  • Licencing Photoshop Elements 13 has error 'The serial number you entered is invalid.'

    I had a trail version of Photoshop Elements 13 that I wanted to buy and licence.  I bought the product and got the serial number, but whenever I try to licence the trial version with the serial number it says 'The serial number you entered is invalid'.
    I can't find a solution anywhere, can anyone help?

    contact adobe support by clicking this link and then clicking 'still need help' as soon as it appears, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

  • I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  I recieve error message: "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

    I was referred here by customer service.  I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying  "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."  There is no place to enter the serial number.

    All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

  • Got CS2 To Install but now getting notified that "user name, organization name  or serial number is missing or invalid."

    After much frustration, got CS2 installed to replace my now-unsupported CS1. Went to open Adobe Photoshop and got your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization name or serial number is missing or invalid.

    First, Ganesh, your response isn't helpful because that link just explains why I had to download CS2 in the first place. Your response is the same that I got through repeated interactions with Adobe support personnel. If you're not going to provide a solution, then do not reply at all.
    Second, GautamBehl, that doesn't explain why I was getting the notification when I tried to open Photoshop after successfully installing the CS2. Perhaps I should have been clear and explained that I was installing the "3 disc" CS2 design suite.
    Here's the workaround I discovered. I downloaded Photoshop CS2 separately and had no problem. I would suspect that doing likewise with the other programs would get a similar result. I would expect that Adobe would fix the problem with the CS2 suite of programs, but according to my ineractions with Adobe support, are more interested in trying to sell recent software to users that they have just frustrated.

  • Error: "...user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid..." when you start Photos

    MacIntosh photoshop CS2
    Issue
    When you start Adobe Photoshop, the application returns the error message, "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."
    Detail
    Photoshop previously started without error.
    There is supposed to be a patch for this error message but I have not been able to find it. Help!

    Without proper system information and other technical details nobody can tell you anything. As a start, read this:

  • HELP ASAP!! PSE5 "elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  thsi application cannot continue and must now exit

    HELP!!!!  I am a graphic designer I LOVE my version of Photoshop elements 5... I am also a Mom of two who depends on my party supply business as my only income currently!!!! 
    Upon opening to work on a party supply order DUE TODAY for a kid's first birthday I got this ERROR MESSAGE:
    "Your adobe photoshop elements user name organization or serial number is missing or invalid.  This application cannot continue and must now exit"  And then closes.....

    Anyone?! Chat said they couldn't help me it's too old?!?!  HELP

    Hello ...Mom,
    here you will find (if stored at Adobe) "General infos about your Adobe Account" https://www.adobe.com/account.html. To see what Adobe has saved about your serial number, please have a look there: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    On the other hand you could use a non Adobe program, like
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.
    Good luck!

  • Cs2/Windows 7x64 - User name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid?

    Ok, I'm at my wits end on this one.  I've installed and reinstalled this CS2 suite multiple times, tried to find the proper registry keys, pretty much anything i can think of to get this to work, but every time I go to boot up one of the programs in the suite (such as Photoshop) I get an error stating "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit".  There is only an OK box, and absolutely no way for me to look at the licensing information to see what it's getting hung up on.
    I've confirmed everything is correct upon installation.  I can't find an e-mail address for Adobe's customer support so I'm asking you guys - what the hell is going on with this software?  Anyone fix this before?

