Help! Aperture requires serial number when I open it now.

Ever since I upgraded to OSX mountain lion now when I open aperture it asks for a serial number. I purchased it as a download at the app store and did not include a serial number. Can anyone tell me what I should do?

At some point did you have a version of Aperture that you acquired from a distribution stream other than the Mac App Store (MAS)?
I suggest using an app, such as AppCleaner, to completely remove Aperture from your Mac and then download the app again from the Purchases list in the MAS Purchases pane.

Why am I prompted for a serial number when trying to open an acrobat PDF?

Help..need an Aperture 2 serial number to access my library on new computer

I just bought a new computer and have migrated my files but cannot access my Aperture application or library because it is asking for my original Aperture serial number. I have my Aperture 3 upgrade serial number but it wants the original Aperture 2 serial number which I didn't save. I called the Apple store and they said any Aperture 2 serial number will work. does anyone have an Aperture 2 serial number which I could use? I would so appreciate it. I'm in despair/disbelief over this.

Welcome to the Aperture forum
Hmmmm I tend to think carolya that no-one will be prepared to surrender their Aperture 2 serial number somehow....
If you have Aperture 2 already, as you say you have.... then the original serial number is on the back of the cardboard box that it came in....

Aperture asks serial number on APP

Hello everybody, i just restarted my mac and try to open aperture. I have the Aperture App. Suddenly i have to enter user information:
First Name, Last name
Organization
Serial Number
Did i ever got a serial number when i bought the app? I do not think so. Who can help me?
Thnx
Marcel

" Aperture might have been bought through the App Store originally but at some point he attempted to upgrade by downloading the dmg file rather then going through the App Store."
That is exactly what I have been thinking, and also, I was not quite sure, if it was an Apple Store or App Store purchase, Frank; we will see, when we have the answer to your question, and know the Aperture version.
Added: Apple Store or App Store
Why is Apple so inapt at picking unique names?

MB1A requires Serial number with some movement types

Hello:
I am using MB1A for goods movement. The client has a movement type (X82) which when I use it does not require serial number for goods movement. There are other movement types which when I use them in MB1A do require serial number. Now, I copied movement type X82 to a new movement type (X68) (IMG activity 'Copy, change Movement Types', option 'Copy all'). I did again the exercise in MB1A with new movement type X68 and what happened: SERIAL NUMBER IS REQUIRED!
Do you know about any additional configuration in order to achieve that there NO SERIAL NUMBER is required? I appreciate a lot your help as I am a little bit hurried with this issue!
Thanks in advance,

D,
X82 ??
All movement types are 3 digit (non-alpha). Are you absolutely sure you have an X82 movement type ?
If you have that is quite an unusual bespoke development.

Why can't iTunes track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes?

I was wondering Why, if your iPod is stolen, iTunes cannot track your ipod's serial number when it is synced to iTunes.. I've had my iPod touch almost a year now and it is registered in my name and everything. This past weekend someone somehow got into my car while at a concert and stole my purse, my ipod, my friend's ipod and wallet. I didn't think to file a police report because I figuered there would be nothing they can do. Since, a lot of people buy and sell iPods all of the time from one another instead of from a store. I thought to let it go, but it keeps haunting me, someone has access to a lot of my person information. This hit me when at work, I was using Pandora internet radio, and someone deleted all of my radio stations and added their own. They are still using it till this day and I have no clue what to do, I've changed my password to Pandora even. I know it's being used via my iPod from my Pandora app, I regreat not downloading the new ios5 on my iPod... So, I really have no further idea of what to do. I contacted Pandora in hopes they could change my account password or delete it or something, I just hope they haven't used any thing else important. I really wish it were possible for iTunes to track an iPods Serial number when the iPod is either synced to iTunes / iTunes store.. If it were possible, I wish they could help me out and at least lock my prior iPod or hopefully delete everything from that.. I don't have much hope in this though :/

Thanks for the suggestions... tried tehm but no luck so I've taken it back. I think I'll try a Samsung (only other ones I've found with a Sleep Function) and move to Audible instead of iTunes. A shame after years of iTunes use but I shouldn't have to spend days getting a product to work. Thanks again.

