FCP 7.0 upgrade problem recognizing serial number

I am upgrading from FCP 6.0.6 to 7.0 on my new MacBook Pro but I can't get the installation disc to recognize the serial number. If I enter an incorrect number it will immediately say so, but when I enter the correct number I just get the spinning wheel. I've tried reinserting the disc, restarting the computer, etc. etc. but nothing will get it past the serial number page. The computer meets all the system requirements for 7.0. Also, I did successfully use the 7.0 disc to upgrade FCP on my MacPro desktop machine so I know the installation disc is not defective. Any ideas?

Thanks but that did not solve the problem. So, I went back in and uninstalled FCP 6.0.1 (following instructions on the Apple site) and reinstalled it. FCP 6.0.1 works fine but the upgrade still fails to get past the serial number input. I have another 7.0 upgrade disc here at work so I tried it to be sure it's not a problem with the disc. I did get a different result with the other disc: after inputting the 7.0 serial number, another prompt opened and asked me to input the original serial number for 6.0, which I inputted. Then it too went into spinning wheel mode. It must be searching for something and can't find it???

Problem with serial number Lr2 to Lr4 upgrading

Welcome. I have a problem in LR 4 I use Lr2 upgrade to L4. From time to time my PC lost the serial number of the program. I have to enter the new LR2 and LR4 number losing all presets. After reinstalling Windows 7 is still the problem exists. Is it possible to send me a new LR4 for installations already without error?

Your presets should not be lost even if you have to re-license LR4 with 2 serial numbers. Something else must be resetting things on your computer. Are you using System Restore?
Make a backup of your critical LR files elsewhere on your computer and if they are reset or lost, restore from that backup.
Your serial number Is stored in this file:
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration.lrreg
Your presets are stored, here or with your catalog:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\[preset or template folder]\[preset or template filename.lrtemplate]
Your preferences are stored here:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs
You can download LR 4.4.1 from here:

Have a new FCP Studio 2...having problems with serial number

I just got FCP Studio 2 and it came with a serial number upgrade. When I put it in it tells me to put my original serial number in, so I put my serial number from my FCP 3 and it tells me it is invalid....
What do I do? How can it be invalid when I use my FCP 3 nearly everyday?!
Anyone have any suggestions?

Refer to Apples upgrade page on the website to see what upgrade goes with what. You need to see what you need to upgrade to run FCS 2.
FCP --> FCS 1
FCS --> FCS 2
(everything has its own price, depending what you are upgrading from)
Hope that helps

Upgrade trouble - invalid serial number??

Hello all,
Maybe I'm just missing something obvious here, but I'm trying to upgrade Logic 7.2 to Logic Studio.
Early on in the install there is a prompt for entering your serial number. I do that, using the serial number on the Logic Studio install documentation. Then I receive another prompt asking for my original serial number, or to insert my xskey. My xskey is always attached to my mac, so I figured I don't have an original serial number, and my xskey is attached, so I select continue. But then I get a prompt that reads "The serial number you have entered is invalid", and the install can't continue.
Is there something I am supposed to enter in that second serial number prompt? Seems like my xskey is not being recognized. But my 7.2 install runs flawlessly.
Now this is the interesting thing, the xskey I have is old (been using Logic for years). It's one of the old Emagic keys (the blue one), not the Apple xskeys. Could this be a problem? Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a work-around?
Thanks in advance.

That has to be frustrating waiting for that...
My L8 upgrade is ordered, hope I don't go through that.
So do you have the original manual that came with L7 upgrade?
Mine has it on the inside cover, haven't looked at the dongle # to see if they are the same.
As well, is your dongle updated to the latest? That's what I had trouble doing with the 7 upgrade, I had to update the dongle first. Mind you you're using 7.xx so it should already upgraded, but just thinking.

