Licensing trial, not recognizing serial number

I downloaded a trial of Lightroom 5 and have now purchased it from Amazon. I have tried to license the trial, but when I do it says that the serial number is invalid. Why is this? The only thing that I can think of is that I purchased a CD but downloaded the trial from Adobe's website. I was able to register my product on Adobe's website so I know that the serial number is valid.

Dreamweaver CS6 is not included in the Production Premium CS6 Creative Suite.
So did you purchase Dreamweaver CS6 as a separate standalone product? If so, it will have its own separate serial number. Did you purchase the boxed version or as a download from Adobe.com?

  • InDesign Suddenly Not Recognizing Serial Number

    I have CS2, which I installed right after I bought the Intel Mac, 3 years ago.
    Was able to enter the Photoshop serial number that it wanted at that time, but I have since lost or misplaced the folder that had all my Adobe registration info.
    I have the Photoshop disks, the manuals [remember when you actually GOT manuals!], the original boxes, but I can find only ONE serial number, 6.5 upgrade, and the CS2 Install disk doesn't like it.
    I have the CS2 serial number.
    Here's the problem:
    A last week, I had InDesign open and minimized all day while I was dealing with a website issue that took way longer than I thought it would. Forgot all about InDesign. When I tried to shut down at the end of the day, I had to ForceQuit InDesign, but it closed.
    The next morning when I tried to open InDesign to continue working, I was presented with the registration page.
    I HAVE no serial number just for InDesign except for a previous upgrade [removed by forum moderator] but the InDesign screen doesn't like that at all.
    So, I thought I would see if I could re-install it from the original CS2 disks. I put in the first disk and IT wants information! I supplied the serial number but it asks for the serial number of a Photoshop 5.0 or later. I have 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 - the disks, the manuals, the original boxes, and I entered the ONE serial number I was able to find. It didn't like it.
    I've had several Adobe IDs, numerous computer, lots of different email addresses, four or five different physical addresses, and during the past 3+ years have dealt with power outages blowing machines, a flood, and no printer on this Mac. One of my accounts is showing some product registrations, but not all and not a Photoshop 5.0 or beyond. It's showing Elements and Premier, which I purchased afterward for my husband's PC.
    Once upon a time, I printed out a record of all the PageMaker, PageMill, and Type purchases, but it's in that mysterious missing "Adobe" folder - the hanging file labeled "Adobe" is empty.
    I've entered help desk tickets, but the "resolved" my problem without resolving my problem and haven't responded to my "reopened" ticket.
    Now, today, InDesign won't even open at all, even to the registration screen. I do not know what to do.
    What can I do?  I'm still on Tiger, if that matters at all.
    Anyone know. I really need to get into InDesign. Would love to upgrade to CS4, but just cannot afford it right now.
    HELP!

    I guess I didn't read well enough. I really appreciate your help. I did bookmark that page, and THIS TIME I will READ it!
    In the middle of cleaning out my Gmail inbox (which was why I didn't respond immediately - way too much "marketing mail" in there). My mind's too muddled right now to make much sense of "techy" stuff, and I'm on a different computer. But I promise, I will give the situation more attention. About the same time that happened, other weird stuff started happening. Haven't pinpointed it. Am on a Mac - guess I felt "too safe".
    Thanks again,

  • Trying to install final cut studio and not recognizing serial number

    I am upgrading from final cut pro 5.1.4 with final cut studio 2. When I enter the studio 2
    serial number it asks me for my original serial number from 5.1.4 and it tells me it's not
    a valid serial number. I have checked over and over with my manual and the serial number
    on the software in the computer and it still says the same thing.
    Please help me thank you.

    Well we are not together anymore but he was my boyfriend at that time. He was trying to do something really nice without realizing many things about purchasing something like this.
    Actually, I have 2 serial numbers one for DVD Studio Pro 3 academic and one for final cut pro HD Academic Su. Is that what I am looking for ?

  • Aperture not recognizing serial number

    I went to the Apple Genius bar for help today and they wiped everything off and restored my OS.  I am now trying to put the Aperture software on that I bought 2 years ago, and it's saying the serial number is not valid.  What do I do?
    Thanks

    There has just an update been released, Aperture 3.4.3, that is supposed to fix serial number issues, try if updating helps.
    Is your Aperture version an upgrade from Aperture 2? Then you need to enter both serial numbers.
    And checck the correct typing - sometimes letters can be confused, the letters in the serial numbers are all upper case, see Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers and see if that helps.
    If all fails, contact Apple for an
    Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers . You will need to provide a proof of purchase.
    Regards

  • Not Recognizing Serial Number

    For awhile now, my Dreamweaver CS6 does not recognize my serial number. I bought it with the Production Premium CS6 Suite.
    I've tried to put in my serial number numerous times and nothing it working. It says that it is not a valid Dreamweaver Serial Number.
    I have also contacted costumber support and they were no help at all. They went around my problem and didn't help.
    Anyone have any ideas or an answer?
    ((I have Windows 7.))

    It does not magically appear in a new place.  It will only be where you put it.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

    If you purchased a package then there should have been instructions in the box on how to submit your academic credentials. If you purchased online from Adobe then you should have received instructions in an e-mail. But here is a link that might help you. There is a link under Step 2 that will take you to a place where you can enter the information, I think.

    Acrobat X Pro not working, Serial Number not recognized?

    Hi lv123321,
    Do you have Acrobat only License no or is it a part of suite. If Acrobat X pro is a part of suite then you need to use the suite setup to install Acrobat.
    Also if possible could you please private message me the serial no so I can try decoding it.

    and use the desktop app to install your adobe creative cloud programs.

  • License Setup file versus Serial Number Only Hosting

    Could someone list the pros and cons of license setup file versus serial number only hosting. I understand that the latter requires the least effort to set up and manage, but what would make me choose the former?
    Many thanks

    SJW,
    I'm think you're referring to the models where the license pool is hosted at Adobe. The two models are called "Serial Number-Only at Adobe" and "Adobe-hosted with custom options."
    What's common between the two
    - Pool of licenses is hosted at Adobe
    - Customer obtains e-license reports on the Licensing Website (LWS)
    - E-license is downloaded via the Internet (e-license is around 3 KB)
    Differences - Serial No. Only
    - Single pool of e-licenses, identified by the serial number, shared by the different groups in the organization that owns that serial number.
    - Reports on LWS show the total licenses available/downloaded, overdraft licenses available/downloaded, secondary use licenses, and recovered licenses.
    - Upon launching Acrobat, End-users see a dialog box indicating to download an e-license.
    - No changes to the way Acrobat 8 is installed (just install the application with the serial number as usual).
    Differences - Adobe-hosted with custom options
    - Individual pool of e-licenses, identified by the identifier of the each individual Ship To in the order. Not shared across the the organization.
    - Same as before, reports show the information about the customer's license pool. However, this option allows companies to have the request to download the e-license to capture the name of the machine so the reports will show the name of every machine that has downloaded (or returned) and e-license.
    - Upon launching Acrobat, End-users *may* see a dialog box indicating to download an e-license.
    - The installation of Acrobat 8 changes. In this case, Acrobat requires a Client Setup file that configures Acrobat 8 with the custom options the customer wants to setup
    - Custom options: display or not the dialog to the end-user (silent e-license download) and include/not include machine name in LWS e-license reports.
    In summary, the Serial Number-Only method is simpler but does not allow for customization (which in many cases that's just fine).
    Regards,
    Juan-Carlos

  • I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

  • Custom report: Machine Name Not Match Serial Number

    What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
    with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?

    > What criteria would I use for a custom report that would show computers
    > with Machine Names not matching Serial Numbers?
    Don't really see an easy way to do that. You don't get an option to say
    machine name not= to serial number or visa versa. The only thing I can
    see to do is create a basic workstation report and display machine name
    and serial number and do a side by side comparison.
