How to put my serial number into trial version of CS4

I had to have someone partition my computer so I could reinstall snow leopard as a plotter machine plug in for illustrator is not compatible with Maverick.
I have CS4 on maverick but I do not have a hard copy as my external hard drive with the original download bit the dust years ago.
Of course there is no way that I can download a copy of my original purchase of premium design CS4 so after days of looking found a trial version.
This (after a few hiccups) is now up and running.
It does not unfortunately accept my valid and paid for serial number.
So I have have 30 days to sort this problem out.
HELP PLEASE.
I really cannot afford to buy a hard copy of this again.

Hi, A.T.R
Thank you so much for your common sense reply. I contacted Adobe via their online chat help facility. One of their tech guys resolved the issue by re-setting the Hosts file. Now I have seen this in the forums and it basically involves making a back-up copy of the Hosts file deleting certain entries and applying again.. Thankfully this worked for me. But I would urge Adobe to look into this matter as there are many novices I am sure will be extremely frustrated at what should be a straight forward approach when validating their software. Most people would know there internet was working ok and most people would be able to disable anti-virus software etc, but to continue getting a failure to validate a serial number online would in my opinion beggar belief !! for most technically minded folks out there. Most annoying.
When anyone purchases legacy software from Adobe, no one wants this kind of problem. The software is not cheap.
My purchase was Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and it is a great piece of software for video editing. I can however recommend it. It is very good for both novice and professionals
Thank you.

  • How much to purchase serial number for trial version of Premier Elements 11?

    A trial versin of Adobe Premeir Elements 11 came with my Photoshop Elements 11.  How much for a serial number, and what page can I go to get one?

    javair
    Good question. Here is my take on this.
    Adobe is not selling Premiere Elements 11 anymore. It is now selling its current version Premiere Elements 12. And, its free tryout download from Adobe is for Premiere Elements 12. And, no problem purchasing a serial number for version 12 from them.
    There should be no problem in trying out the Premiere Elements 11 as per the installation disc that came with the Photoshop Elements 11 purchase. But, when it comes to purchase of Premiere Elements 11, the only scenario that I am seeing is
    Find an authorized reseller who still has Premiere Elements 11 stock. Purchase that product. And, then you have 2 choices
    a. insert the serial number that comes with the purchased Premiere Elements 11 into the tryout already installed on your computer
    or
    b. uninstall the tryout, install your purchased Premiere Elements 11 with the serial number that comes with it.
    A typical place that might have a Premiere Elements 11 in stock is Amazon. Have you looked there?
    You could contact Adobe for input on the matter, but I suspect that you will get steered to purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

    I have been trying to install Adobe Flash CS3 but when i

    I have manage to install Flash CS3 but everytime I click on
    the icon to start the program it ask the trial version has expired.
    I don't know how many times i have to uninstall it
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?
    Help please

    Delet the file "Lightroom 1.0 Registration" in the following places:
    ~:Library:Application Support:Adobe:Lightroom:
    (~ = your home folder).
    and
    Library:Application Support:Adobe:Lightroom:
    (The library-folder att the root of your harddrive).
    If you only have that file in one place. Just delet that one.
    Restart LR and register again.
    I think this will work for you.

  • Serial Number for Trial Version

    my trial version of Flash gave me the an error message when
    starting up. I fixed the problem and had to reinstall, however now
    that I've got it back to the screen that is asking for my serial
    number I don't have it, does anyone know where I can get my serial
    number for the trial version? Did it get sent in an email or did I
    already blow it by not writing it down?

    No we only provide serial numbers when the product is purchased.  Did you have trials installed previously on your computer?

  • Asking for serial number on trial version

    I have downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.
    I cannot progress in the installation process without a serial number.  I do not know where to find the serial number.

    Ahh.  Went to re-install and realized I had mindlessly selected a version
    different that the "trial" option during the process.  All is well. Thank
    you.

  • How do I enter the serial number into Adobe Premiere Elements 11?

    I just installed Adobe Premiere Elements 11 because I was not sure if it is supposed to be Adobe Elements 11 or Premiere. Now I need to enter the serial number but do not know how to get to that point after starting the organizer.

    I only installed Premiere Elements, so far, last night.   Sorry to confuse. I could have said it differently I suppose.
    It has an option to install either one. Now; it said enter the serial  or use trial version with a supposed option to then enter the serial number later. But to know how to get to where to do it? I have opened the program several times to look for it and see no place to enter the numbers. I clicked on each of the icons in my searches.
    I found the new serial numbers one to each. I do not know how to get to where to enter one, unless I uninstall then re-install and then put in the new serial number as I set it up. That, I really don't want to do. I was at the page last night, to enter my redemption code then it showed the serial numbers. For each each one.

  • How to find ThinkPad serial number if label is worn?

    QuestionI'm having some trouble with my T500 ThinkPad and want to contact service, but am not sure how I can find out the machine type and serial number to provide to support when I call because the sticker on the bottom of the laptop is faded so I don't know what the S/N is. I do have one number though: [serial removed] was what I copied down from it before it became faded. I dont know what to do now, so if you have any ideas, that'd be great.
    Answer 
    Generally the label with type and serial information is found on the bottom of laptops and tablets and on the rear of desktop systems and on the back or along the edge of displays.   As noted by the question asked above, in some cases, the label may become worn.  To reduce / avoid this, the type / serial label was relocated to the battery compartment on some systems with removable batteries, along with the Win 7 COA.  As Win 8 does not have a COA lable, and print technologies for labels have improved, most current systems have the label on the bottom.
    Some tablets may have the type and serial information label on the inside of memory door / SD card slot covers as was the case with the ThinkPad tablet type 1838/1839.
    Here is a link to an article on the support site with examples of label locations for different model Lenovo systems.   If the system will not power up at all, finding the physical label is the best course of action when contacting service.
    If the label is missing and the system will power up, there are several ways to easily find this information as it is written into the BIOS on the system board.
    1) Command Prompt
    Run an elevated command prompt, Enter the command "wmic bios get serialnumber" (without the quotations).
    2) BIOS
    Boot to BIOS (press F1 on startup) and the model type and serial number will be listed.
    3) Diagnostics - Lenovo Solution Center (LSC) or the prior Lenovo ThinkVantage toolbox.

    wmic bios get serialnumber  does not work !!!!all your pages about how to find a serial number are disfunctuional !!! What a bed service

    can any one help me.....please...!!!?!!
    How can i validate input number into a Field of type char in oracle form?

    i have tried doing that, but still the field except numbersthere was an error in that code. it should have been
    var_num:=to_number(var_char);however, it appears that you want the entry NOT to be a number. if this is the case then try
    begin
      if to_number(:block.item) = 0 then null; end if;
      message('The entry cannot be numeric');
      raise form_trigger_failure
    exception
      when value_error then
       /* this is where you put the code you want to be run when the
          entry is non-numeric */
