Just bought Iwork - Serial Number?

I just bought the iWork package from the store. And I was wondering if I get emailed a serial number or something, I need to be able to use the program now, and don't really want to wait 2-5 days as it's for a project I need ready by Monday... any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Skribble!
In your first post you say:
I just bought the iWork package from the store.
In your second post you say:
I would like the boxed version
I find this confusing. If you have the boxed version, the serial number should be in the box. If you have the trial version, you should be able to purchase the serial number on-line (This may not be true for people outside the U.S.A). Can you explain further what you need help with?

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks tells me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia)

Downloaded the Trial version. It still says the serial number key is invalid. On the iWork page where I am suppose to enter the serial number key, the "Go Back" button is always BOLD, but the "Continue" button remains GREY all the time. The "Continue" button remains grey even after I have completed the key entry. I have to type the "Return" key on my keyboard to force enter the key. The message I get is still "Invalid key".
I have called Apple. The first person helped by asking me to delete certain items in some Folders and it still did not work. I was then connected to a senior person, but I heard over the recording that there were 15 persons waiting on the line. I had to end the call because the wait will take too long.

How did you buy iWork (no 's', capital 'W')?
If you downloaded the trial version earlier, and have since purchased a serial number, iWork will ask you for the number the first time you launch one of the iWork applications after the trial period ends.
If you bought a retail box, or bought the individual applications through the Mac app store, no serial number is needed, but if any part of the trial version is still installed on your computer, you'll get a request to enter a serial number before proceeding.
In the last case, you must delete all traces of iWork and it's applications (but not the documents that you have created and saved), then reinstall the purchased versions from the DVD or from the app store.
For the simplest and most efficient means of deleting the trial version, go to Yvan Koenig's iDisk, then to:
for_iWork > iWork 09 > uninstall iWork 09.zip
Unzip the file, open with Script Editor and run.

Preinstalled iWork Serial Number

I just received my brand new iMac, which was supposed to come with iWork preinstalled (yes, I paid extra when I ordered it, so I should have the full version and not just the trial). However, when I attempt to open Pages or Keynote, I am prompted to input my serial number before I can load the application. I have searched through every piece of paper that shipped with my iMac, but I can't find reference to an iWork serial number anywhere. What do I do?!

According to my experience (Intel Mac with iWork pre-installed) you should have an iWork install DVD and documentation which has the serial number (on 2 stickers) on the front of the booklet.
If you don't have that then I'd give Apple a call.

Appleworks 6 needs iwork serial number

Tried to start appleworks 6, which was installed on mac when bought 4 years ago and working fine, and a box comes up asking for iwork serial number to continue. iwork has never been installed, upgraded to or downloaded before this. Tried downloading iwork 09 to get access to cwk files, but can't use iwork 09 on this system unless OS upgraded. Current OS is 10.4.11 I have original install discs for 10.4.8. How do I get access to my appleworks without iworks popping up? Don't bother asking about file backup disc.

Start by going to an AW document, right click on it (or ctrl-click) and choose get info from the contextual menu.
In the info window, see what application is set to default to open it. If it's anything other than AW, change it by clicking in the drop-down. If AW isn't listed, click 'other' and navigate to AW in the Applications folder. when set, choose the 'always open with' checkbox and then click the 'change all' button in the info window.

I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer. There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this?

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?

If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

I just put my serial number in to have someone call me about an issue, and it says my serial number is not valid. I copied it from the apple in the top corner. Any thoughts?

Apple Support is saying my serial number is invalid, and I copied from the desktop itself. Any suggestions as to why this would happen?

When you say you copied it from the desktop do you mean Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info?
If your Mac is 5 years old or older it is considered Vintage or Obsolete and Apple no longer offers support. Instead of telling you it will often just say the serial number is invalid.
What model/year is your Mac? You can also try entering your serial number on this website: http://appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php see what it comes up with.

Can't find iWork Serial Number after 'Genius' reset MAC OS X?

So my Mac somewhat crashed last week (could not sign in) and the Mac Genius guy downloaded a new MAC OS X software program.
He told me to click-and-drag my previous files [Macintosh HD..., Previous Systems..., 2008-03-27_1212] and now when I try to open iWork 08', *it wants my serial number.*
*But I don't know where my iWork 08' serial number is? Can anyone help!!??*
Thanks

I believe you mean the genius reinstalled Mac OS X.
The iWork serial number is stored in HD > Library > Preferences & it was likely lost in the crash as it's not part of the system. You will need to find the card with the iWork serial number that was in the original box. If you purchased the serial number online you should be able to find in by going to the Store tab at the top of this page then click on Account (at the upper right of the page under the Search box), then Downloadable software purchases & log in.

I've just received my serial number but when i use it says '' The serial numer you entered is invali

Refer to this:

TS4006 I JUST HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY IPHONE. THE BATTERY IS DEAD. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN FINE MY IPHONE??

I JUST HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF MY IPHONE. THE BATTERY IS DEAD. IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN FINE MY IPHONE??

Unfortunately no. Due to privacy issues Apple does not trace devices (if it could) based on serial numbers. That's why Apple provided the Find My iPhone service to help find lost devices. But in your case, a dead battery defeats the service. All you can do is contact your carrier to ask that it block your service and inform the police. Do you have insurance for the iPhone?

I just purchased a serial number for iWork

I just purchased online a Serial Number for iWork. When I enter it iWork refuses it as incorrect.

Thank you, fruhulda, for your advice. I shall visit the Apple Retail Store to-morrow and see what the can do.

I'm looking to get an iWork Serial number for my Macbook?

Hi there
I had to have the hard drive replaced & need to re-install iWORK.
I bought the Mac it came with iWork already installed but I have no box or record of the program so cant just re-install also I got it in early 2013 so it doesn't qualify for the "Up-to-date-program" update.
The computer came with the program installed but Genius bar have been no help & my Apple account doesnt have record of it because I didnt buy it separtly.
I would buy a serial number but cant find anywhere to buy an online version of the program only Amazon.com box versions!
Apple really should just give me a serial number as I imagine they'll know computer came with the program ... are other people having this problem?
Please help!
Thanks Tommy

Hi TommyElectrics,
If you are trying to reinstall the iWork applications that came with your MacBook, you can use the Mac app store to do that. See this article for instructions -
iWork '09: Disc or Mac App Store install may prompt for serial number

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Where is my iWork serial number?

I got an iWork trial with Tiger and after my trial ended I bought the full version electronically. Now I am left wondering where exactly my serial number is. I don't remember having an iWork booklet in my Tiger box and I am sure that I kept everything that came in it. It's also not on the cd sleeve that it came with it. I was wondering where the serial number is located for the Tiger iWork trial version?

I realized how stupid I am. I was looking at the help topic for installing iWork over the iWork trial. Now my question is does it take a couple of days for the serial number to post? Because all it says under my Software Download Purchases is Product, Part Number, and Purchase Date which was yesterday the 19th. Sorry for my stupidity I've just never bought software from Apple electonically before and usually with other companies there is some kind of instructions on where to find your serial numbers for the products you buy and I haven't seen that anywhere in this process.
