CS6 - cannot activate my product after changing my PC config - I did deactivate it on my previous configuration - "serial number is invalid"

I recently changed my desktop PC configuration and unfortunately I cannot activate my CS6 Web&Design serial number on it - I receive "serial number is invalid" message when trying to activate it. I do have an active installation on my laptop, but I don't want to remove it and I should be able to have two computers activated to my serial number. I did deactivate the product on my old desktop PC, so it's no longer tied to it and one activation should be free.
Any help or should I wait for tomorrow and use the chat?

First check if the installation media that you have is correct or not, check which product and version it says on the title bar of the Serial number window.
Download the correct installer according to the language and the Operating system.
Download CS6 products
Second the language, try changing the language in the End User license agreement windows at the beginning of the installation to either English(North America) or International English.
The language option is on the top left corner of the EULA window.
Hope that helps!

    @theViberTeam .
    I'm having trouble with Viber.
    A few days ago, I accidentally uninstalled it on my IPhone 4, and reinstalled it later on..
    When I tried sending the activation code using the same cell phone number I had on Viber before It got uninstalled, I receive the code but when I try to put it in it keeps saying that I entered the wrong activation code, I click on the no code feature on the top right corner of Viber, it gives me a code, but when I put that code in it says the same thing ,that I have the wrong access code please try again, and so I researched on the internet and came up to this post, It said to uninstall viber and wait 24 hours to install it again, I waited 24hours and tried it again, but it STILL does the same thing. and... I even tried entering my other phone number, yet it does the same thing and shows me the same message that I entered the wrong access code....It is getting frustrating! May you please Help ME?! What can I do??

  • HT201263 Can anyone help? I cannot activate my  iphone after an ios7 update.

    Can anyone help? I cannot activate my iphone4 after an ios7 update. I have carried out a  recovery-mode restore but when the phone is switched back on I enter the UserID and Password that are verified via itunes and icloud but no joy. It tells me the used ID and password are not correct.  This is is second hand phone that I have hand for a year. Apple says that I have to contact the previous owner to get their User Name and Password. This is impossible.They might have even passed away. I can believe Apple would do such a crazy software release.  There must be thousands of people in my shoes. 

    This is the new Activation Lock feature that users have been wanting for years to prevent stolen phones from being restored and used by the thief.
    If you cannot get the password to the previous user's AppleID then the phone will be useless to you.

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • After my macbook was serviced, when I tried to open CS6, it prompted me to key in the serial number. After keying in, I got error message saying the serial number is invalid. However I have checked that it is correct.

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Help! When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number is invalid

    When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number (Design and Web Prem <serial number removed>) is not valid? Why???? I have it installed now on just one computer only. It was installed also on a computer and a laptop. The laptop crashed and couldn't restart anymore. I had to through it away. After that I installed on another computer at a place where I work sometimes with photoshop. Then suddenly I got message at my computer home that the serialnumber is invalid. I installed for the time an try out version, and now I have deleted the version that I had on the computer but when i want to reinstall my legal bought version with the serial number that i mention there, I get again the message that my serial number is invalid. But now it is only installed on 1 other computer. If I check the sites, I have to contact Adobe but I don't know how. The link does not work and I cannot find any phonenumber.!!

    If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine.  YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.

  • CS6 serial number now invalid?

    I bought CS6 student and teacher edition a while ago. I had all sorts of problems with the initialization. I installed one version on my macbook pro and one version on my macbook air as I work from home on one and travel with the other. About 1 month ago my illustrator, in design and photoshop ceased to open. I get an error message saying that my serial number is invalid, and already used on a maximum of two machines, that I need a new serial number. I have only ever had the program installed on two machines. I tried to install it on my old macbook pro but it was too old to take the newer version of the software so I couldn't even install it, let alone activate it. (The new macbook pro was a replacement).
    I have no idea what to do. Other than uninstall and reinstall all the programs which is a complete pain.
    With all the issues I had just getting the software this is the last thing I need
