Does HP have a record mapping system serial number to OS product key?

It has come to pass that my HP 6730s laptop a) needs Win 7 Pro installed and b) the product key on the bottom has worn off over time. I could download the Win7 ISO to reinstall but I need my original product key. Any chance it's somewhere recoverable other than on my former laptop?
This question was solved.

Hi:
HP does not keep any records like that.
Order a set of recovery disks, and you shouldn't need the product key.
If you live in the USA/Canada, call 1-800-334-5144.
Have the model # and serial # of the notebook handy to give to the customer services rep.
A set of recovery disks will cost you $10.00 delivered.

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.

Does Adobe have a record of downloads by a customer?

I recently had problems with my computer which required a wipe and reload of my main hard drive. I had some preloaded Adobe software (Elements and Premiere) which I lost in the process.. Does Adobe keep records of, and downloads for reinstallation of previously purchased software? Or will I have to buy it? I'm not interested in the subscription products, but do like the software.

You can download some software from here:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
The important thing is the serial number(s). If you registered your software then Adobe should have records of your serial number. Login to adobe.com and click Manage account then look in the Products and Purchases areas.

I have not been sent a serial number after subscribing to Captivate for a year. Does anyone know how I can get it?

I have not been sent a serial number after subscribing to Captivate for a year. Does anyone know how I can get it? Or how to actually speak to someone in Adobe ??? Very frustrating!
Thanks

You have to just sign in with your Adobe Id during the installation process and it will validate your subscription from the activation server. Once your Id is validated then your subscription will be activated. You don't need serial number to activate subscription.
You may download the product from the link mentioned below.

Today I have downloaded the program with the serial number, now I'm doing the istallation he asks me the serial number, I put it and he tells me that I need also the serial number of the previous version. How can I find the serial number of the trial version?

What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal

Sorry, but that opportunity has long passed. Your options now are:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

When restarting Aperture 3 I have to sign in with serial number each time.

This seems like a new problem, only started happening recently. Anyone else had this and know of a solution?

What did you do, before this started?
Did you install or upgrade? Did Aperture crash?
Which Aperture 3 version do you have? One of the recent updates had a bugfix for this problem in certain situations.
Are you entering the registration umber while signed in as an administrator? If not, try that.
Otherwise Aperture may have trouble to write the serial number to the system library.
A common problem preventing Aperture from storing the serial number is that occasionally the file /Library/Application Support/ProApps/ProApp System ID becomes corrupted.
Quit Aperture, remove this file from the System library, log off and on again and launch Aperture again. Enter the serial number. Does Aperture now remember the serial number?
Sometimes Aperture writes the "ProApp System ID" file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If deleting the "ProApp System ID" from the Library 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 the file there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps

SCCM issue - "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number"

I have a problem with the error "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number" recurring.
I am trying to install Acrobat XI Std silently by SCCM.
I've used the Adobe Customisation Wizard to create a mst which include the volume serial number we have with our licence purchases. Note that I am in Australia. I use the command line in SCCM for the install as "msiexec /i "AcroStan.msi" TRANSFORMS="D&B_AcroStd.mst" /qn" which fails silently. If I install on a local machine using an admin command prompt and changing to /qb at the end, I get the aforementioned error.
I have a few things to try and resolve, having searched the adobe forums and other forums for the solution. The mst is only trying to install US English & I have even gone so far as to use the direct editor in the customisation wizard and change some values in the property table to resolve this. In the property table I can confirm that LANG_SEL_DEFAULT = ENU, REGIONAL_LIST = ENU, LANG_LIST = en_US, ProductLanguage = 1033
Is there a way to check the language specified for ym serial number?

Update on a couple of details:
@Sabian,
Thanks for the location, I've downloaded and then when I tried an install of the newly extracted msi (admittedly on the same computer) I got exactly the same issue. Of note though is that running /qf automatically brought up the same serial number and the same incorrectly spelled company name. Installing on another computer (freshly imaged) doesn't have those inputs already present under /qf. Next when I try using the transfrom (a new one) with /qr it gives an error of the serial number, displaying the entire serial.
@Sebastian
I've had a look through yours and it seems our issues could have the same origin. Looks like I may have to call customer support regarding the serial number as Sabian suggested in your thread.
The bit that gets me is when the same serial number is used in a manual install (or /qf) then it installs ok without any errors.

Setup.exe gives a "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number"

I ran the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to create a transform file and now when run setup.exe it always come with the error "LANG_LIST has some locales which does not match with the locale of serial number".
It does the same thing when using msi with the command : msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qb!

I don't know what goes wrong as took my serial number on my profile from the adobe web site, same thing for the download of the software.
Does it means that the serial number provided was invalid for deploying ?
NB.: My goal is to deploy our Acrobat XI through SCCM in silent mode and I don't know if there is extra consideration for that. For now it's only not working at the command line.
Another important point is that the install works great without customization ! If I just run the setup.exe from freshly extracted files and I use my serial number, everything is working fine.
So what goes wrong ?

Thanks for the reply brogers_1 and Vinod Dbhal, you gave good hint.
I retried installing the initial package in French on a Windows 7 English and the software installed properly in French.
As I used to work with virtuals for those tests, I rolled back my virtual and redo my test installation with chosing to install it in English on my Windows 7 English and again the installation finished properly but I was surprised when I realized that even if I chose English as language, the software was running in French !
Of course I can change the language settings (in the edit-preferences-language) to follow the operating system witch is nice.
That gave me the cue I needed to know. I started from scratch my customization with choosing only the French language in the "Application Languages" and I left the MUI Languages blank and saved the .mst
I ran again the same command : msiexec /i AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroPro.mst /qb!
And everything works fine.
NB.: As I used the .msi directly, of course I had to install the prerequirement Visual C++ 2010 first. Otherwise the installation failed without any error message.
Thanks again to you for your good hint,
Bob

Well, when you purchase from a non-official source you run the risk of getting who knows what from wherever. It appears this phone was replaced under warranty at some point, but not returned to Apple for refurbishment. Thus, the SN is no longer valid for warranty & service. If you can return it and get your money back, I'd suggest you do so.

But we are now novenber 24th, one month later and I have no serial number and download link on "my adobe" order page.
Chatting is very difficult for non english speaking person. I have no direct email for order resolution where I can take time to answer and ask question.

Help, I purchased Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 (in card form) and when I tried to insert the serial number for the licence I realised it was too short (on the back of the card it is 20 digits and the print off I received from the store is only 19 digits.) I cannot enter a serial number and move on as it won't accept the amount of numbers I have.
Need help asap please. Very frustrated.
