Lost my cs3 product key and cant upgrade

Hi,
I have a copy of cs3, which i have upgraded to cs4. I have got a new compter and tried to install cs4. Enterd the prodkey for cs4. I (think) i have the right code. But its for a suite, and i only need flash moved over and its only the flash thats been upgraded. Iv tried entering the suite key and it hasnt worked. Any suggestions. I want to upgrade to cs5. But if cs4 isnt registered on this machine im assuming it will ask for the cs4 product key, then the cs3? Or if im upgrading to cs5 will it only ask for the cs4 key. Even though its an upgrade key! Sorry alot of questions there. Hope it all made sense!
Many thanks

Hi
First of all the Win 7 key which you can find on the bottom belongs to the preinstalled image.
This is Win 7 key. Your Win 7 system was already activated by default
Now to Win 8 upgrade:
Visit this Toshiba EU Win 8 upgrade page to get details:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/windows8-message
The Win 8 upgrade is available if you have purchased a PC preloaded with genuine Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013.
If your notebook is was NOT purchased between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013 you will not be able to upgrade Win 7 to Win 8 but you will need to purchase the full Win 8 version.
The key would be supplied by Microsoft via mail.

  • Question about Win7 product key and Win8 upgrade

    Please correct me if i am wrong .
    I have got the impression that this is a general product key found on the back of many laptops HYF8J-CVRMY-CM74G-RPHKF--****
    if i bought the win 8 upgrade and it activated on my *desktop* (supposing i installed win7 using this key) what does that mean? since this is a general key on many laptops.
    Does it mean that I am legally eligible to the upgrade?

  • Can I download Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium on a new Mac if I've had it installed on my old one since December 2011? I have the product key and serial number.

    I bought a new Macbook Pro 13 inch in December 2011 and I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium shortly after and installed it on the computer.  The other day my friend spilled his drink on my computer and it is now going to cost me $800 to get it fixed so I am considering getting a new one instead of getting mine fixed I'm not sure if the memory is still ok or not either.  It didn't get that wet and Apple told me it is more than likely ok but there is no guarantee that they are going to keep the memory when they fix it.  So I was wondering if I get a new one if I can install the Suite on the new one I still have the product key and serial number for the Suite.  Or if I decide to get mine fixed and the memory is swept, then can I reinstall it on mine after it is fixed?  If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank You

  • I received an order number, a product key, and a password but no serial number.  Now I cannot access Adobe Premiere Elements 13 because it asks me for a serial number.

    I bought and installed Adobe Premiere Elements 13.  The download email provided me with an order number, a product key and a password.  I never received a serial number.  When I attempted to access the software, it required a serial number.  I now cannot use this product because I never received a serial number.

    The suggestion provided by Kglad is information on how to redeem your redemption code.  Did you purchase from Adobe directly?  If not then it is likely you received a redemption code as opposed to a serial number.
    If your order is from Adobe directly then you serial number will be located under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find additional details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • I just bought a used XP Home Edition program that has been installed before. Will I be able to install this again on my computer or is it only a one time use software? I have the Product Key and CD.

    I just bought a used XP Home Edition software program that has been installed before. I have the Product Key and installation disc. Will I be able to install it on my own computer? Or, is this software (purchased retail) a one time install? Please advise.

    Depends on many things.
    If your system is Lion, XP can only be installed under VM.  BootCamp in Lion only accepts Windows 7.
    As to "one use only", if you are referring to OEM ...
    A reinstall can trigger the OS to "not register" because "a major component serial number or MAC (the network MAC chip) address" has changed, according to MS databases.
    But you can call MS to get the key reactivated, usually/sometimes.  It is worth a try, at least, before spending money on another Windows 7 package.  But this discussion should end *now* at "maybe" as it treads close to matters that forum Terms-of-Use would prefer we not discuss.

  • Win 8 product key and a pre-installed Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13, how to get it?

    Hello
    I live in Finland and I have read previously that these Windows 8 product keys are now linked somehow with motherboard´s BIOS systems, so we actually don´t need to know our product codes anymore.
    Well, in some cases we do need to know them.
    My Windows asked me once if I want to install a new version to get some new features, the same procedure can be launched by going to your Control panel, selecting System and selecting the top option where it says you could update to a new version to unlock new features.
    This requires a 25-digit Windows 8 product key. Which we Yoga 13 owners do not have, as it is somewhere in the BIOS, hidden from us.
    How can I give my product key to this field if I do not know it?
    1. Called to Microsoft
    I tried contacting Microsoft Finland about this, but their automatic phone service stated it was none of their concern as it is a pre-installed system, and therefore I need to contact Lenovo straight. I tried to get a person to talk to, but I got none. Always an automatic service. I called to their switch (is this the right word?) to ask if I could get a person to talk to, but the number she forwarded me to always got to an automatic robot, again.
    2. Lenovo Customer support
    Well, Lenovo directs customers to this forum from their customer service web page, so I hope some Lenovo employee can finally answer this question, please. I value customer service, and getting an answer from another forum using customer is not really customer service when they suggest using some 3rd party software to maybe get your windows 8 key with a method that may not be the most fancy way if asked from Microsoft. Lenovo Finland in Espoo (near Helsinki, contacts here: http://www.fonecta.fi/yritykset/Espoo/792365/Lenovo+Finland) has a phone number that hangs up every time you try to call it, I tried 4 times. This is getting awkward, you know.
    Thank you,
    - Tapio

