My Creative Cloud is in asks for a serial number when I try to login

Hi,
I have the same problem. We purchased creative cloud for teams on Friday. Now it is Monday. When I first started the apps I did not get any screen where it said that I was in trial mode. When I started the apps a second time the trial mode screen came up. I signed up but then it askes for a serial number. I already followed the steps from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/trial--1-launch.html but I got stuck at step 4. I cannot click deactivate because it is in grey.
I upgraded from CS4 Standard. I tried we deactivating those programs but that did not work either.
The computer is Windows 7 Professional
Can someone help me?

Hi llsem16,
As you mentioned that you have Creative Cloud for Team Subscription, did you send an invitation to yourself from the Admin Console(Creative.adobe.com) and accepted the same. If yes then please try updating AAM from the below mentioned link and try launching the software again.

Also please check for any entries in Host file in this location
Run-drivers-etc-hosts. Please open hosts file using notepad and if you find any Adobe entries then run this Microsoft fix it to fix the issue.

Hope this helps.

  • Trying Creative Cloud - Photoshop CS6 asking for a serial number?

    I am trying out Creative Cloud and have previously used trial version of Photoshop CS6 Extended.  Have downloaded Photoshop CS6 via creative cloud but when try to run it I get a message that I must enter a serial number.  Can anyone help ?

    Hello
    Okay I am getting very panicky now as I have joined creative cloud and submitted payment and spent the whole morning waiting for it to download photoshop CS6 and it still comes up with 'enter serial number' - I have a project to finish today which isn't helping. As far as I am aware I have uninstalled the trial version I had installed.  Is there anything I am missing or that I could check - I am using a macbook pro - any help will be very greatfully received, this is not a great start to my 12 month contract!
    Thanks

    after installing, why is lightroom asking for a serial number, when I am a CC subscriber - I am logged in to my CC account

  • I am being asked for a serial number when I install CS5

    When I installed Creative Suite 5 Master it asked for a serial number, which I provided. Now it is asking me for a serial number upgrade? This is the master collection being installed for the first time, why is it telling me it can't find qualifying software to upgrade?

    Branching to a separate discussion.
    Jymjeo123 you will want to enter your previous qualifying version serial number.  You can locate the serial numbers under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Encore CS6 is asking for a Serial Number when I have Creative Cloud

    I have the same problem identified here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1024884
    I am running Windows 7 on a new Dell Vostro, have a subscription to Creative Cloud, have never installed a trial version of the software, and recently installed Premier Pro. The first time I try to run Encore, I get the two screens shown in that thread and repeated here:
    "Adobe Encore CS6 cannot run in trial mode. Please relaunch the application and provide a valid serial number."
    "Adobe Premier Pro. Provide a serial number."
    I had previously got the problem identified here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/missing-sequence-presets.html
    Following the recommendations fixed the problem, but still Encore has the same issue.
    When I access this URL:
    https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/
    I get the message:
    "Congratulations! You have successfully connected to Adobe License Management Server."
    It appears this is a common problem, but there does not seem to be a common solution. For example, here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4677807
    and
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4589055
    I checked and have no "Hosts" file.
    Further, here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4677888
    I have found that waiting or rebooting the PC does not fix the problem.
    Lastly, I tried that proposed here:
    http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2012/08/help-photoshop-cs6-asks-for-serial-number-after-si gning-up-for-creative-cloud/
    And that did not work either.
    Illustrator, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro all work fine.
    So, what is the solution?
    Update, 2012-11-06. I spent 30 minutes on a chat session with Adobe support. The support person told me emphatically that Encore is not part of Creative Cloud and can be obtained only by buying Premiere Pro and not from the Creative Cloud subscription. To prove the point, the support person pointed me to this page:
    https://creative.adobe.com/apps
    Now on that page, Adobe has done something clever and stupid. If you view the page with XP (for example), it does not show Premier Pro because Premiere Pro works only on a 64 bit OS. If you view the same page under Windows 7 it does show Premiere Pro. I think it would be better if Adobe showed the application (possibly greyed out) with a note that it cannot be installed on the PC that is viewing the page. Well, I was having the chat on my laptop (running XP) and I guess the support person was also on XP so the case was proved!
    But I sent him a link to this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/tools.html
    However, the support person told me I needed to contact sales. I called them and asked the support guy to wait on the chat session until I had an answer. The lady in sales said that Encore is definitely included in Creative Cloud. But as I was about to relay that information to the support person, he ended the chat session!
    The pleasant lady in sales said she would transfer me to phone technical support. I was on hold for 60 minutes and had to quit to go and do a task.
    Perhaps this will be resolved and I shall update this thread ...

    I got help with this problem.
    You only need to sign out from the creative cloud. Go to preference, sign out. Open Premiere Pro CC, help sign out.
    Then re-open premiere pro cc and sign back in, and you should now be able to open encore as well!
    Worked for me!

  • I purchased a creative cloud membership but it still asks me for a serial number when I try to open software

    I had Photoshop CC, Dreamweaver CC, and Illustrator CC installed as a trial. The trial has now run out and I purchased an account for a full subscription to all adobe software, but in the creative cloud app it keeps prompting me as "your trial has expired" and when I click "license this software" it prompts me with a serial number screen. All uninstalled apps have a "try" or "buy" button next to them when I assume it should say "install" since I've paid for them.
    Some things I've read on forums and have tried with no success:
    uninstalling and reinstalling all apps including creative cloud desktop manager
    used the adobe cleaner utility to clean all leftover adobe files, then tried reinstalling software
    edited the hosts file to remove any additional lines.
    changed my language settings to International english.
    tried signing in and out
    I was told this computer had pirated adobe software installed on it at one time.  Not sure if this is responsible for why this has been so problematic. Please help, Ive spent hours trying to figure this out. ps i'm on a mac.

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.
    Cheers,

  • I just updated my Light room to the 5.7 and now it ask for a serial number?

    I just updated my Light room to the 5.7 and now it ask for a serial number when I try to open it, I have the CC plan,anyone know what I should do? Support didn't help much in chat.

    You have probably downloaded the standalone version and installed it. It will have to be removed,, and then you will be able to install from the CC application manager.

  • Creative Cloud for teams downloads as a trial and asks for a serial number

    My employer purchased a Creative Cloud for teams account. I'm using my Adobe ID and trying to install the applications on my laptop at home. When the applications launch, they say I'm running a trail version. Then I'm given the option to license the software or continue the trial. When I click license this software, I sign in with my Adobe ID then it asks for a serial number. I don't have the serial number from my employer. Shouldn't it just be enough that I sign in with my registered Adobe ID and password?

    I don't know how that is possible, since Cloud accounts do not use a serial number... you download & install & activate Cloud programs with your Cloud log in to your paid account

    For me this guideline helped:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    In my case, I had to remove the following lines from the hosts file:
    120.0.0.1 lmlicenses.wip4.adobe.com
    127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com
    After that all worked again. Hope this helps.
