CS6 for iMAC keep asking for serial number nearly everyday

Hello,
There is an iMAC (OSX 10.10) in my company which was purchased 2 years ago with CS6 Design Standard installed.
There was no problem at all after the purchase.
However recently, CS6 keep asking the user to type the serial number nearly everyday(see attached image); the software can be used normally once the serial number is entered.
The user is a general user without admin privilege. Anyway I have tried to closed all adobe products, login with admin account and enter the correct serial number, it works as usual; however after one or two days CS6 still asking for serial again... so I guess this problem shall not related to user account privilege.
I believe my serial key is a volume license key.
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders.

Creative Suite 6 Design Standard (for Mac) keeps asking for the Serial Number ... over and over!

My iMac has a well-installed Creative Suite 6 Design Standard. I have a valid serial (purchased it) and it works fine. Every couple of months though the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me wether I want to continue the test-period or if I am willing to enter the serial number. So I dig into my papers and get the serial number out ... it is accepted every time and works fine then. But after some time - there we go again: I have to enter the number.
I faced this issue a while ago and read that it was recommended to update the Application Manger - which I did. But ... still being bothered by these kinds of questions from time to time.
What can I do?
Information
27" iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 (it is not possible to update the OS --- this is the reason why I am running CS6)

Why does office for Mac keep asking for passwords?

Very frustrating!!
Not only can I sync Outlook for Mac with my i-phone contacts, Mail & Calandar, but it also keeps asking for email passwords.
this now means the gmail accounts outlook for Mac is connecting to has kicked me out because too manny sign in's have occured.
Why is something so simple, so complicated!!
And another thig, can't connect to the SONOS app, was working perfectly, then just will not connect now!!
Its a brand new Mac pro, working with Mavericks and making lifr differcult.
Shall we go back to a PC?

Please uninstall MacKeeper, this is considered malware for OS X. Google it and you will find many many negative things about it. MacKeeper has it's own uninstall utility to uninstall itself, please use it. OS X unlike MS Windows does not need third party apps to keep itself in good shape, no antivirus apps, no "cleaning" apps etc. The very best thing you can do for your computer is keeping it up-to-date by using Software Update and using a small amount of common sense. While there is a very small amount of malware out there for OS X using that common sense part will help, for example don't visit torrent sites and download illegal software, do not download anything from a pop-up that says, "You must..."
In closing about MacKeeper please read this article by one of the more very knowledgeable people on these forums:

See if your Keychain needs any repairs: Utillities>Keychain Access and from the Keychain Access menu select Keychain First Aid, type your admin password where shown and click on 'verify'. Click on 'repair' if necessary.

Outlook 2011 for MAC keeps asking for password

Outlook for MAC 2011 keeps asking me for google password. It wont accept what i put in. The password is correct along with name because it works when I enter it in google. I recently updated password.
Need help in fixing or finding problem.
Error message: Mail could not be received at this time.
The server for account Gmail returned the error (authentification failed) invalid credentials.
Failure: You username/password or security settings may be incorrect.
But they are correct as I can logon to Google without problem.
Could it have anything to due with two stage security in google?

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this-yes, eventually, I do send/receive fine, once I've poppedd my passwords in.
I think you are right in that BT seem to be having unique server/login issues...at least this is what I've read elsewhere too.
Iroonically, this AM I opened my new Mac and have *not* been asked for passwords so perhaps the changes I made in the settings yesterday (keychain reset in Mac) and also changing it from smtp.....to mail.btinternet.com solved the issue...who knows? All I know is this last week I've nearly lost the will to live on more than one occasion, from the transition from PC Windows Live Mail to Outlook for Mac.

Keep asking a serial number when downloading the app via DPS App Builder

I've already created an app via InDesign and DPS App Builder, but the program don't let me download the app! It says I have to activate the produt with a serial number, but since I bought a Creative Cloud membership, I don't have any number. Any one know what can I do to make it work?
Here's the prints with the messages

Make sure that you follow Creative Cloud workflow by clicking on Create App from Folio Builder Panel. Also your delete your current build, reinstall DPS App Builder and Try again. If you do not have the delete button in your App builder, let us know.

IMac keeps asking for user account password when changing Airport

Whenever I change anything in Airport (switching networks mainly) my iMac constantly prompts me to submit my user account password. All other macs don't do that. Any clues?

Suggest that if you haven't already taken the next steps....open System Preferences > Network > AirPort and delete the current wireless connection by highlighting the name of the network, then clicking the - (minus) button at the bottom of the connection list. Click OK and then Apply.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access and locate the name of the wireless network, then highlight and delete that entry.
Restart your Mac to see if that will allow you to start fresh.
If still no luck, I'm afraid it's getting down to a re-installation of the operating system on the Mac.

Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number

Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number, but only on one of my Macs. This is a new Mac that I restored from my old Mac. It made sense to have to put in the documentation the first time, but the program keeps asking for it. Any thoughts?

Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library; this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
SInce you migrated your system from another mac, you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

Why does Acrobat X CS6 keep asking for a license number?

Why does Acrobat X CS6 keep asking for a license number? When I enter it, it's declined. I have the suite from school and loading it at home as allowed as the teacher.

Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

This is also happening to me.
I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
This is total BS.
I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
You are on thin ice with me Adobe.
