My registered/activated CS6 is now opening as an expired trial, and my serial number will not work.

I've been using this product for over a year and a half, and it is suddenly opening as an expired trial version, which will not let me enter the serial number I was given when I originally downloaded it.

Yes Atr12 this is often due to purchasing an expiring serial number.  I checked and it does appear you have been provided an expiring serial number.  These are sometimes offered by resellers at a discounted rate.  If you believe that you received an expiring serial number in error then I would recommend contacting the reseller which you purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium from.
It does still appear the serial number should be valid.  I would recommend running the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.  I would then follow this by using the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal.  You can find details of the use of the CC Cleaner Tool 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.
It is likely the licensing files are unable to be updated or are damaged thus the serial number is being seen as invalid.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS6 serial number does not work on my new MAC. It does work on my old MAC.

    I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on my new Mac but the serial number does not work.
    Do I need to remove the program on the old Mac first?

    Thanks for you reply
    Then I do not understand why the serial number does not work? I have tried to type it several times.

    You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

  • I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my simplePass identity protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE.

    I upgraded for Firefox 4 and now my HP SimplePass Identity Protection (biometric scanner) on my laptop will not work. WHY? It still works with IE but I don't use IE. It worked with the previous Firefox version but now when I use the internet, it doesn't even acknowledge I have the scanner. When I run my finger over it, it opens the settings panel but does not allow use of the already saved information or allow new information to be entered. I need this corrected. Any suggestions?

    I asked this same question, and just received a response:
    "Thank you for contacting DigitalPersona. There will be no update releases
    for DigitalPersona Personal in the future. There will be no updates for
    Firefox 4 nor Internet Explorer 9. IF they work they work, if they do
    not work with DPPersonal, then you will have to decide to either keep
    DPPersonal and forgo Firefox 4 or IE 9, or vice versa. DigitalPersona
    is leaving the consumer market and is focusing on business applications.
    In fact, DigitalPersona Personal will not longer be supported after
    Mid-April of this year.
    We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. Sincerely, Tech Team "
    In other words, there will be NO update.

  • I purchased CS6 Mac and the serial number is not accepted. What to do now??

    I purchased CS 6 in August online from The Software Tech Store in Montreal. I just got my new Macbook yesterday and am now trying to install the program. I located the serial number on an email from the company but it's not working. There was NO serial number on the box. I fear I have been taken for $725!  Can you possibly help?  Thanks, Paula

    I have found that it's a fake. And to make matters worse, I was just 2 weeks outside the time for my credit card company to remove the charge.  So now I feel victimized twice. There are 2 available on amazon, but could also be fakes. At least I will know right away this time. Thank you for trying to help.

  • CS6 serial number upgrade not working (win)

    I've been using CS6 for a while now (got an upgrade from CS5.5) and I'm trying to install it on my second computer and suddenly the serial number isn't correct. I'm using the serial number from CS6 (i've dubble checked the box and online) and I can't figure out why it's not working.
    Could it have to do with the product I'm supposed to choose? I've tried all off them with 6 in it and still NOTHING
    Help please!

    If you purchased an upgrade and it is askling you to choose the qualifying version, that would be the older version (CS5.5) that qualifies you to use the upgrade version.  You will have to choose CS5.5 as well as provide the serial number that was used for CS5.5 when you activated it.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro serial number will not install or register

    I just purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and tried to install it on my computer.  I entered the serial number and registered it.  However, every time i open the program, it warns me that my 30 day trial will expire in 0 days.  I click on "license this software" and enter the serial number again, and register it again.  It works for one instance of use, then the insanity begins all over, and the trial expiration message pops up next time i open the program.
    I have tried uninstalling the software, then running the adobe cleaning tool, restarting the computer, then installing the software again.  This did not solve the problem.
    It is nearly impossible to talk to a human being at Adobe customer support.
    Can anyone help me?

    what os?
    what file(s) (name/extension) have your downloaded and is their file size?

  • No Serial Number will not open

    My Encore and PP CS3 will not allow me to access Encore. No Serial No.
    Attempts to re-install come up with Adobe CS 3 and Encore elements NOT installing.
    Whats worse the system shut down my Firewire while installing, so the DVD drive I was using was deleted from the system. So had to change to another internal DVD. Then it wanted drive letters from the original install, which had changed as I had added external USB drives, and the firewire units had disappeared. I changed the drive letters using Computer Management, and it found the install disc. But Non of the Encore and PPCS3 elements were re-installed.
    So The system will not allow me to re-install the software!
    This is an upgrade from PP.1.5
    So must clean every other out, including the Canopus 2, and 3 software while interlinks with it.
    Spent weeks on this 7 hour project with 3 discs required for publication, now it wont allow re-install!
    P4 4GB Ram
    XP SP2

    Start with a reformat of the system disk and install Windows and all software fresh. While at it, upgrade to SP3. Your system needs that.
