CS5 Windows/Mac Serial Number

I have photoshop cs5 extended which I brought a few years ago for my windows laptop. I have now purchased a macbook and seem unable to install the program on my mac, is there I can still install the software?

I don't own a Mac so I can't begin to say which emulator might work best. I have heard of Bootcamp and Parallels (I believe).
CS5 is not for sale, so even if I would recommend buying it it would have to be by taking your chances with some thirds party vendor. You can buy an upgrade to CS6 (Mac) with your CS5 (Windows) and save some money that way.

Once I star installation it ask me to enter the serial number which I obtain from the adobe reseller in Dubai - After completion of installation it ask me again to enter the serial number and then an error comes :- THIS SERIAL NUMBER IS NOT VALID FOR THIS PRODUCT.
Even I uninstall and reinstall twice & thrice the problem is remain same.

Why doesn't pop-up window for serial number open?

My mother has bought the Lightroom 5 CD and is installing it but for some reason when she clicks ther installed Lr icon as told in your instruction, the serial number is not requested. The whole window with the empty boxes for serial number does not appear. I'm not sure what she has done earlier but she is saying she hasn't been able to give any serial number to her Mac (she has had earlier version in other MAc but is facing major problems with this new Mac and Lightroom, she has had trial version in this Mac). So, could the problem be that she has removed some Adobe Acrobat reader, Java, Adobe ActiveX or something and that's why the pop up window for serial number does not appear or has she managed to activate something which is blocking something or if she has already put serial number somewhere could that be blocking the process? How to change the serial number? Does Lightroom require some other sw like cloud or sth?

Hi Sari,
Kindly try the below mentioned steps.
Launch Lightroom
Click on Help.
Click on Lightroom Registration
Follow the on screen instruction.
Thanks,

That sounds more like an issue with your operating system not allowing software to be installed.
See if the following helps in any way...

Just to make certain, you inserted the original installation disk and started the MBP holding down the C key? Did the Optical drive reject the disk or did it just spin? If the former, the lens in the drive may be dirty and needs to be cleaned. If the latter, you will have to take it to an Apple repair facility.

Mac serial number?

I was searching for Mac Serial number but cannot find it. I was following the website from
'http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106486', and then just double-click the version text but it just said 'Serial Number System Sal#'..
Somebody know how to check the Mac Serial No.?
Thank you.

I just spoke to Apple Australia about the same issue. Basically they said that a Support Center has to manually re-input the serial number (no this can't be done yourself).
As for how to check it, turn off your computer, take out the battery and near the bottom left, it should have your serial number, as *The Fat One* said.

Upgrade product CS5 from CS3 to run on Mac -serial number not accepted

Hi I spoke to your team last week before ordering CS5 for my first time buy Mac.
I was told that I DID have a qualifying product running on my Windows laptop - I have a registred copy of CS3
I am trying to iinstall the new CS5 onto the Mac and I am told that the serial number is valid but does not qualify for the product I have bought on your avice
Please can you help me

Hi there, the software for Mac OS won't accept a Windows serial number. You'll need to contact Customer Service and they'll help you to get things working. For the best assistance, I reocmmend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/tuMwkC

Upgrade CS4 to CS5 with invalid serial number from pc to mac

I bought CS4 from a registered reseller a while ago, but now when I try to register the download, it says the serial number is invalid. I am now unable to reach the reseller. I have recently moved from pc to mac and would like to purchse CS5. Is it worth trying to register the CS4 so I can qualify for the reduced rate to upgrade to CS5? Or does the change from pc to mac mean I need to purchase new software entirely and pay the full rate?

If I am right , you are planning to buy the CS5 hence the article given by Mylenium would not help as Adobe provide the platform swap for the latest version.
You have to contact Adobe ....They will check the serial number of the CS4 is valid or not....and will register for you.
Once registered you can straight away place the order for the CS5 on the discounted price for MAC , there will be no problem weather you have the cs4 for mac or win
You should be bothered for your CS4 serial number because if you buy the upgrade of CS5 , when you will install the product it is gonna ask you the cs4 serial number .....hence get the serial number checked otherwise you have to buy the new software entirely.
Everything is dependent on CS4 serial numbr, buying CS5 is not the problem....you should have correct serial number of cs4 , get it checked.

Want to transfer CS5 . Have serial number but not product key or discs. How can I do it?

I have Cs5 on my Mac book but want to transfer it to my new MacBook Pro retina. I have the serial number BUT my installation discs are packed away. Can I retrieve the product key from Adobe ? Do I need it anyway?
help would be much appreciated...

If you have the serial number and an internet connection you should be all set. You can download thru the following page and use the serial number you say you have to activate it.
Download CS5 products
You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you choose to you can leave the current installation on the old machine as a backup. If you prefer to remove it for any reason, be sure to deactivate it first so that the extra activation is still available to you.

Need CS5 Student Edition Serial Number

I bought the PS CS5 Student/Teacher edition in 2011. I loaded it to my macbook at the time. I just purchased a new macbook yesterday and am trying to install it on the new computer. I have downloaded it and now need to enter the serial number. I do not have this. After a very long chat with Adobe they can not find this product under any email I have ever had. They say that since they can't find the email ID they can't give me the serial number. I have the original box with product code and I have the program on the old computer still. Is there ANY way I can get the serial number so I can install on my new computer? Or anyway to figure out which email address was used? is this info stored somewhere in CS5 files?
Thank you so much for your help!!

You probably only have one license, before you can enter the serial number on your new mac, first you have to deactivate Photoshop on your old mac (For help on that go to Activation & Deactivation Help). Also to determine what email your AdobeID was registered under would be to go to the create an account page, and enter all of your prior email addresses, when it says 'email already taken', you know that is your email. You can also change your password if you don't know that either by asking to send a verification code to your email address.

Why cant i use my photoshop cs5.5 extended serial number with cs6?

It states in the terms and conditions, on-screen instructions, a photoshop cs5.5 license can be used to apply to the cs6 version of photoshop but it shows as invalid.
Is there a link to photoshop cs5.5 extended if this is incorrect?
Regards.
Scott Evin Williams
P. S. My computer is an individually self-made industry standard computer with over 3 terabytes HDD space and 16Gb RAM with 2 x 4600 Quadro Nvidia graphics cards for specific design work and is running windows 7 Professional and a windows 8 evaluation copy, so I do have a system running well over the stated specifications, the installation was quick but I am stuck with the serial number invalid issue.
Thank you.

In that case I would
1) get in touch with your academy and see if they have updated their course-line to allow for the download of CS6 Extended at the time that your semester begins and
2) get in touch with Adobe's Education Store Customer Service to see if you met the requirements of obtaining the CS5.5 license after a certain date in the past but prior to the release of CS6. You see it's a certain window that you must fall into. If you obtained the license too far in the past then it won't be valid for CS6 but your school should make accomodations for you if they expect you to complete the course work.
