Install Hardware setup utility - Invalid Serial Number

Hi,
When I try to install "Hardware Setup utility" 1.48.0.11C or 1.48.0.09C on my TOSHIBA X200-245, I obtain the message error "invalid serial number" (in French : Le numero de serie est incorrect).
How can I do ?
This utility isn't nom on my notebook.
Thanks

Hi,
My OS is Vista SP1 (Version SE : Microsoft Windows Vista edition Familiale Premium 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1).
Initially, the version was 1.48.0.11C. I made a mistake. I removed it from my notebook X200-245.
When I use Toshiba diagnostic tool, the displayed serial number is good. When I try to install Hardware setup utility, the message error says that it is invalid.
Best regards.
Jean

Re install acrobat Pro 8 Invalid serial number.

I reset my computer and am trying to reinstall acrobat Pro 8 and I am getting a message that says Invalid serial number. I purchased this product and have the receipt.

Hello Terri,
You need to get your serial number checked by Adobe Customer service.

Fresh install of cs 2, invalid serial number error

My version of CS wont register anymore. I was directed to install version CS2 from the website download section. I uninstalled CS from windows 7 and installed CS2 using the supplied installer. I used the supplied serial number only to get a inavlid name, company, or serial number error, and the program shuts down. Online help was of no help other than walking me through another fresh install of the program ending up with the same results.
Is the problem in the registry? and if so how do I clean it without disrupting other programs?

Invalid serial number Acrobat 8.0 Professional

I am encountering an error when I try to install Acrobat Professional 8.0. I keep getting an invalid serial number error. The error originated as a result of attempting to move the license from an old Windows XP machine to a new one with Windows 7. When I attempt to install I get an invalid serial number error, however it is the same serial number which was used to activate on the older machine which has now had the software removed and the license deactivated. I have tried the trouble shooting steps on the adobe help center website.

If it was an upgrade, it is likely the S/N that is being requested is of the qualifying product.

Sat A200-1AE: Toshiba Hardware Utility - "the serial number is invalid"

Dear Sirs,
I install Vista Business to my A200-1AE (originaly it was Home Primium). I install all drivers exept TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility . Then i try to install it is says "the serial number is invalid"
Can some one help how to install it and what can be a problem?

What I did - I walk thru the original drivers that were added on the cd with Home Vista.
I found out that Toshiba Hardware Utility version is 1.48.0.8c, it is not the same as it is on a download drivers presented by toshiba for downloading v.1.48.0.9c.
1.48.0.9c - this is the version wich didnt want to be instaled -"Serial number is incorrect". So i found it in the net and install 1.48.0.8c
Plus it was mentioned that all drivers from the beginning have to be installed in order - given by toshiba, but by number 8 it was mentioned *TI Multiple Digital Media card Reader* - only after Jeffrey msg i found out that it is the same ->Flash Media Driver - the one i was installing right after Flash card Support utility - since i coudnt figure out what they mean by T*I Multiple Digital Media card Reader*.
I tryed it on my girlfriend notebook and it worked.
Right now I will try it on my Notebook - after usefull help by you Jimi regarding incorrect ROM size i will try it and let you knoiw if it worked.
I just dont understand why it is important to install drivers in the strick order + different versions appears.
One more thing, I have a problem with Robson Package - it is all the time against me -no instalation :-( but it is appears with the rest of drivers presented by toshiba for my model.

Is it by any chance asking for a "qualifying serial number"?

Re: Qosmio X300 - "Wrong serial number" if I install hardware setup

Hi!
My computer is Qosmio X300-11W. I've jist installed a new Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
I installed all drivers from the list wich I recieved from Toshiba's technical support. But the problem came up when I tried to install "Hardware Setup", I've got a message "Wrong serial number". I can't understand which serial number is wrong.

