Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
   Windows:
   In windows 7 navigate to following location:
     /windows/system32/drivers/etc
   1. look out for "Hosts" file
   2. Open it with notepad
   3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
   4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
   Mac:
   1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
   2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
   3. Remove the entries and save the file
   4.  try again launching any product from CC
You can refer :

  • I purchased Adobe CS4.  I am now being asked for my serial number and when I put it in the program does not recognize it for Acrobat Pro 9 though it does for PhotoShop, Bridge and the rest of the suite.  What can I do?

    Contact support if you have serial number issues. Otherwise start by checking this stuff:

  • I've just migrated my Logic Pro 9.1.8 to a new Mac because my old computer crashed. They are asking for a serial number, but I don't have the install disks anymore. Is there someplace in the software itself that I can find the serial number?

    I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?

    In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
    In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here >  About OS X Recovery
    You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
    15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery.

    I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

    If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
    If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
    IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

  • Lightroom CC is the only app that asks for my serial number

    I just purchased Adobe CC and all programs seem to work, except Lightroom.  When I try to open lightroom on my desktop and my laptop computers it asks for my serial number.  I've checked the server connectivity and my adobe account info.  What do I do?

    Hi there,
               Adobe Photoshop Lightroom subscription asks for serial number under two conditions:
               1. When you have just downloaded trial and it's 30 days validity is over Or you have reinstalled the trial on the same system.
                2. When you have downloaded trial version of lightroom and subscribed to paid cloud.
               You will have to uninstall the trial version of lightroom from the sysstem and then login to creative.adobe.com and download the lightroom from there and sign with the adobe id and password, and it will no longer ask for serial number.
    Thank you.

  • I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number, where can I find this?  Thanks.

    I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number before I can open it, where can I find this?  Thanks.

    Hi...
    Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
    Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then redownload:
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • I have installed Lightroom 5.6 on my Mac, but now it is asking for a serial number, and I only have a serial number from LR 4; how do I find the necessary number?

    I have installed Lightroom 5.6 as an upgrade but am unable to proceed because it wants a serial number; how do I attain the needed serial number?

    No, I did not have to purchase the upgrade. But here is what I believe my
    error was: earlier today, I upgraded to LR 5.6 on my laptop. Then I
    upgraded to the same on my desktop, but became confused and installed it
    TWICE.
    Is this the reason that Adobe is asking me to license Lightroom and to come
    up with a serial number? (I have my serial # from LR4, but it does not do.)
    Should I try to deactivate LR 5 and then try again to upgrade to it?
    Or am I still confused and need to purchase the LR 5.6 upgrade? Thanks for
    your help.

    Hi, Christina.
    pdfFactory and Nitro PDF are 2 separate software products which are not made by Adobe Systems - they are made by other software companies. Please contact these other companies directly to get your serial number.

  • HT1349 I used the 30 day trial of IWork and want to purchase it.  But they are asking for my serial number.  I don't have one? I signed up on line, and don't have a box with a number.  What do I do?

    I need help locating a serial number for the 30 day trial of IWork.  I would like to purchase it but can't get beyond that point.  If it was emailed to me I don't have it anymore.  How can I purchase the product?

    Peter,
    Apple doesn't sell iWork that way anymore.
    You have to get it from the Mac App Store if you want to purchase from Apple, or purchase a disk from a software retailler like Amazon. They're quite cheap online now.
    If you do purchase an iWork '09 disk, you will need to trash the trial copy and any plist files it has generated before you install it.

  • I have asked iTunes to print a cover and get a Windows failed and it shuts down iTunes.  The iTunes support asks for a serial number.  My previous iTunes won't print CD cover is what started this.  I have removed and reinstalled the iTunes, Quick Time etc

    I have removed and reinstalled iTunes Version 11, Quick Time, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device, Bonjour, and Apple Applications Support.  I received this instruction from "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.  I reinstalled Version 11 and it still will not print the CD covers and shuts down sometimes when I ask it to print.  I hope they will find a way to make it work. 

    Well my first guess was wrong. The line that failed is the one that writes out the image to disk. I've not revisited the code for that script for ages, but it seems I did add in an extra test for missing files a little while later, then forgot to upload the change. I can reproduce the error message if I deliberately rename a file to confuse iTunes so that seems the most likely reason for your problem with the script. I've uploaded a new build of CreateFolderArt which should work better.
    See FindTracks for a tool to repair broken links. You should probably get that issue fixed first.
