Issue activating CS 5.5 Design Premium. Serial Number Not Valid but has been used for 4 years.

I have just deactivated CS 5.5 on my old iMac, when i try to use the same serial number when installing it on my new Mac it tells me that 'the serial number is not valid for this product'. Any ideas?

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

  • CS4 Design Premium serial number not accepted?

    We are trying to move an installation of CS4 Design Premium between computers in our organisation.
    It has been successfully unregistered and uninstalled from the original old computer, but we are unable to successfully install it to the new computer.
    If we select the English (International) language upon install, the installation fails, citing missing components in the application directory.
    If we select English (US) upon install, the installation succeeds but we are unable to enter the provided serial number of the boxed install media - even though it is definitely the correct serial number.
    Has anyone else ever seen this odd behaviour and found a way past it?

    I haven't seen that strange behavior, but you can chat online with someone from India about it: Adobe Connect Chat Support

  • CS6 Design Standard Serial Number is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found...?

    I am attempting to reinstall CS6 Design Standard after a computer upgrade, however the Application Manager won't take my serial number.  In particular, when I enter the serial number, I receive the following error message:
    Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer.
    When I enter the serial number for one of the products that should be eligible for the upgrade, I receive the error message:
    This serial number is not for a qualifying product.  Please try another.
    I've attempted this on a couple of machines with the same result.  I've also attempted to install CS6 Design Standard after installing numerous other products: CS5 Design Premium, CS5 Design Standard, CS3 Design Standard... and none of these were found as qualifying products.
    I'm attempting this on OS X 10.9.3, on numerous MacBook Pro configurations from the past four years.  It is plugged into the network, and the connection is active.  I haven't seen anything in Console that is related.
    Is there someone from Adobe that I can contact to get verification of this Serial Number, and what product it would be attached to?
    Thanks,
    shane.

    The Serial Number you have is a upgrade Serial Number from a older version.
    So when you try to install, you have to insert the Serial Number for CS6 Design Standard and on the next screen, you need to choose the old product from drop down list and enter the Serial Number for that.
    It is not necessary to install the old application before installing CS6 Design Standard , all you need is the Serial Number for the old version.
    If still you have issue, you can contact the support as mentioned by Steve.

  • Moving upgrade version of CS 5.5 Design Premium to new computer with valid serial number but cannot find original CS 4 Design Premium serial number so will not accept

    I am trying to move a fully licensed/registered version of Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium to a new computer, but since it was an upgrade from CS 4 Design Premium the installer says that it cannot find the software that allows it to be an upgrade. I have the old computer and still see the CS 4 installed, but cannot locate the Design Premium serial number. I do not have the original DVD or box for the CS 4 but have all for the CS 5.5.

    If you sign in to your Adobe account online you might be able to find the serial number for your CS4 installation.
    To locate the serial number:

  • 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?

    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

  • Serial Number Not Valid 2nd Install CS5.5

    I'm trying to download CS5.5 Design Standard Student and Teacher on my Windows 8.1 machine and receive a "Serial Number Not Valid" notification. I have already downloaded the product on my Macbook Pro a few years ago, but was under the impression I was allowed to download it on 2 computers. Anything I can do???

    the serial number for a mac installation is not the same as for a windows installation.  and, in fact, cs5.5 is not a dual  platform product so you cannot install it on a windows machine unless you have a windows license/serial number.
    you could upgrade to creative cloud.  the subscription apps (cs6, cc and cc 2014) are all dual platform.

    I bought acrobat adobe professtional version II in 2012.  Now I re-download this software to my new computer.  All info was downloaded.  But when I opened the file, I need to verify the serial number.  I entered.  But it showed up that the serial number is valid, but the qualifying product could not be found.  I could not be able to find Ver 11 from the list.  What can I do?

    The qualifying product is the older version that you owned before you purchased the upgrade to version.  It is what qualifies you to use the less expensive upgrade version.  So you need to select the older version and provide its serial number to prove that you qualify for using the upgrade.

  • Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

    J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

    Bonjour.
    J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
    n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
    Que faut-il faire

  • Logic 9 Serial Number Not Valid

    I recently backed up my computer and did a complete OS reinstall (starting from stratch and not using the old image due to old corruption files). I then decided to manualy copy over Logic Pro 9 files from the backup drive to the new image. I went to open Logic and it asked for my serial number. I typed it in and then it decided to crash on me. Well no big deal, I probably didn't copy all the files. So I deleted as many files as I could find and then proceded to reinstalling Logic 9 from my Logic Studio disc set. Entered name and the serial key during the beggining of the install and it says "Serial Number Not Valid" and asked me to type it again and gives me the same message. After 3 failed attempts, it closes the installation program. I have tripple checked my spelling in the key and have checked forums regarding this problem. I have already attempted to move the ID files in Library/Application Support/ProApps to the desktop; no change. Any input would be nice. Thank you.
    I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a MacBook pro 2012.

    Was your copy of Logic Studio 2.0 (the one containing LP9) a full version  or an upgrade version?
    If it was an upgrade version you need to enter your original LP8 serial first.... and then it will ask for your LP9 upgrade serial...
    If it was the full version, contact Apple directly and ask for their assistance.
    http://www.apple.com/contact/
    or use the online webpage to obtain a replacement serial number...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Note: Once you have successfully installed LP9.. you must upgrade LP9 to the latest version 9.1.8 before you run it, via software updates... as you are running Mavericks...

  • Serial Number is valid but product cannot be idetified

    I have installed Adobe X1 on my notebook
    the message states that the serial number is valid but cannot locate the correct product
    the drop down bix does not show Adobe X1
    I cannot get the Adobe X1 to open
    I also have the Adobe reader on the notebook - do i need to uninstall that program
    Please note I have 2 serial numbers as i akso bought the same product for my home PC
    How can I get the Adobe X1 to open

    You likely have the upgrade version and you need to provide the serial number for the qualifying upgrade product. For Acrobat, that goes back to AA 9. So you need 2 SNs for the installation, the old vesion SN and the SN for AA XI.

    It seems as if you have purchased the upgrade version of Acrobat 11.
    The Enter Serial Number Upgrade screen accepts only the serial number of a previous version of the product that you are currently installing.
    If in case you do not have any previous version of Acrobat then it will be considered as incorrect purchase. You should have purchased a full version of Acrobat.
    Thanks!

    When I try to launch the product, it says the Serial Number is valid but a qualifying product couldnt be found on the computer..same error others are reporting,  I  have been waiting for over 1 month and have not been able to get an anwer .  

    You purchased the upgrade version and the serial number of the qualifying product is needed to complete the install. If it can not find a qualifying product installed on the machine, it should be asking you for the SN of that product, not the SN of the new install.
