How to activate Studio 8 won't accept serial number of my previous versions of Dreamweaver and Flash Pro

In order to complete Studio 8 activation, I was asked to provide serial numbers of older version of Dreamweaver and Flash Pro. I did but it won't accept it.
Kindly help to resolve this issue

I know that both Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Flash MX 2004 are two versions later than version 8.0.
Other way round, Jeff - MX 2004 is one version earlier.
MX 2004 (version 7) pre-dated Studio 8 (version 8) by two years.
Adobe Creative Suite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macromedia Studio MX 2004 Released September 10, 2003, despite its name, it is internally version 7.
Macromedia Studio 8 Released September 13, 2005, Studio 8 was the last version of Macromedia Studio.
I have always found it odd that MX 2004 owners have been provided with non-activation serial numbers by Adobe.
However, Studio 8 owners (later version software) have been left stranded with no non-activation serials and no way to activate their software when they re-install. What do they do?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • Upgrade won't accept serial number

    I am unable to locate my original cd or i may have downloaded when i originally bought CS. i have my previous version (CS 1.0) registered on adobe and they provide my serial number but when i try to register Photoshop, Illustrator etc. it will not accept the serial # provided.
    what do I do?

    I think you got you your terms mixed-up.
    Registration is the association of your name and details with the product you bought, done on Adobe's servers.
    Validating (entering the serial number), is something different. You can't validate a product using (just) the serial number of the previous version, you also need the serial number of the current version. If you don't have the latter and you never registered it you will need to find a proof of purchase and then send it to Adobe so they would provide you with the serial number.

  • Acrobat Pro reinstall won't accept serial number.

    I have an iMac running Yosemite. I had to reinstall Adobe CS3 suite on a partition because I have some files that I need to keep the older software for, but when I open the program Acrobat Pro after the install, which went OK, it says my serial number is not valid. I also entered the serial number for the previous version of Acrobat Pro, and the serial number for CS2, but still get the same message. All the other programs opened OK and accepted the serial number, and I have reinstalled before on both Snow Leopard and Mavericks with no problem.  Any thoughts on the problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi rolandk43,
    Are you still facing this issue.
    Do you have separate serial number for Acrobat and CS3 suite?
    Also attach the screen shot of your problem when you reply.

    1 month ago I Downloaded a trial version. Today I have downloaded the program with the serial number, now I'm doing the istallation he asks me the serial number, I put it and he tells me that I need also the serial number of the previous version. How can I find the serial number of the trial version?

    What program, and did you buy the UPGRADE version, or the FULL version?
    Your description indicates that you bought an upgrade version... which requires proof of a previous version to install
    So, if you had A and you bought A+ you need to provide your A serial number during install so A+ knows you are legal

  • I bought the upgrade to Creative Suite 6 Standard, but during the installation I receive the message that the serial number of my previous version (CS 5.5) is uncorrect.

    I bought the upgrade to Creative Suite 6 Standard, and the installation system asks me the serial number of my previous version (CS 5.5). I insert it, but it tells me it is uncorrect.
    The machine where I'm trying to install the Creative Suite Standard CS 6 uses Windows 8 and no Adobe programs are installed here. When I bought the Creative Standard CS 5.5 I registered it for Mac platform, but I have also a serial number for Windows and it doesn't work.
    I tried to register a new product in my Adobe account, using the Windows Serial number that I received when I bought CS 5.5, but it doesn't work.
    Thank you.

    Yes, I have a TLP license, so which kind of upgrade should I buy?
    I'm an Italian user and I would prefer to contact support by web chat but I can't find it in the website, please can you help me? Thank you, I'm desperate!

    You return the upgrade version since it was purchased in error
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
    Purchase a full version.

  • Won't accept serial number after migrations

    I just bought a new imac and after migration, I can't launch Aperture 3. Says my serial number is not valid. I typed in my Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 upgrade serial numbers from the boxes. Still says not valid. Any tips on what to do? Thanks!

    How did you migrate Aperture? Did you reinstall it or simply migrated it using Migration assistant? Pro Apps are best reinstalled using the installation media. You can reinstall directly the Aperture 3 upgrade and then update to the current version using Software update.
    See this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2005
    Check, if all letters are typed correctly. Don't use the numerical keypad to enter the numbers and check if caps lock is accidentally enabled.
    Enter all serial numbers for all previous versions, beginning from Aperture 1, if your Aperture 2 is an upgrade.
    If you cannot get Aperture to accept your serial number, contact Apple: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

  • Application install damaged. Reinstall won't accept serial number. How can I reinstall?

    I purchased Acrobat Pro 6 for Mac in 2004 and over the years, upgraded to 11.0, which I've used successfully until this morning. When I tried to open the app, I got a message saying it was damaged and needs to be reinstalled. I have not changed computers or OS since last week when it was working fine.
    To correct the problem, I downloaded the program from the Adobe web site, but it won't accept my serial number to complete installation.

    The options depend on your type of query, something which seems designed to frustrate. Adobe support do not answer "how to" (though they should help with troubleshooting, sure). Adobe must know that most people just click wildly rather than spending hours agonising over exactly the right description, and even if they did, the categories are poor.

  • Won't accept serial number

    Order #AD005692008AU: I cannot activate my licence. After the download, it won't open. I tried it by itself. Then I tried through a trial subscription. It won't let me licence the trial edition. It says my serial number is invalid. Help! I need to get it going to send a job application and I have been trying to launch it for three hours.

    How can I start to write this ...? Wow, eventually, I succeeded to contact Adobe's service center.
    But, ... Actually, I also considered the worst possibility and it was the worst. The staff of the
    service center said politely but with flat voice, "The number is not correct at all. Perhaps, you
    might get the product from wrong route, not official."
    I send an e-mail to the distributor. That is all. I think my case would be nothing worth for
    case studies for the others. I suppose someone can delete my messages, if necessary.
    I should not write where I got the package from (at that time, I was not expected the worst
    case, even though counting it). I am sorry for many things and thanks for all members.
    You are very cheerful for me.
    I also need to apologize to S. M. Salvaneschi about my interruption. I just want to show you
    my sympathy as the one under the similar situation. I am afraid that I might failed it.

  • Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

    Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

    I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.
