CS4 Design Standard Serial Number not accepted

Hi Adobe Community,
I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and want to install my "old" CS4 Creative Suite Design Standard on it.
I found a page on the Adobe that enables to download CS4 software. They are all here except the Creative Suite Design Standard.
I picked the Illustrator one thinking that I would pick Photoshop and In Design afterwards.
It went well until I had to key in the Serial Number.
It was not accepted. Said:
Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
Any idea?
Thank you very much

you must use the suite that matches your serial number:
Suites and Programs:  CC 2014 | CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard
Premiere Elements:  12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7
Photoshop Elements:  12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7
Lightroom:  5.6| 5 | 4 | 3
Captivate:  8 | 7 | 6 | 5
Contribute:  CS5 | CS4, CS3

  • CS4 Design Premium serial number not accepted?

    We are trying to move an installation of CS4 Design Premium between computers in our organisation.
    It has been successfully unregistered and uninstalled from the original old computer, but we are unable to successfully install it to the new computer.
    If we select the English (International) language upon install, the installation fails, citing missing components in the application directory.
    If we select English (US) upon install, the installation succeeds but we are unable to enter the provided serial number of the boxed install media - even though it is definitely the correct serial number.
    Has anyone else ever seen this odd behaviour and found a way past it?

    I haven't seen that strange behavior, but you can chat online with someone from India about it: Adobe Connect Chat Support

  • Cs4 extended license serial number not accepted

    I have just reinstalled my Mac and upgraded to Yosemite. I have reinstalled my copy of Photoshop CS4 Extended but when I enter my serial number which obtained from adobe site after logging I am told it is not valid so I can only use the program in demo mode for 30 days. I bought the mac version and it has never been installed anywhere else
    Any ideas?

    Find your serial number quickly
    Contact Adobe with proof of purchase since we are users and cannot fix this.
    If you bought it from Adobe, it will be registered under the account you purchased it under.

  • Serial Number not accepted CS4

    I have a Macbook Air and tried to install CS4 Design Standard, but the downloaded installer does not accept my serial number (marked as invalid). I purchased the CS4 Design Standard (Education) in 2009. What can I do to install the CS 4 on my Mac that has no disc drive? Why is my serial number not accepted?
    Looking forward for help!
    Thanks.

    contact adobe support if you're certain you're using the same serial number that worked previously, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    otherwise, make sure you're using the correct serial number, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

  • Lost CS6 Design Standard Serial Number

    I have lost the CS6 Design Standard serial number card. But the box still with me.
    Information available at the box is only the bar code number and Part Number. How can i retrieve back my serial number ?

    If you registered your software when you first installed it your serial number should be available thru your Adobe account online.

  • Using 'Design Standard' serial number with 'Master Collection' download.

    Hey, i was trying to download design standard, but couldnt find it with the download assistant.
    The only thing i could see that was a 'collection' was the master collection.
    So i asked someone on Adobe live chat wether i could just download master collection then input my design standard serial, and they seemed to think it would work.
    When i enter the serial i get the following message:
    "We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Master Collection. Please contact customer support."
    not really sure what to do, will i need to downlaod design standard instead?

    i think customer support missed that one.
    adobe serial numbers are product specific.  you can't activate a trial of one product to a full version of another product.
    you need design standard cs6.  here it is:  http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=design_standard

  • CS2 Premium serial number not accepted at use on Win 7 system

    I have at several years old version of the Creative Suite 2 Premium. It has been licensed on a Win XP system previously, but now I try to install it on my new Win 7 computer.
    But the "Personalize your software" - window will not accept the serial number that I can read on the product casette from the label named "SERIAL NUMBER CREATIVE SUITE PREM".
    Am pretty sure that it is entered correctly, and in fact the same serial number is accepted during installatin.
    Please advise....

    Hi Jeff,
    The request for the serial number comes when I start up InDesign, I have not tried the other programs.
    I enclose a screendump of the Serial number request and while I am at it a foto of the product case as well:

    We have installed Creative Suite 4 Design Standard on a Windows 7 computer and all programs are running fine but prompting to activate. We have confirmed with LWS and Adobe support that we have the correct serial number but when entering it at the licensing prompt, it is not being accepted.
    Can anyone please assist to advise how we can successfully activate this product?

  • InDesign CS5.5 upgrade not accepting CS3 Design Standard Serial Number

    Hi,
    I currently have Adobe CS3 Design Standard on my mac computer, and when I try to upgrade my InDesign to InDesign CS5.5, It is telling me my CS3 Serial Number is not valid.  Please help.
    Thank you,
    SRGgraphics

    Yes, as it should be. Suites can only be upgraded to suites. It says so in the fine print of the buying guides. Contact sales support about returning the package and getting a ful lsuite instead.

  • 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.

  • Problems loading CS4, serial number not accepted. Why?

    I've just got my CS4 Extended, Student edition for my MacBook and received my emailed serial number, but it won't allow me to install it. I get the little red cross when I input the numbers.
    I know I should be checking the language, but I don't know how, or where, as I didn't get any option when i originally put the disc in.
    Can anyone give me any guidance please?
    Many thanks

    I've tried calling Adobe, but here in the UK they have all gone home for the weekend.
    I did copy and paste my serial number as well, just to make sure I wasn't getting my numbers muddled.
    I'm now wondering have I been really stupid (probably I say to myself) as I have got CS4 and I have a MacBook. Does CS4 work on a MacBook? I'm new to Macs so I may have got the wrong thing
    Photoshop CS4 will work fine on a MacBook How much RAM do you have maybe you don't have enough.
    Oh well, I suppose I will have to wait till Tuesday till I get sorted (Monday is a public holiday).
    I was so hoping to be able to download all my photos.
    One thought, would Apeture conflict with CS4?
    Thanks again
    Mic
    Aperture will not conflict with Photoshop
