My Lightroom 5 upgrade serial number not showing up on My Products page; chat support useless

I purchased a Lightroom 5 upgrade license on July 25th. I didn't receive a confirmation email but my serial number was displayed on the order summary page after purchase. I tried registering the serial number repeatedly through the My Products page but for some reason the serial number wasn't showing up, even though the registration process reported a successful result. Furthermore, Adobe products bought from the Adobe store should automatically be registered according to Adobe's web site. Apparently this must have failed. I need to reinstall Lightroom 5 but the serial number is still not showing up on the My Products page. I just spent an extremely frustrating hour with Adobe "Live" chat who did nothing but send me in circles and repeat the same canned responses over and over again.
I'm currently on hold with "phone support" but I'm not optimistic as I've been on hold for 28 minutes. The only other support option was a link to this forum, hence this post. Hopefully someone from Adobe can retrieve my serial number and contact me. Failing this my only other option will be to contact VISA and open a claim.
My comical-if-it-weren't-so-sad conversation with Adobe support:
Hi, there are 36 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Joel: ok
Joel: Hello
Naveen R: Hi Joel.
Naveen R: I understand that you are unable to locate the serial number.
Joel: I purchased Lightroom 5 on July 25, 2013 as an upgrade for Lightroom 4. I need to reinstall Lightroom 5, but my serial number is not showing up in the products & services page.
Joel: I looked through my email receipts and couldn't find an order confirmation (or anything from Adobe related to my recent purchase.) After purchasing the upgrade, the serial number was displayed and I thought I had registered it using the Adobe account portal
Joel: Apparently, this didn't work. I have my VISA transaction information if required.
Naveen R: Thank you for the information.
Naveen R: I will be glad to check and help you with that.
Joel: Thanks

Naveen R: Let me check on that.
Joel: Are you alive?
Naveen R: I'm sorry due to application error I'm unable to check on that.
Joel: Can I please get a phone number to call? My only other choice would be to open a claim with VISA for fraud since Adobe seems unwilling to help in this matter
Naveen R: I will provide the steps to locate the serial number on your Adobe account.
Joel: I already know how to look for a serial number. The problem is that it doesn't show up in the Adobe account portal.
Naveen R: Please login under a different browser.
Joel: Already tried. Used IE then Chrome
Naveen R: Delete the cookies refresh your browser.
Joel: Same problem
Joel: Please provide me with a number to call
Naveen R: *Once you login to the Adobe account, click on "My products" under the "My products and services".
Naveen R: *There you can locate the serial number which you have registered.

Naveen R: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Naveen R: I see that your serial number is registered under your account.

Naveen R: I will provide you the serial number via email after ending this chat.

Naveen R: Yes. Due to some technical error you are unable to locate it.
Joel: ok please send the serial number
Naveen R: Sure.
Naveen R: Is there anything else I can help you with?
Joel: No
Naveen R: You are welcome.
Naveen R: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
This chat session has ended.
Thank you for contacting Adobe.

OK, I was able to recover my previous system's image and thankfully it appears you can get the serial number from Help->System Info. I attempted to register the serial number again via the My Products page and while it indicated that the registration was successful, we'll see. At least I should be able to install LR5 on my new machine now.
Edit: I also just discovered that the serial number is listed under My Orders, but not under My Products. Weird. In my defence , I never thought to check My Order history because I never received a confirmation email and the order wasn't listed after purchase...even as late as mid-August (when I last checked.) Very strange but it's all good now.
Edit #2: OK now I just feel silly. I just received an email from Naveen with an actual support case AND the correct serial number. So, I stand corrected. The Live Chat process still felt incredibly long with some seemingly canned/automated responses but, in all fairness, he did get back to me. Thank goodness I washed both feet today...

Moved to new Macbook Pro; Aperture 3 Upgrade Serial Number not Accepted

I have just moved to a new MacBook Pro. I migrated Aperture 3 from my Macbook. This was originally an upgrade from Aperture 2.
When opening Aperture 3 on the MacBook Pro I am asked for the serial number. I enter the upgrade serial number which is rejected.
I am really struggling to find the Aperture 2 box and don't know whether that serial number would be the solution.
Has anyone else come across this issue and know how it is resolved?
Assume I will not be able to find the Aperture 2 box. Can Apple help given that I will have previously registered Aperture 2 and 3 in the past? I really don't want to have to splash out on another couple of hundred quid for a lost box.
Please help.

Red,
Yes, assuming that you legally purchased the original version of Aperture from Apple, they will have the serial number on file. When you call they can provide you with the original serial number.

LR6 upgrade serial number not accepted by Adobe Applications Manager

I bought and downloaded LR 6 (upgrade). When I entered my new serial number in the Adobe Applications Manager, Serial Number upgrade, there is not an option for LR6, only LR 1-5. It says the qualifying application LR6 cannot be found. How can I register my serial number to my new LR6?

Lightroom 6 is not associated with the application manager. The application manager is for use with the creative cloud and with Lightroom CC. So what is it that you really purchased? And where did you download it from?

Serial number not showing up in system profiler

hi,
i recently had a problem with my speakers in macbook.
i sent it for service and the service center replaced my main board
now the system profiler is not showing my serial number.
do any one know how to fix this problem.

You would need to send it back to have the serial number burned in to the board. This seems to be a common occurrence when the board is replaced. There should be a number you can call on the paperwork from the repair and discuss it with them.

Transaction IQ09 u2013 production ORDER number for the serial number not showed

In the ALV generated by IQ09, we couldn´t see any production order number with its respectives serial numbers listed.
We try to check in NOTES SAP, through "SER*" tables and programs RIQEUI21 and RIOBJK00, but without success.
In the IQ02 and IQ03 transactions, we can find the orders numbers, but our users would like to see at the ALV list.
Anybody knows any transaction that shows serial numbers and production orders in a unique LIST.
Thanks
Claudio.

