My CS5 serial number is 'not valid'. I have deactivated the program on old PC.
I want to transfer PS to my new mac. I have deactivated PS CS5 from old computer. I have downloaded the trial version of PS to my mac. I cannot license it, as the message is 'serial number not valid'. Any suggestions?
Hi thompsonclair
CS licenses are platform specific so a Photoshop CS5 Win license cannot be used on a Mac. You can upgrade from CS5 Win to CS6 Mac or may wish to consider a Creative Cloud plan which can be used on Mac or Win.
Kind regards
Bev

Win8 CS5 serial number is not valid for this product
trying to install my CS5 on a 2nd machine - a win 8 64bit machine. i purchased on my macbbok pro. my cs5 is saying the serial number is not valid for this product
Perpetual Photoshop versions support one platform. For a fee you can switch platform and get a serial for the other platform.

I'm trying to reinstall photoshop CS5 in a new laptop (pc) but i have an "The serial number is not valid for this product" error.
I have deactivated photoshop in the old computer.
The old laptop have photoshop installed with the DVD but the new laptop don't have DVD so i downloaded cs5 from Download CS5 products. ¿Maybe doing this is an error?the installation files work the same whether from a disc or download, but there are other ways to mismatch a serial and installer.

When i try to install my newly bought CS5 it says"The serial number is not valid for this produkt" what to do???
/ JojjaOh my, I hope so too but its pretty common on these types of sites - even eBay sellers do it. Its all about the way they word it. Some sellers are very crafty in the way they word their ads misleading the buyer into thinking they're getting a legitimate and licensed product when it's actually not. Be careful in any future products you buy on these kinds of sites.
My advice is to quickly write an email to the seller and demand to know what you just bought - Be VERY specific and thorough with your questions - for example on ebay I bought a computer that had CS5 installed on it (but it didn't come with the install disks) This particular seller installed CS5 or 6 as well as the Microsoft Suites on all of his used pc's. So before I bid, I sent an email to him asking if it included the product codes for the CS5 because I intended to register it for Adobe support. He advised me that he bought bulk licenses for all his software, he told me exactly where the product codes were on a document and they were in fact legit.
Also check the return policy of the Site (not the seller) sometimes they offer a little protection to their customers. Be sure to contact their support department and their Fraud department if it turns out you were scammed. And definitely give negative feedback to the seller.
One more thing, you should also check with the Adobe licensing support department. In fact, do this FIRST - so that you're sure the code is no good. Sometimes the product codes have expiration dates (though I've never heard of it happening to entire suite) If this is the case they will issue you a new code free of charge.
Good Luck. I really hope it all works out for you. -

I'm installing PS CS5 Exteneded on my new laptop. I get an error saying the serial number is not valid for this product. Help!
If you purchased it from Adobe, it is registered and that would prove ownership as well as the emaill they sent with the serial number.
https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader
Sign in with the email and password that you bought it under.
Click on the triangle next to your product and you will see the serial number assigned to you.
You have a valid record and proof of ownership. Try again.

I re-formatted my computer to Windows 8. When re-installing Dreamweaver CS5.5, it says the serial number is not valid.
Did you de-activate CS5.5 before you reformatted C? You can have up to 2 installations of software at one time. You may have exceeded your limit. Contact support to help you de-activate one.

'This Serial number is not Valid for Photoshop CS6 Extended'
'This Serial number is not Valid for Photoshop CS6 Extended'
i did download the regular cs6 - but still keep getting this message
what to do?
Thanks!TravisWT wrote:
Do i need to install the entire suite on the secound computer to access photoshop?…
No, installing Photoshop alone would do, that would also install Bridge on your computer. But you do have to download the whole-suite download to install Photoshop from it. The individual Photoshop download will never accept your suite serial number.
Incidentally, the "suite" concept is a fabrication of Adobe marketing and bean-counting types. The engineering teams are totally independent of each other, they are not only in different buildings but in different cities and states of the American Union, even in different countries.
The fact that they have little if any communication among them is highlighted by requests occasionally made in these forums by top Adobe engineers to let the other teams know when there are problems in one application that impact our workflow in another one. -
Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
HI together,
I'm very annoyed about the fact that I payed for Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium 5 (EDU version) and now I'm not able to use it on my new Mac. The Support team (Chat) from Adobe told me several times that the product/serial or whatever was canceled but this doesn't help me to get the product working and I won't pay again for this software. So what's the reason for cancellation? I can't see reasons for this and I don't understand why Support team can't help me. Already found Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite but this doesn't helped me.
Regards
RenéMaybe this is also useful... They told me I canceld this by myself which is not the truth. I had a Windows machine and used Creative Cloud as well but I only canceld the Cloud, not my Serial Number for Production Premium...
So who is able to reactivate my Serial Number so that I'm able to use my product?

my serial number is "not valid for subscription products", but of course it should be. how do I fix that?
Hello,
general informations you will find there: https://www.adobe.com/account.html and this brandnew website: Serial number and activation support.
In case you bought your program from these firms like Amazon this "serial number" obtained from them is not a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe.
The following part, so I just see at least ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything plays out in the link from above. I let it there as an info:
Here you have to go through your "Adobe Store", and look for the button "Serial Number Request". Fill in the form and, after a while you will get a "real" serial number.
