Invalid serial number when upgrading to Aperture 2

I purchased aperture 2 upgrade version and I tried all afternoon to install it. There was no problem inputing the serial number that comes with the DVD. I didn't have my serial number for 1.5 so I opened Aperture 1.5 and look up the original serial number. It kept telling me that I have an invalid serial number for the original version. I can't install the upgrade. What do I do?

Is your original version an educational one? What you have reported sounds like what happened to me.
There is no upgrade for the educational version. You must purchase a new 2.0 version. (You must read the small print at the bottom of the Aperture ad to find this out.) (it's as though it's a secret.)

If it was an upgrade version, it may be you are being asked for the qualifying product S/N and are entering the new S/N instead. That would cause a problem.

I am trying to install premier elements 11 that I purchased back in 2012 on a new machine with 8.1. I get "invalid serial number" when I enter the serial number I received with the original activation e-mail when I purchased the product, thanks!

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

I wonder if this is related to the previous version issue with Acrobat 8 that displayed the same or similar error?
Here is the text from a very old document for Acrobat 8 KB if you want to try it but I don't know if it will work
Error: "You have entered an invalid serial number..." when you try to launch Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer
Issue
When you try to launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer, the program returns the error message, "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and enter a valid serial number when asked."
Solution
Check the alm_config_files folder for a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file.
Navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\alm_config_files
The following two files should appear in this folder:
AdobeConfig.xml
AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf
Delete the AdobeConfig.xml file.
Rename the AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf to AdobeConfig.xml by deleting the "aiwbf" suffix.
Launch Acrobat 8 Standard.
Additional Information
On some Dell computers, a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file is created when Acrobat 8 Standard is installed. The AdobeConfig.xml file without the "aiwbf" suffix is written for a volume-license version. The correct AdobeConfig.xml file is given the suffix. When a retail version of Acrobat tries to read the volume-license AdobeConfig.xml file, Acrobat returns the error.

Invalid serial number when I re install premiere elements 10

I am getting a message that I have a invalid serial number when I try to re install premiere elements 10. It is the correct number fropm the box.

That happened to me trying to install Photoshop Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit. In all my years of working with these programs, that was the first time that ever happened. Is your Premiere Elements 10 on Windows or Mac. I think that i remember some Mac issues in this regard.
Activation problems can only be corrected by Adobe, and John T. Smith's second link in post 1 can help you with that.
But, before you seek Adobe Chat, shut down the computer and try the installation again.
I was about to contact Adobe Chat, when the second or third time around, the serial number took. Servers issues??? Never did find out. And, I was not typing in the wrong numbers.
As an aside, if you have Premiere Elements 10 and NVIDIA video card, please let us know if you experience any unexplained display issues. There is an epidemic of such going around. The fix, for now, is to roll back the video card drive version. More on that as indicated.
Please update us on your progress.
Thanks.

Invalid Serial number during upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5

I upgraded our Xserve from 10.4.11 to 10.5 and when it first boots after the install, I get to the enter serial number screen. At this point the 10.5 serial number I enter goes through validating and then says invalid serial number format. I have several serial numbers I have tried so I know that a wrong serial is not the cause. I have tried connecting from another computer with server admin and changing the serial number that way, which when, I do shows the 10.4 serial number but then says invalid serial when entering the 10.5 serial. It seems like it is confused on what the serial number or format should be. Is there a way to manually install a serial number or at least get past it so I can then install the most recent update and hope that fixes this issue? I see there were some similar issues with the 10.5.8 update but I think the install dvd is only 10.5 or 10.5.1 maybe.

Well I finally got past it by ssh'ing into the server while it was at the serial number page and issuing it this command and specifying my serial number
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xsvr-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
I then rebooted the server and it came back to the same enter serial number screen but upon entering it one more time, it validated and is happy now.

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:
[Startup]
RequireOS=Windows 2000;Windows XP
RequireMSI=3.0
RequireIE=6.0.2600.0
CmdLine=/sall /rs
[Product]
msi=AcroPro.msi
Languages=1033;1031;1036
1033=English (United States)
1031=German (Germany)
1036=French (France)
CmdLine=TRANSFORMS="AcroPro.mst"
[Windows 2000]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
ServicePackMajor=4
[Windows XP]
PlatformID=2
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
ServicePackMajor=2
[MSI Updater]
Path=WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe
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.

I receive an invalid serial number when installing Photoshop CS6

I have purchased cs6 but says invalid serial number when asked to enter

I bought a hard copy of cs6 but dont have a dvd drive on my macbookpro. So when I go to install the trial version and enter a valid serial number, it says that it is invalid? What do I have to do to install this photoshop!!!

It is perfectly fine to download the trial versiona nd then enter the serial number from the purchased box. The Serial number will be written on the back of the disc case. See http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
Is your purchase a direct purchase from adobe.com, or did you buy through a reseller?
Is the boxedpfroduct you purchased, for Mac or Windows. It'l be mentioned on the box, disc, and the order.
Also, is this a fresh purchase or are you upgrading from a previous version? If you're upgrading, then the installer will also prompt you to enter the serial number for the qualifying version.
Please provide some more details and then folks can have enough information to help you.

Invalid Serial Number when it's authentic and tied to my account (Adobe Acrobat XI Pro)

I have an authentic version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. Everything was working fine and then out of the blue the program starts asking me for a serial number.
When I enter the serial number that came with the purchase, the error message says "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again with a valid serial number. If the problem persists contact customer support."
Can somebody help?

I spent exactly 57 minutes on the phone with customer support yesterday, and after moving the SLStore file (license keys folder) and the software cache around, re-entering the serial keys, the program still returns an invalid serial key message.
The ticket has been elevated and I'm supposed to get a call from Sr. tech support within 24 hours.
It's been 23 hours and nada... very disappointing.
