I am having to reinstall Adobe Pro because of a hard drive failure. I have lost the License Key and need to know how to retrieve it so I can reinstall the product.

How do I retrieve the Adobe Pro License key/# so I can reinstall on my computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced due to failure and don't have the necessary information to reinstall Adobe Pro.

As this was a 1,000 USD + purchase I did registered back in 2008 when I got my copy of "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium". And now I'm in the same situation as you. I did go to manage my account and found my serial number.
My disk crashed completely and I got everything back and running from my Time Machine backup. A few days ago Illustrator said there was a licensing issue. I tried all their gradual solutions up to the very last one: Reinstalling.
I did that and inserted the Serial number; it worked. Now that I'm opening the Adobe Acrobat Pro it requires me to input the serial and it says is invalid!
Anyone has an idea about this?

    Hi 12msonti,
    Please try the following:
    Delete the Adobe PCD folder and caps.db file:
    Windows:  \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD
                        \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\caps\caps.db
    Launch Acrobat and enter the serial number and check.

  • My i phone 4s was stolen today. I need to know how to retrieve my photos from i cloud from i cloud, not my device because I don't have it!

    My phone was stolen. All of my pictures that are important to me are on it on i cloud or at least should be. I do not have my phone because some jerk stole it, therefore need to know how to retrieve my photos that were streamed. Someone please help me. When I go onto i cloud there is no tab or application for me to click on related to photos. All I have the option of going to is: calendar, contacts, reminders and that's about it. Where are my pictures?!

    Hi Elizabeth,
    You photos are only stored in the iCloud PhotoStream, or as an iCloud backup, which you can back up to a new device that has been signed on to the same iCloud account. There is no direct way to see photos that are in iCloud.
    You would have needed to have backed them up to either iPhoto on your Mac, or to the Photos file on a PC.

    What exactly did you purchase: Acrobat, or the ExportPDF / PDF Pack online service?

  • Reinstall Acrobat Pro 9 after a hard drive crash?

    So I am sitting here looking at the disk I have and the serial number.  I cannot remember where we bought this and I am not sure I even have that documentation anymore.  All I can recall is that it was 2 licenses per disk.  I do know we did not buy it thru the adobe website.
    Can I re-install on the new hard drive or am I going to have problems activating because there is obviously no way to deactivate the old one since the hard drive crashed?

    If you have only installed once, then you still have one activation left. If you have no activations left, then you have to contact Adobe and explain that you lost the harddrive so that they can reset your activation count.

  • How do i reinstall my Quicktime Pro from a crashed hard drive. I have my old Pro code

    My HD crashed. I have my old Pro code from my purchase, but I can only download the free version and there is no place I can find to put in my registration code. I also cannot find a Pro Download without going thru another purchase.
    Thanks
    Kerry

    Download and install QuickTime 7 for Windows from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/.
    Once it's installed, click on Start > Control Panel and search for QuickTime.
    Open the QuickTime Control Panel and you should be able to enter your QuickTime Pro registration information there.
    Hope that helps, have a great day.

  • I have my Acrobat License Key but don't know which version of Adobe it corresponds to.

    Is there a way to determine what version of Adboe Acrobat Pro goes with my License Key? I have attempted to contact Adobe support directly but have had no luck even getting ahold of a real person, VERY very disappointed in their support thus far. hope you guys can help me out.
    Thanks!!

    In case your acrobat is still installed on your computer, then you can check windows registry.
    Acrobat versions 9 and earlier store the serial in  key named "serial". As the unencrypted serial too this is a 24-digit key, usually starting with 9.....
    It is basically possible to decode this serial back to those type of serial which can be entered in a program installation - unfortunately the support staff may not tell you the result. In other words... bad luck
    But as i know there are some serial recovery tools which can do this job for you too.
    If the result is a 24 digit number, starting with 1016 or 1118, then you can be sure it's a serial that fits the algorithm used for serial numbers.
    What is not safe at this moment, if this is a legal copy. And exactly at this point you need to contact the support chat again to let them check this for you.
    Once you got the complete serial, you will find the downloads under these links:
    Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
    even more accurate links you will find here

  • Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC.  I have LR 4 on disk and LR 5 upgrade on disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro.  Also how do I transfer photos?