Hi
As far as I know this error message appears if your mainboard was exchanged from an authorized service provider and they did forget to set the correct serial number.
So I think you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. The technicians can try to help you.
Here you can search for an ASP:

"Invalid serial number" when installing Toshiba utilities on NB200-13J

This model (13J) is the government-sponsored student edition used by thousands of Greek pupils and is not listed in the Support downloads.
I made a new partition and installed XP SP3 Pro, in addition to the standard XP Home. I downloaded all the drivers for the model number printed on the sticker (PLL25E-00401WMG, which I assume corresponds to NB200-122 in the Driver Downloads).
Most of the important Toshiba utilities (Hardware Setup, Hotkey, Value Added Logical Device) terminate with the error "Wrong serial number".
Given that the Toshiba utilities work fine in the standard (old) installation,
1. Is there a way to bypass the serial number checking for the installation of Toshiba utilities?
2. Are there specific Toshiba downloads for NB200-13J ?

I apologise for the long post, but I am afraid that sooner or later other users of NB200 will (stumble on the same issues.)
Dear Timox, thank you for this interesting scenario, and let me offer my first thoughts. I have already seen this theme of installation sequencing in the forums, and my sequence was about the same - first non-Toshiba stuff and then Toshiba stuff.
You and other forum members say that the order is "very important" and of course I'd like to know *why* the order is important. A possible answer would be that each utility expects something else already having been installed. If this was the case, i.e. that users should follow a linear sequence of installation, wouldn't it be very easy for the developers to embed error messages in each utility like "please install utility X first and retry installation"?. In the same line of thought, developers could have bundled everything in one big executable and offer it for use in clean installation scenarios. If the "why" of the specific sequence is not stated explicitly, the "importance" of installation sequence still remains in the realm of magic.
Having said all that, I deleted the windows installation and started anew.
Non-Toshiba stuff in the beginning of your list were ok (I do them the same way for some 15 years now).
ConfigFree was the first in your list to misbehave, issuing the infamous in these forums message "This program only works on a Toshiba System". When I saw this I knew I was doomed. This error a1lone is sufficient for me to claim that the "importance of installation order" is a myth, and that this and the other Toshiba utilities listed below do not recognise my machine.
Here are my results:
TOSHIBA Configfree - This program only works on a Toshiba System
On reboot, and on any reboot, Configfree presents the same message.
TOSHIBA Hotkey - The serial number is invalid.
TOSHIBA Hardware setup - The serial number is invalid.
Toshiba Zooming utility - OK
Toshiba Zooming utility driver - OK
TOSHIBA Password Utility - The serial number is invalid
Toshiba Fn-esse - OK
TOSHIBA Accessibility - The serial number is invalid
TOSHIBA Touchpad On_Off - The serial number is invalid
TOSHIBA Power Saver - OK
TOSHIBA Power Saver Driver - OK
On reboot (and in all subsequent reboots) I get
"A fatal error has occurred. The program has terminated. code: 0x47F
PC Diagnostics - OK
Running PCDiag gives the following:
Model Name: Unknown
Part Number: Unknown
Serial Number: Unknown
Serial Number: Unknown
OS Version: Unknown
BIOS Version: Unknown
Physical Memory: Unknown
Testing CPU and Memory gives PASS results.
SD Memory Utilities - OK
HDD Protection - OK
3G, Driver RF, Wireless manager & Network Device ID Registry Setting Tool - not applicable for NB200-13J
TOSHIBA Value Added Logical device - NOT in your list and from what I read, very vital for NB200, does not install at all, as if the file were damaged. I had to manually decompress setup.exe and run the resulting DPInst.exe, after which TVALD says it installed fine.
This completes the clean installation saga.
Now, checking the Services, only Toshiba Bluetooth is listed.
Checking running processes with Sysinternals Process Explorer, I see the following Toshiba-related running processes:
CFSvcs - Service of Configfree (supposedly "only working for Toshiba systems" and not mine!!!)
ThpSrv.exe - TOSHIBA HDD Protection Service
TosBtSrv.exe - TOSHIBA Bluetooth Service
ZoomingHook.exe - TOSHIBA Zooming utility Hotkey Hook
Smoothview.exe - Smoothview (by TOSHIBA)
TosBTMng.exe and under it another 6 Bluetooth-related processes
_Preliminary conclusions and alternative theories:_
1. My windows may be missing some service(s), prerequisite for the Toshiba utilities, or there is a specific mandatory locale/configuration to be used when installing them, or MSDN OSs are not compatible, etc etc XP-related dark matter.
2. NB200-13J is not compatible with the utilities.
3. My EEPROM contents were somehow corrupt (from what I read many Tosh laptops suffer from this) and I need to reprogram them with the DMI Update Utility (see e.g. http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/7011-toshiba-notebook-dmi-updates-for-wrong-error-message/) or with special startup disks (from what I read, not yet issued for the NB200 series)
4. I am missing a non-public Toshiba utility/driver, provided only to major vendors (and not to end customers) in order to customise their windows pre-installations.
5. Some conspiracy theory, like the one saying that Toshiba Corporation succumbs to pressures from Microsoft Corporation to poison or kill XP in laptops/netbooks (...)
6. I am using the wrong fairy stardust.
_Next step_: I'll compare the services and processes running on the original windows with the ones on the clean installation and see what is missing.
In the meantime, any more ideas would be greatly appreciated... (to be continued!)