Problem with serial number while reinstalling CS6 Design Standard on new computer

I have a new Computer (Windows 8) and am now trying to install my Adobe Design Standard CS 6.
I bought that suite and installed it sucessfully on my old computer in Jan 13 as an Upgrade to Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5 (which was also an Upgrade Version from another Adobe Product).
When beginning the installation on my new computer today , I was asked for my serial number. The serial number for my Adobe Design Standard CS6 was accepted, however, that is only an Upgrade Version.
As the Product I'm upgrading from I chose the option Adobe Design Standard CS5.5 and gave my serial number for that product.
Then I got the message: 'Diese Seriennummer gilt nicht für ein kompatibles Produkt. Geben Sie eine andere Seriennummer ein', which means translated: This serial number is not valid for a compatible Produkt. Give another serial number.
I don't know why my Adobe Design Standard CS6 should not be compatible to my Adobe Design Standard CS 5.5 and I don't have another serial number.
Could you help me with this problem?
Regards
Eva

Problem with serial number on second install

I bought and downloaded CS4 upgrade. The first install on my desktop went fine. When trying to install the second on my laptop, the serial number box turns up a red x immediately upon typing it. I have verified my serial number and re-typed it numerous times. I did an on-line chat and after a half hour wait was told they couldn't help me. Gave me two phone numbers to call for licensing problem, both long distance. I called both numbers and got fax machines both times. This is frustrating, thus my screen name.....frustrated Brooks. Can anyone help?

Technically you are only allowed 2 installs on your machine, which includes all versions. If you have CS3 on the computer then you are at capacity and the system may know this. This is a grey area but there was a thread on in today.
Here is link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/435921?tstart=30

Problem with serial number in LR

Hi I've to reinstall lightroom on my computer. I bought a version of lightroom last year, but now I can't find the executable on my computer, i followed the suggestion of a chat helpline on the site that gave me the link of the trial version and che serial to get the full version. That serial is the same serial i had in the first, now I'm tryng to fit this serial but the program says (translating in english) "the serial number is not valid" has someboy a suggestion to fix this problem!? Thank you for any answer, king regards!

Which version of Lightroom did you buy last year?
I assume your new download is 5.6 so you'll need to have a serial number for 5.x.
If your serial number was for an earlier version you'll need to upgrade or download a new copy of the version to which you do have a licence.
If your licence is for 5.x then it's possible you've been sent a link to the CC version rather than the standalone. If this is the case you'll need to un-install this a download from one of the following links instead.
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6

Problem with serial number with crossgrade

We are upgrading FCP 4.5 with crossgrade, but the old serial is not working. My understanding is that if you are upgrading from FCP 4.5, then you also need a new serial number. That we didn't get. Am I correct or did someone crossgrade from FCP 4.5 with old serial number?

I'm installing from scratch but instead of serial for 5.0 disks, I have serial for 4.5 disks. On other threads I read that you need new serial number for crossgrade from 4.5 to 5.1.

InDesign Suddenly Not Recognizing Serial Number

I have CS2, which I installed right after I bought the Intel Mac, 3 years ago.
Was able to enter the Photoshop serial number that it wanted at that time, but I have since lost or misplaced the folder that had all my Adobe registration info.
I have the Photoshop disks, the manuals [remember when you actually GOT manuals!], the original boxes, but I can find only ONE serial number, 6.5 upgrade, and the CS2 Install disk doesn't like it.
I have the CS2 serial number.
Here's the problem:
A last week, I had InDesign open and minimized all day while I was dealing with a website issue that took way longer than I thought it would. Forgot all about InDesign. When I tried to shut down at the end of the day, I had to ForceQuit InDesign, but it closed.
The next morning when I tried to open InDesign to continue working, I was presented with the registration page.
I HAVE no serial number just for InDesign except for a previous upgrade [removed by forum moderator] but the InDesign screen doesn't like that at all.
So, I thought I would see if I could re-install it from the original CS2 disks. I put in the first disk and IT wants information! I supplied the serial number but it asks for the serial number of a Photoshop 5.0 or later. I have 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 - the disks, the manuals, the original boxes, and I entered the ONE serial number I was able to find. It didn't like it.
I've had several Adobe IDs, numerous computer, lots of different email addresses, four or five different physical addresses, and during the past 3+ years have dealt with power outages blowing machines, a flood, and no printer on this Mac. One of my accounts is showing some product registrations, but not all and not a Photoshop 5.0 or beyond. It's showing Elements and Premier, which I purchased afterward for my husband's PC.
Once upon a time, I printed out a record of all the PageMaker, PageMill, and Type purchases, but it's in that mysterious missing "Adobe" folder - the hanging file labeled "Adobe" is empty.
I've entered help desk tickets, but the "resolved" my problem without resolving my problem and haven't responded to my "reopened" ticket.
Now, today, InDesign won't even open at all, even to the registration screen. I do not know what to do.
What can I do? I'm still on Tiger, if that matters at all.
Anyone know. I really need to get into InDesign. Would love to upgrade to CS4, but just cannot afford it right now.
HELP!

