IWork install asking for serial number even though installed from disc set

Ok so two days ago I bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy. It was one of those open package deals. Anyhow the MacBook was missing the software. I decided it might be a good idea to buy the Mac Box Set at the local Apple Store because I might need the OS disc at some point and I thought why not upgrade my iMac while I'm at it. So I went to an Apple Store and bought the Mac Box Set
I install Snow Leopard. I then install iLife. Lastly I install iWork. Sort of. Seems the first two are fine but when I click to open any of the iWork apps it ask for me to insert a serial number. I did a search and discovered there was a trial version of iWork 08 on here so I deleted it and the current instal. The reinstalled. Still same issue.
What should I do if it is still asking for a serial number?
And just incase anyone is wondering if I have the disk....

Good, there are many answered threads to your specific question.

  • DVD St. Pro won't stop asking for serial number even after I've entered it.

    Hey everyone,
    I just bought a new copy of Final Cut Studio 2, and I've installed everything. I've noticed, though, that DVD Studio Pro keeps asking me to enter the serial number upon startup even though I have already entered it multiple times. Any ideas?

  • Photoshop asks for serial number even when I sign in with my Adobe ID

    I have a Creative Cloud membership and I have installed Photoshop and Illustrator. Illustrator works fine, but when I run Photoshop it asks me to license the software. I sign in with my Adobe ID, but then it tells me to enter a serial number. I've tried reinstalling etc, it does not help.

    Having International English-only as an option is a business/legal requirement for Europe.
    I understand the frustration but it is difficult. If you sign up as a Free Trial user (so you have not yet paid for International English) which language should we default to? We default to the language of the operating system. Perhaps not perfect but a choice is made. And this works over 99% of the time, except for multi-lingual users whose OS is not set to English and choose International English-only. And yes I empathize as someone who can work fluently on both English and Japanese systems.

  • Lightroom 5.7 just installed, asking for serial number, not listed in online account info

    My online account info shows serial numbers for versions 2,3, and 4 of Lightroom, but not 5.  I've been using 5.2 for about a year, since I signed up for the cc photography bundle.  My cc desktop app shows only PS cc and PS 2014 installed.  How can I get a valid serial number to activate the LR 5.7 I just installed as an update?

    I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
    I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
    Please, anyone have any ideas?

  • Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to install acrobat 9, i get a message invalid serial number, even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

    there is a lot of info at that link.  by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
    ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.

  • Lightroom for CC asks for serial number

    I've purchased Lightroom separately for years. Even after buy into Creative Cloud, I maintained a separate Lightroom account/serial number. We use both Macs and PCs in my studio, but I prefer using Lightroom on my PC desktop and my notebook. For a project that just came up, I needed additional collaboration and downloaded and installed Lightroom from the Creative Cloud App on the Mac. Lightroom IS ASKING FOR A SERIAL NUMBER even though it is a separate install, one that should be tied to Creative Cloud, NOT my standalone product.
    Can anyone give me correct information to resolve this? I find Adobe, for such a large corporation, to have THE WORST tech support of ANY company I have dealt with. Microsoft and Apple put Adobe to shame. There seems to be no way I can contact anyone to resolve this, so i hope to find the answer on the forum.
    Thanks.

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
