I purchased photoshop windows but needed mac. I downloaded Mac but it says serial number is invalid.

I want to know how to down load photoshop 6 for my mac. I accidentally purchased photoshop windows. I downloaded mac version but it says serial number invalid.

Hi Tyson,
You will not be able to use a windows Serial Number of MAC or vice versa. If you have a windows serial number and if your want to swap it with MAC then you can follow the article: Order product | Platform, language swap which will explain you about platform swap.
Let me know for any other confusion, also let me know if it works or not.
Thanks,
Ratandeep Arora

    Does your serial number show on your account page?

  • Says serial number is invalid even thought I purchased Lightroom.

    I had a free trial of Lightroom.  I purchased the software.  When I put in my serial number, it says the number is invalid.  I've followed the instructions and went to "My Orders".  Under the section where I would click "download" it says "not applicable".  Probably because I already have Lightroom downloaded!!!  I just need my serial number validated so I can keep working on photographs. 
    It is SO frustrating to not be able to call and talk to a live person, and I have had a terrible experience with the customer service I have had so far.  Is there anyone out there that can help?

  • How to download already purchased Photoshop Essentials on a new computer when I do not have serial number

    I have purchased a new computer and need to download Photoshop Essentials which I purchased earlier but do not now have the serial number (my hard disk crashed and I did not save the info).  Thanks for your help.

    You should be able to find the serial number for the software thru your Adobe account online.  I am not familiar with the name Photoshop Essentials so I am not sure if there is such a program available to download.  Do you happen to mean Photoshop Elements?  If so, available downloads can be found at...

    If you are unable to find your serial number, your only hope will be to contact Adobe Support by chat or phone to see if they can provide it to you.  THey might not be able to if you are unable to prove you purchased the software.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

  • Migrated Acrobat XI Pro over to new iMac, but now it says serial number is invalid.

    After the migration to a new iMac, it told me that it did not install correctly and I needed to reinstall Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  So I did, and now when I enter the serial number for activation, it says it is invalid.  Anyone know what the problem might be? 

    Hey Circuit Jumper,
    Could you please let me know whether you deactivated Acrobat XI from the old machine or not.
    You will need to first deactivate Acrobat (from Help menu) from your old computer and then install and activate it (from Help menu) the software on the new computer using the same Adobe ID credentials (for subscription) or serial number (for license).
    Please note that you can activate an Acrobat subscription or license on maximum two computers (say a desktop at work and laptop at home)
    If you need to install Acrobat on the third computer, then you are required to first deactivate it from any of the old computers, so that there are no installation issues.
    Please let me know if you have done in the same manner.
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • I apparently purchased a Windows version of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard But I need a Mac Version.

    I apparently purchased a Windows version of Adobe Acrobat XI Standard But I need a Mac Version. I inquired of the Adobe Community about how to do it. The person who responded said I should download a trial Mac version. I couldn't get this to happen. That was a few weeks ago. I tried again tonight. Now it says my trial period ended. Help!

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

    There are some PE serial number which is specific for windows OS, you may check that also.

    Just user to user....based on past and current history, Adobe Tech Support is not going to help you with a technical issue which is preventing you from using your purchased serial number for Photoshop Elements. Version 12 is not the current version. And, the Adobe Tech Support is limited even for the current version which is 13. If this matter involves a purchased activated serial number trapped on a crashed computer while you are trying to install on a 3rd computer, then probably Adobe Chat Activation can be of assistance. If that is the case and you want to explore that possibility, then click on the following link
    Contact Customer Care
    Photoshop Elements
    Adobe ID, Signing In
    Adobe ID, Sign In, Account Help
    Chat Panel
    If the above link does not hold its set, then you will need to navigate to the Chat Panel using the above titles as guides.
    Are you getting one of those "too many computers with your serial number" messages? Then the above should apply to your situation.
    Before the above consider....
    a. For Photoshop Elements technical issues please post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your
    question got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum.
    b. Have you verified your Photoshop Elements serial number at the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com) - after signing in with your
    Adobe ID and Password, type My Products in the Search field and follow the path to your product in My Products. Click on Adobe
    Photoshop Elements 12 in your list to reveal the serial number.
    c. Do the install with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.

  • HT1338 Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think it worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Yesterday, I purchased Mountain Lion OSX and tried to download it but I don't think the download worked.  How can I tell if I am using Mountain Lion and how do I get help if the download was unsuccessful?

    Click your Apple menu icon top left corner of your screen.
    From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
    If Mountain Lion is installed, it will say:  v10.8
    If not, launch the App Store. From the App Store menu bar click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
    FYI ..  for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.
