Entered CS6 serial number. Now a serial number from a qualifying product is being requested.

Had to nuke my Windows 7 partition.  Did not deactivate CS6 (just learned about that here).  Now running Windows 8, reinstalled CS6, and now it's barking that my "Serial Number is valid, but..."  
What can I do?

What can I do?
You've entered a CS6 upgrade serial number.
Now you use the Product dropdown box and select whichever version you're upgrading from (e.g. CS5) then enter the CS5 serial number in the Serial Number box next to it.

    It's asking you or prompting you to input the old serial number of the version that you used to upgrade to your new version.

  • How to stop iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad

    How do I stop the iphone 4s from putting a space after the second digit, when entering a text number from the keypad. Entering a text number on the key pad like 61998 comes out on the screen as 61 998 and the sms fails to go.

    The space (or lack thereof) should have no effect on whether or not the SMS goes through. The spacing is intended to make it easier for the human eye to comprehend the number. I'd start by resetting the network settings in General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

  • Computer crashed, reloaded CS5, says serial number not for qualifying product

    Loaded CS5 on new computer successfully.  loaded updates successfully.
    Trying to load CS5 on 2nd computer (old computer with new Windows 7 installation) and after it loads and I try to install updates... the updates fail to load and I get the following error message: 
    Error "This serial number is not for a qualifying product" | CS6, CS5.5, CS5
    any help is appreciated.

    Missiejackson the error you are experiencing is likely due to a previous installation of Adobe Creative software.  Please use the available uninstallers in the Programs and Features control panel to remove any installed software.  Once this is done you will want to run the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure complete removal.  You can find instructions and a download link at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    Finally if you need a fresh copy of the installation files they are available at Download CS5 products.

    I keep getting an invalid serial number when re-installing Adobe Acrobat 9 I am getting my serial number from my registered products

    If it was an upgrade version, it may be you are being asked for the qualifying product S/N and are entering the new S/N instead. That would cause a problem.

  • Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

    I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system.  When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product.  I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict.  My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3.  I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.

  • Qualifying product serial number not recognized as valid

    I am attempting to load my new CS6.  I selected CS3 as my qualifying product, but the screen message states that the CS3 serial number I entered is not from a qualifying product.  I entered the CS3 serial number directly from the CS3 case, doublechecked it and triplechecked it.  The serial number I entered is correct.  What do I do? 

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

    If you purchased CS6 since January of this year CS3 is not an eligible version for upgrade.  It was prior to January, but not after.

    When I try to launch the product, it says the Serial Number is valid but a qualifying product couldnt be found on the computer..same error others are reporting,  I  have been waiting for over 1 month and have not been able to get an anwer .  

    You purchased the upgrade version and the serial number of the qualifying product is needed to complete the install. If it can not find a qualifying product installed on the machine, it should be asking you for the SN of that product, not the SN of the new install.

    Hello my name is Vittorio. 2 years ago i've bought the CS6 master collection which has worked perfectly until recently.
    Now i keep getting the question to enter my serial number and when i do that i get the Invalid reaction. But it is the same number that worked before! What can i do to make CS6 work again?

    Hi Vittorio,
    We would like to know if you have re-installed your product on this machine. We would also like to know your OS version.
    Meanwhile, try:

    I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

    The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:

  • After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.
