Encore asking for serial CS4

It never asked me before...
And I bought the full CS4 Premiere software package.
Even though it says try trial mode, there is no trial mode listed, so I can't even install Premiere...

You MAY have this problem...

Encore asking for serial number

I got Adobe CC and then instal Encore CS6, by installing Premiere CS6 also.
But now, when I open Encore CS6 is asking by the Serial Number and it won't open.
So... Encore CS6 comes or not with CC??!!

Stan, that is exactly what I am saying. The link works, but the task of Un-installing and reinstalling is redundant and very time consuming; usually yealiding a fix for a day, only having to be done again and again.
I think the argument here is that a large portion of Adobe clients still produce work for physical media. Everyone I know who uses Adobe CC or the old CS express the same frustration as I do about abandoning Encore and physical media creation.
Adobe killing Encore doesn't make sense to me because physical media is still a viable commodity. Bestbuy, Target, Wal-Mart all have about an acre of floor space dedicated to DVDs, Blu-ray, CD's and even Vinyl. Amazon still offers conventional physical media in the aforementioned formats for music, movies, and videogames. Physical media is not dead. I see the trend, I say in about 10 years physical media will be nostolgic but right now it's still in demand and profitable.
Most of my business are 18-35 year old brides that not only demand DVD and Bluray copies of their weddings but expect; it with out question. Even a large portion of my corporate clients want the end product on a physical medium such as DVD or Blu-ray. Hollywood produces hundred million dollar productions and still print to physical media such as DVD and Blu-ray.
I enjoy my adobe CC I am a fan of the subscritpion service, it's improved the quality while lowering the cost of what I do, but I am also becoming frustrated with a few product decisions Adobe has made recently: Dropping Encore, and not servicing the issues with Premiere Pro Effects not playing nice with AMD video cards.

Encore asking for Serial code

when i open up my trial version of encore CS6 it asks me for a serial code which i don't have

Encore CS6 asks for serial number? I have a Cloud membership!

Why would this happen? I know Encore CC can't work with Premiere CC so i installed Premiere CS6 & uninstalled it and left Encore CS6. NOW ENCORE ASKS FOR A SERIAL NUMBER! Saying it's a demo version!!

If Encore CS6 in cloud install asks for serial number:

Installed Photoshop cc 2014 asks for serial # - corrupted Windows file permissions

More of a warning / heads up to all than a question - installing Photoshop cc 2014 [via the CC manager app] caused some Windows file (security) permissions to become corrupt corrupt on my system. Symptoms include cc2014 asking for serial number validation on startup (when, as a cloud version, it should not do so), then being unable to connect to the internet when you press the 'validate serial' button so getting that window into infinite loops, and - a real pain in the *** when trying to fix the above - causing abends of some windows shell functions that in turn cause windows explorer to crash and restart.
Anyhow, digging into this (fortunately, I am a long time Windows SysProg) I discovered that for reasons unknown, either the CC master app or the actual Photoshop cc2014 installer (or both) are changing file access control permissions on a number of files, mostly DLL's. Most of the files affected are in the (normally hidden) Program Data directory on the windows root disk, Some of them are in the Adobe subdirectory - so fair enough if they want to fool around with their own program - but others being changed are in the Common Files and Microsoft subdirectories. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is necessary nor why Adobe feel the need to touch files that 'do not belong' to them - something dangerous in the extreme as an external app such as Windows Update might replace or 'repair' the files so touched, and if Adobe / CC are relying on file permissions on non-Adobe files, such changes could result in all manner of random and spurious problems / error messages occurring.
Anyhow, if, fellow Photoshop cc 2014 user, you get this happen to you then you can fix the file permissions by opening a console window [also called a "DOS box", or "command prompt" depending on your age and knowledge... 8-) ] and run the windows file checker with the command
"sfc /scannow". Make sure that you use 'run as administrator' to open the console window, or you'll get an error about sfc only being available to administrators. Also a very (very) sensible idea to close all non-essential running applications first to prevent any possibility of weird interactions happening.
Finally, check that the 'hosts' file in [root drive]:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc is valid - for some reason, it looks like the install tried to check or update this file (again, I have no idea why) but the result was a corrupted hosts file, which I assume is the root cause of the 'unable to connect to host' type internet error messages. Copy the file, rename it as 'hosts.txt' and edit it with notepad or wordpad. Look for lines containing garbage strings at the bottom of the file (any line that starts with a # ignore, it is a comment, and any line that has IP addresses or host names should be ignored - though if they reference a site such as "someserver.adobe.com" you might want to treat them with suspicion if you continue to get internet 'cant connect to site' type errors.
Anyhow, when I fixed these two sets of problems, Photoshop cc 2014 started 'right first time' without all the BS messages about serial numbers etc.
Hope this helps somebody out there in AdobeLand......

Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.

Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello there,
Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Pierre
PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.

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.

Have a membership Adobe says I have a free membership , trying to re-load and/or update INDesign CC - Keeps Asking for serial

I Have had a paid membership for over a year, Adobe says I have a free membership , I have PAS and AI installed and updated - When trying to re-load and/or update INDesign CC - Keeps saying my trial is over and is asking for serial number. I have uninstalled Indesign and the Creative Cloud desktop App.
Running on a PC, Windows 7 Professional
Any suggestions.

I cannot tell you how to resolve this, but I can tell you what happened to me since I made the mistake of buying a year's membership.
Like you, I noticed that despite paying the fee and it leaving my account, I still only had access to the trial versions of the apps. I read around and some people commented that it took some time for the billing team and other teams to co-ordinate information at busy times (though it seemed odd a company of Adobe's size would have this workflow) and as I could still make do with the trial apps, I waited.
Eventually, with the trial days going down to the low digits, I contacted Adobe "customer support" to ask how I could rectify the problem. They cheerfully told me that I had not purchased a subscription from them, that I was not on their records and with this the implication that my expectation was foolish as I didn't own their product. I supplied some bank information to show I had paid and they had taken money, but I just got the same poorly worded response telling me records had been checked and there was no way I had been charged. The issue was closed and it was clear to me I could not change their mind despite having evidence that clearly indicated Adobe had charged me the exact payment for the service I was asking about.
As some weeks had gone by I resolved to contact my bank, but the birth of my Daughter in late October meant I forgot to do so. My mistake, I know, but I think understandable. I noticed that in late November another charge was taken from my account (and I checked to see if I could access the apps but I was still being asked to provide a serial number I was never given (or needed if other people are correct on this). I contacted my Bank and asked them to prevent any more charges and also to begin the process of charging back the money for a service I never received. I sent them the correspondence I had with Adobe, in which they said I had never purchased the service, as well as copies of my account to go with the data they had access to. My money was refunded before Christmas, which I was very glad to see. I thought that it would be the end of it for a while and resolved to cancel. However under my account details it still shows I only have a free membership! I cannot cancel something I do not have!
I have now received a letter from my bank indicating Adobe have contested my charge back, and they have supplied documents that show I have signed up for and paid for the year's service. There is no indication of them acknowledging that despite the fact I never denied signing up, they failed to provide the service I paid for! Just that they want the money back!
So now I am in a situation where I cannot cancel and will continue to be charged for something that I still cannot access! I will continue to see if I can fight with the aid of my bank, but its a rather distressing that a company can hold you over a barrel for something you never got, even by their own admission.
I hope that you get a better resolution than I did.

Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
I don't understand.

First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number

Can't access Adobe After Effects CC - being asked for serial number

Hi there,
I've just spent an hour on a very slow customer chat box, and then it cut off.
The guy gave me one suggestion: delete the database file from AppData > Local > Adobe > OOBE
It didn't work.
So, I'm not sure what to do. I can't access my product as it keeps asking for a serial number, but I'm on CC so I don't have one, as far as I know.
Very frustrating.
I appreciate any help you could provide.

Flex keep asking for serial

Hi.
I can't get Flex 3 to work. Every time I start it up it's asking for the serial and the v2 serial (since I have an upgraded license). After that it says that Flex is successfully unlocked (or something). But then I can't edit any files, the file tabs is visible, but not the content. I've just tried to download v3 from adobe.com, but still no luck.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks.
By the way, I'm on OSX 10.5.7.

HI Globin,
You can follow the article: Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number which might help you to get this issue fixed.
Let me know if you face any issues while working on that.
Thanks,
