Installing Photoshop CS5 on new Win8.1 - serial number not accepted. Help please!

Hello everybody,
I just wanted to install Photoshop CS5 on my Windows 8.1 64bit machine, which also happenes to be a new machine. The serial number provided in my Adobe account is not accepted by the installer! The information I could gather from the "support" area points me to a problem which is caused by not properly uninstalling the previous install, am I right? I did not know this. Also, I am no native speaker and feel a little lost on this.
Please help, I need to use my copy of PS CS5, thanks!

    You haven't mentioned which version of PSE. If it is PSE 13, that requires a minimum of windows 7.

  • Serial Number not accepted CS4

    I have a Macbook Air and tried to install CS4 Design Standard, but the downloaded installer does not accept my serial number (marked as invalid). I purchased the CS4 Design Standard (Education) in 2009. What can I do to install the CS 4 on my Mac that has no disc drive? Why is my serial number not accepted?
    Looking forward for help!
    Thanks.

  • Re installed photoshop CS5 onto new computer & now plug ins won't work?

    I recently bought a new computer & re-installed photoshop CS5.1 successfully, but can't get the plug ins to work (phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3, which were a free download with purchase). I am running windows 7 64bit. I copied & pasted them into the plug ins folder (in both applications of photoshop - there is the 32 bit version on 'program files (x86)' & the 64 bit version in 'program files'), but neither will work.

    You probably won't get those plugins to work by just copying them.
    I'd remove the plugins that you copied and pasted and use the phototools 2.5 & perfect effects 3 plugin installers, as they probably install some other files besides just the plugin itself.

    if that fails, what files(s) (name and extension) and file size(s) have you downloaded?

  • CS2 Premium serial number not accepted at use on Win 7 system

    I have at several years old version of the Creative Suite 2 Premium. It has been licensed on a Win XP system previously, but now I try to install it on my new Win 7 computer.
    But the "Personalize your software" - window will not accept the serial number that I can read on the product casette from the label named "SERIAL NUMBER CREATIVE SUITE PREM".
    Am pretty sure that it is entered correctly, and in fact the same serial number is accepted during installatin.
    Please advise....

    Hi Jeff,
    The request for the serial number comes when I start up InDesign, I have not tried the other programs.
    I enclose a screendump of the Serial number request and while I am at it a foto of the product case as well:

  • Re-installing Photoshop CS5 on new Macbook Air    Says license key is invalid.

    I am moving software from my MACBook Pro to a new MACBook Air and when I installed CS5 it told me that my license key is invalid.    Its a good license and I don't know why this message is coming up.
    Thoughts?
    Rick

    you need to double check the program/suite name that you purchased.
    you can check your account if you purhased from adobe, https://www.adobe.com/account.html
    otherwise, adobe support may be able to tell your product name given your serial number,

  • Installing Photoshop CS5 on  new PC

    I have a student edition of CS5 Extended. I have been running it on a linux ubuntu system with virtural box 32 bit only. I happy to announce I now have a new PC with windows 7 with an upgrade to windows 8 that I can purchase. I was wondering since I will now be able to use the 64 bit phpotoshop on my new system what is the precedure to get my serial number for my new PC? I do not know where I saved it. I still have the disk nd the boxWhen I install it tomorrow (Monday Oct 22) Also Should I upgrade to CS5.5?
    Thank you for your help
    Diana

    If you actually registered it with Adobe, it might be listed in the My Products section, which is nearby but not the same as My Orders.  It's worth a look.
    If you truly have lost your serial number utterly and completely, you may be out of luck, though I would certainly try calling Adobe customer support and appealing to them humbly. 
    It's really no different than losing a $100 bill.  Possession and protection of information can be just as important as with physical things.  Most folks make media backups of things they purchase and write the serial number et. al. down on the media or on the case.

  • How can I install Dreamweaver CS5.5 using my serial number? I only see the trial download for CS6.

    My company bought CS5.5 Creative Suite, and one of my coworkers used our license for Dreamweaver on his computer. Now he has left the company, and I would like to install the license on my computer so I can use it from my station.
    When we installed the software on his computer, we simply downloaded the trial version and then entered our serial number. However, now I can only find the download for CS6, and putting my serial number in there for CS5.5 does not magically download that version for me, unfortunately.
    Does anyone know how I can install the license on my computer? I thought it would be allowed to have it on two computers, just only one computer would be able to access the software at a time. I just need to figure out how to install it...

    I talked to Adobe staff, and apparently I needed to use the Adobe licensing website, licensing.adobe.com. I'll need to talk to my IT department, who bought the software, to get the account information for the site, but I'm on the way to success!

  • How to install photoshop without disk but with serial number

    Any ideas on how to install a permission of PS if I've lost the installation disk but do have the serial number?

    Hello Scotty,
    you should download a trial version e.g. there >>> http://www.adobe.com/downloads.edu.html >>> https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
    and change it after that in a "real" version.
    For elder versions come back please or use https://www.google.de/search?newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=adobe+download+photoshop+&oq=ad obe+download+photoshop+&gs_l=h….
