How to retrieve serial number ?

I just bought à printing shop with 5 Macs and CS3 installed. I want to be fully legal and I need to know if all copies are legal. The previous owner told me that the software was downloaded from Adobe but he doesn't have the emails with the serial numbers anymore. Is there a way to see the serial numbers of already installed CS3 applications ?

The only way I know (courtesy of Peter Spier) to see the serial number in CS3 is to de-activate and then activate again. It shows you the serial number in the activation dialog.

  • How to retrieve serial number from a SUN Fire V440

    Good afternoon,
    In order to prepare a shipping of some machines, I am trying to collect serial numbers of all of them.
    One of those is a V440.
    Normally the way to retrieve the serial number is rebooting the machine, and then the serial number appears as one of the first outputs on screen.
    However on this one machine I see "MACHINE_SN".
    The ALOM of the machine does not know the command "showplatform".
    Do you know whether there is another way to retrieve the serial number of a V440 machine?
    Thanks
    Dominique

    Can I conclude that there is no way anymore to get the serial number of that machine?That would be correct.
    The actual serial is only on that sticker unless someone installs and uses SNEEP to write the information to the prom of a system.
    In your first post of this thread you mentioned seeing something named `serial` at bootup. That is only a representation of the systemboard's MAC address and isn't a chassis serial.
    Was Explorer ever installed to that V440 by any chance? If "yes" then you might hope that the serial number information was manually entered during the installation of that software tool.
    Now, having said all that, there were some model systems that had the chassis serial already written at the factory, but those were the bigger (expensive) midrange boxes such as the SF3800 through SF6900 models. That doesn't help you with your V440, though.

  • Pagemill 2 - how to retrieve serial number?

    I have a pagemill 2.0 instalation CD.  I am tryin to reinstall but I have lost the validation code.  Do I have any options?

    I didn't know people still ran Vista
    Anyway, good luck with it.
    However you'll have to call Adobe Customer Care to retrieve the serial number, assuming it was registered in the first place

  • Can't retrieve serial number

    Purchased CS6 as stand-alone program, tried to retrieve serial number and was told I didn't need one. I DO NOT WANT Cloud!

    I guess that's something new; I didn't realize Adobe changed to some kind of online serial number retrieval process - assuming that box is legitimate.  First I've heard of online serial number retrieval.
    I wish you the best of luck with returning an opened software box to BestBuy.  I've run afoul of their restrictive return policies before and as a result I've stopped doing business with them.  Make sure you take along screen prints showing the failures you experienced.
    This gives you another opportunity to consider that at $9.99 a month for the Photographer's bundle you could have a LOT of months of Creative Cloud subscrioption for the price of that $700 software (almost 6 years by my count, and you don't have to pay it all up front).  I don't know about you, but I have no idea whether computers/operating systems 6 years from now will even be able to run Photoshop CS6 software purchased this year.  Just a thought.

  • Remote installation - invalid serial number: could not retrieve serial numb

    I am unable to use the remote setup admin assistant, and get a demand for a serial number, yet when I enter it, get the message-"invalid serial number: could not retrieve serial number". Unfortunately the tech support number for the Philippines does not work (get a recording saying that it is not yet working), and the Australian number calling long distance is constantly busy. I have wasted two days trying to set up the mini server for this enterprise and am amazed that there is no easy way to contact Apple for a solution.

    Hi
    Kind of obvious but which serial number are you using? Using the remote assistant requires the serial number of the MacMini itself. The first 8 letters. You'll find this serial number on the underside of the MacMini. Better still the box as it's easier to read. Although in the past it's not really been case sensitive I have found the last 2-3 years where keying in Caps where appropriate tends to be more successful. I have had a colleague report problems unless the whole of the Serial Number was used.
    Apologies if you've already tried this.
