Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?
If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page
If yes
Some general information for a Cloud subscription
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

  • Keeps asking for serial number since upgrading

    Just took the plunge and despite some dodgy reviews, I upgraded elements via a disc install. Now each time I open it, it asks for serial number and assumes I am still on trial. This despite my account showing it is registered. Also it has up graded and not brought any plug ins with it to the newer versions.
    Think I will just stick to Lightroom completely and write this version off.
    Any advice on sorting this buggy upgrade out?

  • Trial version is asking for serial number ... helpp

    I selected "try" from the adobe CS5 page and when I am in the install window it asks for serial number.
    Why ???
    Now there is option to "try as a trial version" however it will not allow me to progress and select this option.
    Very Frustrating...

    Did you run any other trials already? in any case, try the suggestions listed in the respective section regarding licensing here and also have a look at the specific CS5 stuff.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

    I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello there,
    Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
    I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
    I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
    I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
    Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Pierre
    PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.

  • App keeps asking for serial number (which I don't have)

    I've downloaded my app (Audition) that my company already purchased for me. The app keeps asking for my serial number (which I don't have). When I'm logged into Creative Cloud, Audition appears in my account. What gives?

    Hi Ratandeep Arora
    I followed the instructions, made the changes suggested, and it's still asking me for a serial number.
    I can't use my app that we paid for. Very frustrating.

  • Mac OSX Photoshop CS6 keep asking for serial number

    Hi, I don't know why, but since few days ago, my photoshop CS6 started to pop up with the trial message and ask me to enter serial number. However, I'm on a one year subscription for photoshop CS6 only, there is no serial number.
    I opened the software, and choosed "lincese this software" and then signed in with my adobe ID.  After that, the message ask me for serial number.  This didn't happen before.
    My systme is :
    Now it says I only have one day for the trial. Please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks
    Eric

    @CKPAD.co - The Adobe ID you are using to post here has never signed up for the Creative Cloud, not even a free/trial account. Are you using a different Adobe ID for a Creative Cloud subscription? If not this would be the correct behavior. The 30 day trial ends and you can either puchase a perpetual license (serial number) or a Creative Cloud subscription.
    Feel free to follow up with me by email at [email protected] since I do not want you share private information like your email address in public forum.

  • CS6 for iMAC keep asking for serial number nearly everyday

    Hello,
    There is an iMAC (OSX 10.10) in my company which was purchased 2 years ago with CS6 Design Standard installed.
    There was no problem at all after the purchase.
    However recently, CS6 keep asking the user to type the serial number nearly everyday(see attached image); the software can be used normally once the serial number is entered.
    The user is a general user without admin privilege. Anyway I have tried to closed all adobe products, login with admin account and enter the correct serial number, it works as usual; however after one or two days CS6 still asking for serial again... so I guess this problem shall not related to user account privilege.
    I believe my serial key is a volume license key.
    Any suggestion? Thanks.

    Fix the permissions on the relevant Library folders.

  • Design Standard keeps asking for serial number

    Hi
    Apologies if this is not the correct forum. We are school with an educational licence of CS Design Standard 5.5 - We have installed this on about 100 Windows 7 PCs. The product works for all users and then after an hour, day or week each PC will tell me that the product is a trial version and nees the serial number again.
    Quite a few times the exe for each product vinishes although do not know if this related.
    Are we doing something wrong with the registration process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    regards

  • Lightroom keeps asks for serial number

    Although payment has gone through and Photoshop has installed correctly, when I open my Adobe Manager on the Mac it says Lightroom is up to date (cannot Download), although if I click into the Lightroom icon on my desktop it requires serial number.

    Hi,
    You may want to search the forum for like problems. I assume you are using the CC version and you have a trial version installed, so have a look at this thread:

  • Photoshop keeps asking for Serial Number ( I already purchased it online)

    Hi,
    I bought the Photoshop app through the Adobe website for a yearly commitment as student. I downloaded Photoshop from creative cloud, then I try to open Photoshop, it asks me to sign in, I sign in then it asks whether I want to start a Trial or License This Software. Where in the world can I get the serial(license) number from?No one has provided me with one and I never got any confirmation e-mail that supposedly has the serial number. This is really making me angry because I really need photoshop for my class because I have homework that is going to be way over due if I do not get photoshop up and running by morning. I keep trying to contact someone through a live rep but NO ONE is giving me straight answers! please anyone help!
    Thank you,
    Katie

  • Aperture keeps asking for serial number when I try to open it.

    When I try to open Aperture it asks for a serial nummber. I plug iin the serial number and it asks for the original version software number. I plug in that serail number but it will not accept it even though I have checked and it it the correct number.

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.

  • CS6 components keep asking for serial number

    I have a non-cloud CS6 Master collection. From time to time when I launch one of the components, Photoshop, Premiere, Encore, Illustrator, etc. I get a dialog: "Your trial is about to expire, Licence this software". After I enter the serial number the component launches and works fine. Then for a few days CS6 components launch fine and then the same poblem happens again. I have already entered my serial number over dozen times and it is still hapening. This is quite annoying.
    I saw other people asking similar questions on the Forum but have not seen a solution. Does anyone fom Adobe monitor this Forum and can tell us what's going on?
    Thanks,
