CS6 Product key on HDD that was wiped

Hello,
Recently my Mac HDD was wiped (accidentally while installing Linux). That being said I had no time to take my product key off my product. When I try to register my product (from a CD installation) it tells me that my key has been used. Are there any troubleshooting strategies for this?
Thanks

How long a CS6 product key is valid?

Early this year I received as a gift a retail copy of CS6 Master Collection for Windows which came with the product key (serial number). I have not installed it yet on any computer. How long in the future is this product key valid? Can I install this CS6 copy a year or two from now? Will this product key be still valid at that time or does it have a time limit? Wil I be able to activate it after installation in the future?
     I do realize that Adobe does not support CS6 anymore, no updates, but the question is not whether I want to move to Creative Cloud subscription. The question is how long I can wait with the CS6 installation.
     Please respond to isakten@hotmail .com
     Thank you.

The CS6 serial number will be valid as long as Adobe servers used to activate the product are still running. In other words, CS6 products were perpetual licensed and so they are valid as long as you wish to use them.
It is interesting that you don't want to use for another year or two. Any reasons for this? In two years time we might have completely different technology so you may want to use the new technology rather than the old one.
Any way you should be alright in two years time.
Good luck.

I need to open iPhone that was wiped with Notes Traveler, appID not working

I have a phone (iphone5C) that I´ve sent a command "Wipe Device" using Notes traveler on Noted Domino 9.0.1. The phone is in locked state and unable to use the appID that was used to set the phone up. Think that there must be somekind of an software error in "Find my Iphone" or the cloud connect.
The phone asks for an appID s******@s*****.is and that is the correct appID. But when I log in , the phone says that the phone can not be unlocked using this email address.

That's not how an iPhone should have been wiped. I have no idea what Notes traveler is but perhaps you should contact the developer since it was their software used to send the command.

I lost my sync key when my harddrive was wiped, so how do I get a new sync key without deleting my saved data?

I synced my firefox bookmarks so that I could reupload them if ever my computer got wiped, so I don't have a second device with the sync key on it. I made the mistake of only saving the sync key on the computer. I just got my computer back from the shop and they wiped my operating system without asking. Now I don't have my sync key and the only way to access my sync account requires that I change the sync key and delete all the data saved on the server. How can I get access to my data?

Sorry, without your Sync Key your data is worthless, it can't be de-crypted, and creating a new Sync Key will wipe it from the Sync server.
BTW, the Firefox Sync service isn't meant for "backups", it is meant to synchronize your Firefox data between different "devices". Any chance you had more than one device setup with that Sync account? If so, you can use the Sync Key from that device.

How do I delete Windows 7 from Paralells so that I can use the Product Key on a different computer?

I bought Windows 7 to install on my Mac via Paralells. When I wasn't home, my brother took it and installed it on his computer. Now, I was able to install Windows 7 on my computer but I cannot activate it, since I can only use the Product Key for one computer. How can I get the Product Key deactivated so that I can use it on my computer?

How to get my product key that is not in my e-mail?

I purchased Adobe pro on April 03, 2014 and I have 2 emails acknowledging my purchase and welcoming me to Adobe.
I never received my product key and now that my trial subscription is ended I am prompted to register my product.
I can not find a customer support phone number to call and get the help I desperately need.
I send electronic billing to the federal government using OB10 and I must use PDF as the required attachment method.
Please advise what phone number allows me to reach a live person in customer support.

Office 2013: can't retrieve the Product Key via Belarc Advisor

Hi,
Isn't it possible anymore to retrieve the Office Product Key installed on a computer via third party inventory software such as Belarc Advisor? I used to do that to see the Microsoft Office Product Key installed on a computer for previous Office versions.
However, I tried with a computer where Office 2013 Home and Business is installed and Belarc Advisor didn't show its Product Key. Is it due to the new license management that consists of linking it to a Microsoft account and only entering the account credentials
during the installation process instead of the Product Key? Isn't the Product Key stored somewhere on the computer anymore?

Hi,
Thanks for your answer although it's a typical half useless reply from an official Microsoft staff...
Actually, I understand that Microsoft doesn't support third party software to retrieve a product key but my question was rather technical and driven by curiosity rather by the need of retrieving the product key. Indeed, I took over a computer park in a company
and I'm performing an IT inventory. During this inventory, I retrieve Windows and Office Product Key. The licenses are genuine but since I'm not the one who purchased and installed these computer, I don't know them. Therefore, a simple solution is to use inventory
software such as Belarc Advisor. But I noticed that it can't retrieve Office 2013 Product Key anymore whereas it was able with previous versions of Office.
So to reformulate the question: isn't the Product Key stored somewhere locally on the computer anymore with Office 2013? Because if no, that would explain why third party software can't retrieve it anymore.
My question is rather technical about the new way of managing Product Key with Office 2013 and driven by curiosity. So I don't need any official technical assistance.
Thanks

Have Windows OEM Product Key -but key is not accepted when Installing New Windows 8.1 Disk

