Lost CS3 serial number and email I used from that purchase is no longer valid, now I cannot reinstall my CS5 after wiping my hard drive clean from a computer problem.

Bought CS3 about 7 years ago under an email address that's been closed for many years and I lost the serial number from that old CS3 and now after doing a clean wipe of my hard drive after some computer glitches, I can no longer install CS5 upgrade as I cannot produce the CS3 serial number. No monkey business, I've been using CS5 since 2011 when I bought it directly from Adobe. What are my options?

Is it possible for you to log in to your OLD Adobe account using that email address to check your history?
https://www.adobe.com/account.html for serial numbers or subscriptions on your Adobe page
If not, you MAY be able to have an employee look up the information linked to that old email address
Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html may help
-Select your product and what you need help with
-Click on the blue box "Still need help? Contact us"
If that doesn't work, you are going to have to buy new... either a subscription or Creative Suite 6

  • Lost CS3 serial number and installation disc

    I am re-installing Adobe CS3 Master Suite to a new PC. The original installation on the old PC was done by someone who have left the company and also the installation CDs and serial number are not able to be located.
    I have since manage to download the CS3 software from Adobe website, but I forsee I'll be stuck when they prompt me for the serial number. I don't have the Adobe ID the former employee used to sign in to the Adobe website or make the purchases. Can you please advice?
    Also, at which stage do I deactivate the CS3 from the old PC and activate the CS3 on the new PC?  Can I first activate the CS3 on the new PC first while ensuring that the old PC is powered off and not being accessed in order to ensure that the CS3 is working fine before I deactivate the CS3 on the old PC.

    A single user license allows for activated installations on two machines.  So you can leave the original installation working while you figure out what you can do to turn the former employee's software into yours.  I do not see a solution myself if the former employee purchased the software and used their own Adobe ID for it.  The company should have managed that aspect if the plan was to retain ownership of it.  You might have to contact the former employee to get the software license properly transferred.

  • I have lost my serial number and disk for lightroom 3

    I have lost my serial number and disk for lightroom 3 and I need it - I have since upgraded to v5 but have gotten a new laptop and want to install lightroom on there.  I have my order number from 2011 for v3 AD003916979.  How can I get my old serial number?

    On you other machine with Lr5 installed or Lr3 installed search for a file on you computer called "Lightroom 3.0 Registration" or "Lightroom 5.0 Registration".  You may have to search for hidden/system files.   These files contain your Serial Numbers in plain text.
    Otherwise, if your order number is from Adobe you can log in with your account to see your purchased products or contact Adobe with that order number.

  • Hello! I am attempting to register a product, my iPad, to my adobe products with its serial number and I am being told that the serial number is invalid. I am certain that the serial number is correct, and am unsure how to proceed.

    apart from the fact there's no way I could have answered your question confidently, I was also not able to supply my non-answer within your very tight time constraints.
    what happened? how'd you get on?

  • I lost the serial number and I can't find it on my email or adobe account?

    I need the serial number that goes with the lightroom 5 i have now to upgrade to lightroom 6 and can't find the serial number anywhere they say it should be.

    Hi there
    Did you purchase a download version of Lightroom 5 directly from Adobe?  If so, it would be registered to the account used to make the purchase.
    For other purchase methods please check https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

  • I have lost my serial number and need to find it, or get a new one.

    PS CS3 was installed and used successfully, until my teenager crashed my computer. I still have all of the icons in place, but I am not able to activate them. The box is long gone, along with the serial number How can I work through to find the serial number, or what technical instructions would helpful to solving this inherited issue. Many thanks for input!!!!!

    Go to Adobe.com sign in withe your Adobe User ID and the use this link Adobe ID . That should retrieve a list of your Adobe products. When the list is displayed click on your CS3 product to retrieve your serial number.

  • If a gift card has been redeemed, could I know when was it redeemed? (PS: I have the serial number and the redeem code of that card)

    plz

    You can't see a list of when gift cards were redeemed onto an account, you can only see what has been purchased on the account (which doesn't distinguish between how items were paid for).
