I need help! Trying to activate Adobe Creative Suite 3! URGENT

I am trying to activate my application and it's telling me to deactivate the application on an old computer. The old computer was cleaned off so I can't "deactivate" anything. I need help for an immediate project. HELP!
I tried contacting Customer Service but couldn't get through to "chat".

This is a user to user forum, not Adobe support... nobody here can help
You must talk to Adobe for this problem

Need help with upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite to PS CS4

My old laptop with Photoshop on it crashed and I ended up purchasing a new laptop.
I'm trying to reload my PS CS4. I am using an upgrade from an educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium to the CS4 and when I loaded it on my old laptop I had to get installation help through customer service, but now customer service will not help me since it is CS4.
When installing the upgrade, it tell me to select the product I already own. I own the educational full creative suite, but am only upgrading the Photoshop. I chose Photoshop CS and tried entering the serial number for the suite. It tells me that the serial number doesn't match the product chosen. Of course the only products I'm allowed to choose from is Photoshop CS, CS2, or CS3 and not Creative Suite Premium.
The other serial numbers on this CS is Golive CO and Pagemaker Plug-in.
I was told there are Adobe customer service reps here on the forum, please tell me what it was I need to do to get my Photoshop installed.
Thanks

i wasn't aware that you could get a ps4 at an upgrade price using an older creative suite produect. i searched online and found this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/476009) which makes it appear that was not a valid upgrade path.
but, if you're confident that was a valid upgrade path, i'm pretty sure something will need to be done on adobe's end and no amount of manipulation, on your end only, will work.
your best bet would be to get help in this forum from an adobe staff member like jeff wright who is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help adobe customers. to that end, if i were you, i would start a new thread mentioning his name in your title and in your initial post explaining:
you have the educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium and purchased a photoshop cs4 upgrade years ago that required adobe support help to install years ago.
that worked well until a recent computer problem forced you buy a new laptop and you are now trying to reinstall that ps cs4 and again need support help but have been refused help because cs4 is not current.

I'm trying to purchase adobe creative suite 6 and am a student can you help?

Im trying to purchase adobe creative suite 6 and having trouble. I am a student. Can you help

For a limited time only, you get the $19.99 EDU Student Teacher offer as stated here at this link. http://www.adobe.com/products/discount-software-coupons.edu.html
If you have already subscribed to Creative Cloud as a student/teacher, it may be too late for you to get the current promotional discounted student/teacher EDU price of $19.99. You'll have to keep paying the regular EDU $29.99 price until your contract is up or else if you cancel it you pay the remainder that's left on the contract but it won't be cost-effective. I already asked customer service to see if they could waive the cancellation fee so that I could get the current EDU price. I was denied and offered one free month, but I asked the Creative Cloud technician to escalate it. So, it's up in the air right now. I believe they are getting many students calling to inquire about this. You would think that student/teacher prices are set once established, so if $19.99 is the lowest actual student/teacher EDU rate, then what is the $29.99 rate that the rest of us student/teacher EDU subscribers of Creative Cloud are paying?
If you establish a student/teacher EDU rate, you could keep it that way and make it available to all students. Especially the ones who signed up first! Why is Adobe rewarding the laggards?

I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium.

Hi, I'm trying to install Adobe Creative Suit 6 Deisign and Web Premium. It is the Sudent and Teacher Licensing. I was able to get my serial numbers but when I loaded the disc into my Macbook, nothing is popping up for further direction of installation. How should I proceed to install the software?

You can download the installation files and use the serial number from the disc to activate.

Trying to activate a creative suite (mac)... please help

Have had a rough day with Adobe... have been "helped" by the chat people at least 10 times today with no resolution. Some component of my computer (Mac) got fried, and the Apple geniuses advised me to retrieve the data and applications by getting an external enclosure and hooking the hard drive up to another Mac. I did that, but the adobe applications said that I needed to put in a new serial number. After several attempts at using the chat feature, one of the Adobe employees said that I needed to uninstall and try again (and they would do something on their end to make it work). I have this latest transcript (see below), BUT IT STILL DOES NOT WORK after re-installing. Please help...
info: You are now chatting with Sparks.
Sparks: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Sparks: Hi Jay.
Jay Hilscher: Hi Sparks!
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to {email] at the end of your chat.
Sparks: I have received your query.
Sparks: I will check and help you with this.
Sparks: May I please have your email address registered with Adobe?
Jay Hilscher: I'll let you know that I have been disconnected 5 times... this issue is not on my end.
Sparks: And also the serial number of the product?
Jay Hilscher: [email protected]
Jay Hilscher: [removed by moderator - never share publicly]
Sparks: Thank you for the serial number.
Jay Hilscher: you're welcome!
Sparks: Thank you for your patience.
Sparks: May I please know if you have a installed the software again?
Jay Hilscher: Yes I have
Jay Hilscher: But I can't activate it with this serial number
Sparks: If the deactivate button is grayed-out the product is already activated.
Jay Hilscher: Yes... I need to deactivate it.
Sparks: In that case, please go ahead an uninstall the product.
Jay Hilscher: I need it deactivated on the old hard drive so that I can activate it on the computer that I's like to use it on.
Jay Hilscher: I've read on the forum that I don't want to uninstall without first deactivating...
Sparks: No, problem.
Jay Hilscher: What is a problem?
Sparks: Please go ahead and uninstall the product, and install it on the new computer.
Sparks: I will make certain changes for you to activate it on a new computer.
Jay Hilscher: Ok... thanks...
Sparks: You are welcome.
Sparks: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Jay Hilscher: Not right now, I guess... I hope this works!
Sparks: You may contact us back if you face an issues.
Sparks: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Sparks: Are we still connected?

