Lost CS4 serial number/s... ?

I've lost track of the serial number/s of my Adobe CS4 (and earlier). I need them for upgrading and transferring to the new iMac that I hope to purchase to replace my ancient 2006 MacBook.
I have a couple of possible old serial numbers noted down but it doesn't say what they're for, so I don't know if it/they will work or are even relevant. I can't afford to lose access to my CS as I use it for illustration/design work, but I desperately need a new computer – yet I can't buy one until I figure out the CS4 problem, as that's what I mostly use my computer for!
NB I don't want to move to Creative Cloud as it is beyond the needs (and its ongoing costs are way beyond the budget) of small fry like me, so intend to stick with the physical version of CS, though a newer one would be nice. Sadly, Adobe does not offer phone support for old CS, so grateful for any helpful suggestions – thanks.

    I have lost my serial number for my logic 8. I have the box and discs but seem to be missing the crucial bit. Anyway, I only found out as I am trying to upgrade to Logic 9 which i just bought and it needs the serial number for 8 as well.
    How can I go about finding it or getting a new one etc.

  • Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

    Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

    Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
    BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
    Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
    Problem somehow resolved itself?!

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • How Do I Find My Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number?

    How do i find dreamweaver cs4 serial number?

    If it's registered, you would just log into your Adobe account and it will be listed there under Applications and Subscriptions.
    Otherwise, it's either on your installation disk, or in the original email (which you printed and saved for future use, right?) that you got when you purchased the download from your online retailer of choice.
    If none of the above, you're probably stuck, Adobe no longer supports CS4.

  • Cannot activate CS4 serial number

    Is anyone else having problems with activating CS4 serial number. I bought a student version of CS4 recieved my serial number after verifying student status, upon entering the serial number it was rejected, I tried unistalling the application and reinstalling, same result. I went onto the Adobe website to contact them, it is so hard to do that. I tried the 1800 Australia number only to be told by a recorded message that the office hours closed at 5pm it was 430 pm when I called (I made allowances for daylight saving time). I need help as I want to use CS4 but can't. I have checked that I have entered the numbers correctly and included the dashes where appropriate.

    Thanks Bob, but I'm nearing the end of the 30 days and I bought this for my son for Christmas so I'm getting a bit antsy to have this problem resolved. I also think it is crazy that I phoned the support line half an hour prior to closing time and received a recorded message (I allowed for day light saving time) stating that they were closed. Margie

    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

  • 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
