Help with CS5 Activation

I'm installing my CS5-Extended on a new computer (I finally upgraded my PC).   Since my CS5 was an upgrade from CS4, I was ready to enter both the CS5 and the CS4 serial numbers.  But, I was only asked for my CS5 serial number.  It accepted the number and opened Photoshop.   My next step is to update all of the CS5 programs (Bridge, Camera Raw, etc.).   But, every attempt to update the software fails - and the error message states that my serial number is NOT correct.   I deactivated the copy and when I ran the program again, it asks me for the serial number - JUST the CS5 number and once again, it accepts the number, but will NOT update any of my CS5 programs.   Does anyone have a recommendation.

Hi Jeff, thank you again for your follow-up on my issue - can't tell you how much I appreciate your help!
I started with Photoshop version 6.0, then version 7.0, then CS2, CS3, CS4-Extended and now CS5-Extended.   The confusing item in my purchase history was the accidental purchase of Photoshop Elements - I intended to purchase Premier Elements for video.  Adobe was kind to allow an immediate refund of the mistaken purchase of Photoshop Elements (which was never activated).
When I spoke with Adobe earlier today, the rep from the concierge team asked me to read him the serial numbers I used to activate my CS5-Extended.  He confirmed the serial number I'm using is exactly correct.   That is why it activated my CS5-Extended.
Here's the issue.  For some reason, THIS install of CS5 did NOT include a request for my CS4 serial number.  As a result, something on the back-end of my install is now blocking any update of my CS5 software, including Camera RAW.
I've tried the following to correct.  First, I "permanently" deactivated CS5 and re-launched the program which prompts the request for my serial number.  Again, it ONLY asked for my CS5 serial number, which it accepted and again, the program BLOCKED any software updates.   Second, I installed CS4-Extended on this computer (which, by they way, the install of CS4 DID ask for both my CS4 and CS3 serial numbers and activated).   After this I deactivated ("permanently") and re-launched CS5.  Unfortunately, the successful installation of CS4-Extended did NOT change my inability to update my CS5 software.

    Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7. 

    You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

  • Really need help with CS5 constantly crashing.

    I last posted here about 5 months ago with problems with CS5 hanging or crashing. And then the advice was to remove all third-party plugins which I did, I also deleted a whole slew of fonts that had been installed by other applications without my really noticing. Something worked, because CS5 became relatively stable. I was able to work on big multi-layered files. I even reintroduced some of my plugins without causing any problems. But a few weeks ago it started crashing again. It is much worse than before, I can't use it for more than a few minutes, usually, before getting the dreaded "stopped working" error message. Sometimes I don't even get past Camera Raw, because Camera Raw hangs. The crashes seem to be random, they don't occur in relation to a particular task, it can happen when I am opening a file, or saving one, or at almost any time in between.
    It is CS5 32 bit on Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I have 4gb of RAM, the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 3800 series with 512GB. (Not the greatest, I know, but it is on Adobe's list as a supported card. I don't mind upgrading the card but I'd like to know that it will solve the problem.) It has the latest drivers installed. I've tried running Photoshop with with Open GL Enabled and with it not enabled. It doesn't make any difference. I have reset the preferences. I have, of course, uninstalled all the third party plugins. I've checked for duplicate and corrupt fonts. I uninstalled and reinstalled CS5 and all the updates. Nothing has helped and i have no idea what else to try.
    (The really infuriating thing is that CS runs and is stable on my old laptop, which is running XP and has integrated graphics and 1GB of RAM. It's very, very slow, and I can't imagine what it would be like if I was trying to work with loads of layers, but it never crashes.)
    The Event Viewer log description is not enlightening, unless I am missing something:  Faulting application Photoshop.exe, version 12.0.4.0, time stamp 0x4d9d8cbc, faulting module unknown, version 0.0.0.0, time stamp 0x00000000, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x5b780000, process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10.
    Any suggestions would be most welcome. I have work piling up and I'm getting desperate.