Ned, thanks for the reply. However, that doesn't seem to solve (or actually get me any closer to solving) the problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the creative suite, but I still get the window that says that I have 30 days to activate the software. Then, the serial number that should activate it (per Sparks above) does not. This is followed by another window that says, "We are unable to activate Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3. Click the Phone Activation button to learn how to speak with one of our Customer Care representatives." After clicking the phone activation button, however, and going through that whole process, no opportunity to speak with a Customer Care representative occurs. Before being hung up on by the automated menu voice, I am directed to use the chat feature to "speak" with a representative. This is how I've come to communicate with a number of representatives today (Sunita K / Case # 0213839182; Souvik S / Case #0213841272; Naacom N / Case #0213841941; Sparks / Case # Unknown; and others) - none of whom has been able to follow through on assisting.

Too late to re-activate Adobe creative suite. Can it be fixed?

Hello
Have I done a catastrophic mistake by being too late to re-activate my Adobe creative suite?
I have had computer problems. When I in the end bought a new computer and tried to install Adobe, the re-activation time had run out.
I did have a possibility to re-activate it off course, but didnt do it immidiately, since I was about to re-install everything in the new computer, and then problems arouse that delayed everything ...and then suddenly it was to late.
I will contact support by phone tomorrow. But if someone can ease my pain, by hinting that it is possible to re-activate it, I will get some sleep tonight...
I would be grateful for some help on this..
cheers/Johan

I got help from an online-chat-support-person. He said he could "increase the count". Ill know tomorrow if it'll work. But I trust it will.

Legacy SE 6 Runtime Message When Trying to Open Adobe Creative Suite

Hello -
Our office is using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 (will be upgrading soon). However, when trying to open any Adobe apps such as Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. on ONE of our Macs, we receive a message that says "Legacy SE 6 Runtime Needs to be Installed." On our other Mac (which is new), we do not have this issue. We literally cannot open any Adobe product on this one Mac - we just receive the same popup message about Legacy SE 6 Runtime.
Both Macs are running Yosemite 10.10.2
Both Macs are using Adobe Creative Suite 5.5
I have tried researching this and have not been able to come up with solution. Any guidance or resources is appreciated!!!
Thank you!!
Denise :-)

Thank you!! We will give this a try.

Unable to activate Adobe Creative Suite 3

Hi,
My laptop has recently crashed and I had the hard drive replaced. Because I could not deactivate my copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 prior to the breakdown, I am now unable to activate it as it is indicated that I have used up my activation limit.
Please let me know what I can do. Thanks!

Hi Mylenium,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I'm never able to get through using web chat. May I know if there's an emai address which I can send my request to?
Thanks!

My Serial number says invalid. Trying to transfer Adobe Creative Suite.

I delicensed my Adobe Creative Suite on my old computer and am now trying to get it on my new computer. It keeps saying invalid serial number. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programs on the new computer, but nothing has worked.

13mwarren1989 what operating system are you using? What version of Creative Suite specifically are you trying to install? Did you migrate or transfer any files to your new computer?

Trying to match Adobe Creative Suite Serial Numbers with Installed Software's

I'm trying to log all of my Adobe Creative Suite Software's in an Excel Sheet so i can know which computer the software's are installed on. I own and registered 8 versions of Creative Suite for our office, but i'm trying to now find out which computer each one is installed on for our database logs. When i try to compare our software's serial numbers (Ex. Photoshop, Illustrator) to our Creative Suite serial number nothing matches. How can i find the correct serial numbers to know which computer has which Creative Suite installed without the CD-Roms?

You can't. You will have to deactivate and reactivate by inputting the serial numbers from scratch.
