Last time i bought iwork retail v9.0.3, then i tried to install it but it kept showing the error message. After i updated my mac, the iwork asked for a serial number and until today i can't use any of the iwork application. How can i solve this problem?
Hoping for a solution since i need to have this iwork to 'work'.. Too many assignments need to be done and i am sick of going to the library to use the desktop there. Thank you =)
I think you have two separate issues & I'll try to answer in the order you need to address them.
First, it seems you have/had the trial of iWork '09 installed. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Next, you need to update iWork '09 to 9.0.5. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program
If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there. -
I purchased Adobe CS4. I am now being asked for my serial number and when I put it in the program does not recognize it for Acrobat Pro 9 though it does for PhotoShop, Bridge and the rest of the suite. What can I do?
Contact support if you have serial number issues. Otherwise start by checking this stuff:
Sign in, activation, or connection errors

I have bought the whole CC and it says my trial has expired. But when i go to license the software, it asks for a serial number and i dont have one. Please help.
Sign out from Creative Cloud and sign in again using email ID using which you had purcahsed subscription:
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
Then launch CC apps which is asking for serial number and check.
Still asks for serial number check the hosts file for Adobe entries , if present remove it and try to activate.
1) Right click on the Finder icon on dock and select "Go-To Folder" option.
2) You will get a text box, type-in below mentioned command and then hit 'Return' key.
/etc
3) It will open the etc folder, please look for file named "hosts" and copy the same to Desktop screen.it
4)Double click on Hosts file , it will open it with TextEdit, If present Delete Adobe entries present inside Hosts file like 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com.......etc
5)Copy and paste the Hosts file back to "Etc" folder.
When asked Authenticate with your Mac password.
Make sure to select "Replace" option when prompted.
Then launch CC apps which is asking for serial number and check. -
First off, my computer had to be wiped clean back in early January. All my programs was gone and that included my CS6 program. So I re-installed them. Then one day, I see this Adobe update and it had the Adobe Creative Cloud App. I think I did something stupid and I wanted to tryout not only the Lightroom version, but Photoshop CC as well. My CS6 already had a Photoshop on it. I thought it would be a separated (you know, a separated program on one side and the other one on one side) and not interfere with my CS6 program. Now it's asking for a serial number and whenever I input my serial number (oh by the way, I got CS6 through my school by online; so I got a non disc version) it saying my serial number experied. So here's my questions:
1. If I remove the Adobe CC app off my computer, would the cc versions of my CS6 programs go away?
2. How many time can you installed the non disc version of CS6?
3. Cont. from the first question; If I re install CS6 and uninstalled the CC app would that help?
I know I sound almost computer illiterate, but I need help with this issues. I am college student, and I can't afford one CS6 program, rather alone the whole CS6 and I really need that suite in order to complete my assignments while at home. What do I do?Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

I purchased a Logic Pro 9.1.6. from App Store and when I try to open it, it's asking for a serial number. That shouldn't happen, they told me on Applecare Professional Application Support. Once I had a "trial version" of Logic Pro 9.0.0. Does this matter?

Yep, there's versions and "versions". But I'm a poor, stupid guy and now I had my first chance to get The REAL Logic Pro. So please, if somebody could help me with that I would be grateful.
You would need to delete all of the Logic Audio related preference files, reciepts...etc, located in these folders.
~/Library/Preferences
Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Receipts
And possibly
~/Library/Applicationsupport/ProApps
I guess it's possibly safe to assume that all of the people posting on this board asking why the App Store version is requesting a serial have been using pirated software. -

I have installed Lightroom 5.6 as an upgrade but am unable to proceed because it wants a serial number; how do I attain the needed serial number?
No, I did not have to purchase the upgrade. But here is what I believe my
error was: earlier today, I upgraded to LR 5.6 on my laptop. Then I
upgraded to the same on my desktop, but became confused and installed it
TWICE.
Is this the reason that Adobe is asking me to license Lightroom and to come
up with a serial number? (I have my serial # from LR4, but it does not do.)
Should I try to deactivate LR 5 and then try again to upgrade to it?
Or am I still confused and need to purchase the LR 5.6 upgrade? Thanks for
your help.

lightroom 4 won't open....sorry
What did you try to solve it?
Tried reinstall of latest 4.x version?
What OS are you using? -
I am not very computer literate, so I don't know details. It happens every time I try to open an e-mail.
Probably caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension - disable it in the Firefox Addons Manager > Extensions tab.
If you don't have that specific extension installed, there are other "security" add-ons that use the guts of McAfee SA. You'll need to figure out which one it is with a little troubleshooting.

How can i download iWorks onto my macbook without it asking for a serial number?
I downloaded iWorks onto my Macbook, but when I try to open it its asking for a serial number and I can't find the serial number. What can I do?
Then you purchased it from Apple. They will send the complete boxed set with a serial number. Whatever you downloaded is most likely just a trial version.
If by "download" you mean how to install on the computer, then you have an installer DVD. On or in the box you received will be the required serial number. You might see the following:
iWork '09: Serial number not required for installation of retail boxes
iWork '09: Install disc may prompt for serial number