Invalid Serial Number when using Customization Wizard to install Acrobat 8

Hello. I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional using the Customization Wizard to create a transform. The serial number is for the volume license product, and I put this number in the space provided in the Wizard. Whenever I remotely deploy the msi file and the user opens the program, I get the following error: "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and enter in a valid serial number when asked." The program then closes. This does not happen when I install from the CD.
Each of the workstations is a Gateway E-4500S running Windows XP SP2. Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional is uninstalled prior to installation of Acrobat 8, and Acrobat 8 exists alongside Adobe Reader 8.1.1. No other Adobe products are installed apart from Flash Player.
The following are the contents of the setup.ini file:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows 2000;Windows XP
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
CmdLine=/sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroPro.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst"
[Windows 2000]

[Windows XP]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
ServicePackMajor=2
[MSI Updater]
Path=WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
I've tried editing the setup.ini file to indicate the full path to the mst file, to no avail. Pretty much at the end of my rope right now. Any suggestions? I'll be happy to provide further information.

Correct. The CD installation goes without a hitch. I'm using Attachmate WinInstall to try to deploy the software remotely. It worked fine for Adobe Reader 8.1.1, but it's been a bear for Acrobat 8. I'd be okay with a straight CD installation if it didn't involve fifty machines.

Old computer was wiped clean before CS6 could be deactivated. New computer and CS6 require serial number/activation code that I don't have recorded.

How do I proceed?

Sign in to your Adobe account online and see if your serial number is available via the My products section. If you regstered your software then it should be available there.
Your only other hope beyond that would be to contact Adobe Support thru chat and see if they can help you. Also ask them to reset your activations so that the lost installation is essentially deactivated.

ID CS2 Requests Serial Number When Launched

Hi,
Does anyone happen to know why InDesign CS2 would ask for the serial number when it's launched? It displays a dialog that says 'Personalize your software' and asks for Name, Company and Serial Number.
This is not so much of a problem, except that it doesn't accept the serial number. The only number I've got is a suite number and all the other apps (PS, AI, GL) launch fine and display all but the last four digits of the serial number so it looks like I've got that right. I wonder if it's after an app-specific number but I don't have one! All I have is the number on the CS2 box at work.
Do I have to uninstall InDesign and reinstall it?
Any help gratefully received.
Juergen

Do you have admin privileges in the account you're doing the serializing from? If not, try logging in from such an account. Other possible fixes might include repairing permissions in Disk Utility or emptying your caches with Onyx or some other cache management tool before attempting to reserialize.
I certainly feel your pain though. Ever since updating to Acrobat 8.1.2 I have been unable to stop Acrobat from asking for my password every time I launch it due to some failure in the wretched and malevolent "self-healing" features. :)

Invalid serial number when I re install premiere elements 10

I am getting a message that I have a invalid serial number when I try to re install premiere elements 10. It is the correct number fropm the box.

weeone001
That happened to me trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit. In all my years of working with these programs, that was the first time that ever happened. Is your Premiere Elements 10 on Windows or Mac. I think that i remember some Mac issues in this regard.
Activation problems can only be corrected by Adobe, and John T. Smith's second link in post 1 can help you with that.
But, before you seek Adobe Chat, shut down the computer and try the installation again.
I was about to contact Adobe Chat, when the second or third time around, the serial number took. Servers issues??? Never did find out. And, I was not typing in the wrong numbers.
As an aside, if you have Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, please let us know if you experience any unexplained display issues. There is an epidemic of such going around. The fix, for now, is to roll back the video card drive version. More on that as indicated.
Please update us on your progress.
Thanks.

How can I get my serial Number when paying online?

I am being asked to enter a serial number when trying to open any adobe application. I am paying monthly for the product but when I ordered it I never recieved a serial number. It now comes up with 'Trial expired please enter serial number to continue'. I made the transaction for the product online and never recieved a serial number, only an order number. Where can I get hold of the serial number?

dineoma,
Welcome to Adobe Support.
I have checked the order number that you have provided us and that is not for Creative Cloud nor has your services been upgraded to Creative Cloud under that account . If you wish to use the Creative Cloud, I would request you to please go ahead and place the order for the same .
