Just purchased an iWork 08 Serial Number won't work

I ordered an iWork 08 Serial Number Family Pak. Why because I still use OSX.4.11. (an not use iWork09 as my machines are PowerPC. However in trying to enter serial number will not work.
in clicking order details the sent me a serial number for 09. and reading previous information serial numbers are not universal. So I've just wasted $100.00 buying a serial number I can use. trying all the support channels I can find, there appears to be no channel to cover this. If you have a mechanism set up to buy software it should ask and receive information on the version software you are purchasing. Now I am SOL. and wasted a 100 bucks.

I bought the package for iPhoto and such several months ago to reinstall iPhoto on a Computer that crashed. Bought on Amazon.
Ah, that would explain the price, especially if you bought it before iWork 09 was released.
It was a Legit Apple copy, never opened and was able to install with no problem and register with Apple.
Wasn't questioning legality, just wondering why you paid $100 for it? Explained above though.
It came with iWork so I installed tried out. Then I decided to buy the Serial number I though the software was smart enough to detect which software I was trying to purchase.
Hmm, I wonder if the trial version is preventing the serial number from working. Microsoft's Office trial does the same thing. Unless you completely remove all traces of Office from the hard drive, both retail and the trial if you've used it, the retail version won't activate.
I purchased the I package that had iPhoto 08 on it from Amazon. It was unopened shrink Warped and I was able to register with Apple. I need the O8 versions because They still support PowerPC, 09 series are Intel only. That disk also had iWork 08 on it I installed and Then I purchased the Serial Number. I've tried to locate on Apple's website where to write to excange serial Numbers. But can't find it.
Can't say I've ever heard of exchanging serial numbers. The one you have should work. Have you tried calling Customer Service at Apple?

Serial number won't work. What do I do?

Purchased Adobe Acrobat X Standard online in 2012. Downloaded again to computer today. The serial number won't work. What do I do?

Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING serial now?

Serial number won't work

trying to install lightroom 4 on my laptop. The serial number won't work, doesn't even seem like the right number of digits.

A Lightroom serial number should consist of 6 groups of 4 digits with no letters, for a total of 24 digits and the first four digits are 1160. Or at least this is the pattern I see for my LR purchases over the years, where they are are individual licneses, not Educational or Team or Enterprise.
How and where did you buy LR? If it was a box in a store, perhaps what you’re seeing is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:

Changed from Mac to Windows, serial number won't work.

I have been using CS4 on my Mac for a couple of years but just got a new Toshiba laptop and using Windows now. I have downloaded CS4 but serial number is not working, I assume because the serial number is for mac. Is this right? Can I get a new serial number for windows without having to buy one? Any help would be great thanks

As you suspect, serial numbers for Creative Suites are platform specific. Unfortunately, platform swaps are only supported for the most recent versions, which is now CS6. Adobe does not sell older versions of their software so you would not be able to buy a Windows version from them anyways. CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6, so you would not be able to purchase an upgrade version either.
So your options would be to either purchase a full version of CS6, subscribe to the Creative Cloud, or find a third party vendor for CS4 and take your chances purchasing from them.

MY SERIAL NUMBER WON'T WORK!!!

Last year I purchased an adobe master collection CS6 and so far it has been working fine. In the past month I haven't been able to access the applications as it continually asks for my serial number, however, when I go to type it in, it says it is wrong! I have just uninstalled the entire collection and have attempted to re-install, and have gotten up to the installation process yet the serial number is still showing up as wrong! I know the number is correct, it says so in my adobe account AND on the receipt of purchase, so I don't understand?! PLEASE HELP!!!!

Urgent-logic serial number won't work on new MacBook Pro

Just purchased a new MacBook Pro & did Migration Assistant. Logic now asks for my serial number, I punch it in and get a Invalid Serial Number dialog box. Whats up with this, my Logic Studio package is 2 years old and correct. Help!

HI, I had logic pro support on the telepone, and he said I had reversed the last two letters,I am not normally dyslecsic but he saved me because he was using shared screen,a fine thing at times like that.
This is almost a year ago, I hope you got it working!

TS1292 my serial number won't work either. I keep getting the same message. Invalid card

I bought an itunes voucher from safeway yesterday. When I enter the number (after scratching off with a coin) I get the message "not a valid number" it then asks me for a serial number which I then enter and get the same mesage. between vodafone and apple I reckon you both score an even for the worst customer service ever. You should be ashamed after the amount of money people use to purchase your products. I work in a very elite University but I certainly won't be advertising your product.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Did you fill out the support form on this page:

Serial number won't work for lightroom 5, how do I get a correct activation

I've used it before, but my harddrive died, and have to reinstall everything, and my serial number from my receipt will not work. HELP!!

I've done that as well. It still won't work. I guess I'll uninstall (I installed the trial, have done this before without any problem and than added the serial number (on the second hard drive in two months)). Would the program think this was a new computer and not install it, because it was installed on a computer before? I don't know I'm just trying to think of anything to do.

Serial number won't work with Acrobat 7.0 Pro

I'm trying to re-install my Acrobat 7.0 Pro on a new computer (Win 8.1) after a major crash. I successfully downloaded the new .exe file but installation won't accept the serial number listed for the download.

Moving this discussion to the Acrobat Installation & Update Issues forum.

Upgraded, and now my original serial number won't work, can't use pages!

Hi everyone --
I recently upgraded my hard drive in my ibook g4, and backed everything up to an external hard drive. I've since transferred everything back, including iwork '05. Now I open pages and it asks me for the serial number...only thing is, I didn't keep the original box/book w/ serial numbers, and only have it written on a slip of paper -- I entered it, and it's not right! It's a series of 5sets of numbers/letters (QMMH-6CDS-etc.etc.). Do you think if I call apple they'll give me another one? If not, how the heck can I obtain a new serial number so I can use pages again? This is so frustrating...Thanks!

Laura,
I'm sorry you're having problems. iWork '05 was infamous for making some serial numbers difficult to enter. Make sure you properly distinguish between zeros and ohs. Zeros will have a dot in the center. Also make sure you enter a one and not a small L. They look very similar. Use the hyphens. Don't use the Caps Lock key.
Finally, don't ever throw out package materials that have serial numbers on them.

Serial number won't work reinstalling Adobe Acrobat Pro X

I purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium which includes Adobe Acrobat Pro X. I've had continuing problems using Acrobat, so I decided to reinstall it. I was able to download it, but when I enter my serial number it tells me it's invalid. I'm copying it from my Adobe account, so the number is accurate. I've entered it with the dashes and without the dashes - neither one works. I need help getting this installed and working.

I downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html. I did not see anywhere to download it from my My Products page.

Aperture 3 serial number won't work

I just moved to a new Mac Air and wen't to open Aperture and it asked for my serial number which I entered per the email order confirmation I recieved from Apple and now it says it is not valid.
Any help would be great.

I have exactly the same problem----iMac to a new Macbook Air and the serial number, same as on the iMac, is rejected. Shouldn't there be a solution to this August 8th question by now? It has been 7 weeks. Where can we go for an answer if not here? Thanks

Serial Number won't work on installation (checked number and is correct)

Hi I have successfully downloaded Lightroom 5 and am having difficulty after entering my country and register serial/license to proceed. The number is definitely correct. There is no error message, just a red cross next to the end of serial number and no option to click "next".
Please help and thank you.
