Licence number won't work

My brand new Lightroom number (from Leica) won't work. It says "wrong number", anyone knows why a valid number can't work ? Adobe has always been so annoying with anti piracy policy so that's why I stopped using it years ago, and I see it's getting worse with the cloud now…

I had a simular problem with my serial number. I found out that I had a serial number for LR windows/mac client and I had LR creative cloud on my Mac. The number worked once I had downloaded the LR client install software. But it took me some time to find that download area on Adobe's website, they obviously want to sell the cloud version.

Legitimate serial number won't work

Just received a new copy (at great expense) of Adobe Creative Suite and it won't install because the legitimate serial number won't work.

Refer to this:

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:

QT7pro license number won't work. Any ideas?

I have a QT7pro license number purchased several years ago, now have reinstalled QT7 on W7, but license number won't work. Any ideas?

b noir:- It's a Windows license key. Has been fine on an old XP PC, but am moving to W7, so reinstalling everything bit by bit. I paid for it, should still be able to use I reckon, even years later. I can still log in to Apple and see the order number/license number etc, but it's just listed as an invalid key when used.
Technically I don't really need it any more, as I have other video conversion / production software, but it is useful for quick production of movies for website usage.

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 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.

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.

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.

Serial number won't work with product installed.

Why won't the serial number supplied with Acrobat Pro XI work for installed product?

Hi Larrywe1,
I checked your account and found that there are two license registered under your account, on the installation screen, you will have to enter the previous license number then enter the serial number for current version.
It should work.

How do I re-install Elements 10 from an old computer to a new computer? I already deleted it off the old computer and didn't deactivate it. Now my serial number won't work.

Hello! I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a PC. Deleted it from the PC and didn't deactivate it. Now I'm trying to install on my MAC. Saying serial number is in-valid. Help! Thanks!

Well, first of all is this a boxed version? If it's a download your serial number is invalid because downloads are single platform while boxed serial numbers work on both.
If that's not it, you will need to contact activation support:
Activation & Deactivation Help
Scroll down to "still need help" and you can start a chat session to get it straightened out.

Phone crashed, re set to factory settings now iMessage from phone number won't work

Hey all,
So my iPhone 5s had some sort of mini crash and long story short it went into recovery mode when I plugged it in to my Macbook. I had to reset the phone to factory settings and go through that entire to-do. After restoring my phone, I thought every thing was working fine and imessage was working as well. But then someone tells me that they can't send me imessages to my phone number but instead have been texting me through my email address connected to my apple ID.
I go into settings and messages, imessage was turned on and I looked at the send and receive section. However there is no send section, just a "you can be reached at" section. My email address is checked and my phone number is faded (and unclickable) and does not have a check mark next to it. I've tried turning imessage on and off, obviously, but it tells me there is a problem activating imessage (although when I hit ok it continues to wait for activation). I'm not sure if this detail is important but I am currently abroad and connecting over wifi (which is extremely strong). When I go into imessage on my laptop , my number isn't listed at all as well.
Someone please help. I am currently abroad for another week and imessage is very important for contacting people back home. Thank you.

iMessage activation requires an SMS to be sent to the Apple Servers in the UK. IF you do not have a cellular connection, that could answer why it is not activating. You can check this support document for help with activation of iMessage. iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
If you are using Wi-Fi only, that would also explain why it would not be activating the phone number.

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.

Blew out Final Cut registration (legit); number won't work, how do I get reset

For the second time in the last year I have upgraded my MacPro (to a newer tower), I just physically transferred my internal drives to the new tower (in a not well thought out test) and seem to have blown out my app registration (legit); how do I get my registration reset. 2nd copy of license installed on my second system, an iMac (and it's working). You'd think I'd learn, I messed up registration on last system transfer/upgrade almost a year ago; and to be honest with you i can't remember 100% how i got it reset then... but believe it was through an online support chat or a phone call, but now i can't even find a number on the Apple site that seems like the proper one.

The serial number of a Pro App is mated to the logic board of your computer on install, not the drives - so when you move the drives, FCP sees that it is not on the same machine and asks to be re-blessed.
If you have your serial numbers, you should be able to re-enter them. If you are missing your serial numbers, here is a Knowledge Base article that may help you:
