Just bought CC, LR5 won't accept new CC serial number

I just purchased CC and downloaded LR5 but it won't accept my new CC serial number, and will only let me continue with the trial version of the software. Help?
I am also encountering a Download Error warning under the Apps tab on Creative Cloud desktop. Hitting the "reload applications" button just re-loads the error message.
I am on a Mac 10.8.3.
Thank you!

Thanks Dave, that had been my understanding too, but then in trying to resolve the Download Error problem I had come across something that suggested I might need a serial number. I'll ignore that and focus on the Download Error! I guess I'd better post that in a new thread though unless you have any ideas about that? I tried downloading and installing LR5 from the Adobe site itself instead of through CC desktop but that didn't help: the first time I tried to open LR5 it said it had to be opened by AAM, which then produced the Download Error message again. The second time I attempted to open the software (and every attempt since) it asks me for a serial number. A computer restart hasn't helped.

    Was the FCS on your old machine an upgrade? You will need to enter your original, full version serial first, and then you will be prompted for the upgrade serial number.
    Hope this helps.

  • Aperture2 Upgrade won't accept 1.0 serial number

    Aperture2 Upgrade won't accept 1.0 serial number. I've reentered it twice. I'm reading it directly from the original papers.

    I had a similar experience and called Apple Tech Support. After spending 20 min on hold, I was told the Aperture 1.0 serial number was "fragged for abuse" and was tagged as invalid by Apple and that I could not upgrade. This is despite being able to register it when it was bought off Ebay 15 months ago and downloading all software updates thru 1.5.6 and using it for 15 months without a problem.
    When I asked about getting a refund for the Aperture 2.0 Upgrade which would not install I spent 45 minutes getting the runaround from four separate "customer service" representatives. This included several, "I have to talk to my supervisor" moments, being bumped back to the initial telephone menu by one rep who could not connect me to someone who could help, and lots more hold time.
    Eventually I was given a return authorization for the "Upgrade" and will get a refund on my $99 purchase. Initially they wanted to order the Full Aperture 2.0 Program for me and not refund my upgrade purchase, which meant I would pay $298 to run Aperture 2.0! I like Aperture, but not that much!!
    My advice is to call tech support and give them the Aperture 1.0 serial number and see what they say when they run it through their system. If you purchased it from Apple you will probably be given another serial number to use to activate the upgrade, otherwise, like me you might be SOL.
    One other piece of advice: backup your current Aperture Library BEFORE you install 2.0. I went to the local Apple Store, bought the full 2.0 Upgrade program (smiling the entire time, of course) and had the "creative", who I had an Aperture one-on-one appointment, with, install it, thinking he would know how to do it better than me. Wrong! He did not backup the library before installing it and the new program crashed each time as it was trying to load the old library. I eventually brought it home--unworking--deleted the old library on the hard drive and had to import the project files from backup DVD's I had burned.
    Good luck and I hope you have an easier time than I did today trying to make Aperture 2.0 work...

  • Upgrade from CS3 to CS5 - won't accept my CS3 serial number

    I own a copy of Fireworks CS3, and I purchased an upgrade copy of CS5 for my new Windows 7 computer. When I go to upgrade and enter the serial number (checked very carefully) from my CS3 package, the system says the number isn't valid. Not sure what to do. . . Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Well, as you might have guessed, this was user error. Sorry. Just in a rush and not paying attention.

  • Final Cut Pro 5 upgrade won't accept full product serial number

    Just got FC Pro 5 upgrade and I am trying to install on top of FC Express Retail. I bought FCE at the apple store, so it's full retail.
    The installer first asks for the FCP s/n, then I get a pop that says I've entered an upgrade serial number and will need to enter the full product serial number. When I type in the FCE s/n, the OK button stays dimmed.
    Any advice? Apple's closed today.
    Thanks!

    Which upgrade did you get? The $399 version or $699 version? Only the $699 version upgrades FCE.

  • I am trying to re-install Adobe InDesign CS2 and having problems. It won't accept my old serial number, and while in the instructions it says it will give a new serial number I can't find that.

    I know CS2 is old, but that is all I have.

