Lost Serial Number- Not in Account!

So I used to have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my old windows computer. Since then, I have gotten a Mac computer.
My disk and serial number are with my mother, two hours away. The serial number could help me out a ton, but the problem is my moms really mad at me for going to college so she doesn't speak to me yada yada.
I do have an email from Adobe saying
"Dear Claire,
Thank you for purchasing and registering your copy of Adobe® Photoshop® CS4. You now have a wealth of creative tools at your disposal. While taking advantage of online resources, we also encourage you to select a complimentary benefit. At Adobe we want you to get the most out of your software—it's our commitment to you."
But in my adobe account, it doesn't show the product, possibly because my grandma bought it as a gift for me, but its registered with my account.
Any ideas on how I can get it back??

Sign in with the Adobe ID and password you registered it under.
Photoshop is listed under My Products
Before Photoshop you will see a right pointing triangle. Click on it and you will see the serial number.
There is still one problem, the serial number is for a PC and will not work on a Mac
CS4 can't be exchanged for a Mac license nor can it be upgraded.
If you have a problem with finances, and still need Photoshop, the Photography Plan will allow you the use of the latest Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 monthly and can be used on 2 computers, PC or Mac. https://creative.adobe.com/plans/photography?promoid=KLZIZ

How do I download software that I've added its serial number to my account. Lost disc.

How do I download software that I've added its serial number to my account. I no longer have the disc.
When I go to my apps, it just lists them with their serial numbers but no download link.
What I've gleened from the download instructions imply I can only download apps which I've purchased online.
What's the point of assosiating the serial with my account if I can't do anything wth it? A glorified note pad?

don't knock glorified note pads. at least, you have your serial numbers.
if you follow all 7 steps you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).

I have Adobe Design Standard CS6 purchased 2013 with serial number but cannot find to download it onto a new mac laptop. When I try and add the 24-digit serial number to my account it doesn't seem to work?

You can also download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
Thank you,
Maryanne

Hi Maryanne,
This is now resolved. The bundle has been added to your account and you should have received an e-mail notification confirming this.

Purchased new mac, but lost serial number and no longer have access to registered email. Help

Hi,
As the subject header states, I purchased new mac, but lost my serial number and no longer have access to registered email. I had purchased the Creative Suite Web and Design C6 version. Support said they can only forward my lost serial number to the registered email. Since she was without effective tools, she recommended I post something on the forums for support. Anyone have the ability to get me back to using my suite?
Thank you,
Philip

Only the person(s) you spoke to have the ability to provide you with the serial number. People here can merely suggest where to look for it. If you registered your software when you installed it originally then you should be able to find your serial number stored in your Adobe account online in the Products section.
You might want to try updating your information in your account if the email is the only thing holding back from getting the info sent to you.

Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to install acrobat 9, i get a message invalid serial number, even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

Had to have my computer wiped clean due to virus infection. In trying to re-install acrobat 9, i get a message "invalid serial number", even though it is the serial number in my account. What to do?

there is a lot of info at that link. by checking that link you'll see that serial number only works for the exact product for which it was purchased.
ie, if you purchase acrobat 9 std, you need to use acrobat 9 std installation files, not acrobat 9 pro.

Why is my serial number not working, it says it is invalid. I have checked and it is correct

The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

6th gen ipod nano serial number not being recognised by support

I have just tried to register my 6th gen ipod nano on Apple's website and I get a message that says the number is not recognised, recheck and try again. At first used number from nano box, then tried again after connecting nano to computer (same number appears of course) but still not being recognised. The fact that the serial number is not being recognised is not helpful when you need help from support as they also require this information before they will contact you. Why is my nano's serial number not being recognised? More to the point, how do I get apple to recognise it?

Are you sure aren't mistaking I's for 1's or O's of 0s?
If you head to Settings - General -> About, does it list the same serial # there?

HT200276 HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO

HOW WILL I GET THE LOST SERIAL NUMBER OF FINAL CUT STUDIO ???

It's on the back of the installation booklet. If you've lost that, and have some proof of purchase, it can probably be sorted out by contacting Apple.

I try to access my new Adobe Pro XI download to use it, and a message says "serial number not valid" or words to that effect. I downloaded on Friday afternoon.

Hi:
No, I don't. I'm from Joisey, but now live in Illinois.
Been to Queens many times back, in the day. Can you still go over the QB Bridge for free?
I miss the NY style pizza. I go home once a year for my pizza "fix."
Let your fingers do the walking thru the yellow pages, is my only recommendation (or online).
"HP computer repairs," is how I would search by.