    @exshopper
    A few quick items:
    (1)     I genuinely hope you find satisfaction with PaintShop Pro and that it meets your needs, whatever they are.
    (2)     Bob Levine is not and has never been an employee of Adobe Systems Incorporated. He does speak his mind and certainly lets Adobe know when our products and policies need improvement. Without attempting to put words in his mouth, I think you may be objecting to the fact that he does understand the needs of software developers in terms of marketing and supporting their products and the value of same to customers. He does rightly point out that the monthly subscription costs for the tools they use to earn their living usually amount to far less expenditure than many if not most creative professionals spend each day on their favorite beverages. There is still a major failure of many computer users to comprehend the cost of development and support of software simply because software isn't “tangible” in the way computers, printers, and other peripherals are.
    (3)     When you refer to purchasing “the CS2 suite for 1500 pounds (over $3000 back then)” I assume that you are referring to the Creative Suite 2 Premium which included every creative product that Adobe had at the time including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, GoLive, Version Cue, Bridge, Acrobat, etc. The “back then” was early 2005, nearly a decade which is an awful long time in this industry. If you “bought” the product more recently than eight years ago, much less five years ago, you already were purchasing something that was no longer current. And you certainly could not have purchased it from Adobe.
    (4)     I am sorry to read that your “computer died.” Was that computer nine years old? To be consistent with your expectations of Adobe, hopefully you expected your computer's manufacturer to continue to support that computer with a free or reduced cost repairs and/or replacement because you spent so much money on that computer. And of course you expected that new computer would run the exact same OS as your dead computer and support all your old peripherals including SCSI drives, diskettes, etc.
    (5)     Whether you or even I like it or not, the subscription model better reflects the reality of development, distribution, and support of software. Under the previous “perpetual license” scheme, you paid for a license to use the software for perpetuity on the hardware and software (i.e., OS) platforms for which it was developed and tested, nothing more. Unfortunately, the expectations of many of our customers was that somehow Adobe would provide free updates to their current program versions to provide support for future incompatible hardware and operating system platforms. However, that is a totally untenable business model. In contrast, many high end software applications (not graphic arts applications) not only charge for a license, but have a requirement for payment of either a monthly or annual maintenance contract which cover most such hardware/OS upwards incompatibility contingencies. The subscription model currently in-place basically eliminates the up-front licensing and a maintenance contract with a simple monthly fee that provides access to all updates and upgrades. It is fairly clear and simple.
    (6)     In terms of your costs over time, you didn't indicate which aspects of “CS2 suite” you were using, but given your apparent emphasis on image editing, Adobe does offer a very attractive subscription that includes both Lightroom and Photoshop.  Even if you don't use Lightroom at all, it is still a great price even just for Photoshop.

    I just purchased a license for LR 5 (received via reseller, DVD in Box) and wanted to use the serial on the downloaded LR5 version through Creative Cloud.
    System sais "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If problem persists contact Customer support".
    I have tried several times, without success. Internet connection is working.
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a DVD version then you have to use the serial number that is associated with the DVD version.  A Cloud subscription number has no relationship to a DVD serial number.

  • Set up will not accept my serial number, keeps telling me invalid serial number.

    Please help, set up will not accept my serial number, keeps telling me invalid serial number. What can I do?

    No help what-so-ever. All I want to do is download the $299.00 Acrobat XI
    Standard that I purchased yesterday. I have my redemption code and like I
    said, after spending hours yesterday going through all the crap the Adobe
    website asked for, my serial number was invalid. This is the most un-user
    friendly process I have ever attempted to go through.
    It should be one simple procedure but it never ends!!!!
    Can someone please give me simple instructions to getting my download for
    this product? If not, I am returning it for a full refund!

  • Hack to make serial number appear in System Profiler after logic board swap

    Hello All,
    We've graduated to a slightly different topic in another thread. So, I thought I would place the current question under it's own topic in hopes that someone might see the subject and have an idea / answer.
    In the thread at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1511437#1511437
    We've been discussing ways to make the serial number appear in the "About this Mac" box under the Apple Menu.
    The solution is successful.
    But, is there a way to similarly make the serial number appear again in the System Profiler?
    The convenience is great, and I am so used to the System Profiler that I'll remember it is there.
    If anyone knows of a way (even if it has to be re-done when you install OS X again), I - and many others - would love to hear about it.
    Here's hoping there is a software trick.
    Thank you in advance for any ideas.

    Well, after all this time, I guess there must not be a way to do this. I've since gotten another machine anyway, so it's not really an issue anymore.