    Directions to find it are on the page with the installation instructions.
    Locate the language and application you want to install and note its serial number (located to the right of the download links). The serial number is required during installation. 
    Note:The serial numbers included with your original CS2 applications do not work with these CS2 application versions.

  • Apple won't accept my FCP serial number

    I am just trying to update software. I am having huge export issues. I am using 5.1.4 & 10.5.5 I am also thinking they may not like each other.
    Anyone know why this might be. I have entered it correctly
    TIA

    Thanks David.
    I am using compressor just now so that I can tell you what the error message is. But basically it just never finishes the job.
    When I try to export using QT conversion a few things happen...
    When I choose QT sometimes the end export is just a green movie, seriously.
    Sometimes the aspect ratio is wrong.
    When I choose to export as flash, FCP sometimes goes App not responding, or it finishes and then the final export only(in this one case) has 30 seconds of a 7 min piece.
    Admittedly, I am not an expert editor. I am a one woman show here so I know a little about a lot. Thanks for your help.

  • I just bought Photoshop Cs6 Trying to install with the serial number and it is invalid

    what must i do

    You really need to talk with the seller.
    In general I'd suggest only buying Photoshop from Adobe directly.

  • IPod Nano won't accept new songs

    When I try to add new songs to my iPod Nano in iTunes it LOOKS like they get added. I can see them on the iPod, both at the top-level and in whatever playlist I put them in, and I can even PLAY them from the iPod in iTunes.
    But once I disconnect the iPod from the PC they're gone from the iPod - they're not in Songs or in any playlist. The only sign that I did anything is that Info shows the amount free space decremented by the size of the songs. So they're taking up space on the iPod but they're not visible.
    If I reconnect the iPod to iTunes it doesn't show them either (and it fixes the available space discrepancy, too).
    FWIW I currently have 291MB of free space, and 314 songs on my 2GB iPod Nano, PC is Win XP.
    Thanks in advance!

    > I'm sorry that there doesnt seem to be a better
    solution unless the post above applies :)
    Reloading the the songs seems like reloading the whole OS on a PC just because one DLL or Registry entry is bad or replacing a car engine because of a blown head gasket.
    Right now I have an Ipod with lots of songs on it that plays just fine. It just won't accept new songs. What if I dump everything to my PC, blow-everything-away, and try to reload it and it won't load ANY SONGS? I'm 4000 miles from home, so then I'm really stuck, with no tunes! From an engineering standpoint this approach just doesn't make sense to me. This is my first Apple product - are they all like this (i.e., if something acts up start over from scratch)?
    When I have my iPod connectd to my PC I can see all kinds of system files in iPod_Control\Device. Aren't there any diagnostics we can run on those to simply solve the problem?

  • I just bought a C4680 all-in-one new in box. It puts an irregular border around "borderless" prints

    I just bought a C4680 all-in-one new in box.  It puts an irregular border around "borderless" prints (at least in 8.5 x ll size) --border is about 1 inch on right, 3/4 at top, 3/8 at bottom and 3/16 at left.  How do I eliminate this?
      Using win XP.

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

  • HT2101 My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    My iPad won't accept new bookmarks in safari.

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

    I just says error when i type in the key and invalid password when I type in it in network assistant! ):): It comes up as WAP being the only option when I click the network name. but i don't actually know what WAP means....

    Go to Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > System Profiler to tell the MHz rating, how much RAM is installed, and what type of optical drive it has.
    To run Repair Permissions, go to Utilities again, and click on Disk Utility. Choose the named hard drive ("Macintosh Hard Drive" unless it's been renamed), and click on "Repair Permissions."
    What encryption are you running on your network? Do you have a router? If so, it needs to be set to a mode that will work with the 802.11b standard, since that is what the iBook's original AirPort Card uses.

  • Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

    Why am I not allowed to activate my product, CS3, when the product is bought years ago and I still have the serial number? It's an old version, but I don't throw products in the bin, just because they are old.

    And what exactly is your problem? Other than going of on a tangent about Adobe's alleged evilness preventing you to activate whatever CS3 product, you have not provided any useful info such as what exact problem you have, what system, what product we are axctualyl talking about and so on.
