Message: "Please Enter Your Original Serial Number"

I have Aperture 3.2.2 running on my Mac Pro. I have in the past purchased Aperture 1, then 2, then 3.
I then did the updgrade to 3.2.2
I have the serial numbers of 1 & 2 and the serial number for the 3.2.2. I have the three install disks but unable to locate the one for 3.0.
Using SuperDuper I have backed up my Mac Pro to my MacBook and the 3.2.2 was duly transferred over.
However, when I try to start Aperture 3.2.2 on my MacBook, I get a window requiring me to enter my serial number.
I enter the serial number I have for the 3.2.2 upgrade, but it is refused and I am asked for the original serial number - which I take
to be the 3.0 ... tried the 1, 2 & 3.2.2 numbers all to no avail.
I can't recall how I installed 3.0 as I have no disks here on file, although it is obvious I couldn't have used the upgrade disk if I didn't
have 3.0 legit on my MacPro.
Tried to contact Apple to straighten this out but unable to get a live person on the line.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Regards
Ron

Usually you should install Aperture from the original media, but if you do no longer have the install disk, try these links:

  • Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey

    I just re-installed Logic Pro on my new Mac, but upon launching, it asks me for serial #.  Apparently, I'm using the "upgrade" serial, so after I put in the number, it says "Please enter your original serial number, or insert your logic XSkey".  I've searched my big Logic 8 box, but all I have are manuals and disks, with no serial #.  I can't find the old dongle either, since I've been using without it on my previous computer.  How do I get past this?

    Thanks for that post Bee Jay,
    Just tried doing this, didn't work, after closing logic and re-opening without the XSKey it brings up the same 2 boxes, first to insert my upgrade serial and then the original serial. I really hope there is going to be an upgrade to fix this problem as otherwise it looks like ill be stuck with XSKey after all.

  • Please enter a valid serial number error

    Hi, I have tried to register Adobe Photoshop Extended cs6 Windows using the Serial Number that came with the product. Every time I tried enter the serial number I received an error message "Please enter a valid Serial Number". How come Adobe does not recognise their own serial number?

    Hi Ashutosh,
    I am talking about registering the product in MyAdobe not the application. The application accepts the serial number, however, online registration is not accepted. The myAdobe ID is [email protected] and the serial number is [serial number removed]. I have 2 adobe IDs how can I transfer the applications from one ID to my preferred ID and have the [email protected] ID removed? Sorry for the two questions.

    The original serial number should be in the box with the installer disk.
    If you cannot locate the serial number, contact Apple for a replacement serial number. You will need to provide a proof of purchase.

    P.S. The menu command "Aperture > About Aperture" will show you your Aperture 3 serial number on your old mac, but not the previous serial numbers.

  • Bought PSE13, the box has activation code but it says enter a valid serial number

    I bought PSE 13 in box with a CD. It has an activation code but it says to get a serial number on www.adobe. When I open my account, it says add a new product then enter code, I enter the 24 digit code (alpha and numbers) i have on a card in the package but it says the number is not valid. What can I do to install my new software ? Pierre

    Thanks, unfortunately, I already followed that procedure as it was written on the box containing the disk.
    A card inside the box said : obtaining the serial number : 1) go to ... www.adobe.com/go/getserial (OK done) 2) use the code joined (a code included is written "ACTIVATION CODE") 3) note the serial number that will appear 4) use the serial number.
    The procedure shows : Register your product at Adobe (OK I clic) then it opens my account, it says (plus) + Register new product : (OK, I clic)   then appears : "Enter your product serial number,  since I dont have the SERIAL number, that I'm supposed to receive, I enter the Activation code : 55Y3- C4A2 etc   maybe the problem is this, but I doubt : there is a 4 digit like this : 78O(O with a cross bar)D and next - 6F80 (look like zero, without the cross bar)- then 4 other digits.  then it shows in blue color : Please enter a valid SERIAL number.  I have tried 0 (zero) and o (letter O) nothing works.  What I dont understand is that it is supposed to give me the serial number and why is it asking me ? I tried different manners
    . I tried to get support on the week end it said mondy to friday, OK I treid this afternoon it was written : no chat available)
    So I tried the forum expert.  I had already version 12 with my PC, but I wanted to avoid problem so I bought a new version 13 for my Mac. Pierre

  • I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

    I purchased and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. After installing it, I was prompted for the serial number. When I entered it an error message appeared saying it was an upgrade serial number and I need to enter my original purchase number. This was my original purchase, not an upgrade. Now what do I do?

    It sounds like you bought an upgrade from Adobe. How much did you pay? The upgrade is about $80, and the non-upgrade is about $150. If you bought an upgrade version and had no previous version, you would see what you're seeing.
    If that is the case and I were you, I'd call Adobe, and arrange for a refund and to order the correct version.

  • After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is

    After 6 tries to load Photoshop CS6 on my new laptop, I keep getting the following message after I enter my valid serial number: "Serial number you provided is valid but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer."  What I'm, trying to do is download the qualifying product which I purchased just a year ago?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I contacted Adobe support Chat and they confirmed the serial number and gave me a response code number to enter. Once that was entered the product downloaded immediately. The whole process took 10 minutes.  Thank you for your response. I'm all good now.

  • I purchased Elements 11 then upgraded to 12 and now it says my free trial has expired I have my original serial number but when I enter it I'm told it is invalid

    Your caption says "I have my original serial number" , so do you mean to say the original for PSE11?  If so then it won't work in PSE12.  You need to enter the serial number you got in the email when you bought the upgrade from Adobe as download.  Did you get the email from Adobe about this and have you kept it in your inbox or somewhere safe?

    I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

    Hi Rosera,
    This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
    Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
    It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
    Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
    If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
    Regards,
    Ankush
