Install OS Updates, then FCP asks for serial number.

Since i'm the one who originally installed and entered the serial number and have projects saved, Im wondering if I can somehow get beyond the box that prompts for my name and serial number. Why is FCP so ignorant to software updates? How do they not know that sometimes software updates occur? . i did not install a new OS system, I just selected the option to install and restart when computer told me to. I'm out of the country working and those materials are back home.
How do i get by this? I don't want to hear that I need the serial number in order to open the program. It has to be logged or saved somewhere where i can retrieve it since I've been opening it everyday for months. Please help ASAP.

  • FCP asks for serial number after OSX 10.5.4 install.

    We're using a dual PPC desktop Mac with FC Pro. Under OSX 10.3.9, worked fine. Installed OSX 10.5.4 and now, every time we open FCPro, it asks for a serial number as though it was just installed.
    How can we stop this happening?

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.

  • Cc lightroom trouble asking for serial number

    I purchased the cc photography package. I was able to download and open Photoshop but unable to open lightroom. It ask for a serial number. I tried the trouble shooting tips still having trouble.

    Hi Kirstygem,
    If the above mentioned steps have not helped , can you please try the below mentioned article. Although its for LR3 but its still effective for the newer version .

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

    Ask for serial number http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ccm-prompt-serial-number.html
    Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
    If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?
    https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page
    If yes
    Some general information for a Cloud subscription
    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work
    Log out of your Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account