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:

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 during first install

Just wrapped off the seal on the OS X SL Server i just got.
But when i come to the part of the installation where I´m supposed to enter the serial that came in the box, i get the following message:
"Invalid serial number entered
Setup requires a valid serial number. The serial number has the format XSVR-106-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x!
I´ve gone over the serial at least 20 times now, so I´m preeeetty sure it´s correct.
Anyone else experienced this? In that case, what did you do to solve it?
Best regards

What kind of server are you installing on?
I've seen reports that having 2 Ethernet connections active during this phase of the installation causing trouble with serial numbers.
Maybe you could disconnect one Ethernet cable and try again?

Acrobat XI Invalid Serial Number After Failed Install

Hello,
We currently have Adobe Acrobat XI on an enterprise license. I went to install this on 3 of our Windows 7 tablets. Prior to my attempt, I removed Adobe Reader XI which is what I always do. After that I started the installer on the machine and entered the key just fine. All 3 tablets got stuck around 96-97% and failed with an error 1935. I then followed the instructions located here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/error-1935-install-acrobat-reader.html
Following a reboot, I tried to install again and now I am receiving the "Invalid Serial Number" error when trying to click "Next" on the installer. It won't even let me choose install trial and go. The next button does nothing when selecting trial. I tried running the offical Adobe Acrobat Cleaner and the Adobe CS6 cleaner (since Acrobat XI is part of CS6 technically). Both programs found items to delete but following a reboot I'm still receiving the same error. I also have other XI enterprise serials available and none of them work. I have a feeling something happened on the tablets that is causing the installer to think it's the wrong version or type for those serial numbers.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Invalid serial number error message when installing Acrobat 7

I have my original software CD and serial number but understand that I need to use the downloaded program because Adobe no longer supports the activation code required for installing from the disc. I was under the impression that I was to use the original serial number. This is what I used when reinstalling my CS2 Photoshop in the same circumstances.
I downloaded 22001904.exe and ran it but when it gets to the serial number I receive invalid serial number message no matter how I enter the number. I even tried cutting and pasting from my Adobe profile, since I have registered the program w/ Adobe previously along with other Adobe programs.
Can you advise me how to proceed?
Sincerely,
brokripananda

no, use the serial number listed on the page where you downloaded acrobat 7, not your acrobat serial number

Hi Everyone,
I was able to solve it myself and in way should have provided more information. I was installing the software under the local Admin which in my Domain does not have internet access through our Proxy.
Once I logged on with my Domain Admin and tried to install the software, it worked with out problems. I was not aware that the computer needed access to the Internet to verify the Serial Number.
Thank you all for your time and assistance.

I see that the number in my Adobe Account is a MAC serial number – I purchased both the Mac and Windows versions of the program. I tried to enter the serial number of the Windows version into my account and it says it’s already registered. But when I installed the Windows version on a Windows computer I got the invalid serial number message. They have two different serial numbers! Can you help me with this?
