Lightroom serial number invalid on a new computer

i have just bought an imac.  i have downloaded lightroom five which i have the serial number for but when i add the serial number it keeps telling me the number is invalid?

Have you installed Lightroom 5.6 using Creative Cloud desktop App?
If yes, Quit Lightroom 5 and navigate to
mac hd/library/application support/adobe/lightroom folder
Then trash Lightroom 5 install cookie file
Launch Lightroom and try activating.

  • Re-istalling Lightroom: Serial number invalid for second computer download

    I recently had to wipe my Macbook Air, which removed my purchased version of Lightroom 4. I am now unable to reinstall/download Lightroom 4, despite having only previously downloaded the software to one Mac. The serial number is coming up as invalid. How can I re-install Lightroom 4 onto my Macbook Air?

  • Serial number not valid on new computer

    I purchased Lightroom 5 in November 2013 and have a serial number that worked on a 64bit PC at that time.  I just purchased a new 64bit PC and downloaded the current version of Lightroom 5 (64bit 5,7.1) using Creative Cloud.   This started a 30 day trial that works fine.  When I try to enter the serial number I received in Nov 2013 the message returned is: "The serial number you entered in invalid."   What's wrong?  (PS  I still have the old PC that is in storage.)

  • Aperture won't take serial number after transfer to new computer

    I used the Migration Assistant to move from an old computer to a new one.  Now Aperture asks for a serial number and it won't take the one I have.  It's the orginal number that came with the software.

    Pro Apps like Aperture don;' take to being installed that way. You'd be best to re-install it from the media you received it on (I'm assuming you didn't get it from the App Store as you mentioned a serial number).
    If you don;' have the original media you can download the trial version and use the serial number you have to authorize it.

  • Asked for serial number after migration to new computer

    I did a migration to a new MacBook pro from my old iMac and now Aperture is asking me for the serial number.
    I thought using the Apple migration would take care of the complete migration.
    This is the only SW that I have noticed that have this issue. All other of my licensed SW is working just fine after the migration.
    Suggestions?

    Enter the serial number. Not all software magically transfers serial numbers.

  • Sold Aperture 2 - but 'serial number invalid'

    Hi there, please help
    I bought Aperture 2 many months ago, but found it wouldn't work on my Powerbook G4. I then switched to Adobe Lightroom, and put the Aperture software in the cupboard.
    I've just sold the software, but the new user gets the error message, 'serial number invalid'. It's possible I entered the serial number (can't remember), but the software itself was never used. How do I get the software to work for someone else?
    Many thanks for any help.

    If the serial number is valid it wouldn't care if it had been entered before or if it had been on a different computer. Is this a boxed set? It wasn't an upgrade was it? Do you still have the original serial number sticker?
    Either the serial number you gave to the new owner is wrong or else they are entering it wrong unless the software you have was an upgrade in which case you also need the original serial number.
    If you don't have the correct original number the only ones who can help are Apple.

  • What serial number is associated with which computer in my office?

    I am trying to see what serial number is associated with which computer in my office. I have multiple serial numbers purchased and see them in my account, but how do I see which serial number is assigned to which computer?

    You can refer following link to recover SN from your Adobe account:

    Otherwise launch the installed licensed copy of Photoshop and select Help>Product Registration. This will register the serial number with your Adobe ID.

  • When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    Lets clear a couple of things up first.
    1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
    2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
    Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.
