password Key (Australia, Sydney)

Hi Everyone,
I posted a similiar topic, but lost my thread for it.
I have numerous Iphone 4S's at my work and a few of them were upgraded to IO6. I work in IT so i thought i'd give it a test and couple of staff also upgraded to IOS6.
I have a Netgear WG102
Firmware: 5.03 is the latest
WEP Security
Network Authentication: OPEN
Broadcast SSID: Yes
Data Encryption 64bits WEP
Wireless Client Security Separation Disabled
Operating Mode: Auto - 8020.11g/802.11b
Data Rate Best
Output Power full
Country Australai
IP Address, Subnet, gateway and DNS addreses applied acdordingly
The FEW who have upgraded to IOS 6 are unable to connect to my WAP including myself.
I have tried Backup/Restore Iphone 4s
RESET Network Settings
Selected FORGET this network and attempted to reconnect, still doesnt accept the key
Tried to Manually select the WAP and manually apply the config details as opposed to automatically accepting details when it accepts the key
I have recreated the same ABOVE config profile on the WAP device, just a different key and no success.
i have also taken the Iphone4s of mine to the Australian, CBD, George St Apple store where they wiped the phone. We got the phone back to factory, connected it to "THEIR" WiFi. The answer i got from the Manager at the time was "If it works here, there's no fault with the phone"
I still have the majority of my staff using IOS5 which im not permitting them up upgrade for the above reason
I was suspecting FIRMWARE versions being different upon upgrading to IOS6
I found Modem Firmware: 04.12.02 or higher seemed to have no problems connecting to my WAP, if it was lower then the phones werent connectning.
Im reading on other posts people are suspecting DNS, Wireless Config setup.
I have created a SSID with NONE security to connect and still says Unable to Join the network
Tried WPA-PSK
Tried WPA2-PSK : AES Encryption
Tried WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK with TKIP + AES Encryption
Added MAC Address of my Iphone to be TRUSTED
I enabled Super-G Mode for proprietary support of 820.11g
I can confirm the two Iphone 4S's i have problems with at the moment were "Problem FREE"
At this point the only thing i havent done it downgraded Firmware of the device
Message was edited by: Shannon.Roberts

Hi Matt,
Im from Sydney Australia, that version i dont think is an option how the below is for me
WG102 Firmware Version 5.0.3 (All regions except North America)
The above is what i have, however the below is the next one down
WG102 Firmware Version 5.0.1 (All regions except North America)
How far of a FIRMWARE downgrade did you go for yours ?
Hoping i can try this with one pot shot instead of different firmware trials
Thanks

Why will my downloaded Photoshop CS 5.1 not accept the key code?

Downloaded Photoshop CS 5.1 will not accept keycode.
I purchased a new computer and loaded the subject application. The key code will not be accepted to activate the application.
The message I get is that the key code is correct but it will not activate.
Windows 8 if that matters.
Thanks,
Craig

Adobe email will not accept verification key

Hi, I use photoshop elements 7 and have been using adobe email for sending attachments. I recently changed my email address and for the life of me cannot get adobe email to accept a verification key for my new address. It's always invalid. In organizer I went to edit, preferences, sharing and was able to change the address. I have put in my verification code over and over and it will not accept it. What am I missing? I turned off my firewall and that didn't work either. It worked fine with my previous email. This is getting so frustrating and adobe.com is worthless in getting any help. Please, anybody, do you have any suggestions with step by step instructions? The steps on adobe.com did not work. I am so frustrated!

Hi,
Try following and see if it helps :
1. Launch preferences dialog
2. Go to Adobe Partner Services
3. "Clear Online Services Data" and 'Reset Accounts'

CS3 trial not installing!

Hi,
I have just performed a clean install of Leopard on my iMac and am trying to install a trial of Photoshop CS3 I downloaded directly from the Adobe website.
Shared components install correctly but the actual Photoshop application fails to install every time!
I am currently performing a system update to see if this will solve my problem, I suspect it won't but will keep you posted!
Can anyone help?!
Thanks,
David

David,
Glad I could help.
>It seems I have a corrupted disk (which would account for why my machine greys out from time to time with a message asking me to restart it,
If Disk Warrior and Disk Utility cannot fix the problems, I would be concerned as to the integrity of your drive and data. Actually, I would be very concerned here. You may have a failing hard drive.
My recommendation: as your system appears to be in bad shape, try and create a fresh, clean drive -- the only way to be sure that all corruption is being wiped out, and to be reasonably sure that your hard drive works properly. Back up all data. As in immediately. Do it again (you should not have just one set of backups).
Pull out all of your original software and system discs. Wipe out your drive (the long formatting routine which will mark and segregate bad sectors); not the quick erasure of file and data addresses. If this cannot be done, or cannot be done on the first pass, look into needing to replace a failing hard drive -- a real possibility.
If you can format the drive without a hitch, then one by one, install all your apps from the ORIGINAL discs or downloads and all updates. Periodically during this process, particularly if you have a lot of stuff to install) boot off your System disk and repair permissions (yes, they can go south as you install software) and do it again immediately after installation.
Last, restore all your files from your backup and repair permissions again. If you have a failure at any stage here, consider that your drive or some other component of your computer is bad.
While it is possible that your system is "merely" very badly corrupted, I'm very concerned about a greyed-out screen.

