CS5.5 Serial Number Problem for CS6 Upgrade

I purchased a legitimate copy of CS5,5 Design Premium in August and it installed perfectly with the Adobe Serial Number. However, I decided to upgrade to CS6 Design & Web Premium but the program installer is telling me that my Serial Number is invalid and that CS5.5 is not installed on my Computer. What's going on?

Serial number problems for cs5

I'm having problems installing CS5 on my macbook air.

Can you explain more specifically what your problem installing CS5 is? What are the serial number problems?

Download Design & Web Prem CS6, cannot install because serial number is for CS6 and the drop down choices stop at CS5.5

The CS6 serial number is a valid number, but the products on the install list which stops at CS5.5. Does anyone know where I can find the link that will let me install ver 6

It sounds like you are installing an upgrade version of CS6 and it is asking you to provide the information for the older qualifying version that you are upgrading from. After you enter the CS6 serial number you select the older version from the list and then enter the serial number for the older version to prove that you qualify to use CS6. See the following...
Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html

Computer crashed, reloaded CS5, says serial number not for qualifying product

Loaded CS5 on new computer successfully. loaded updates successfully.
Trying to load CS5 on 2nd computer (old computer with new Windows 7 installation) and after it loads and I try to install updates... the updates fail to load and I get the following error message:
Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
any help is appreciated.

Missiejackson the error you are experiencing is likely due to a previous installation of Adobe Creative software. Please use the available uninstallers in the Programs and Features control panel to remove any installed software. Once this is done you will want to run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal. You can find instructions and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Finally if you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Download CS5 products.

Academic Superstore CS5.5 download not eligible for CS6 upgrade?

CS5 academic version was purchased directly from Adobe in 2010 and is registered in my Adobe account.
A recent email from an academic reseller about buying CS5.5 before May 6 in order to receive a free upgrade grabbed my attention. It's really looking like a situation of buyer beware. I opted for a download version which came with an activation code for immediate gratification. But no serial number or product code was included.
I went through the steps to register with Adobe immediately after the installation on 4/30/12. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I checked my account at Adobe and did not see CS5.5 as being registered. After much searching, it seems like the download version is not considered a valid purchase by Adobe.
When the Academic Superstore was contacted, they immediately resent the email that contained the download link and activation code. In a follow up message, they "stated" that the serial number was sent in the previous message, but also to check junk mail in case it got filtered. (It was not.)
A screen grab from the Adobe Support portal with my name and address, with the request to enter the serial number was sent to the Academic Superstore. No response.
I paid for and received a product. However, I can't help but feel like I was scammed as the Superstore did not make a distinction between the boxed version or download version.
I've already resigned my self... but do I have any options with Adobe or the Superstore?

Hi Jeff,
This is certainly useful information.
However, I didn't realize that downloaded versions with an activation code purchased from a reseller are not considered valid. Academic Superstore did not send me a a key ingredient, a serial number, and have stopped responding to my concerns about receiving one from them.
I can't help but have the impression that this was an underhanded presentation of product on their part, e.g. there was no warning that the purchased download version would not be eligible for the CS6 upgrade. Had I known, I would have purchased the boxed version.
Best regards,
WV

