CS4 Acrobat Serial number not working on reinstall (new Mac)

I'm using Acrobat as part of CS4. It was a gift from a fellow creative friend. The install worked back in 2009 on my previous Mac. For some reason, the serial number no longer works when I go to run Acrobat. It's been rejecting the serial number on the CS4 package for months, now.
Help? I hardly use the software (I've a toddler) but I do need Acrobat's functionality once in a while. Thanks in advance!

Did you actually install the whole suite or is the Acrobat running on a separate serial? Ever had any trial versions on the system?

  • Active CS4 serial number not working on a new MacBook Air

    Im trying to install/activate CS4 on my new MacBook Air and the serial number is being denied. The serial number is a school site number and has worked on my old laptop, just not my new one. Any solutions to fix this issue would be appreciated!

    We can't answer serial number questions in the forums. You'll need to use web chat or call Adobe Customer Service, sorry.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

  • Why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    I would recommend utilizing a different web browser and contacting our support team directly as suggested by KGlad in message #6.

  • I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • I had to purchase a new computer. My Photoshop serial number does work on my new computer.

    I ha t to purchase a new computer with Windows 8.0. Now my PHOTOSHOP serial number does work on the new computer how do I fix this problem?

    Hello James,
    I am sorry, but CS3 is not compatible with Windows 8.
    Creative Suite 3 has been released Early 2007 and Windows 8 has been released Mid 2012.
    When Windows 8 came out, we had just released our Creative Suite 6.
    CS3 under Windows 8 may be installed, activated and used, that may happened for some customers, but we know due to the difference of the files system of these 2 products that it is unstable.
    You could downgrade your operating system to Windows Vista or Windows 7 to have the CS3 working.
    There is also an option to purchase a first-year discounted version of the new Adobe Creative Cloud membership due to your ownership of the CS3.
    If you wish to have more information, please go to https://creative.adobe.com/plans
    Thank you.
    Arnaud.

  • CS4 - Acrobat 9 Pro not working on Win 8.1

    Hello
    We have severe problems installing Acrobat 9 Pro from the CS4 Suite. Setup always cancels the installation (see Re: Error 1603 when installing CS4 on Windows 8.1).
    However, we downloaded and successfully installed a standalone version of Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. But the CS4 serial does not work on the standalone version.
    Can you send us a serial number that works? We can provide you with the CS4 serial for verification. Please send us an address to send it to you privately.
    Thanks a lot!

    Go to your Control Panel, find the Windows Firewall, after you open that, you need to click on Advanced settings. Click on Inbound Rules, scroll down until you see Java, it maybe listed several times. Right click on the ones that are blocked and select Properties.
    On the General tab, you will see a section called Action, you will need to tick the Allow the connection. Apply and then OK, do that for all blocked Java entries.
    EDIT: Sorry I missed where you said that it wasn't showing up. Are you looking in the "Inbound Rules"? If so, did you install the 32bit version? Even on a 64bit OS, you should have the 32bit installed. You can also always add the Java entry into
    the firewall setting. I will type out how to do that if you need.
    I tried to upload an image for you, but the site won't let me.
    Now if Java was the only thing not connecting, then you should be good to go, if you still have an issue with Java, then follow the steps again, but this time, you will need to open the Advanced tab and under the Profiles section, check the private box,
    apply and OK.

  • Lightroom5 Serial Number not working - GRRRR!

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a copy of Lightroom 5, but the serial number I received in the confirmation email to upgrade my copy of the software from a trial package to the real deal does not work. Any tips on how to get a new serial number or make this original one work??
    Thanks in advance!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • My photoshop elements serial number is not working on my new mac. I had windows before and returned it for a mac but can't get my serial number to work

    my photoshop elements and Lightroom serial numbers won't work for my new mac. I bought these softwares via download on my windows laptop but returned that laptop because the quality was not great. I decided to buy a mac and now can't use my serial numbers to download the software.

    You might try here:

    Whatever you do, don't post your serial here.
    Your entering the 24 digit serial for photoshop elements 12 starting with 1057-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
    I agree with bearcatnat in that i don't know what adobe expects us to do about serials on the forums, since were just users such as yourself and don't work for adobe.

  • Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

    I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
    I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
    I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
    Thank you,
    Maryanne

    Hi Maryanne,
    This is now resolved. The bundle has been added to your account and you should have received an e-mail notification confirming this.

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.
