Lost Serial Number for Elements 9

I just flattened and rebuilt my PC with windows 8. On going to install Photoshop, I realized i have lost the insall media and serial. Unfortunately i bought in a bricks and mortar store and did not register the product.
I do however have a complete backup of my pc before i formatted it (in case i wanted to go baco to my old configuration). I can see all my programs etc in the backup, including Adobe Photoshop ELements 9.
Is it possible for me to get my key/serial number from this backup?

No the serial number would be on the back of the CD/DVD box. It may be worth trying PSE11 free for 30 days and if you like it you would qualify for the upgrade price. If you also shoo video, the combo PSE11/PRE11 is very good value.

How canI get my serial number for Elements 11? Does anyone know how to help me. I did puchase it sometime ago but lost all computer data and had to replace computer. Hope someone can help.

If you have no record of it at your end, the only place you might find it is at Adobe's end via logging into your Adobe account and seeing if it is listed there. If you registered the software it should be.
Beyond that your only hope might be to have Adobe support check your information to see if the software/serial number is available and if it can be given to you. Try contacting them by chat or telephone.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

Invalid serial number for element 12 [was:Larueski]

Invaled serial number for element 12

It should be a 24-digit number commencing 1057 (DO NOT POST THE NUMBER IN THESE FORUMS). If it's alpha-numeric you have a redemption code that you must convert to a serial number following the appropriate instructions at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/redemption-code-help.html#productboxorprepaidcar d.
If it is a '1057' number, then you should start a Chat with Adobe at http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html.

How do I retrieve lost serial number for Lightroom 5, was not registered on Adobe, just have the number on inside box of Lightroom

Will it be possible to retrieve a Lightroom 5 serial number if you lost it and was not registered on Adobe? But I have the number on the inside box of Lightroom 5 only?

Refer to this webpage for the locations of various LR files, paying attention to the one that says Serial Number:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
Go to the folder it says, and open the .lrreg file with a text editor, like Notepad or Wordpad, and look for the serial number that will be 6 groups of 4 digits beginning with 1160. Don’t post the serial-number here, of course, as this is a public forum.
If you have had more than one LR version on your computer, e.g. LR3 or LR4, there may be more than one serial number to determine, as you’ll need an older serial-number if your LR5 one is an upgrade.

I cannot get a working serial number for Elements 9. Adobe and Dell keep sending me back and forth

Elements 9 worked fine. It had been preloaded by Dell. I had a hard drive go bad and put in a new one. When I re-installed it Elements said the serial was invalid. Dell says it is an Adobe license and I must deal with them. Adobe sent me to the point of purchase (Dell). Dell says the yellow sticker on the disc sleeve was attached by Adobe and the serial number on it was assigned by them. If that is the case Adobe should rectify this. I paid for a product and nobody has been willing to help me out. I've spent 2 hours going back and forth with Adobe and an hour with Dell. This crap is giving me an upset stomach.

and it's not likely anyone in a forum can solve this for you.
you might let someone else try entering that license number (should be 6 groups of 4 digits). sometimes the fingers and brain do and see something repeatedly and miss the obvious.

Lost serial Number for FCE 2

I have the disc, The app is installed on my comp, but I have lost the serial number to 'reinstall' after an upgrade to OS 10.5.8.
When I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8, I thought it only upgraded the system - but no it wiped: Mail, Pics, iTunes and a host of apps. which I am slowly trying to re-install.
I'm looking for the Serial number of my Final Cut Express 2 - I cannot find a FCE2 community - Is there a way to retrieve the number ?

Thank you David.
I regret having upgraded at all with the grief it's given me in apps that are 'dead'. Losing all my Mail, ditto iTunes 1000 numbrs - Playlists and Pictures - 30000.
Lucky I had pic backups and all my tunes are on CD.
Silly me I thought that upgrades only upgraded the system didn't realise that it wiped the system clean.
Luckily my eMac cannot upgrade any higher so I will not have to worry about reloading all my apps with a next upgrade.

Invalid serial number for Elements 9 worked fine before

I Had to change a bad hard drive. Before that my Photoshop Elements 9 worked fine. Now I get a message the number is invalid. I paid for it with a new Dell computer and Adobe won't help. These keep passing me to Dell even though it is their serial number on their yellow sticker and Dell acquired it legitimately.

TThey passed the buck back and forth I would think Adobe would be responsible since it was their number affixed on their sticker. Either way they should have shown good will. I sent them scans of the sleeve, order form from Dell, and email saying it shipped. I did not have a 2.5 year old receipt but it should have been obvious after my first couple hours of "patience" that I wasn't full of crap.

Invalid serial number for Elements 8

I am trying to avtivate/register my Elements 8 but keep on telling me that the serial number is invalid. When I open the program I found the serial number under Help/ product registration, but as mentioned when I try to register this number it says it invalid. I tried the live chat but the person there cannot help me for some reason. All I want to know is where on the product do I find the correct serial number. I dont have the box or papers anymore. The program worked for many years, but now whan to use it on another PC.

Sorry, but you may need to buy PSE11. It will be a good investment on a new computer and there have been quite a few new tools and improvements since PSE8.
In fact Adobe often includes bundled versions with hardware in the hope that users will become future customers.

Lost Serial Number For Final Cut Express 3.5

Okay, here's the story. A long time ago (Like a year), on the left side of the finder window where library, documents, applications, etc. is, for some reason I accidentally dragged out the library icon. About a month ago I took the library icon from in the finder window into the left side of the finder bar. When I logged out and logged back in, my whole account had been reset. I was able to recover all my data, because it did not delete the data, it had only moved it. But all my applications were reset, including Final Cut Express 3.5. I have not used it since today. Today I tried to open FCE, and it asked me for my serial number. Since all my applications were reset, FCE thought this was the first time it was being opened. To get to the point, I no longer have the serial number. I looked for the information so I could get a new serial number (Support page URL http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861), but I could not find the information. If I can never find the information, I can never open the application again unless I buy a new copy. If anyone can help me in any way to fix this problem that would be VERY helpful. Thank you.

If you have lost the serial number the only thing you can do is contact Apple with some kind of proof of purchase.