    I'm not very good with computers and need help.  My LR 4 and LR 5 upgrade are on disk but my new MacBook Pro doesn't use disk.  How do I load LR on my new computer?  Also, how do I get the photos from LR on my old computer to the new computer?

    You can download Lightroom thru the link(s) below.  If you only want to install the version 5 upgrade you do not need to install 4 first - you likely just need to provide the serial number for it when you activate 5.
    Lightroom - all versions

    Mac

    As far as transferring photos goes, that is something you might get help for in the Photoshop Lightroom forum.  But you could wait here and see if anyone knows, or you could search Google and probably find out how.

  • I am an Apple novice and need to know how to back up my programs on MB Pro - Lion

    I know how to back up programs on PC, but am new to Mac and would like some advice about how to best back up programs on my Macbook Pro (purchased second hand) without disks.  Thank you in advance

    If you purchased a MacBook Pro secondhand and it came with third-party software on it, note that you do not own that software without disks.  It is illegal for you to use that software.  If some of that software is useful to you, you should buy copies of it so that you can use it legally, and so that you can reinstall it should the need ever arise.  (Note that there is no way to reliably reinstall copy software from a backup in the event of needing to do a clean reinstall.  You would need the disks so you could do a clean reinstall of the apps as well.)
    Also, note that the very first thing you should do with a secondhand machine is erase the hard drive and reinstall the system from scratch.  You don't know what the original owner has done with that machine, and there could be malware on it.  You should never trust a system from an unknown party.

  • MacBook Pro 2012. Replaced hard drive yesterday by apple. Went home working and now it turns off and won't come back on till I plug it in... Help!

    Have had a ton of issues with my Mac. Went to the apple store in march and they said my processor could be going bad and they basically did nothing. Yesterday I was using my computer put it to sleep. 10 minutes later I opened it up and it completely crashed. Drove 2 hours to get to apple because I am away at school and need my computer for finals. They replaced my hard drive and it was working perfectly fine till today. Now it turns on and works and then shuts off and it won't come back on till I plug it in. It's completely charged and I need it for my classes. I have apple care but I can't keep driving back to apple every day. I have a apple appointment tomorrow but this is ridiculous. Has anyone had any of these issues? What's it going to take for them to replace my computer I can't even live a day without it right now. And by the way. I could not even get any of my data off my old hard drive. So basically nothing is on this computer right now.

    Let them know how this is inconveniencing you.  For a replacement, I believe Apples general rule of thumb is if it comes in for the 3rd time for the same issue they will replace it, but it may vary by store.  It cant hurt to ask for a replacement.

  • I purchased Logic Pro in the app store and wanted to know how I get soundtrack pro downloaded?

    I recently purchased Logic from the app store.  I have been reading up on tutorials and it made mention of Soundtrack Pro which is supposed to be bundled with the software.  Where do I download this?  Is this not a full version of Logic?

    Hi
    Soundtrack Pro was included in the Logic STUDIO bundle on DVD's. The Appstore Logic Pro is just that: Logic Pro.
    Soundtrack Pro would seem to have been discontinued and is no longer available.

  • Does anyong know how to retrieve bookmarks after firefox gets reinstalled I did hundreds of hours of study straight.

    I am hoping you can help me with this please reply. I spent hundreds of hours doing research for Collage. Mostly regarding IT courses, with between 5 and 40 hour research sessions every day, at least 10 weeks straight, but I cannot retrieve my bookmarks, Without going into detail. Windows, i.e. Microsoft, checked my primary hard drive without asking and changed its letter path, causing me to have problems booting the computer making it impossible to repair the operating system, which also effected the bookmarks in the old firefox browser. The collage I attend require in order to attend I use Firefox 3.6.28 or the lowest possible one available. Please help. I tried looking up bookmark help and even accessed the firefox profile folder but nothing has worked. Tanks in advance.
