FYI Adobe servers having problems generating serials

Just had to call CS as the email receipt read "call customer support" instead of a serial number, when called they told me it can take up to 24 hrs to arrive via email.

It took them 20 minutes on the phone  with me to finally tell me that the serial number would take between 24 and 48 hours. I had to send them screen shots and such just to prove that I was actually not a complete idiot.  Meanwhile they kept asking me the same questions over and over again, not writing anything down.  And they didn't even realize that LR 3 was even shipping.  And I am the idiot here who does not know how to look at a screen where my serial number is?   They also indicated to me at the end of the conversation that this is "normal" to take 24-48 hours and that they are not having any issues.
The good news is that you can install the product and use it for 30 days before it requires you to enter a serial number.

  • Is Adobe having problems validating serial numbers for Acrobat XI Std?

    I purchased a serial number this morning, but activation says the serial number is invalid. I have spent over an hour chatting with support but have had no luck?

    Hello All,
    This is a known issue and the Adobe Engineering Team is already working on it on a High priority.
    On first analysis, there seems to be some problem with back-end server.
    I will keep you posted.

  • Adobe Servers having issues?

    Does anyone here have any idea if there's an issue with Adobe's servers today? Folio downloads from acrobat.com are far slower than usual, and downloading the updated producer tools is also very slow. Other sites aren't as slow.

  • MSCS Installation; Having problem generating temp. license key

    <b>Environment:</b>
    SAP ECC 6.0 (MSCS) installation.
    Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition (64 bit Itanium)
    SQL 2005
    We are having a problem with the Central Instance Installation Step at
    the point where you must generate a license key using Solution Manager.
    The installation does not accept any key generated by Solution Manager
    using the virtual host name (SAPCIGRP) - the virtual host name for the
    SAP Cluster Group.
    We greatly appreciate help on this issue so we can finish up
    installation.
    <b>Steps for the Reconstruction </b>
    MSCS Installation ERP 2005 ABAP+Java (ECC 6.0)
    Central Instance Installation Step (Step 8 Installation Guide):
    The Installation asks for Solution Manager License Key.
    In Solution Manager we created the PRD System (SMSY), then select the
    system and select the button "Generate Installation/Upgrade key".
    We enter the following:
    System ID: PRD
    System Number: 02 (also tried 00,01 with no luck)
    Message Server: SAPCIGRP
    [host names for PRD:
    Node A: sapprdci
    Node B: sapprddb
    SAP Cluster Group: sapcigrp (virtual host name)
    SQL Cluster Group: sapdbgrp (virtual host name)]
    The installation also asks for instance number (port) for the central
    instance; we are entering "02". ASCS (Central Services for ABAP)
    is "00" & SCS (Cental Services Instance) is "01".
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    You probably want to look two things here:
    1. Maybe some problem with the system number, I had the same problem before. I thought I should use system number 00, but it was ended up take system number 01. I still don't know why. The installation completed with my system number be 01 instead of 00 I wanted to be.
    2. Because of MSCS installation, does it want to real hostname of the node you are installing or it requires virtual name. I am wondering it is asking hostname of the current node because you should convert it to MSCS cluster after installation complete. Now it does not even know MSCS and virtual hostname etc exist yet.
    Thanks,

  • 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

    I have almost resolved this problem. I'm at the last step and getting an error message when trying to import the certificate that I received from verisign into my keystore.
    here's my error.
    C:\>keytool -import -alias mycompanyname123 -keystore STEPHEN4 -file mycompanyname.cer
    Enter keystore password: changeit
    keytool error: java.security.cert.CertificateException: Unsupported encoding
    but when I double click on this file mycompanyname.cer (which is exactly what I received from verisign, up comes the appropriate certificate
    i was able to succesfully able to install it into the microsoft browser and i see it correctly represented and displayed in the certificates section for OTHER PEOPLE.
    But I think i have to successfully import it into the keystore for it to work properly right when I start up the tomcaat app is that correct?
    any ideas?

