I have purchased cs6 but says invalid serial number when asked to enter

I bought a hard copy of cs6 but dont have a dvd drive on my macbookpro. So when I go to install the trial version and enter a valid serial number, it says that it is invalid? What do I have to do to install this photoshop!!!

It is perfectly fine to download the trial versiona nd then enter the serial number from the purchased box. The Serial number will be written on the back of the disc case. See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
Is your purchase a direct purchase from adobe.com, or did you buy through a reseller?
Is the boxedpfroduct you purchased, for Mac or Windows. It'l be mentioned on the box, disc, and the order.
Also, is this a fresh purchase or are you upgrading from a previous version? If you're upgrading, then the installer will also prompt you to enter the serial number for the qualifying version.
Please provide some more details and then folks can have enough information to help you.

    Please tell us if you are installing on Windows or Mac.

  • CS2 Installs successfully on Windows 7 but says invalid Serial Number

    Hi all,
    I just bought a new Dell with Windows 7.  When I installed the CS2 Premium software, it accepted my serial number and it also activated the software successfully at the end of installation.  When I check my online Adobe account, it shows the activation.  It's only when I actually go to use the apps that I get the message that it thinks I have no or an invalid serial number.  I'm wondering if Windows 7 is storing the info in a different place or format.  Anyone have any suggestions?  Adobe no longer supports CS2 and definitely not for Windows 7.
    Thanks for your help,
    Scott

    I had same problem. Adobe support (tech support and customer service) are no help. Try this. Deactivate and uninstall the program on your new Windows 7 pc. Then create a new folder on hard drive called " Program Files CS2" or any other name. Do not use the "Program Files" or "Program Files  (x86) " folder and do not create a folder with () brackets in the folder name.
    After installation, program should come up and not even ask you to "Personalize" it with your name and serial number.

  • Says invalid serial number-i got it via email from adobe. (CS6 design standard student edition).

    says invalid serial number-i got it via email from adobe. (CS6 design standard student edition).

    I think that you'll need to get in touch with support to sort this out.
    But you could check your order to see if you ordered and upgrade or a new purchase. The serial numbers for upgrade are different, and require the earlier version on your computer ( or its serial number instead).
    If you've oredered an upgrade, check that you're entering the correct serial number. You'll probably be prompted to enter both: once for qualifying product and once for the new upgrade.
    Let us know if this was the issue. If not, I suggest that you get in touch with Adobe Support.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code

    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code when I try that way.  I need the program and because I have opened the box it can't be returned to the store.  I have over $100 tied up in this product that I can't use.  Someone said install the free trial version...Ok, I did...but it is just a 30 day trial and I want the full version of the product I paid for!! So how do I get a valid serial number?  The serial number on the box and the redemption code card both come up as invalid.  Not a very happy customer right now!!

    You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone.

  • Acrobat 8 - switch hw and os from win xp to win 8.1 - installation says 'invalid serial number' - although I am very sure, it is :o)

    Hi folks,
    I am switching from my former pc (win XP) to a new one (Win 8.1).
    As I wanted to move my acrobat 8 installation to the new computer, I did the following right now:
    - I deactivated the license (from within acrobat 8) on the old computer
    - I uninstalled acrobat 8 on the old computer and restarted it
    - I downloaded acrobat 8 from the adobe website on the new computer
    - I startet the installation, which asks for the serial number
    - I logged in to my acrobat-account and found my serialnumber there
    - I checked this serial number with my paper-copies and invoice (bought ion 2007): it's allright
    - I typed in the serialnumber / I copied it in from the account / I copied it from the email I recieved in 2007 / I checked it twice and more:
    The installation-tool says 'invalid serial number' - although I am very sure, it's the right one.
    I cant go further.
    What is going wrong or am I doing wrong?
    thanx for your help

    Hi crunchycrisp,
    First of all i wont suggest you to install Acrobat 8 on windows 8. This version of application has never been tested on Windows 8.
    You may upgrade to the latest version of Acrobat.

  • Invalid Serial Number when using Customization Wizard to install Acrobat 8

    Hello. I'm trying to install Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional using the Customization Wizard to create a transform. The serial number is for the volume license product, and I put this number in the space provided in the Wizard. Whenever I remotely deploy the msi file and the user opens the program, I get the following error: "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and enter in a valid serial number when asked." The program then closes. This does not happen when I install from the CD.
    Each of the workstations is a Gateway E-4500S running Windows XP SP2. Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional is uninstalled prior to installation of Acrobat 8, and Acrobat 8 exists alongside Adobe Reader 8.1.1. No other Adobe products are installed apart from Flash Player.
    The following are the contents of the setup.ini file:
    [Startup]
    RequireOS=Windows 2000;Windows XP
    RequireMSI=3.0
    RequireIE=6.0.2600.0

    I've tried editing the setup.ini file to indicate the full path to the mst file, to no avail. Pretty much at the end of my rope right now. Any suggestions? I'll be happy to provide further information.

    Correct. The CD installation goes without a hitch. I'm using Attachmate WinInstall to try to deploy the software remotely. It worked fine for Adobe Reader 8.1.1, but it's been a bear for Acrobat 8. I'd be okay with a straight CD installation if it didn't involve fifty machines.

  • Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

    Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

    I wonder if this is related to the previous version issue with Acrobat 8 that displayed the same or similar error?
    Here is the text from a very old document for Acrobat 8 KB if you want to try it but I don't know if it will work
    Error: "You have entered an invalid serial number..." when you try to launch Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer
    Issue
    When you try to launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer, the program returns the error message, "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and enter a valid serial number when asked."
    Solution
    Check the alm_config_files folder for a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file.
    Navigate to the following folder:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\alm_config_files
    The following two files should appear in this folder:
    AdobeConfig.xml
    AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf
    Delete the AdobeConfig.xml file.
    Rename the AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf to AdobeConfig.xml by deleting the "aiwbf" suffix.
    Launch Acrobat 8 Standard.
    Additional Information
    On some Dell computers, a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file is created when Acrobat 8 Standard is installed. The AdobeConfig.xml file without the "aiwbf" suffix is written for a volume-license version. The correct AdobeConfig.xml file is given the suffix. When a retail version of Acrobat tries to read the volume-license AdobeConfig.xml file, Acrobat returns the error.

  • Invalid serial number when I re install premiere elements 10

    I am getting a message that I have a invalid serial number when I try to re install premiere elements 10. It is the correct number fropm the box.

    weeone001
    That happened to me trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit. In all my years of working with these programs, that was the first time that ever happened. Is your Premiere Elements 10 on Windows or Mac. I think that i remember some Mac issues in this regard.
    Activation problems can only be corrected by Adobe, and John T. Smith's second link in post 1 can help you with that.
    But, before you seek Adobe Chat, shut down the computer and try the installation again.
    I was about to contact Adobe Chat, when the second or third time around, the serial number took. Servers issues??? Never did find out. And, I was not typing in the wrong numbers.
    As an aside, if you have Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, please let us know if you experience any unexplained display issues. There is an epidemic of such going around. The fix, for now, is to roll back the video card drive version. More on that as indicated.
    Please update us on your progress.
    Thanks.
