LightRoom for mac not keeping serial number

Anytime a user runs LR for the first time after a reboot it asks for a serial number. this is true for both local administrators, Open Directory Admins, and non-admin users.
I called Adobe, but because it's a volume educational license, it has to go to Tier 2 and they charge for that.

Hello,
it means that LR can't load pictures, nor editing them or exporting. LR is blank!

PE on mac not recognising serial number

I'm sure there an excisting thread but I can't find it.
My problem is that a version of PE 6 that came with a scanner is not accepting the serial number on the packet.
I've tried uninstalling, running the cleanscript and reinstalling but the result is the same.
system = macmini (dual intel processer) 2gb ram - OS 10.5.8
scanner = Epson V700
Any help gratefully recieved
Mike
A personal note - I used Photoshop for years at work before I retired. I like Photoshop but don't like having to 'geek' it to get it to install.

Unfortunately, you need to contact Epson for problems with their bundled products. If clean script didn't help, you might try running it again, maybe both the CS3 and CS4 versions, but if that doesn't work, it sounds like a problem with the serial number they gave you, which only they can sort out.
EDIT I wouldn't give up on cleanscript yet, though. A few people have had to run it more than once. I'd also create a new user for the install.

Where can I purchase Photoshop CS4 for Mac with a serial number

Looking to upgrade to CS4 on my mac, where can I purchase a copy with a serial number

If you're upgrading, why would you want to just get CS4 and not CS6 - or CC?
Chuck, you might be surprised when I tell you that, if it weren't for the advances in ACR since version 7.4, I would be doing all of my work in CS4, and that I know others who feel the same way.
I still have versions 7.x through CS6 13.0.6 installed on my Macs. I resort to CS4 very, very often. (Grain Surgery plug-ins that Adobe bought and killed, etc.)
There are many folks who use Photoshop as our digital darkroom exclusively who feel more recent versions are just plain bloated.
In many ways, even Ps 7.0.1 is plenty, if not for ACR.

Lightroom for Mac - Not updating modules

I read about Lightroom as sftw close to Aperture and I dediced to try. I downloaded thre trial and installed. Lightroom is not working because it can't update modules, so i can't add pics to the library etc. I've cancelled sftw, downloaded again and re-installed but without result.

Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number

Aperture keeps asking for my name and serial number, but only on one of my Macs. This is a new Mac that I restored from my old Mac. It made sense to have to put in the documentation the first time, but the program keeps asking for it. Any thoughts?

Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise the serial number cannot be stored.
Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library; this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
SInce you migrated your system from another mac, you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppsSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see ProAppsSystemID there, move it to its proper location in /Library/Application Support/ProApps.
Aperture must be running, and you will have to wait a few minutes to be seeing the file appearing the /tmp directory.

Download the Mac version and use your serial number to acrivate it. As long as your license is mulriplatform it should work.

Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

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.

you may as well install the later lr 5.7.1 rather than 5.6 and then updating.

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

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.