Hi,
I think you can customized your requirement, see below table
In table SER05, the list of serial number details can be obtained. key the order no in SER05 table, get field OBJKNR, then pass this OBJKNR in table OBJK .
Some useful table for serial numbers
SER00 Generic table for serial numbers
SER01 Serial numbers assigned to a delivery
SER02 Serial numbers assigned to a guarentee
SER03 Serial numbers assigned to a material document
SER04 Serial numbers assigned to an inspection lot
SER05 Serial numbers for a production order
SER06 Serial numbers for Handling Units
SER07 Serial numbers for Stocktaking
SER08 serial numbers for Orders (SD)
I hope that this information clarifies the issue.

Sankaran

Serial number not showing on delivery or invoice

Hello I am trying to get serial numbers to print out on Delivery and Invoices. According to Suda in a prior thread (Serial Number on the Delivery Challan) this is suppose to happen automatically in 2007 versions of SBO. I have created a test item (serial numbers setting "On Every Transaction"), rcvd the item and assigned it a serial number.
I then input a Delivery for the test item and printed it to the screen (draft) before posting it via the "Add" button. The draft did not show the serial number. I did the same for an invoice using the test item and again the serial number did not show on the draft invoice.
What step am I missing to get the serial number to print on the delivery and invoice?
What is required to get the serial number to print out on other forms such as credit memos and sales returns?

Hi
You are right . So far some other thread has been generated also before identifying same issue .
The option you have :
1. Administration --System initialisation -print preference >AR Invoice
However , if you want to bring it your serial number in one invoice , you probably need to customise your PLD .
2. AR invoice donot show serial number at row level because serial number is stored in different table .
Right click on AP invoice with serial number and Serial number transaction report or By menu bar Goto -->Serial Number and transaction report .
Hope this will narrow down what you are looking for
Thank you
Bishal

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.

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

Can't purchase upgrade serial number? - page not found

I am ready to purchase an upgrade serial number, since my Ap3 trial has expired. But when I click on the "buy" button, I am taken to an Apple Store page that reads "page not found" Has anyone else seen this??
Have they removed the ability to purchase a serial number? That's how I upgraded from Ap1 to Ap2, oh so long ago.
Thanks.

To close this out:
I called Apple store support, and they assured me that if I purchased the "upgrade" that an email would be sent containing the serial number, and no hard product would need to be shipped. I questioned the nice clerk several times, but she was +absolutely certain+ that an email would be immediately forthcoming.
So I believed her.
Bad idea. Wrong. No email. No serial number. I have to wait for the shipped disk (which of course I don't need since I have already installed the trial version.)
And of course, the Apple store can't fix this kind of problem. Maybe the "pro store" can help tomorrow.

I am trying to load LR on my new macbook pro. It asks for the serial number. I enter the digits, but it says, quote, " This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."

If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

CAnnot upgrade serial number after download. 'This serial number is not for a qualifying product'. Trying to upgrade from ACS 5.5 Design Premium to ACS 6 Design Standard

Cannot upgrade serial number after download. 'This serial number is not for a qualifying product'. Trying to upgrade from ACS 5.5 Design Premium to ACS 6 Design Standard

start the installation of design premium cs5.5 just to make sure you're using the correct serial number. once your serial number is accepted you'll see a screen giving you the option to install none, some or all of the cs5.5 programs. at that point you can quit and not install anything having verified your cs5.5 serial number if you want nothing cs5.5 on your computer.
on the other hand, if your cs5.5 serial number is not accepted, you'll pinpoint the problem.
or, if your cs5.5 number is accepted, you could install a cs5.5 program and then install cs6. it should recognize you have a cs5.5 program installed and NOT prompt you for you cs5.5 serial number allowing you to continue with your cs6 installation.

Upgraded from CS5 to CS6 - Serial number not for a qualifying product. Chat not available

I get a page saying "serial number not for a qualifying product. Please try another. " during install. I upgraded from Design Standard CS5 to Design Standard CS6 .
Also, Chat is never available to me. 6 tries to no avail so far.
Any help would be most appreciated or if someone knows how else I can contact Adobe as Chat is never available.
Thank you.

I attempted to reslove via CS chat but was unable to get assitance due to it being "outdated".
In so many words: That's BS. Only support can look into the customer database and they have to sort it out. Contact them again, escalate the case to the next level until you get someone qualified enough to resolve your issue.

Upgrade Serial Number Required

I'm adding Lightroom 4 to my new computer.
1. I logged into the Adobe Store and accessed
Order Number AD005505029
2. I downloaded the installer.
3. I added my serial number to the installer.
4. I received an error message stating "this is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."
I don't have this SN and it is not present in my account at the Adobe Store. Can you please send it to me?
Thanks!

Lightroom 4 serial numer not working for lightroom 5

I downloaded the triel version of lightroom 5 and entered by lightroom 4 serial number and it has a x at the end and it is not taking it. Having read some of the other forums I thought all you had to do to updgrade was install and enter the 4 serial. Pleas let me know what I need to do to resovle this issue.

We’ve had several questions around who is eligible for an upgrade to Lightroom 5. Any Lightroom 1, 2 3, or 4 version of Lightroom, education editions included, can utilize the upgrade version of Lightroom 5. The prior version of Lightroom does not need to be installed on the computer, however you will need the prior version serial number at the time of installation of Lightroom 5. If the prior version is still installed on the computer, Lightroom 5 will automatically pick up that serial number so you don’t need to go digging through boxes or your email."
You still have to pay for the upgrade. This says that LR5 will automatically read your LR4 serial number but you still have to buy a LR 5 serial number.
