Is the serial number the same as the license key for Lightroom 5?

I have Adobe Lightroom 5 on my Mac and Lightroom works great. I want to do a clean install of OS X on the Mac. That means I will have to erase and reinstall Lightroom. I will need the license key for Lightroom. I couldn’t find anything that says License Key, but I do have the serial number of my copy of Lightroom. Is the serial number the same as the license key?

Yes.

Change the license key for BOXI3.1 after installation

Are there problems if i change the license key for BOXI3.1 after installation?
(Not performing a upgrade from trial version)
Or do i have to do a re-installation instead?

Hi,
Sure you can change the license key, without re-doing a complete install of BO XI. Just go to CMC->Lisence Keys, and add your new product key.
Then you 'll see bellow, the new information about u key (CPU/Date limitation).

I guess it is hardware key. Go to the Tcode slicense and there you will be able to find out the active hardware key. Take it!!

My shortcut keys on CS6 are gone. I get a message to reinstall CS6. I would rather not go through the hell of getting the license key for Adobe. Any options?

I get the message that my shortcut keys have gone missing.... And the message says to reinstall Photoshop CS6. I would rather burn my arms off than go through the hell of reinstall with Adobe's horrible licensing process. Please help me avoid this! I tried system restore on my Windows PC to no avail. Any solutions or downloads I might try?
Thanks for any help.
John

Not sure what you mean when you say "Adobe's horrible licensing process". If you have a valid license key code you type it in and you are done. The program, licensing system, checks that key against the online system and if it is valid and not installed on more than 2 computers at the same time you don't have to do anything else.
If the version of CS6 you are using is an Upgrade version then you will need to type in a valid license key from a qualified previous version. Again once that is done and it is checked against the online license system you are done.
As to your problem with the shortcut keys going away I "Think" that is a problem with your computer more than with Photoshop. Some how the file that holds the default and user edited keyboard shortcuts has become corrupted or you have somehow deleted it. If it became corrupted that is a Sure Sign you have a hardware problem. More than likely some type of hard drive problem, the drive might be on it's last legs, it is failing and will need to be replaced.
One thing I suggest you do from this point forward is make regular backups of your complete system. Like doing it every week if not more. That way when, NOT IF, you have similar problem you can restore your system from the most current backup. And if it is a hardware failure, like the drive going bad, you can restore your system to that state once the hardware problem is fixed.
If you do have a hardware problem, like the hard drive is dying, reinstalling PS won't stop it from happening again.

B&H in NYC still selling CS6 Extended for students. Is this legit? Will Adobe still provide the license keys for download?

If I purchase Photoshop CS6 Extended (student edition) from B&H website, will I receive the Adobe license keys? I tried this at another university bookstore locally and could not make this work. Got the impression Adobe is no longer providing keys to download this package. Help please.

Sounds legit.
Adobe still sells it

Is it possible to activate LR5 on a second (privately owned) computer and where do I have to enter the license key?

is it possible to activate LR5 on a second (privately owned) computer and where do I have to enter the license key?

Lightroom doesn't use activation. The EULA allows you to install Lightroom on two computers, one a desktop the other a laptop. To apply the serial number you go to the Help menu then choose Lightroom Registration.

your license key is on BIOS, you don't need it if you want to re-install windows since it will be read automatically. if you still want to know your key:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Where do you find the license keys?

Hello,
I need to find the license keys for Dreamweaver installed on my users computers. Can you point me in the right direction? I looked in help- About Dreamweaver. I retrieved the credit list.
These are CS6 licenses not Creative Cloud.
Thanks,
Tammy

I logged in and viewed all registered products. We've uninstalled these license as employees have left and installed them on new employee work stations. I am trying to find out if we can see the license key on the end user's work station. It's a reconciliation project as we need to track the license keys more closely.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi, I would like to install my Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard - I got the serial number and disk, but you are asking for another product and serial number that I dont have? What should I do?

The serial number that you might have is an upgrade version & it will be asking for a previous qualifying version serial number.
The issue can be different too, please contact Adobe Support for resolution: http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

Hi! I had purchased Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Full - English - Multiple Platforms - Download. Had received a serial number to activate my license. I am nott able to update this to the latest version. Tried entering the license key which I had received for LR5. does not work with LR6

Your serial number is for version 5 and not for Lightroom 6. If will install LR 6 you have to buy a update and the you get a new serial number.

I have PSE7 on my old computer and I have the license key (but not the serial number). Cannot register it on my new computer - I get a message saying that number is invalid. What can I do?

It does not magically appear in a new place. It will only be where you put it.
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

Computer crashed, had to move programs to new hard drive, now Lightroom wants a serial number to open and I can only find the license key I was given upon purchasing it.

My computer crashed and now when I try to open Lightroom it's asking me for a serial number. I purchased this program off of Amazon and I can only find the License Key # in the e-mails they sent me. How can I retrieve my serial number?

Is the serial number the same as the license key for Lightroom 5?
