Lost CS3 serial number, please help

I'm behind the times but I have been using CS3 for quite some time and only installed the trial of Creative Cloud a couple of days ago, but for some reason when I try to use CS3, which I'm quite happy with, I no longer have the serial number installed and I can't find my disc for the number. Please help.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your iPod's serial number address from your post.
Only you can activate your iPod by typing in your id and password, or you can remove a device from your account via http://icloud.com . If you can't remember your account id then do you have any of its downloads on your computer's iTunes : Recovering a forgotten iTunes Store account name ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com . You can also reset your password via the 'iforgot' site, or you can contact Support in your country and they should be able to reset your password (as long as you can prove your id and that it's your account) : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
iOS 7 and activation lock : iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
What if I forget my Apple ID password?
If you forget your password, you can reset it at My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) or by contacting Apple Support and verifying your identity. Once your password has been reset, it will work normally with Find My iPhone and Activation Lock.
If you forget your password and cannot reset it, you will lose access to your Apple ID and may be unable to use or reactivate your device. To help prevent this, visit My Apple ID periodically to review and update your account information.

Lost CS3 serial number and email I used from that purchase is no longer valid, now I cannot reinstall my CS5 after wiping my hard drive clean from a computer problem.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

Adobe PS5.1 will not accept serial number - please help!!

Hello,
I am really frustrated about my new Photoshop CS5.1.
When I installed the s/w, I entered the serial number. All was working ok until it decided I was on a trial and asked me to enter the serial number again. When I entered the serial number, it gave me an error saying the serial number is invalid.
I tried the uninstall and install again - but to no avail.
Now the "trial period" has expired and I cannot work with the product anymore. With a bunch of customer deadlines, I am stuck. This is really frustrating for a product that cost so much to purchase.
Please help.

If you registered the software you should be able to find the serial number thru your Adobe account online.

To help address performance issues the Identi-e web site is currently down for maintenance. If you are trying to redeem a product code to obtain your serial number for the Student & Teacher edition of our software you will currently be unable to do so. We would recommend installing the software in trial mode for the moment until the maintenance period is complete.

Every time I open one of my CS6 Products I have to re-enter my serial number. Help Please.

Every time I open Photoshop, Illustrator or any other CS6 product I have to re-enter my serial number. Help Please!

Upgrade from CS3 to CS4 won't accept CS3 serial number

Hi
I bought a downloadable upgrade to CS4 Design Premium a couple of weeks ago, installed OK, accepted the new serial number but when it asked for my CS3 serial number it won’t accept it. I have contacted Adobe Support and they told me that I needed to reinstall as they thought that it was doing this because I hadn’t chosen International English as the language and my original CS3 was set to International English. I did this but it still won’t accept my old serial number and I am having to use the programmes as a trial version. I have contacted Adobe again but it has been a week now and no response – has anyone else had this problem? I am getting concerned about what will happen when the trial runs out!
Thanks for your help
Message was edited by Jochem van Dieten: removed attached image with serial number

Downloaded OK – Installed OK – when I open any of the programmes I get a Software Setup box that opens asking to choose the option of using the product on a trial basis or inputting my serial number – I input the new CS4 serial number and that is OK – then you click next and it brings up an Upgrade Check asking you to select a product that you already own (this is only a drop down menu of CS3 items, i.e. Design Premium, Master Collection etc) and asking you to input the serial number for this product – this is where it is falling over – I input my old CS3 serial number and I get a cross and a box that comes up saying <The serial number you have entered does not match the product you have selected. Please try reentering the serial number, or selecting a different product from which to upgrade> this is where I am putting in my CS3 Design Premium serial number and it won’t accept it even though it is correct and is even listed under my Adobe Account as CS3 Design Premium!
Hope that makes more sense

What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product as mentioned above, start by logging in to your adobe account. (Go to Adobe .com and click “Sign In” in the upper-right menu bar. Enter the email you use as your Adobe ID and your password.) All of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section on the Manage Accounts page that appears.
For more information on locating or registering serial numbers, please see this link: Find a serial number

Hello, I lost the serial number of Photoshop Elements 6 and I lost the box.

Hello, I lost the serial number of Photoshop Elements 6 and I lost the box. How can I do thanks for the help.

Did you ever install and register it? If so, you can find the serial number by going to the main page of adobe.com and looking for My Adobe (it was up by the search box on the upper right the last time I looked, but it moves around). Work through the links there and you can retrieve it from adobe's records. You might want to consider writing it on the disc itself for future reference.