    Thank you, Noel and Chris.
    Chris, that is exactly what is in the log:
    process id 0x%9, application start time 0x%10.
    I guess I should start really worrying now, then!
    Malware, well, I do regular complete scans. The last one was just a couple of days ago. I'll do another.
    A few days ago I also ran sfc/scannow, which reported some corrupt files, which were supposedly repaired. And some files that could not be repaired, which the cbs log revealed to be some truetype fonts (not system fonts). I reinstalled the fonts anyway. Running the scan doesn't reveal anything now, but I don't know how how reliable it is.
    Re the .NET error, I wonder if this relates to the shutdown process. I have noticed that after getting the message that Windows is closing Photoshop it then sometimes hangs and I have to close it manually from Task Manager.
    Noel, I have checked the RAM, though only using Windows Memory Diagnostic. It didn't find anything amiss. I also ran CHKDSK, which didn't find any hard drive errors.
    But bottom line, it looks like my problem is a system problem and not a Photoshop one, I guess, so I really shouldn't even be posting all this rubbish here! I'm still not sure why the only application so far affected is Photoshop, except that perhaps it is the most resource hungry application that I run.
    I think I need to make the time to buy that new system.
    Thanks again!

    How the lock works is explained by Find My iPhone Activation Lock and Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner's account.
    On YouTube you will find some videos helping bypassing the lock and get access to the contacts. With some luck you can contact the previous owner and force him to remove the iPhone from the devices list at icloud.com/find.

  • Please help with CS5 "Help" problems

    I installed Photoshop (V12.0) and Dreamweaver CS5 yesterday  -  8G Memory  Win 7 Pro 64 bit with Kaspersky 2011 IS which I disable during downloads
    I cannot access "Help" in either - I get the message "... cannot find Adobe Air - please download from adobe.com/go/getair"
    I've attempted this many times but get the message Air already installed but, I cannot find AIr anywhere in the Registry. I've also failed to install thedownloaded  upgrade to Photoshop 12.0.1. I seem to have downloaded Adobe Flash OK.
    I've gone almost mad trying to get to the point where I could actually post to this forum, hope next time the journey here will be shorter.
    Would be grateful for any help and thanks for past help
    warmest regards
    grifd

    Adobe AIR normally appears at or near the top of your Programs and Features list (within the Control Panel).  I take it it's not there for you?
    Did you try to install the Photoshop 12.0.1 update directly from Adobe's installer, or did you fail the automatic update?  If the latter, try this link:

  • Need help with PPM activity type

    Hi All -
    I am trying to CIF a production version and I have the master recipe with 1 operation and 2 activities. My first activity is SETUP and the second activity is PROCESS.
    However, after CIF'fing the PV, I see in APO that both the acitivities have an activity type " Produce".
    Which setting assigns the activity type " Setup" for my activity SETUP?
    Appreciate all your help.
    Thanks
    Varun

    Hi Varun,
    in order to transfer the activity as "set up", please check if the following settings are done.
    1. In the resource (ERP side), check if you have maintained the formula for "setup' under "capacity" and also in "scheduling" tab.
    2. In the recipe, check if you maintained the time for setup.
    Let me know if this helps
    Regards,

  • Help with adobe activation licensing and expirations and.... everything else

    I went to buy cs5. Because I was buying many for my boss who works at a government funded school, we tried using volume licensing with cdw.
    Our cdw manager was a total moron and kept giving us the wrong quote. Finally we got the right one and bought it, only to find out it was a bunch of licenses and we wanted the box product for at least a few of them. We have some computers without internet....
    So we were either gonna buy 1 box product or return them all.
    As usual the moron gave us more retarted quotes with products we didnt even mention!!
    Well we decided it was too shady and stopped using cdw. We went to the apple store to buy a few box products.
    We bought 2 student and teacher editions.
    then we opened one to find out you arent suppose to buy 2 education editions. Why? who knows. to make my life harder.
    Well we tried installing 1 only to find that you need to give in a promo code with a picture and information.... basically adobe wants my soul in exchange for this stupid thing which is now getting on my nerves. We needed it working a week ago!
    It also says that the student copies will expire... is this true? it will stop working?
    Now I feel like I should just go return both student copies to the apple store and buy 2 official versions with no stupid hassles. But who knows if they will take them back now that one has been opened!
    I'm pissed and hate the whole licensing thing.
    I dont know what to do but I need adobe working now!
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks!!!

    You will need to speak with Customer Service. This is a User to User forum. No official Adobe presence here. For what its worth I used to get excellent service from PC/Mac/Gov Connection.
