Invalid Serial number?! so now I can't talk to apple support?!

i read the serial number on the back of my airport extreme. have triple checked it so it is right. i can't go to apple support because it says it isn't a valid serial number?!
i need to open 2 ports and thought i had done it correctly but i guess not. need help.
we have a server in our office that hosts our database. we need to connect to that remotely and am told by the database software company it can be done. is that consider personal file sharing? what service is that, and/or does it matter?

Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

Digivox mini II (v3.0) invalid serial number in TotalMedia 3

Hello
I have a problem installing the TotalMedia 3 software. I found the sticker on the box with the S/N but the serial doesn't work. I've tried it with and without hyphens and capital letters too but I always get the "invalid serial number"-message. What can I do?
Hardware drivers seemed to install properly, although I found this "Microsoft ISATAP Adapter" in device manager with the message "This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)". I am not sure if this has appeared before or after the installing of the Digivox-device.
I can't test if the device works because I can't install the software.
I use 64bit Vista Ultimate, SP1, DX10
I installed this driver: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=1262
The description says that the drivers should work in 64-bit vista but the name of the file says only 32bit.

This is the wrong number. You should have a CD sleeve with ArcSoft TotalMedia Software, there is a sticker with a Licence key number you should use.

How to fix invalid serial number on adobe product?

Purchased Creative Suite 6 Design Standard discs. Reistered product, got serial number, inserted discs, rejected for invalid serial number.
Have double checked everything.
Called Customer Support - couldn't help.
Online chat, told me they were technical problems and to try again in 7 hours.
Try what in 7 hours? I can't register again. It won't install, the number gets rejected as invalid.
Can Abode help me clear this up?

Hi there,
If the serial number is correct, please copy the files from the disk to your local computer and then run those files. It should fix the problem,
If still faces the problem then manually download the product from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html and then try installation.
Also refer to this link if all of the above doesn't work http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-valid-product.html

I am changing laptops and have tried to download and install Acobat 9 Standard from the Adobe website, but get message that my serial number is invalid. I log in and double check my account and it shows as a valid serial number. Now what?

If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine. YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

Invalid Serial number error given when reinstalling Acrobat 9 Standard. How can I reinstall?

I recently reinstalled Windows7 on my PC and am trying to reinstall Acrobat from the disk that came with my PC. I have the serial number from the Adobe product registration page. I am receiving the error "Invalid Serial Number". I checked for any remnant files in my PC and the registry, there are none. How can I get this install to run?

Just talked with Chat. I will post the transcript. What a waste of time.

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?

Old computer died, can't activate Lightroom on new computer. Invalid serial number error.

My old computer fried. Obviously, didn't deactivate Lightroom. Installed Lightroom on new computer but can't activate... getting invalid serial number error. Trying to get thru to Adobe is a joke. Help.

Most likely, you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom which will not accept your serial number. You need to uninstall it, reboot, then download the standalone version of Lightroom and install that.

I lost my logic 8 pro serial number. I can't find the booklet that comes with the serial number. How can retrieve this? I upgraded from logic pro 7. I changed hard drives and now it keeps asking for the serial number. But I can't find it. Where can I request it? Thanks!

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

How can Adobe Acrobat have an invalid serial number, but yet still be able to successfully install?

(with the invalid serial number causing it to not be able to be registered with Adobe Systems, Inc.)
Adobe Systems says the serial number is invalid, but the product successfully installed as normal with no errors.
If the serial number is invalid, shouldn't the installation have terminated and stated that the serial number is invalid?

Hi caseyclaassen,
Acrobat would continue the installation even without serial key but then it will be good only for 30 days.
After the trial poeriod is over, it will prompt you to enter a valid serial number to continue using it.
If you have purchased a valid serial number and still getiing this error, you might want to refer to the KB Doc : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-invalid-serial-number-acrobat.html

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.

Hi Rosa,
I would like to check the issue at your end.
Can you please provide me the contact details at [email protected] so that we can discuss this on call.

Photoshop CS2- Invalid Serial Number

I am installing my Adobe Photoshop CS2 on Windows Vista.
When I try to install the program after entering my serial number that is on the CD case,
the program states "Invalid Serial Number."
Customer Service gave me new serial numbers to attempt at fixing this issue and those numbers still yielded an "Invalid Serial Number" error.
Tech Support had me create new accounts with admin rights on my laptop (which didn't work) and then gave me a link
about the issue that had nothing to do with me since I have no VCOM software on my laptop (so that too was bogus).
I requested to speak to a manager where the agent diverted with giving me solutions that did not work also in which
he had me use this registry cleaner software and it still didn't work (I didn't have previous adobe software on my computer,
so it wasn't a surprise that it didn't work)
So... Does anyone know how I can install my program on my laptop without getting an Invalid Serial Number error?????
Maybe regular users have some answers.

I've only had similar happen once, when I upgraded AI over about 3-4 versions. My S/N was from the first PC release, and the internal database in the upgrade did not recognize the format, or the S/N. In that case, a 5 min. call to C/S resulted in a number to enter from Adobe, and then it took my S/N fine.
Obviously, you've gone that route, and it's not working. Seems that things have changed with C/S, but I am talking over a decade ago. Are you talking to C/S (Customer Service), or T/S (Technical Service)? For "sales" related things, I have found that C/S is the better. I am assuming that they are still separate departments, though both might well be in India.
Now, one question, you say that C/S told you to run on one machine with "administrative rights." Did you try as an Administrator? These are similar, but there can be differences.
Wish I had something else to offer.
Good luck,
Hunt

Invalid Serial Number after reboot?

I just rebooted a server and when it came back ARD was off, along with a bunch of other services that were supposed to start at boot. Under the serial number in Server Admin it had the text (in red): "invalid serial number serial number already registered". I got it to take the serial number by setting it using "/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber <serial>". I want to just reboot again to make sure everything starts up okay, but I want to figure out why this happened first.
The server is a G5 Xserve that had Panther on it. I upgraded to Tiger last week. While upgrading I got the same message after a reboot but just assumed I had unintentionally reused a serial number. I grabbed a brand new unopened Tiger Server OS box and used that serial, so I know the serial is not in use anywhere on site. Can anyone tell me how the OS checks the serial, and maybe supply me with a clue as to why this happened? The only changes to the server I have made were the installation from source of Apache 2.2.0, PHP 5.1.2, Subversion 1.3.0, and MySQL 5.0.18 from an installer package. All were installed into /usr/local/.
15" Al PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I'm having the same problem. I did not start with a 10.3 server - this is a fresh install. But I built one server and then cloned the drive to several others and replaced the hostnames, IPs and serials. Now one constantly comes up with an invalid serial number on reboot.

Invalid Serial number?! so now I can't talk to apple support?!
