Lightroom 5 Serial Number Woes

Have Lightroom 5 serial number, proof of payment, installation CD, etc Adobe registration doesn't accept it; hired computer expert  who advises get new serial number - unable to contact Adobe by phone to get one - have had product for 8 days and still unable to use it - service please - has anyone got an Adobe service phone number that works or has encountered the same problem and got it resolved?

Live Adobe telephone help solved my problem: one digit of my validation
code was wrong. Upside: Lightroom working like a charm. Downsides: had to
wait 3 hours to finally talk to real person at client service centre in
Asia (but person was helpful and quite articulate), and had to accept that
Adobe insisted that it was human (my) rather than machine error (code flaw
that led to incorrect digit being generated). Not worth candle to try to
persuade them to fix coding flaw but I did point out that others might have
same problem. Good luck.

  • Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4 serial number issue

    Hi my name is Teresa.
    I bought the student edition Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4 a year ago through the bookstore of my university in CD download format and installed it in my desktop. I got the serial number through an email that they sent to my university email address. I must have deleted that email by mistake because I can't find it anymore. I didn't register the two softwares on my Adobe account so I can't see the serial numbers on that.
    I just bought a laptop today and I want to install the same applications but not knowing the serial number, it is impossible to install. I contacted Adobe Customer Service but they kept referring me to another person to another person, and eventually wasted 3 hours without solving anything.
    Is there anything I can do? I am in a puzzle. I need help now.
    P.S. I have the exisiting softwares on my desktop but not on my laptop.

    If support can't help you, then nobody can. We don't have access to their databases here. Still, try to contact them again and escalate this to the higher levels.

  • Re-installing Lightroom 5 to new computer have upgrade CD and but I don't have Lightroom 4 serial number

    Any help will be appreciated

    Is Lightroom 4 still installed on the old computer? If it is then you can get the serial number from there. If it isn't, and you registered your copies of Lightroom with Adobe then you can log into your account and get the serial number from there.

  • Monthly Photoshop CC & Lightroom - no serial number

    Purchased the montly subscription for this offer.  Downloaded Photoshop & Lightroom no problem.  Installed photoshop but can't install Lightroom.  Installation program requires a serial number & I cannot find anywhere in my Adobe account where that serial number would be.  Doesn't appear to be integrated into the Creative Cloud.
    Not at all happy with this at all.

    Hi geepee,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Do you have beta(trial version) installed for light room? If yes, then uninstall it completely by checking the preference boxes too.
    Now restart the computer & download & install from the CC desktop App. It should work.
    In case it does not work, contact Adobe support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

  • I have a problem with Lightroom 4 serial number

    Hi,
    With my leica M9 coming a ligtroom 4 with a number for download.
    After one year i upgraded my ligtroom 4 at to lightroom 5 directly , well, now i want install lightroom 5 in my new MAC and after installation says me that i have to  write  two serial numbers, one number is the lighroom 4 original and the number of lightroom 5 update, I only have to the lighroom 5 and i don't found the lightroom 4 in my adobe profile.
    How can i know what is my number serial of the first Ligtroom 4?
    Sorry for my english, is bad.
    Thanks-
    Best Regards.

    you'll need both serial numbers to install the lr 5 upgrade.
    if you purchased and downloaded lr 4 from adobe or registered with adobe, you may be able to find your lr 4 serial number under the account used to make that purchase/registration (not necessarily your current adobe id), Adobe ID
    and adobe support may be able to help you, contact adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • Lightroom 6 serial number does not work.

    After buying the upgrade from Lightroom 5 to 6 and after installing I am asked for the serial number. When using the serial number received from the e-mail confirmation I receive the message that it cannot be validated?

    I'm having the same issue. When I enter the serial number I get an error that says that it cannot be validated.
    The solution posted is also confusing.. I originally bought Lightroom stand alone.. I don't think I have a Creative Cloud membership plan, at least I know for sure I don't pay on a monthly basis and the account page is not very clear at telling me if I do have a free one or I can try a free one...
    Very annoying.. I bought the product 5 days ago and I can't use it..

  • Lightroom 6 serial number issues...

    Purchased Lightroom 6 upgrade (already have 5.7 on my Mac) and while performing the setup, it asks for my serial number. I input the code and the error message I get reads, "serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer." As I said, I already have Lightroom 5.7 on my Mac, so not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?

    Via customer service chat, I was told... 
    "You need to enter the serial number for lightroom 6 and then lightroom 5".
    Will give that a shot...

  • Problems with Lightroom 5 serial number

    Desperation setting in. Have been round and round this site, followed all the helpful advice but still receive message that my serial number is invalid. However I bought and paid for the software yesterday and received confirmation emails and serial number and I have a version of Lightroom 5 downloaded and working on my laptop. So why is it a trial only when Adobe has taken my money?
    And there was me thinking it was quite a straightforward process - perhaps I should stick to Photoshop CS5.!!!!

    Hi Derrick2014.
    The order for Adobe Lightroom 5 has been completed and the serial number should be in your account.

  • I can't find Lightroom 5 serial number after $9.99/month purchase

    Hello,
    I just followed the "Purchase for $9.99/ mo plus local taxes" from the special photoshop cc/LR5 page (https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?promoid=KIPKZ)
    I received a confirmation email saying the purchase was successful and I was able to update Photoshop, but I don't see a serial number for LR5 anywhere and my order does not reflect that I purchased LR5.
    Please assist.

    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
    May I suggest that you develop a method of storing your ALL of your serial numbers (and other important data) so that you can find them when you need them? After all, you paid money for this.
    By the way, if you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom, that's the wrong version and could cause this problem. You want the standalone version of Lightroom: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html

  • I lost my Lightroom 4 serial number!

    Moving this discussion to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.

  • Lightroom trial serial number

    I'm in the process of upgrading Lightroom 5 from a trial version. I have entered the serial number but then lightroom asks me for the original serial number which I don't recall receiving with the trial version of lightroom.
    Any ideas??
    Darryn

    This sounds like you have purchased an upgrade, not the full version.
    You may want to post in the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum, or Contact Customer Care.

  • Lightroom 5 serial number

    Why does Lightroom 5 occasionally ask for the serial number?
    After inserting it again, it has lost all of its presets, own brushes and the catalogue.

    I got the same problem, support did not help...

  • Installing lightroom from serial number

    hi
    The intro dialog box on my donwloaded and installed trial software version of Lightroom asks for a serial number. I have  bought the software and been emailed the serial number.
    The serial number is not entering correctly - it seems as if the first box will only take 3 numbers.
    help!

    sure here is a screen grab -
    as you can see it only takes 3 numbers in the first box

  • Trying to liscense my Student version of Lightroom, but serial number I was given is "invalid"

    The title pretty much sums up my problem; every time I enter it the number in, it says the serial number is invalid and tells me to contact customer support. I tried getting help in chat; the representative looked up the number, and apparently the number I was given is fine and they left immediately
    I directly copied and pasted the number from the validation email after a few failed tries. Still no dice.
    I own the physical version of Lightroom, but my laptop doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Help?

    There are two different “newest versions” of LR 5.6 that are licensed differently.  One, from the Updates page, is a standalone version that is licensed via a serial number.  The other is licensed by a cloud login.  It may be that you have the cloud-licensed version and need the serial-number-licensed version.
    I’d suggest that even though you have what you believe is the newest version, you uninstall what you have, and install the one from the Updates page.