  • I am having problems with accessing Facebook because of Adobe. Is anyone else having this problem? What should I do?

    I am having problems opening Facebook, and You Tube. The sites will not open and a page comes up saying I need to update my Adobe Flash. The Adobe Flach is already updated. What should I do?

    The update alerts are fake, and are intended to mislead you into installing malware and/or to steal your identity.
    You might get the alerts when visiting a website that has been hacked. Don't visit the site again. If applicable, notify the site administrator of the problem, but don't send email to an unknown party.
    If you get the alerts when visiting well-known websites such as Google, YouTube, or Facebook, then they're the result of an attack on your router that has caused you to get false results from looking up the addresses of Internet servers. Requests sent to those sites are redirected to a server controlled by the attacker.
    The router's documentation should tell you how to reset it to the factory default state. Usually there's a pinhole switch somewhere in the back. It may be labeled "RESET." Insert the end of a straightened paper clip or a similar tool and press the button inside for perhaps 15 seconds, or as long as the instructions specify.
    Then go through the initial setup procedure. I can't be specific, because it's different for every model. The key points are these:
    1. Don't allow the router to be administered from the WAN (Internet) port, if it has that option. Most do.
    2. Set a strong password to protect the router's settings: at least ten random upper- and lower-case letters and digits.  Don't use the default password or any other that could be guessed. Any password that you can remember is weak.
    3. If the router is wireless, or if you have a wireless access point on the network, use "WPA 2 Personal" security and set a different strong password to protect the network. If the router or access point doesn't support WPA 2, it's obsolete and must be replaced.
    During the time the router was compromised, you were redirected to bogus websites. If you ever connected to a secure site and got a warning from your browser that the identity of the server could not be verified, and you dismissed that warning in order to log in, assume that your credentials for the site have been stolen and that the attacker has control of the account. This warning also applies to all websites on which you saw the fake update alerts.
    If you downloaded and installed what you thought was a software update, ask for instructions.

  • I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1?

    I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1.  Why am I having this problem?

    You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account.  If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

  • Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,,  Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

  • Having problems with Adobe Flash Player 11.8. What can I do to get this rectified?

    Had new version of Adobe Flash player on Windows 8 . Was on yahoo. com playing Publishers Clearing House Games, when last night the system went dowm part way. Playing Sunken treasure for $1000.00 entry or tokens when it played the game but would not exit to next game when it should. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player like specified then reinstalled but still having problems. What can I do now. I have had this problem before with the same results. Was informed that Adobe was having the problems with this version.It gets to be aggrivating if not rediculous.

    Thanks.  Do you know if he will have to have his own iTunes account as well?

  • I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.

    I'm having problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
    The problem is right at the end of installation, it (the Install Shield Wizard) says status is registering and then immediately does an action rollback.
    The message I get is:
    'The wizard was interrupted before Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run the installation again.'
    If anyone can offer some help, please, that would be great.
    Thanks.
    Grant.

  • Still having problems with loading cs6 onto new computer. adobe won't contact me?

    I have posted this before and I did what was suggested, but have not had any luck with adobe support.
    Problem: Mac laptop died. I have cs3 and upgrade to cs6 on the laptop, backed up to external hard drive. i'm trying to install now onto my new computer, but can't load it from the external hard drive, so downloaded cs6 upgrade from adobe from my products. i know i purchased and downloaded cs3 from adobe website, but it doesn't show up on my page. so when i download cs6 and it asks for my serial number, i put it in, but then it won't unlock the software because it's not detecting any other software (cs3) on my new computer. i was told that i had to contact adobe tech support, which i have done multiple times, but have not gotten any response back.
    any suggestions?

    Oh that's awesome!
    Yeah, I have done similar things, that's why it came to mind lol
    You're welcome, even though I wasn't a whole lot of help on this issue...
    Have a great evening and feel free to return to the forums if you need any other assistance.
