My creative cloud license is now making each app ask for a serial number

What do I do? I have a creative cloud license that in fact paid 2 days ago, but when I try and boot any application in the suite it says it is a trial and that I need to enter a serial number. WTF!
I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 and have the full creative cloud licensed. It was working perfectly well until 2 days ago. Nothing has changed, but it is not working. Please help!

OK... I'm in. I was sent a link for an updated Adobe Application Manager.
Installed it, opened  InDesign, got prompted to sign into my cloud account, and no prompt for a serial number this time.
I'm back in business. Here are the links provided (Mac or PC) by the support person.

    >enter my CC serial number
    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

  • I have the Creative Cloud Photography plan why am I being asked for a serial number?

    I ordered the Creative Cloud Photography plan yesterday and I believe I haven't got the serial number. I've looked under My Products, I've looked under My Orders, I've checked my email...I just keep going in circles and I don't know how to start using the product that I paid for. :S

    Branching to a separate discussion.
    C2ro as a member of the Creative Cloud Photography plan there is no need for a serial number.  If you are being asked for a serial number then there is likely a connection error preventing the active membership from being authorized on the computer.  Please see Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CC, CS6, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html for information on how to resolve connection errors.

  • Creative cloud keeps asking me to license my software and then it asks for a serial number

    it keeps asking me to license my software and then it asks for a serial number, i do not have a serial number with creative cloud just a order number what do I do?

    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.

  • 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 got my adobe creative license but the app are asking for the serial number. What can I do?

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
    In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
    I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
       Windows:
       In windows 7 navigate to following location:
         /windows/system32/drivers/etc
       1. look out for "Hosts" file
       2. Open it with notepad
       3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
       4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
       Mac:
       1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
       2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
       3. Remove the entries and save the file
       4.  try again launching any product from CC

  • I need to reinstall my CS3 creative suite I bought with a student license.  It allows me to install but never asked for the serial number.  I can open the programs but can not use them, get a "Adobe updater quit unexpectedly" message.

    I bought a CS3 creative suite on a student license in 2008.  The original MAC laptop has died and I am trying to install it on a MAC desktop.  the programs installs successfully but never ask for a serial number.  the programs will open but I can not open any files,  I get a Adobe Updater quite unexpectedly message.  Is this because the serial number has not been entered? I have tried chat about this problem twice, also use Adobe connect and was not helped. How do I enter this serial number?

    activate is grayed out.  Registration is available and when I select it, it says "A problem was encountered while trying to send the information over the internet"  So I select "submit again" and nothing happens.  Then the program closes and I get the added updater quite message. 

  • I activated my cloud membership and it worked.  I just downloaded Lightroom 5.6 upgrade and it asked for a serial number.  The same activation number I used before will not work now.

    I activated my cloud membership and downloaded Lightroom 5.5. Today, I downloaded Lightroom 5.6 and it asked for a serial number before it would open.  Why did the same serial number that worked 2 weeks ago not work now?

  • I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers?

    I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers. How do I proceed?

    How did you download the software? For Creative Cloud, you should download from http://creative.adobe.com (which will install through an application called AAM). If you have a trial installation, and bought Creative Cloud, that could be the cause.

    Sign out from Creative Cloud and sign in again using email ID using which you had purcahsed subscription:

    1) Right click on the Finder icon on dock and select "Go-To Folder" option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below mentioned command and then hit 'Return' key.
    /etc
    3) It will open the etc folder, please look for file named "hosts" and copy the same to Desktop screen.it
    4)Double click on Hosts file , it will open it with TextEdit, If present Delete Adobe entries present inside Hosts file like 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com.......etc

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro.  Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep.  How do I resolve ?

    Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh?  If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized.  Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.  Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

  • My laptop died. I am trying to reload CS4 Creative Suite. I have the serial number of the original program but it also asks for a serial number for an update. I'm happy with just the original. How can I load it?

    My PowerBook had Adobe Creative Suite 4 on it before it died. I had to have a new hard drive and ram disks installed. Now I can't reload the Creative Suite. How can I do it? I don't really need to upgrade for my purposes.

    I must admit I am not very computer savvy. I'm 81 and probably will 
    not pursue my work much longer. I have published and helped publish 
    self-published books for individual writers and companies since 1995. 
    I simply cannot, nor do I want to, afford to buy a CS4 upgrade, even 
    at the reduce price of $600 they offered. My wife has been handicapped 
    since have strokes in 2006 and later years. I can live without it if I 
    have to. However, I paid for it and hoped I could get it on the 
    laptop. You may be right about them asking for a serial number of an 
    older version, which as I said, I don't have.
