Error code when trying to install CS2 -- it never asks for my serial number

I am trying to install Photoshop that I have to use for work - It's on a Mac. It allows me to do everything - including the install - and then stops with just seconds left and says to contact adobe. Adobe has been no help. I have noticed that it never prompted me to enter a serial number, which I assumed it would do. Can anyone help?

    I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

    If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
    If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
    IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

  • After installing, why is lightroom asking for a serial number, when I am a CC subscriber

    after installing, why is lightroom asking for a serial number, when I am a CC subscriber - I am logged in to my CC account

    I have the same issue. I downloaded for my 30 day trial. My time was up, I started my CC subscription and I'm still prompted for a serial number.

  • I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license.  It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number.  I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

    I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008.  The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop.  the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number.  the programs will open but I can not open any files,  I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message.  Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

    activate is grayed out.  Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet"  So I select "submit again" and nothing happens.  Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

  • Constantly getting error code when trying to install Photoshop CC!

    I have been trying for the past hour to attempt to re-install CC.  My PC had an error and had to go back to the last saved good image, and that was, unfortunately, before CC was installed. (Which was on the 10th)  I have removed, reinstalled, etc. The cloud app multiple times as well as used the cloud cleaner.  Along with that, I have gone into the appdata file on my PC and deleted the database file for the cloud app but still no luck once-so-ever.  I have checked for remnants of the original CC file and can find nothing at all!  The error code I am getting is below:
    Exit Code: 21

    I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me at this point, as I've gotten rather frustrated with the process as you can imagine!
    Thank you for your time!

    I've had an open ticket since Saturday night, unfortunately, I have had no luck in a response yet!  I'm still holding out hope.  I haven't owned any other copy of photoshop but CS2 a long time ago!  Got out of it but coming back because I miss the creative freedom it allowed with website, content, personal documentation, photo, and artwork design!  So I'm sorely disappointed at the issue right now, I seriously want to subscribe to the PS bundle, but it's just not going to happen if I can't even get it to install!  Plus all this talk about fun stuff to do and re-learn in Photoshop is getting me even more impatient! Vicious circle, I tell ya!

  • Error code when trying to install Camera Raw update 6.6 to CS5 Extended

    I am trying to install the camera raw update 6.6 to my newly purchased CS5 extended and I keep getting an error code U44M2P7, or U44M1P7. I really need to figure this out because it will not read the raw files from my Nikon D7000 without this update. Business will be picking up for me in the next few weeks so I hope to get this figured out soon. Thanks in advance for any help!
    Also, I run a Mac OS X v. 10.6.8

    Have you tried to download and install directly from Adobe, instead of using the Updater in PS?

  • Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
    You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.
