I purchased a creative cloud membership but it still asks me for a serial number when I try to open software

I had Photoshop CC, Dreamweaver CC, and Illustrator CC installed as a trial. The trial has now run out and I purchased an account for a full subscription to all adobe software, but in the creative cloud app it keeps prompting me as "your trial has expired" and when I click "license this software" it prompts me with a serial number screen. All uninstalled apps have a "try" or "buy" button next to them when I assume it should say "install" since I've paid for them.
Some things I've read on forums and have tried with no success:
uninstalling and reinstalling all apps including creative cloud desktop manager
used the adobe cleaner utility to clean all leftover adobe files, then tried reinstalling software
edited the hosts file to remove any additional lines.
changed my language settings to International english.
tried signing in and out
I was told this computer had pirated adobe software installed on it at one time.  Not sure if this is responsible for why this has been so problematic. Please help, Ive spent hours trying to figure this out. ps i'm on a mac.

Jodie84,
I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • My Creative Cloud is in asks for a serial number when I try to login

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. We purchased creative cloud for teams on Friday. Now it is Monday. When I first started the apps I did not get any screen where it said that I was in trial mode. When I started the apps a second time the trial mode screen came up. I signed up but then it askes for a serial number. I already followed the steps from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html but I got stuck at step 4. I cannot click deactivate because it is in grey.
    I upgraded from CS4 Standard. I tried we deactivating those programs but that did not work either.
    The computer is Windows 7 Professional
    Can someone help me?

    Hi llsem16,
    As you mentioned that you have Creative Cloud for Team Subscription, did you send an invitation to yourself from the Admin Console(Creative.adobe.com) and accepted the same. If yes then please try updating AAM from the below mentioned link and try launching the software again.

    Also please check for any entries in Host file in this location
    Run-drivers-etc-hosts. Please open hosts file using notepad and if you find any Adobe entries then run this Microsoft fix it to fix the issue.

    you can install and use on up to two computers at any one time with your single-user license so you need not sign out from your old computer's cc app.
    but if you no longer want cc on your old computer, open your desktop cc app and sign out, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

    The CC does not needs any serial number, it is based on Adobe ID.
    In case you are being asked for serial number then you can refer to.
