IWorks 09 now asking for Serial No.......

Hi,
I have been happily using iWorks '09 for several years on my imac running OS 10.5.8. The other day Numbers asked me to purchase a Serial Number as my Trial period had ran out!!!
As I had purchased iWorks online from Apple I have no physical DVD to reinstall and I cannot find an email from Apple with my Serial Number details on...
Because I need it immediately I went to purchase it again but now it's iWorks 13 and this won't run on my older mac....
Any ideas greatly appreciated
Regards,
Si

Hi Si,
Your Profile shows OS X 10.5.8. Is this correct? Menu > Apple > About This Mac.
I am using OS X 10.9.2, so this advice may be completely wrong.
Do you have System Preferences > App Store > Automatic Updates turned on? If so, the App Store may have automatically installed a new OS X version and possibly Numbers 13 (Numbers 3.x).
Look in your Applications folder (or use Spotlight) to search for Numbers. The latest version is Numbers 3.1 and it may be in your Applications folder.
Look for Numbers '09 in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder.
If you have Numbers '09, it (may) run just as well as it used to. Drag the icon to your Dock (is there such a thing as a Dock in your OS X?) and right click > Options > Keep in Dock. Launch Numbers from there.
Call back with questions.
Regards,
Ian.

  • Aperture now asks for serial number after last update but app store doesn't provide one. What to do?

    After my latest update Aperture now asks for a serial number.
    This is a little strange as when you buy it from the app store you don't get one.
    Well not one you can see.
    So now can't use it. 
    What am I supposed to do?

  • Update from 4.0 to 4.1, now asking for Serial Number again????

    Am I going to have to go find the registration card every single time I accept a Final Cut Express update from Apple? This has never happened in any other software from Apple until now.
    Please help me understand why this is happening???

    I just did the normal Software Update (the blinking icon on the toolbar). I updated at least five or six items (such as iTunes and iPhoto), and none but Final Cut Express 4 is asking me for my old serial number. (digging through old manuals, etc.)

  • Downloaded aperture update from app store now asking for serial number

    Hello.
    I downloaded the update thought The App store yesturday for Aperture 3, Now it is asking me for a Serial Number to use the softwear. anyone know what is going on? and how to find the serial Number (it says to find it on my packaging but its from the appstore i dont have packaging)
    Thanks for your Help
    Rich

    I am having the same problems and have purchased Aperture 3 in June and gone through two upgrades and then the latest cloud upgrade which may be the second or 3rd upgrade wants me to put a non existant serial number and I purchased off the app store?
    Dont tell me that I have to delete and download again. I dont have time for all that again and again.
    Does anybody know a workaround.
    Is there a software link in the UK to complain to Apple Support about this issue as it is time wasting and seems that Apple does not give a stuff about customer support outside of the USA?!!

  • Creative Suite 6 now asking for serial number after minor updates

    I bought the full version of Creative Suite 6 on release.
    Just recently after installing some (but in typical Adobe fashion not all) updates, apps from the suite start up by saying that I am in a 30 day trial!
    I have to then press the license button and reenter my serial number.
    This never happened prior to the last few weeks.
    I tried asking about it on the online chat since Adobe's phone lines are jammed.
    This was very much like talking to a wall.
    Is this happening to anyone else?
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Yep, me too - there's a thread about this here too...

    2 out of our 4 iMacs running CS6 are reverting to trial status every morning - despite saying it's accepted the serial number properly, up it pops the next day again! Doesn't just affect Photoshop CS6, we had the same message after launching Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 too. Must be one of these updates that popped up last week, I do wish Adobe tested these things properly before rolling them out to paying customers!!
    SORT IT OUT, ADOBE!!!

  • Purchased and registered lightroom, now asking for serial number on startup

    I purchased Adobe Lightroom 3 several weeks ago, and have used it without hassle since. However, today when I tried to use it, it told me I had four days left on my trial period and prompted me to enter or buy a serial number. Why is this happening when I already entered the serial code when I first bought it, and why can't I find my serial number in my purchases to re-enter it?

    Hi,
    Please get in touch with our support team for help in retrieving your serial number:
    Contact Adobe Support
    On the support page, select "I cant find my serial number" in the first dropdown menu.
    In the second dropdown, select "My product isn't registered.."
    You will then have an option to chat with a support representative. You can also call support by using the phone numbers mentioned on this page.
    Thanks

    We have Design Premium installed on two Macs

    We're not sure which of our two registered versions is on which machine but have tried both to no avail.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • 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.

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

  • I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number, where can I find this?  Thanks.

    I downloaded Aperture 3 from the App Store one year ago, it now asks for a serial number before I can open it, where can I find this?  Thanks.

    Hi...
    Since it's been a year since you download the app, delete the app then re download.
    Best to use a utility that will not only remove the app but all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    Then redownload:
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

  • Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

    I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello there,
    Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
    I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
    I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
    I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
    Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Pierre
    PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.