Serial number problem with CS6

This morning, after running for over a year, the serial number that came with the copy of CS6 that I bought last August stopped working. I got an "invalid serial number error" and that was the end of CS6. I tried getting help from Adobe, but to no avail. The website was full of deadends or irrelevant pages. When I finally got into the chat cue, and I still don't know how I found it because I haven't been able to find it again, after an hour of waiting I had to go to work. With only 9 other people in line ahead of me.
So I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS6 twice, but it keeps telling me I have an invalid serial number. It is the serial number I registered with Adobe last year and that has worked since then. It is the same number that shows up when I look up "installed products" in my AdobeID account. Regardless, it is now inexplicably invalid. I found a post suggesting I run CC Cleaner. I did it--twice. I also adjusted file folder permissions on the Adobe program folder based on someone else's advice, but neither solved anything.
My impression is that it isn't an installation problem but that due to a mistake on Adobe's end, maybe due to an Adobe or MS auto update, my serial number now really is invalid, though it is paid for. This would mean there is nothing wrong with my installation, but just the serial number. With that in mind, and also that I don't want to deal with the aggravation any longer, I bit the bullet and bought...another copy of CS6. That's right, I will have paid twice for one copy because of a problem that is likely Adobe's fault. Congratulations Adobe! I came onto this forum so I could get an answer to the following question: who do I send the bill to? Who at Adobe reimburses their users when this kind of thing happens? If customer support had been better I might have been willing to hang in there while waiting for a fix, but it is obvious that none of the options available are made to assist customers so much as to drive them away. If I had known of an alternative software that could replace PS, Illustrator, and InDesign, I would have bought it instead.

I know I won't get reimbursed, the question was rhetorical.
I bought the software through my university supplier of all our software, so it is legit. The point is that I paid for it, I should be able to use it. If it doesn't work, there should be a way to tell Adobe. I wouldn't be angry about it now if not for the fact I couldn't even send the information to Adobe.
This same thing happened with my copy of IBM SPSS and QVR's nVivo X10 software. The problem is that the way these software keys are installed happens to be very sensitive to system changes or even updates on the other end, at the developer's servers that maintain licenses. I understand why they have the keys, but the way they are implemented ruins the user experience for me. When I spend about two weeks every year fixing software glitches like this, that's my whole Christmas vacation , they need to improve the software because it is becoming more trouble than it is worth.
I wish there was a competitor for Adobe because I would love to spend my money there, even if it costs more, just to switch to another application and remind Adobe that their monopoly on the market could crumble if the customer experience starts going south.

Serial numbers for original product and upgrade. CS5.5 serial number is not accepted by CS6 upgrade installer.

I had CS5.5. I purchased an upgrade to CS6 but due to machine limitations never successfully installed it. My machine has recently been reformatted, so of course CS5.5 is gone. I tried to install CS6 and it likes my serial number, but says I need an upgradable product and asks for a serial number for my upgradeable product. When I enter my Cs5.5 serial number, I'm told it's not a qualifying product. Any ideas?

I am having the same problem and previously I have had to contact support with the challenge code and such. Here is the information on my software.
cs5.5 master collection is windows
cs6 master collection is windows.
Was there a reason I cannot find the chat option anymore?
thank you in advance.

Upgraded from CS5 to CS6 - Serial number not for a qualifying product. Chat not available

I get a page saying "serial number not for a qualifying product. Please try another. " during install. I upgraded from Design Standard CS5 to Design Standard CS6 .
Also, Chat is never available to me. 6 tries to no avail so far.
Any help would be most appreciated or if someone knows how else I can contact Adobe as Chat is never available.
Thank you.

I attempted to reslove via CS chat but was unable to get assitance due to it being "outdated".
In so many words: That's BS. Only support can look into the customer database and they have to sort it out. Contact them again, escalate the case to the next level until you get someone qualified enough to resolve your issue.

CS6 upgrade will not accept my CS5.5 Serial number

Hello, I installed my previously purchased CS5.5 onto a new 64 bit laptop with Win 8.1 (I had previously tried to install the CS5.5 on a 32 bit machine and decided to uninstall a couple years ago so i did not really use it). I then purchased and downloaded the CS6 Upgrade. When i start the set up of CS6 it accepts the CS6 serial number but then it does not accept the CS5.5 serial number by stating it is not a qualifying product. Does anyone please know how i get by this to do the upgrade? Thanks.

Not a dumb question and luckily, yes, I did select CS5.5 Master Collection from the drop-down.
Actually, I did not realize it but we determined that my CS5.5 version is a volume license whereas I had downloaded a single upgrade of CS6 which I have learned is against Adobe policy. So, somewhat similar to your second point. I need to now call Adobe volume sales department to determine next steps.
Thanks for your help John!

