I'm trying to reinstall photoshop CS5 in a new laptop but i have an "The serial number is not valid for this product" error

I'm trying to reinstall photoshop CS5 in a new laptop (pc) but i have an "The serial number is not valid for this product" error.
I have deactivated photoshop in the old computer.
The old laptop have photoshop installed with the DVD but the new laptop don't have DVD so i downloaded cs5 from Download CS5 products. ¿Maybe doing this is an error?

the installation files work the same whether from a disc or download, but there are other ways to mismatch a serial and installer.

If you purchased it from Adobe, it is registered and that would prove ownership as well as the emaill they sent with the serial number.

Sign in with the email and password that you bought it under.
Click on the triangle next to your product and you will see the serial number assigned to you.
You have a valid record and proof of ownership. Try again.

Perpetual Photoshop versions support one platform. For a fee you can switch platform and get a serial for the other platform.

Oh my, I hope so too but its pretty common on these types of sites - even eBay sellers do it. Its all about the way they word it. Some sellers are very crafty in the way they word their ads misleading the buyer into thinking they're getting a legitimate and licensed product when it's actually not. Be careful in any future products you buy on these kinds of sites.
My advice is to quickly write an email to the seller and demand to know what you just bought - Be VERY specific and thorough with your questions - for example on ebay I bought a computer that had CS5 installed on it (but it didn't come with the install disks) This particular seller installed CS5 or 6 as well as the Microsoft Suites on all of his used pc's. So before I bid, I sent an email to him asking if it included the product codes for the CS5 because I intended to register it for Adobe support. He advised me that he bought bulk licenses for all his software, he told me exactly where the product codes were on a document and they were in fact legit.
Also check the return policy of the Site (not the seller) sometimes they offer a little protection to their customers. Be sure to contact their support department and their Fraud department if it turns out you were scammed. And definitely give negative feedback to the seller.
One more thing, you should also check with the Adobe licensing support department. In fact, do this FIRST - so that you're sure the code is no good. Sometimes the product codes have expiration dates (though I've never heard of it happening to entire suite) If this is the case they will issue you a new code free of charge.
Good Luck. I really hope it all works out for you.

Trying to install CS5.5 Design Std. Serial No. provided "is not valid for this product"

Hi, I'm pulling my hair out here.
I bought CS5.5 Student/Teacher edition and applied for my serial number from Adobe. After validation of my proof of education Adobe sent me a serial number. When I attempt to install I get the message "This serial number is not valid for this product" Anyone know why, I've looked under the installation help guidelines but to no avail. I'm using Mac.
Thank you , in anticipation.

You'll need to contact support to make sure that the serial number you received is correct for the product you're installing. And if it isn't, have a new serial number issued. So sorry for the inconvenience. For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/tuMwkC.

Do I need an account to place Photoshop elements on a new computer after deactivating or will the serial number suffice?

Do i need to install the entire suite on the secound computer to access photoshop?…
No, installing Photoshop alone would do, that would also install Bridge on your computer. But you do have to download the whole-suite download to install Photoshop from it. The individual Photoshop download will never accept your suite serial number.
Incidentally, the "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one.

I just purchased Photoshop 11. The serial number is not valid to get me out of the trial.

You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.

I reinstalled photoshop CS5 on my new laptop . I'm unable to update camera Raw to add Nikon D7000 camera .

I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 extened on my new Laptop . I had deactivated and un installed the program from my pc first .I cannot update camera raw to include my Nikon D7000 camera . I now have hundreds of NEF Raw files which I cannot open in Photoshop .

Hi
Thanks for the info . The problem is it appears to me that you can only convert to dng while importing from the camera in bridge . My files have been imported and I can't see how to convert . As adobe don't support CS5 I think I'm snookered .
Thanks

Reinstalled photoshop elements 7 and it is saying i have an invalid serial number

I am trying to reinstall photoshop elements 7. I bought it and installed twice on my laptop. My laptop died and now I am trying to install on my new PC. It is telling me I have an invalid serial number. what can I do?

So I think this has been figured out. A very helpful person at Adobe assisted me via phone, and it looks like I need to install the Creative Cloud for desktop. She clearly stated the steps and it is going as described.
So, for anyone else who has a creative cloud app subscription (mine is a single-app membership for Illustrator), note that you need to have the Creative Cloud for desktop app installed to enter your serial number for another adobe product you have already installed. I had incorrectly downloaded and installed Illustrator without using the Creative Cloud app. However, the creative cloud app is now updating my version of CS 6 and should now sync with my SN for Illustrator.
Thanks again Larry and Monika.

I am trying to load Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 from a disk but I have lost my serial number. Is there anything I can do??

I have just purchased a new computer and was going to reinstall my Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 but I am unable to locate my serial number. I have an Adobe account but it is not located there - it may be that I did not register the software. Is there any way I can get the serial number?

I'm trying to reinstall the cs6 but it says the serial number is not valid

why i can't reinstall my CS6?

Hi Michael,
The provided serial key is a valid serial for Design and Web Premium CS6 Upgrade.
To use the serial number you need to have the serial number fo the previous qualifying version handy as the installer will prompt to enter the olde serial number as well.
Regards,
Rave
