Lightroom5 asks for serial number every time I open.

Every time I open Lightroom I have to give my serial number. Somehow I am now using a trial version after upgrading to LR5 via CC. Don't know how to fix.

Try this (MAC OSX):
- close all Adobe application
- navigate to Mac HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Lightroom>Lightroom 5.0
- Right-click on Lightroom 5.0 folder and select Get Info
- In Get Info window, expand Sharing and Permissions secition, click on Lock icon and give all accounts listed read and write
- click on small gear icon and select 'Apply enclosed items'
- Then close the Get Info window and launch Lightroom 5, enter the serial number and close and re-launch the product

Final Cut Studio asks for serial number EVERY time I open a program

I recently purchased Final Cut Studio 2, and every time I open a program (Motion, FCP, Compressor, etc.) it asks me to put in my name and serial number.
What gives?

Final Cut asks for Serial Number every time I open it.

A couple months ago I upgraded to Final Cut Studio 2 on my iMac. Since then, every time I open up any applications I get prompted to type in my serial number. I've resulted to keeping my serial number on my desktop for easy access, but it's still really annoying. Any ideas?

This is just a thought...I don't know the answer from experience. Perhaps your user account doesn't have privileges to write the file to wherever FCS wants to store the Serial #. Once it's written on your computer, it's should work from any user account.
Does the user account you're entering the serial number from have administrative privileges? If not, then try logging into your administrator account (or temporarily give your user account the privileges) and enter the serial number there.

Logic asks for serial number every time I start it...

Hi,
I've just reinstalled Logic Studio and it asks me for a serial number every time I start up Logic Pro if I don't have the old XS key inserted.
It's the upgrade version and in the past i've just needed to insert the XS Key at installation, not evey time I use it.
I'm using Logic Pro (lastest update) with Lion which Apple says is supported.
Can anyone help?

I had this issue when I upgraded. I resolved it by inserting the key before I started the upgrade and left it in there and then valdidate it with the serial. After that it never asked for the key again. If this is not working you might want to contact support and they probably provide a new serial key.

Adobe lightroom asking for serial number each time I open it. Any suggestions?

I just downloaded Lightroom 5 and updated to 5.7 when prompted on completion of the process. I now have to input the serial number each time I open the programme. Is there any thing I can do, restarting the installation for example, to try and get round this problem?

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?

Lr4 asks for serial number every time it starts

I purchased a Lightroom 4 upgrade license from the Adobe store and I can't get the serial number to stick after entering it in the start-up dialog. Every time I launch Lightroom, the application asks for the new serial number and the original serial number for the product that I upgraded from (Lr3). I get green checks when I enter both numbers and Lightroom functions normally, but when I quit and launch Lightroom again it starts from scratch and I need to re-enter both serial numbers.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.3

A thread associated with a Lr2 upgrade has a solution. I deleted the file 'Lightroom 4.0 Registration' at /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom (NB: not the user's Library) and I am no longer prompted for the serial number. Yeah!

FCP 7 keeps asking for serial number every start up

I just got the new Mac Pro and transferred all my programs from old to new. Every time I open FCP 7 it asks me for my serial number. Does anybody know what I need to do so I don't have to type it in each time?

Using the migration function is never a good idea with Pro apps. The installer places files deep in the System and Library folders that don't get copied across.
Full install from the original media is the correct way to do it.
If you see the repeated request for the serial number on a properly installed FCS suite, follow the path below and delete the file marked in the right column.
Now open one of the FCS apps and enter your serial for the last time.

ITunes Asks For My Password Every Time It Opens

Running Mac OSX 10.10.1 (Yosemite) and iTunes 12.0.1.26
Every time I open iTunes, it asks me for my password. It asks for it usually four times:
-to enable automatic downloads (twice, not always in succession)
- to enable iTunes Radio
- And to enable downloads
I've asked this before with no success and no solutions.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Like Jassy, this is a relatively new issue. I hate to say it, but it seemed to coincide with my Mavericks update. I doubt it's because of that, specifically, but it was around the same time. I really think it's some kind of Safari/iTunes issue.
I actually don't understand what you mean by an active internet connection being the problem. I'm only on line when my Mac is turned on and (I assume) when I'm on email or browsing the web. I don't have any connections set up when I'm not actively on line. But even so, I don't know wh that would cause me to have to log in to iTunes (four times in rapid succession) every time I clear my browser history.
That seems to be the one thing that causes it though - clearing my Safari History. If I don't clear it, iTunes doesn't require me to log back in. Only when I clear it does iTunes make me do those four log ins.
Hope that helps clarify this. I'm not a real whiz at this.

HT204085 Keep being asked for keychain id every time I open a new web page. How can I get this to stop?

First I was locked out of my computer. I followed some advice on how to delete keychain folder and make a new login keychain, which worked, but now I am constatnly being asked to put in the ID. How can I make this stop?

Open Firefox -> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "No Style"
Now the pages will open in your suggested font sizes. Check and tell if its working.

Adobe has changed the format for the Adobe Chat contact, but it should be working "under the hood" the same...let us see what they have done with the tried and true route...
You should be seeing the following first in your path to Adobe Chat
When you click on the area where it says
Chat
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
you should then see the following
Fill in the required information. Then...
At this point, you should be able to click on "Start Chat" and begin the communicate with Adobe Chat on
the top of "Serial numbers and redemption codes"
Is that not happening? As you see, I got that far with the path, but stopped short of hitting "Start Chat".
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
Regards
Jason

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.

Yes, I have a TLP license, so which kind of upgrade should I buy?

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
1/4/11 11:31:52 AM [0x0-0x1b01b].com.apple.logic.pro[150] ECMemReserve: allocating in MainStage mode
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