Serial number problem upgrading from Tryout and 5.1 to 5.5 CS Standard

Hi
Long one...!
I bought a new iMac and CS5.5 Design Standard. Installed it. Didn't have my education serial at the time so ran as trial. All good.
Received serial from Adobe. Put it in and Indesign was OK with it and upgraded to 5.5, but others stayed as Tryouts. Reinstalled, same problem.
Contacted Adobe who said the serial was for Windows. After much messing around they issued another serial. Put it in. It changed when I put the disk in to try and reload. (Last four digit box changes itself to XXX). Other two packages went from Tryout to 5.1.
Uninstalled whole package and reinstalled using the code Adobe Support gave me. Indesign back as 5.5 but other two still only 5.1
Why might this be?
You don't have to read the following but it may help.
Thank you for answers or suggestions. At wits' end here!

Have you bothered to do any research at all? Not every app was upgrade to 5.5. Those that weren’t will next be upgraded to CS6.
Bob

I want to upgrade to CS6 Production Premium suite from CS5.5. Can I use CS6 upgrade made for CS5, or do I have to use upgrade that specifically states for CS5.5.

PakeMaker 6.52 serial number not recongized when upgrading

I have been using PageMaker 6.52 until my recent upgrade to Windows 7 which PageMaker will not run under. I purchased a used copy of Indesign 2.0 (upgrade version) on eBay. When trying to install, I get an error that the Indesign install program does not recogzine my PageMaker serial number. I telephoned support and got nowhere when tried to explain the problem as the overseas call center did not understand the problem and language (English) was a barrier.
I had ugraded my PageMaker several times over the years, and as I recall, PageMaker retained the original serial number. The support center told me my serial number was for ver. 1.0 and not eligible for upgrade. However, this is the correct serial number for my copy of 6.5 and this the number shown when PageMaker is running (Help - About).
How can I get Indesign activated? How can I talk to someone stateside that speaks understandable English? Thank you for your help.

You are on your own here with version 2.0 upgrade.
This is an old problem and a known issue with PM 6 upgrades to InDesign not recognizing upgraded serial numbers of PM. Search the forums for more data from discussions on this (start here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1285142#1285142)
And I am afraid you are out of luck with Adobe on this as they only support the most recent version, ID CS4 (until CS5 ships shortly), at this time. If you can get any help from them on this count yourself lucky. There may be an Adobe info or data page on this in their Knowledge Base archives but you'll get that in any search you make within this web site.
Also, as a caveat, InDesign didn't convert PM6 files well at all until version 5 (CS3), from what I read here on this forum. And ID version 2 isn't supported in Windows 7 (but it may run fine) so no love from Microsoft either.

Aperture 2 install - serial number problem

Disclaimer: I'm pretty good on a pc. Absolutely terrible on Mac, never had so many problems with tech :/
So...I have my serial number from the back of the Aperture 2 "Installing your software" booklet. Checked that I'm entering "I's" not "1's." Got dashed between the sequences. Capslock on etc. Searched forum, quite a few posts on serial number problems. None matched.
Enter serial number. Second window pops up stating I've entered an upgrade serial number (I only have the expired trial version of Aperture installed), and requesting my "serial number."
I'm lost now. Checked my original docs, there's nothing on Aperture trial version. Fired up the trial and I see what looks like a license key (to Apple, not me) on the launch screen. That's not accepted by Aperture 2.
Any thoughts on this appreciated.

Thanks, think you solved this Wish the label said something like that, the box only says Aperture 2, not upgrade license. So I'm guessing I have to pay $199, and keep this $99 package to upgrade it? I hope not. I'll ask at the store.
There is a tiny label on the bottom edge of the box. Mine says "Aperture 2.0 Retail". The tiny label on my box for Final Cut Express 4 says "Final Cut Express 4.0 UPG". Does yours not say "UPG" on that little label? If not, you should be able to return it for the full version (plus pay the difference, of course). If it does say "UPG" you might be out of luck as most open software can't be returned.
