New computer - new serial number?

I've recently got a new Mac and I'd like to re-install my old version of CS4 (student version), design premium. The old serial number is of course not working on the new computer, so I'm assuming I'll need a new one - how do I go about getting one?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Beverley,
I installed the suite from the CDs and entered the old serial number, which at first seemed fine; however, a month later it says "trial version expired" when I try to open an application and my serial number is rejected (a big red cross shows up next to the number when I finish typing). Also, when I looked online, I found that there are two serial numbers associated with my ID (neither of which work; I tried).
I don't think that this is directly connected to the two serial numbers I just mentioned, but still, just in case it is: I do own two student editions, a Creative Suite Premium for Windows, and the Mac one, but unfortunately I used my then new e-mail address when registering the one for Mac (back when I switched from Windows to Mac and therefore had to get the Mac version of the software). Now I've got two Adobe IDs, with the Windows and Mac version each registered to one of them. Is there any way of merging the two IDs?
Thanks a lot,
Marvis

    Hi Corinne,
    You can try and perform the installation on another machine and it should work fine for you. Can you please let us know if this is able to solve the issue for you or not.

  • Can i get a new serial number for Adobe CS6 Design Standard for Students and Teachers?

    I have had to re-install my Adobe CS6 Design Standard for students and teachers after having problems with my computer (MacBook Pro)
    I am wondering if there is a way to access my old serial number from when I originally installed CS6, or do I have to start over again and get a new serial number?
    Help is greatly appreciated!!

    You normally use the same serial number that you are first issued.  If you registered your product when you first installed it then you should be able to find your setial number available thru your Adobe account online.

  • New serial number

    My computer crashed and I need a new serial number for Lightroom 4.  I have my product key.

    Because old serial number was in my emails and it was Outlook that crashed!
    Why do you need a new serial number? The existing one will still work.
    Just re-install Lightroom , re-enter your existing serial number and you're good to go.

  • New serial number for photoshop elements 9

    I have photoshop elements 9, my computer has ceased working and need to reinstall on my new computer.  How do i deactivate or get a new serial number for my programme.  I am desperately trying to use the programme.

    You shouldn't need a new serial, just use your present serial for pse 9 and if you have trouble activating pse 9 on your new computer or want to get back the activation you lost, use the
    Chat now button at the bottom of the following link.

  • Back.  How do put the new serial number on my itunes?

    My ipod nano was recalled and chances are I will not get my original one back.  How do I put the new serial number on my itunes so my computer will recognize the new (refurbished) one?

    I'm not sure that you need to. iTunes will read the serial number from the new iPod when you hook it up. If you aren't talking about the iPod serial number, but instead talking about the iTunes user ID and password, keep using what you have.

  • I'm trying to re-install Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0, but the Serial Number of my old copy doesn't work. Where do I get a new Serial Number?

    I bought a copy of Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 in 2001, and it's been working fine, but now I'm told I need to download a new copy. However, when I get to enter the Serial Number (of the original copy), it says it's invalid. How do I get a new Serial number?

    OK, answered my own question: the Serial Number is listed opposite the link at Adobe - CS2 Downloads

  • Can you get a new serial number for Logic Studio?

    so i just bought Logic Studio from a friend and i successfully installed it onto my mid 2012 13-inch MacBook Pro (entry level). Problem is that after the software was installed, i opened one of the applications that came with the bundle (Logic Pro) and it requested me to enter my serial number. I typed the right one and it didnt let me in. I tried to do that with all the other applications that came with Logic Studio but none of the apps let me in even though i tried more than a bunch of times.
    So my question is: can you get a NEW serial number?
    if not, then is there another solution that wont require me to download hack files?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

    I was installing my adobe photoshop cs6 extended but my serial number is invalid. Can I get a new serial number for this product?

    I think you better check with Customer Service, make sure that they are all numbers rather than having any letters. 0 the number can look like O the letter.

    Get in touch with support. Nobody here can sort out serial number issues. In the meantime, simply run the app as trial.

    You must download and install the CS2 version provided by Adobe and you must use the new serial number provided by Adobe.

  • Do I need to repackage when I get a new serial number?

    I received a new serial number and was wondering if I have to create a whole new package every year with the new serial numbers?

    Thanks, Jay. About an hour ago I opened it, turned it on, and started downloading and installing system updates. It's been plugged in this entire time. Should I have just turned it on and plugged it in to charge without using it? The article isn't entirely clear on that. Or can I keep setting it up and using it as long as it's plugged in until the light on the power cord turns green (before unplugging it and allowing the battery to run down)?
