LR from CC, but asking for Serial Number! Pls help! URGENT!!!

I have LR and PS as part of my Photography Subscription to Adobe CC.
I was having a problem with LR, so I downloaded a trial version from the site and installed.
Now LR asks me for a Serial Number when I run the software. I don't have a Serial Number since this was part of the CC Subscription!
How do I revert my LR back to the normal - running from CC.
Pls help urgently! I have aclient deliverable tomorrow morning ...

Thanks for the guidance.
Uninstalling and re-installing thorugh CC was the plan that came to my mind as well. But I'm reluctant to go that path coz I'm thinking I will lose all my collections etc that I've created over a period of time once I uninstall the current LR. And therefore I'll lose the thread of edits I've made to my pictures, the selections etc. How can I avoid that loss?
I have backed up my catalog though - I think I should be able to retrieve all those collection/selection information from that catalog?
Another question.
Broadband at home has been down for the last couple of days. So I'm not able to download the LR from CC on my desktop at home.
Can I login to CC from another computer at a friends place, download LR and take it home on USB and install on my desktop? I could sign in to CC once my Internet is back and running.
Is that an option?
Thanks for all the help once again. Look forward to some more guidance pls.

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade from CS4 continually asks for serial number.

    I purchased an upgrade from Photoshop CS 4 to Photoshop CS 6 directly from Adobe in December of 2012. (My version of CS4 was originally purchased by me as part of a CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    My CS4 version has worked since 2009 with no licensing issues.
    I did not install the upgradeto CS6  immediately, I just installed it in August of this year, but I do not think that the problem stems from my delay in installation.
    What happens is that every 6-8 times that I open the program, I get a screen asking me to "License Creative Cloud", which I do NOT want.
    The only options I am given are: Join Now, License This Product, or Continue Trial.
    If I simply X out of the screen, Photoshop CS6 will not open at all.
    If I click: License This Product, I get a sign-in screen that asks for my serial number, which I fill in and then my program opens.
    I have tried customer support 3 times - one chat and 2 phone calls (all lasting at least 1 hour each time) and I am not getting the correct help to solve this issue.
    I am extremely frustrated and outraged that I am bothered by this stupid issue.
    Please help me to stop this screen about Creative Cloud from appearing and from having to constantly input my serial number.

  • Bought logic pro 9.1.7 online for new MBP with mountain Lion, but asked for serial number. Where could I get SN?

    How can I get the SN for an online version of Logic Pro bought from AppStore?
    Thanks!

    good news. The trick is to delete the "logic pro 9" by dragging the App from Finder->Applications to trash bin, and re-doanload and re-install it again. Now it's happily downloading 19GB contents without asking for SN.
    Thanks Pancenter for your message. This is is brand-new MBP with Retina display, and I didn't find or delete and reg file for logic. Simply delete the app under installation (not in the launch pad, see above) and re-install. It works for the 2nd try. It could be a SW integration bug.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • I have purchased Photoshop CC but I'm still unable to download and open lightroom, it still asks for serial number?

    Can any one help me being able to download LR as I've purchased photoshop and lightroom, but i'm still unable to open lightroom it keeps asking for serial number and won't open.
    Regards
    Jason

    Uninstall the serial-number LR5, the one you have installed, now, then quit the CC Desktop application (gear/quit or right-click quit), then restart the CC Desktop application, which will rescan and see that LR is no longer installed, and will offer LR in the CC Desktop apps list with an Install button next to it, so install that version.

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.
