CS4 Serial Number Availability

I there,
I was hoping someone may know if my serial number would be available from within my Adobe account as soon as I purchase CS4 web premium?
Is it the same regardless if I purchase the download option or the ship me the box option?
Thanks in advance.

I am looking to do an Adobe webstore purchase & am hopeful that the serial code will be shown in my account straight away before the arrival of the boxed product. Does anyone know if this will be the case? Thanks.

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

    Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

    Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
    BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
    Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
    Problem somehow resolved itself?!

  • How Do I Find My Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number?

    How do i find dreamweaver cs4 serial number?

    If it's registered, you would just log into your Adobe account and it will be listed there under Applications and Subscriptions.
    Otherwise, it's either on your installation disk, or in the original email (which you printed and saved for future use, right?) that you got when you purchased the download from your online retailer of choice.
    If none of the above, you're probably stuck, Adobe no longer supports CS4.

  • Cannot activate CS4 serial number

    Is anyone else having problems with activating CS4 serial number. I bought a student version of CS4 recieved my serial number after verifying student status, upon entering the serial number it was rejected, I tried unistalling the application and reinstalling, same result. I went onto the Adobe website to contact them, it is so hard to do that. I tried the 1800 Australia number only to be told by a recorded message that the office hours closed at 5pm it was 430 pm when I called (I made allowances for daylight saving time). I need help as I want to use CS4 but can't. I have checked that I have entered the numbers correctly and included the dashes where appropriate.

    Thanks Bob, but I'm nearing the end of the 30 days and I bought this for my son for Christmas so I'm getting a bit antsy to have this problem resolved. I also think it is crazy that I phoned the support line half an hour prior to closing time and received a recorded message (I allowed for day light saving time) stating that they were closed. Margie

  • Unable to download LR5. Purchased 5 days ago. Serial number available, but download not applicable.

    Unable to download LR5. Purchased 5 days ago. Serial number available, but download not applicable it says.

    Did you purchase from Adobe directly or from your academic institution?  If you purchased from Adobe then the software should be available under your account.  Please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download your purchased Adobe software.
    If you did not purchase the software from Adobe directly then you can download the trial from https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroom&promoid&promoid=D TEML.  You can install the trial and then enter the serial number which you have already received.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use

    In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site  and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
    Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
    [personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
    [This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
    Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
    Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
    Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
    How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
    Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number Activation

    I used to have Dreamweaver CS4 on my computer. I recently changed laptop so I desactivated the serial number and desinstalled the software. I am now trying to reinstall it on my new laptop but the serial number is not recognized. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Was your previous version a Student/Teacher or Volume Licensed Edition from a reseller?

    Have you logged in to your Adobe account to confirm you have the correct serial number?

    Unfortunately, most of us are product users like yourself. So a bad serial number is beyond our scope of authority.  That's something only Adobe can help you with.

  • How to know which CS4 serial number is installed on my computer ?

    Hi,
    Our company has several CS4 software packages installed on several Windows computers.
    Some have been purchased from a store, others have been downloaded from the Adobe webstore.
    Now I'd like to upgrade to CS6 on one of the computers; for this, I assume, I will need the serial number of the CS4 packaged installed on that specific computer, correct? but how can I find that out ?
    Unfortunately, we did not keep track of which specific CS4 package was installed on which computer
    Already deactived CS4 in Indesign while unchecking the 'remove serial number' checkbox, restarted Indesign, and the computer, but nothing seemed to happen
    Tried Adobe Chat, but after repeating the same question 3 times and the chat being closed (by Adobe) 3 times without any response to the actual subject, I gave up...not having had the impression that I was talking to a person by the way...
    Thanks for help
    Frederik

    Again, more bad advice from Mylenium.  You can use Belarc to find all kinds of information about your computer and installed software, and will show most serial numbers including CS4.  I'm running Win 7 Pro with CS2 and CS4 installed and see both serial numbers in Belarc)

  • CS4 serial number invalid on new Macbook Pro

    I have CS4 and a new Macbook Pro. My old apps will not launch with old the serial number. Is there a way to get my old apps to work?

    Ah, that is more specific.
    Hopefully your software has been registered with Adobe, or you have proof of purchase.
    Serial number issues and activation are directly handled by Adobe. We are forum volunteers and do not have that authority.