I guess I didn't read well enough. I really appreciate your help. I did bookmark that page, and THIS TIME I will READ it!
In the middle of cleaning out my Gmail inbox (which was why I didn't respond immediately - way too much "marketing mail" in there). My mind's too muddled right now to make much sense of "techy" stuff, and I'm on a different computer. But I promise, I will give the situation more attention. About the same time that happened, other weird stuff started happening. Haven't pinpointed it. Am on a Mac - guess I felt "too safe".
Thanks again,
Karen

Upgrade and invalid serial number

I am trying to upgrade FCS to FCS2. Both are academic versions. It keeps telling me that the serial number on FCS is invalid. A search brought up that FCP5 cannot be upgraded to FCP6 in the academic version. Is the same true for FCS?

After calling Apple and being transfered eight different times, I was told that I could not return the upgrade for a full version because it had been more than two weeks since I had ordered it. I didn't try installing it because I was in the middle of a large project and didn't want any problems. After explaining that I had just thrown $500 away, the person spoke to his supervisor and allowed me to return the upgrade. David S. was correct in that the academic version cannot be upgraded. However, I don't see this mentioned anywhere in the Apple store for education. I thought I had done this when I switch from FCP2 to FCP3, but that's been awhile back so maybe I'm wrong.

PROBLEMS WITH SERIAL NUMBER AFTER MIGRATING

I upgraded FCP a few months ago. Today, I migrated all the info to a new computer I just bought, and FCP asks me for a serial number. I entered it, but it now says that the serial number is the upgrade one, that I should enter the original, which I don´t have. Any ideas of what I can do?
Thanks in advance
I tried that thread (Library/Application Support/ProApps---), ProApps is not there, nothing...

If you upgrade software, you're always going to need the serial number of the previous one at one point or another.
If you registered the software with Apple and/or still have the purchase receipt, you may be in luck. Call 1-800-MY-APPLE and hopefully they will be able to help you.

After upgrade cannot input serial number

I cloned our existing 10.4.11 Tiger Server to allmost identical hardware to test the migration to 10.5.4 Server. After the upgrade through the install DVD, I cannot input anything at the first screens after the first reboot. Mouse is working, capslock light is working, I also can turn the volume up and down. But I cannot type and numbers or letters.
I tried different keyboards, different usb ports. I used the server assistent to upgrade, did it localy. Nothing worked. Everytime I come to the serial number screen, the keyboard stops working.

I just had this problem. What I finally did was install the admin software on another computer on the network and logged in remotely. I was then able to enter the serial number.

FCE 4.0 upgrade not accepting serial number

This used to work though since changing to a new Air it's saying serial number is wrong. Have reloaded disk, tried serial number of all previous versions I have but no luck. Any solutions out there?

If it is like the upgrade process for FCP, then the first request for a serial number is for the serial number of the upgrade disc, once that serial number is accepted you will be prompted for the serial number of the original full version to complete the blessing of the software. Never done it with FCE so not confident it is the same procedure.

Problem with serial number, when I bought Keynote on Mac App Store

Hi,
I bought yesterday Keynote and Numbers yesterday in online Mac App Store, not retail. I had had trial version, but over time. I bought this software, system this software installed. But when I run this software, it want serial number or buy ... where is problem?
Thank you for help
Ondrej

You don't need a serial number. The problem you're having is due to having the iWork trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
