CS5 Serial Number wont work for 5.5 upgrade

I have the Master Collection CS5 and bought the Dreamweaver 5.5 upgrade. But when I try to enter my CS5 number it say it is not valid for this product. Is there some way to determine what the Dreamweaver standalone S# is? I don't see any documentation on it.
Thanks!

Hi,
That is just the normal behaviour that your experienceing since on the dropdown list at the time it is asking your to select the product you upgraded from you will not find master collection CS5 on the list. Upgrade from suite product to point product is actually an invalid upgrade path however you may contact customer service and see what option they can provide you.

  • I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

    I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

    You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

  • Cs5 serial number not allowed for cs6 upgrade?

    hello
    I am trying to install CS6 Design Premium (via CD) and have CS5. However I am denied installation because my CS5 serial number is not allowed (it appears I must have CS5.5).  All phone lines are engaged. As well as frustrating, this would seem a very poor 'stealth' trick. I have countless registered Adobe copies going back years and saw no warning re this possibility prior to purchase. Is installing from CS5 impossible?

    phew! I took your advice and after many dropped phone connections, I was able to speak to Prashant (Adobe service rep in India) who was able to take create a (temporary) support number for me to type in to the registration dialogue via the challenge code procedure. This appeared to bypass the registration dropdown issue and so allowed me to register... at last!
    In retrospect I am very grateful for your help and my good fortune in being able to speak to Prashant who was able to fix the problem over the phone. However I suspect this problem may occur to others and the solution seems far from easy when long phone queues and dropped connections add to the tortuous minefield of what is simply meant to be a registration process!
    best regards in all events

  • Design Standard CS 5.5 serial number not working for Photoshop

    I am trying to install the Design Standard CS 5.5 but am having trouble with Photoshop.  All of the programs installed and open correctly except for Photoshop.  When I try to launch it, the Adobe Application Manager comes up saying that the serial number is "not valid for this product."  The serial seemed to work during the install and both InDesign and Illustrator launch without any problems.  I have also tryed uninstalling and then reinstalling Photoshop, but I still have the same problem.  I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Are you definitely installing Design Premium CS5, not a similar sounding Creative Suite? And not CS5.5?

  • Photoshop CS5 serial number not working?

    I bought and downloaded Photoshop CS5 from this site about two years ago, and since then have purchased a new computer. I want install CS5 on this new computer, but my account isn't listing CS5 under my lists of products. When I try and register the serial number I found under my program's System Info, I get an error message that says my serial number isn't valid.
    A little while ago, adobe had an information leak and my account was one of the ones listed as possibly compromised- could this be the issue?
    If not, why won't it let me register CS5 to my account? I really want it on my new computer. I purchased the product legitimately and I don't want my money disappearing after only two years.

    Explain your situation to Customer Support, and see if you can submit some sort of proof. For example a credit card statement. Your bank can help you with that. See if your ISP can fish up the email.
    Also if you purchased it as an Educational discount, you might get in touch with that section.
    We are users and perhaps a Staff member may drop by, but for now that's the best advice.

  • Serial number wont work??

    I bought a secondhand macbook of ebay and they said CS5 was installed on it. When it arrived it had CS6 installed but ony trial version.
    The serial code they gave me does not work. I downloaded CS5 and tried to use the serial code on that with no success!!
    Any ideas please???

    As they say, you have probably been had... It's most likely simply a pirated version. Nobody gives away software that even today has an intrinsic value (since it is eligible for a CS6 upgrade) for "free" - unless it was part of the deal, of course. For anything else this would apply:

  • Why does my cs5 serial number not qualify for an upgrade?

    I input the serial number for my cs5 product in order to quality for the adobe customers special and it doesn't qualify. Any idea why? I wanted to chat with an Adobe representative but was only given the forum as an option.

    How does this differ from your original post?

    Updates do not require serial numbers. If you are trying to upgrade from, say, Final Cut v6 to Final Cut v7, yes, that will require your previous serial.
    Pretend we are not able to see what you're doing. Explain it to us carefully.

  • Serial Number Not working for XSAN. PLEASE HELP!

    When I purchased the XSAN software it was version 1.0 well I installed the software on all the machines and then did the updates to XSAN 1.2, but when I go to add clients serial numbers in XSAN ADMIN 1.2 it does the Metadata Controller (which is running the XSAN ADMIN program) just fine I can see the clients but when I enter my password it says "Valid Serial Number with No Expiration Date" so I click OK. Now it has a green light next to it, but when I click Save Settings it goes back to orange and give me the error "Error while writing settings (Invalid Serial Number)". Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    When I had an issue similar to yours, it was because I had typed the serial number in capital letters (just like the license showed) but it had to be in lower case. When I switched them it worked just fine.
