How to install? The disk seemed to install but never asked for a serial #.

I bought this on Amazon's Black Friday last year and never installed it until I got a MacBook and the box says Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 for Windows and Mac OS.  There was only 1 disk inside and it was shrink wrapped so I assume it was genuine Adobe as I got it straight from Amazon.
Any clues?
Thanks, Bunnie

I don't know if there is a number for the absolutely frustrated at 
Adobe, but I could use it.
I downloaded the trial version, and on my desktop sits an icon 
Lightroom 3.4 and the previous icon Lightroom 3 is gone.
I have tried dragging a photo onto the icon (ala Photoshop) to make 
it open and NOTHING happens.
I double click on the icon and NOTHING happens except the original 
dialog box opens up asking if I want to install the software.
There is no possibility to click on "help" or anything else under 
Lightroom as it still shows Finder.
I don't want to bother you, I will try to find a number for Adobe. 
This is just maddening. I get the IDENTICAL results with the trial as 
with the disk, just the couple minutes of software install, an icon 
on the desktop and no ability to enter a password or anything but 
return to exactly what I first did.
Sometimes life is just like that and if I had an ancient Mac I would 
say OK, but this is not a year old yet.
Thanks, Bunnie

    Hi,
    No serial needed for subscriptions.Your applications can't communicate with the activation server.
    Check and delete Adobe entries on your hosts file as explained on step 3 :

  • I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license.  It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number.  I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

    I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008.  The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop.  the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number.  the programs will open but I can not open any files,  I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message.  Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

    activate is grayed out.  Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet"  So I select "submit again" and nothing happens.  Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message.

    Ok, it's just a glitch that it's not auto-rebooting from the disk.
    Please backup your personal files off the machine to a regualr external drive and disconnect all drives before doing anything
    Take the 10.6 disk out and clean and polish the bottom with a very soft clean cloth and a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol to cut the oils.
    Stick the disk in and reboot holding c key down, this will make it boot from the disk and you can install Snow Leopard that way.

Nothing happens, not all the entry boxes are filled with the serial number that was provided by B&H. I looked for a serial number on and in the box it came in, nada. Need a bit of help here, what can I do?

  • The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

    need to delete this album from my ipad...
    icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
    the album appears under artists
    doesn't appear on lists
    doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
    how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

    ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
    when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
    why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

    when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
    it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
    if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
    and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
    it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

    Hey jamesl12995614,
    Could you please let me know if you are using subscription or bought Acrobat as a one-time purchase.
    If its a subscription, then all you need is to sign in at adobe.com using your Adobe credentials and download the software.
    Otherwise, you might refer the KB doc link mentioned below to find your serial number:
    Find your serial number quickly
    Hope it helps.

  • I want to download an app, but whenever I click on it, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! What to do?

    I want to download apps, but whenever I click download, it does the spinning in a circle thing but never asks for my password and never downloads, I want to be able to download apps again! How do I fix this?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can i download iWorks onto my macbook without it asking for a serial number?

    I downloaded iWorks onto my Macbook, but when I try to open it its asking for a serial number and I can't find the serial number. What can I do?

    Then you purchased it from Apple. They will send the complete boxed set with a serial number. Whatever you downloaded is most likely just a trial version.
    If by "download" you mean how to install on the computer, then you have an installer DVD. On or in the box you received will be the required serial number. You might see the following:
    iWork '09: Serial number not required for installation of retail boxes
    iWork '09: Install disc may prompt for serial number

  • Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    Aperture was originally installed from the app store, now its asking for a serial number. how do i download the serial number or reinstall from the app store?

    The App Store version of Aperture will never ask for a serial number so something got confused on your system. Did you ever have a non App Store version of Aperture installed? Did you download the trial version for some reason?
    You can try moving Aperture from the Application folder to the desktop and then going to the App Store. Log in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture and you should be able to download it again.

  • Update 13.0.3 it's the same: the Extended version appears and asks for a serial

    The last two updates of Photoshop are nightmares...
    I have a MacPro 2x2.26 GHz with 8 GB di RAM (Snow Leopard).
    One week ago I updated to version 13.0.2 hoping to solve certain issues of the 13.0.1 version. But after the update Photoshop CS6 became Extended and asked for a serial number. I typed my serial, Photoshop seemed to work but after a close and restart the Extended version reappears, and asks again fot the serial.
    I talked two times with the Assistance by phone, they tell me to uninstall and reinstall from the official DVD, but it do not change... If I apply the 13.0.2 update the Extended version appears again.
    Yesterday I read about the new 13.0.3 update, the solution for the bugged previous version, and I hopefully installed it.
    NOTHING CHANGES!
    Photoshop become Extended again and asks again and again and again for a serial number.
    Now I will unistall and reinstall Photoshop CS6, but I will NOT apply any update after the 13.0.1, even if that version has many bugs.
    But I need to work and I have no time to lose.

    I have spoken to Adobe Customer Support on the telephone today and they confirmed that the matter is known and that the developement team are working on a an update to fix the problem as quickly as possible the also sent me the following email:
