Lightroom 5.7 just installed, asking for serial number, not listed in online account info

My online account info shows serial numbers for versions 2,3, and 4 of Lightroom, but not 5.  I've been using 5.2 for about a year, since I signed up for the cc photography bundle.  My cc desktop app shows only PS cc and PS 2014 installed.  How can I get a valid serial number to activate the LR 5.7 I just installed as an update?

I have the same thing happen to me. Every time I start Aperture, it asks for the license. Once I have entered the license key it lets me use the application. However, the next time I use the application again, i get the same problem. I have tried reinstalling the application, and am asked for the license key at the beginning of the install and again once the package is started. To no avail. And I get no other messages.
I called Apple Support, and after booking a call with a support person (a Genius?), I got one who, after reading the summary of my problem in the service request, said simply "this is for Aperture? Aperture is a Microsoft product, you have to call Microsoft". And that was that.
Please, anyone have any ideas?

  • Lightroom 3 asks for serial number launching in non-admin account

    The following information was provided by Carey Burgess (Adobe Employee):
    Does Lightroom 3 launch and work fine in an admin account, but when you launch the application in a standard (i.e. non-admin) account it asks for a serial number?
    If so, then it is likely due to a file permissions issue either in the original (admin) account or with the standard account.
    (Although you need administrator access to install Lightroom, and you do need proper access permissions to your photos, you should be able to run Lightroom without issue in a standard user account.)
    Lightroom 3 stores registration data (the serial number) in a file called Lightroom 3.0 Registration, which is stored by default in one of these locations:
        * Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
        * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
        * Windows 7/Vista: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom
    -  Check for the registration file in the appropriate location for your system.
    If the file does not exist in that location, then ensure you are logged in with the admin account (the one where Lightroom doesn't prompt for a serial number) and check the user-specific location instead:
        * Mac OS: /Users/YOUR USER NAME/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom
        * Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom
        * Windows 7/Vista: C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom
    If the file exists in the user-specific location instead, then I would suggest that you ensure that you have quit Lightroom, and then move the registration file from the user location to the default system-wide location. Lightroom should now no longer prompt for serial number when you open it from a non-admin account.
    If the registration file did (or now does) exist in the default system-wide location, but you are still being prompted to enter a serial number when opening Lightroom in a standard user account, then that account does not have sufficient access permission to the registration file.
    To resolve this aspect, there are two possible solutions (the first being the recommended solution):
    1. Change the access permissions on the Lightroom folder that contains the registration file to grant "Read" access for the standard user account. (You can do this for each account individually, or you can use a broader group like Everyone.)
    For more information about changing permissions, see one of these articles:
        * Windows XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308419#4
        * Windows Vista/Windows 7: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-are-permissions
        * Mac OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8342.html
    2. Copy the registration file from the system-wide location to the user-specific location for the standard user account. (You would need to repeat this step for each standard user that needs access to Lightroom.)
    Reply here if these steps do not resolve your issue, or if you have any questions.

    Months ago, I had a routine clearout of old software boxes etc and chucked out my Lightroom 1.0 box. A couple of weeks ago I reinstalled Lion on my mac to find that I cannot register Lightroom. I have the 3.0 upgrade serial, the 2.0 upgrade serial, but the 1.0 was on the box..
    I followed the instructions above to find the files in crashplan form before the fomat that hold the registration details. I have tried placing them in the location described, but it doesn't seem to work.
    The serials (or something) are in the file, but given in the string that is difficult to decipher - and doesn't work in the registration screen, wrong size and a mix of letters and numbers rather than just numbers as my 3.0 serial is.
    Any suggestions for what I could do? Could I send the strings in to Adobe to be deciphered? Perhaps move files around a bit more?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rog.

  • IWork install asking for serial number even though installed from disc set

    Ok so two days ago I bought a MacBook Pro from Best Buy. It was one of those open package deals. Anyhow the MacBook was missing the software. I decided it might be a good idea to buy the Mac Box Set at the local Apple Store because I might need the OS disc at some point and I thought why not upgrade my iMac while I'm at it. So I went to an Apple Store and bought the Mac Box Set
    I install Snow Leopard. I then install iLife. Lastly I install iWork. Sort of. Seems the first two are fine but when I click to open any of the iWork apps it ask for me to insert a serial number. I did a search and discovered there was a trial version of iWork 08 on here so I deleted it and the current instal. The reinstalled. Still same issue.
    What should I do if it is still asking for a serial number?
    And just incase anyone is wondering if I have the disk....

    Good, there are many answered threads to your specific question.

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.

  • Is it normal for buyers to ask for serial number of my iphone? can i just give it to them?

    is it normal for buyers to ask for serial number of my iphone? can i just give it to them?

    Yes, it tells them the legitimacy of the phone. the serial number is tied to the purchase of the phone and verifies date purchased and more importantly if it's still under warranty. There is no personal information given about the phone serial.
    This is just the buyer being cautious of the purchase and if it is a legitimate sale, it won't matter if they have it or not.