    When they ask for that key, they are expecting an upgrade key to something like Windows 8 Pro or addition of a Media Center Key. They don't expect you to use the same Key you are already using. It won't work.
    Anyhow, take a look at this:

  • Product Key and Phone-in Windows Validation

    Hello I have installed Win10 Eval on two different computers,
    the other day the first one decided to update itself to the latest version.
    Upon completion, it started to ask for Windows Validation, so I did a search
    to get the appropriate key and entered it with success using the "slui 3" command.
    So  I decided to try the "slui 4" command and got the expected dial 800 # to automated phone support.
    I called in and entered all the digits from all the boxes, and started to enter the valid codes in their A-G boxes,
    except that there is supposed to be an H box, and there was none. I did this twice.
    Even got the live person elevated phone support, they then transferred me to something called option 4 I think,
    but the phone dialer didn't transfer the call properly, and the call was dropped.
    Basically this is just to let you know that Box H was missing, but the dropped support call could be an issue as well.
    I love the way the latest build installs straight from the disk, clean.
    I also think that it comes off as very intuitive even as its installing, no more boring status bars, praying for it to reach the other side!!
    Keep up the great work!!
    Thanks for the opportunity to help.

    .................ok so on the clean install, it seems to have activated itself without asking for the key entry.
    That is the way it should be. By default, it is supposed to activate automatically. Only in rare circumstance one would be asked to enter the product key.
    ................is there any way to prevent it from doing it.
    I'm sorry. I don't understand the question. Preventing it to do What ?
    Prevent it from asking to activate ? If yes, like I said, it is supposed to get activated automatically.
    ................I will try again just to be sure.
    You find enjoyment installing, don't you ? 2 hours of installing is not my cup of tea.
    Well, enjoy.

  • Product Key and install windows 8.1 process on HP 15 TS notebook PC

    Hello
    I want to reinstall windows on my HP 15 TS Notebook PC, using a DVD with Windows 8.1 from my Desktop PC since i dont have the recovery disks. Is this possible? How can i find out the Product Key since the notebook doesnt have any sticker on it?
    Is the procedure as every installation of windows or i need to do anything extra?
    thanks in advance

    HI @Wildjohn 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    The Windows 8.1 disk from the desktop is it Windows disk or is it  a recovery disk you created from the desktop.
    If it is a Windows disk you should have a product code with the disk.  If it is a recovery disk it will not work.
    Although you did not create recovery disk if you did not delete the recovery partition you can recover the original OS using it.
    How to Perform an HP System Recovery
    If you did delete the recovery partition, I suggest contacting HP support to obtain a recovery kit.  The key would automatically be picked up from where it is  stored in the bios.

  • You have changed my product key and now microsoft is asking me for activation product key that doesn't match what you have changed. and it clearly stated that you changed my product key... please fix this!

    I'v had my laptop for 9 years. I have been running Mozilla maybe for a year with updates. microsoft Automatic updates are set. Then, yesterday, for no reason at all, Microsoft asks me for my product key activation. Made some research and found out that my microsoft is genuine, however, it has not been activated!!! I found it really strange. When I wanted to put my product key registration, they say it is invalid. So, I made some research by going on the link they offered on the activation screen which brought me to be able to browse the internet. When I made research, I found out through the "test if your product is genuine", there is a product key that is different than what I have. They say I have product key xxxxx-xxxxx-T6DFB-Y934T-YD4YT. it clearly says it is 100 genuine but was not activated! After 9 years? I saw they wrote that my browser states mozilla. am not sure why this is happening. how can my product key change without my authorization? how can I not be able to enter my own computer anymore? why isn't my product activated? can you help me? can't contact microsoft without paying $49/hr or something like that... I don't have a credit card...

    Mozilla has nothing to do with a Microsoft product activation key.
    That "test" page should be viewed in Internet Explorer and not with Firefox, as it may use ActiveX which isn't compatible with any Mozilla product.