FCS upgrade accepts upgrade key but does not accept original key?

I am trying to install FCS2 upgrade on a new MacBook Pro
I have the upgrade key as well as the original key
During the install it accepts the upgrade key and then a message appears asking for the original key
I enter the original key and get the message it is an invalid key
I have checked the original stickers the the characters of the key and they are exactly as entered

The most common issue is not entering the number exactly; e.g.; using a lowercase Lop an uppercase i for a number 1 or using a number 0 for for an uppercase letter O (or vice versa).
Also note that serial numbers from academic or not-for-resale versions are NOT eligible for upgrading. The older serial number must be from a legitimate retail version.
If you have a retail serial number and you're absolutely sure that you've entered it correctly, find your proof-of-purchase for the older version and contact Apple for a replacement serial number: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861

Clean reinstall XP but cannot register O/S - Microsoft does not accept product key

Hardware : Lenovo ThinkPad X60,    Type 1707-CTO,     Product ID : 1707-W4G
Software :   Windows XP Pro version 2002 with SP3
I purchased my laptop second-hand and did not have the installation CD. I borrowed a friend's CD and did a full reinstall . The reinstall went well, but I cannot register the license. Microsoft always returns error message saying product key invalid.   I am sure that the product key is valid - the sticker is still on the unit. I finally got in touch with Microsoft. They told me I would need a recovery CD from Lenovo. Is this correct? What do I have to do to get a recovery CD ? Any help would be appreciated - only a few days remaining to register.

Photoshop CS3 does not accept serial number

I have been running a valid copy which I registered when I installed. Recently get a message to uninstall, re-install then contact support. When contacting support, they say the SN is invalid and refer me here. I registered the SN three years ago, and it is no longer there. I have CS3 Dreamweaver, and InDesign which the registration is no loger in the myProducts file either. I haven't tested, but am assuming I will have a similar problem with them as well.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

OP you wrote the serial number worked three years ago when you install CS3 on your machine. Your either a lair, telling the truth, a pirate or have a failing memory and are not installing from the same pirate media used three years ago. I do believe the serial you have is invalid as that is what Adobe keeps telling you. Now if your being truthful should now know you were duped, were taken.
I'll buy hardware off ebay for I think selling stolen hardware wouldn't be common on ebay sellers would need a source of stolen hardware to have a supply to sell. Software is a different matter its easy to replicate cracked software any computer or copier can be used.
If you get something new get it from the right place. If you get something from Adobe buy from Adobe retailer prices will not be much lower and Adobe records will show your legal user.

Ready cache does not accept activation key

some half year ago everything was running perfect. Now suddenly the Ready Cache software is disabled.
Have Win7 x32 and version 1.0x running. All later versions I could not install. Any attempt ended in a blue screen and I had to go back to a restore point. Otherwise I would upgraded to a later version which does not request the activation key.
Now my question:
Can I extract any ini file or reg key from a backup image of the time when it still worked to get it running again or can the SanDisk Support do something with my Key so that I can activate the software again? I must add that I had - for test purpose - already installed the device once in my laptop. Mybe this is why my key is marked as "disabled"?
Thank you for any clue. Hardy

Key isn't required anymore, hasn't been used for a while. Grab the latest software from here http://mp3support.sandisk.com/ReadyCache/ExpressCacheSetup.exe and install. It won't need/ask for a key. From the support page Note: Version 1.2.0 and higher of ExpressCache does not require an activation code; please disregard the activation code insert that came with your product.

Server 2012r2 KMS host will not accept any keys except that for Server 2012

I am attempting to upgrade our infrastructure to server 2012r2 from 2008r2. I've have run into issues with the KMS volume activation for our clients.
I've installed the Volume Activation Services Role and added a 2012r2 KMS key fine. Everything looks to be setup OK in DNS etc. However when I try and install additional KMS keys for Office 2010/13 Windows 7/8 the wizard tells me the key is invalid.
"Invalid product key or license mismatch"
I've tried installing the Key Host management hot fixes but these just report not for this operating system. I guess am I am missing something or misunderstanding but what?
Any help appreciated, I don't want to have to leave the 2008r2 running just for licensing.

OK worked it out.......