    If you have to directly get in contact with them, there are phone, email, or chat options under "Still need help"?

  • Upgrade CS3 TO CS4 - Serial Number Not Recognised - HELP!

    Hi there,
    From what I have been reading, there seems to ba a few people who are having problems upgrading to CS4 from CS3. Well, I'm afraid I'm another to add to the list. Can anyone help me in my plight?
    My O.S is Windows XP Pro (SP3) and my computer has more than enough nuts and bolts inside it to run NASA never mind CS4! My anti virus is AVG 8.5 and my firewall is Zone Alarm, both of which were disabled during the attempted install.
    I purchased the upgrade from the Adobe store (at £165) and had the box delivered - great so-far!
    However, when I came to install the upgrade, and after putting in the correct CS4 serial, a window opened to inform me that the system-profile search, failed to find the CS3 in the defaul location - and believe me it's there! I followed the on-screen instructions, typing-in the serial number of my (leagally-bought) CS3; to my horror, it told me that the serial number was 'not a valid copy' when it clearly is!!
    I have successfully installed the CS4 Upgrade only on a 30 day trial basis but still cannot register as it then tells me that BOTH my serial numbers are invalid. Suffice to say that the 30 day trial version was later uninstalled and I am now back to square-one and £165 poorer!
    I have opened a case with Adobe but after over a week have still had no reply. Phoning customer support in the UK was also a no-no as their office hours (9-5 Mon to Fri) are not compatible with me as I cannot be next to my machine during these times (Unless I take a day off!) My next option is to phone the States but hey - it's only money!!
    My question is therefore - can anyone help or make suggestions as to how I can resolve this issue. A point to note that after buying and installing CS3 I notice in the headline (once the programme is running) it is labelled 'CS3 EXTENDED'  yet this is not written on the box - is this normal? The CS4 Upgrade was the same so it looks like I am trying to install a like-for-like product.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    What's the point though of issuing upgrades that don't upgrade?
    Well, once it was pretty easy. There was only one full-version of PS. Back then, there were variations with terms like "Lite," and "LE," and these were basically bundled with scanners, etc. They were the precursors to PSElements. For a bit, there were only two PS and PSE. The "upgrade" was either the full-version upgraded to the next version, or the full-version from PSE. Then "Extended" was introduced, and now there are two full-versions. Each will have their own upgrade path, so some care needs to be exercised. Extended basically offers more video capabilities over the "regular."
    Upgrade paths have also changed, and can come into play, when one uses a stand-alone to upgrade to a "suite." Once, one could upgrade separate programs directly, but with suites, things get a tad more complicated. Though I've had straight PS versions since 2.5, once I went to the Production Stuido suite with PrPro, AE and Audition, I could no longer use my PS license to JUST upgrade PS to PS-Extended. I would have to do the full suite, and now there are several flavors of the Video suites, with one including upgrades for all of my old Macromedia Studio suite. I follow this stuff fairly closely, and have to admit that I am confused, and the Adobe site (good in many other ways) does not cover the various suites and how to get to each from where one is, as well as it could. However, a chart of all possibilities and what is in each suite might fill four screens.
    Then, you have to factor in that many resellers do not furnish all the necessary info on what is needed to qualify for specific upgrades. Once, when there were fewer resellers, one had to give the S/N for their existing product, and then this was matched up to the requirements of the upgrade. Now, there are just too many resellers to do that - or Adobe has become a bit more, um-m, "relaxed."
    Over the decades, I have found Adobe Customer Support (not necessarily Technical Support) to be quite good and accommodating, when I did have any problem. In the past, they did all that they could to keep me satisfied, and did a good job of it.
    Good luck, and please report how it goes,

  • Cs4 serial number doesn't work with mavericks

    CS4 upgrade from  CS2 was installed on a mac running OS 10.9.2, the 30 day trial allowed photoshop to work, however, the serial number from the box does not work.  Everything seemed to work properly on the previous computer running 10.8

    There is a possibility the box is counterfeit - they do exist.
    Beyond that speculation, it's impossible for other users (like myself) to help you with serial number issues - you'll have to call Adobe customer support to resolve such issues.