I was able to secure the Product Key for what I thought was a Windows 8.1 OS on my Toshiba notebook. I believe my notebook ORIGINALLY had an OEM version of 8.0 (was pre-loaded when I bought the notebook) but at some point I updated the OS to 8.1. I
was able to verify that I was currently using 8.1 via the Bios set-up utility. After securing the product key, I contacted Microsoft and they agreed to send me 32 and 64 bit versions of Window 8.1 free of charge (so as long as I covered the shipping.)
When I went to install the 8.1 disk, I received a message stating that the product key didn't work. I can't help but wonder IF perhaps because my PC originally came with 8.0 that it's product key won't work with 8.1? When Microsoft asked
WHICH version I had on my PC, I had advised that I was using 8.1. They never asked what was the ORIGINAL OS?
Any ideas?

thanks for replies. I suppose it would be helpful for me to explain why I needed the product key and the new Microsoft Windows 8.1 discs in the first place. This was never a matter of merely trying to activate the OS. Last week- my
notebook went in to standby mode- a very normal process when I would step away from the notebook for a decent amount of time. When I tried touched the power button to release it from stand by, I received a message that the OS was not able to start up
due to TWO (very specific) files that were either missing or had been corrupted. The message recommended re-installing the OS in order to re-insalll or otherwise correct the file errors. I spent a good 3-4 hours researching this on a number of
Microsoft/ IT sites, and it appeared this was a very common error -stemming from "boot disk error" -or "errors with hard drive/ partitions". I then began my trek to a) locate the product key (of which I was able to secure from the BIOS) and b) have Microsoft
send me the Windows 8.1 discs. Hope this helps and thanks again.

Need To Find Product Key For Windows 8

It's my son's laptop and I bought it brand new in January 2013. It crashed two months later. I tried to get help through HP but to no avail. They told me to update the BIOS, which I did, and it worked for maybe a week and crashed again. I had a friend wipe it and start over twice after that because it just kept crashing. I then called HP, since it was still under warranty, to have them send me a new one since this one was obviously defective and the lady with whom I spoke said she would have someone call me back to help me. This never happened. I just gave up on it and bought another laptop in March 2013...the same exact brand, model, specs, etc. and have had absolutely NO problems with it since. I've since decided that it merely needs a new hard drive, which I am more than happy to purchase and install. It is the only thing my son has asked for as a Christmas present this year. The problem I have is that I don't have the product key for the OS. It came installed with Windows 8 and I have read through several other messages and understand that it is not something you can buy, however, I do believe, and feel that I am entititled, to have the product key so that I can properly fix my son's laptop. After all, it was a defective laptop/hard drive with which to begin and since HP support was actually of no support whatsoever HP should be willing to help with this situation. I have only ever used HP for desktops and laptops and have since 2001 and this is the first product I have purchased that was probelmatic.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi:
Microsoft did away with OEM product key stickers starting on all PC's that come with W8.
The OEM product key is now encoded into the BIOS in order to prevent it being used on other PC's.
So, your notebook does have a product key.
You just can't read it and if you order recovery media for the specific model notebook, or use a Windows 8 OEM installation disk you won't need the key.
It will automatically enter itself during the installation.

How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell?
Thanks,
Tom

Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued. If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

Where is all Windows 7 related information, and what is my Product Key?

Hi folks,
I have a U150, I bought it from lenovo 15 days ago. And just now I realized that it has no windows related information in the package. In old times there was a sticker at the bottom of laptops that has product key, a booklet that has product key, Windows CD etc...
The only windows related sticker is on the palmrest, right hand side of the touchpad and there is windows logo on it, nothing else.
There was no CD, (this is ok of course hence no disk drive on U150), no booklet, no product key information, no piece of paper related to windows, just lenovo booklets..
Are they missing? or this is the new trend? What if I want to re-install windows without using one-key recovery button? I think I can use a program that shows Win7 product key. Not only I do not trust them, (they can send this key somewhere next time computer connects to internet), but also I want to do this right way...
Thanks in advance....
Solved!

Oh,
I just put the battery, plug it on the wall and started using it. Never tought it might be in there, after realizing looking for it. When I am home in the evening, I'll check..
Thanks for the advice...
Edit: Yes, it was there... thank you..

Time Machine did not restore Microsoft Office for MAC Product Key

My Tdisk failed and was replaced under AppleCare. I then restored from my Time Machine Backup. I used the (Command R Power keys to initiate this). It completed without errors (eventually).
All Apps that I tried seemed to have been recovered successfully except when I attempted toload my MS Office for MAC Apps, I was asked for my product key.
Unfortunattely this was saved in an email on my system and I cannot retrieve it since I cannot open my MS Outlook.
Does anyone have a solution I might try?
Has anything similar happened to others?
I would appreciate any help you might be able to give.
Barry

There are a few apps that seem to record the identifier (UUID) of the disk they're installed on, as an anti-piracy measure.
I don't use that app, but as Thomas says, if you know (or can figure out) where & how the emails are stored, you may be able to use the TM browser to locate the backup copy of the email, and either use QuickLook on it, or restore it to an alternate location, such as your Desktop, and examine it there.
If you haven't done a new backup yet, Time Machine won't have "associated" the new disk with the old backups, so the backups of the old disk won't appear normally. If so, you'll need the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see them.
