NI-FBUS Configurator supplied with a broken serial number-- $4K+ for a dead product.

Hello, we received our Fieldbus Host Starter Kit today (12/6/06).  The order was placed on 8/8/06 under order #1642893.
We are trying to install NI-FBUS configurator/communications manager on a Windows XP laptop.  After going through the installation process, I entered the
serial number that is on our certificate of ownership for the "NI-FBUS CONFIGURATOR FOR WINDOWS WITH HSE/HI LINKING DEVICE, HSE SUPPORT."
That number starts with X103...  The program then gave the screen with the computer ID, the 15 digit "numeric serial number," the 10 digit
"numeric product code" and a 25 digit "numeric computer ID."
I phoned these numbers into 800-207-4012, and the "numeric product code" was rejected.  I tried 4 times.
After speaking with NI tech support, they said that the format for the serial number on my certificate of ownership was for hardware-- not software.
They also said that there is no tech support for the NI-FBUS product line, and that after spending $4000+ on this system, we have to beg for help
on the discussion forum if we want assistance.  For now, our $4K+ bought a system that is dead on arrival.

Hello,
We are really very sorry for this problem!
Please contact our local CSR (Customer Service Representative). They could help you activate your software but they will require the Serial Number as well. Please tell them that this is a very special case and ask them whether they could bypass the serial number. If they cannot do so, please ask them whether they could help you activate the "Configurator with HSE support" license with other tools.
Please be aware that the FF support team is China now. If you have any question regarding the NI-FBUS products, please mail to [email protected], we will be glad to help you.
Thanks a lot for helping us find this problem. Anyway, we're really very sorry for this inconvenience!
Hope it helps and please feel free to let me know if I could do more help for you!

    You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

  • 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.

  • Serial number not for a qualifying product?

    I recently upgraded to CS6 Production Premium from PP CS5.5.  I'm running the programs but everytime I open one of the programs in the suite I get this message: Serial Number Upgrade "serial number you provided is valid, but a qualifying production could not be found on this computer."  I then choose Production Premium CS5.5 from the product list and enter my serial and then I get "this serial number is not for a qualifying product.  Please try another."  I quit the adobe registration program and I can still use my CS6 programs but it constantly pops up. 

    I've seen this sometimes when the languages do not match, between the earlier and the new product. Could you verify that you selected the correct language.
    Also have a look at the following document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html. It'll probably help you figure out how to resolve the issue.

  • NUMBER OF COMPUTERS WITH THE SAME SERIAL NUMBER

  • I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request.

    I did not keep the email with my registration for the free trial so I do not have a serial number as I have no products due to the fact that my trial has expired but I would now like to purchase a product and I cannot skip the serial number request in order to buy the product it's so irritating I'm about to just do a different product altogether... anyone know how to get or bypass the serial number request?

    You must first make the purchase, then you will receive the serial number you are asking about.  YOu do not acquire the serial number thru the software.  You acquire it thru the purchase, possibly via a follow-up confirmation  email.

  • HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any

    HELP. 3 years ago I purchased cs3. I had troubles with registering the serial number and used my university's suite instead, and (stupidly) did not sort it out. I am now wanting to subscribe to the online creative cloud with my cs3 discount. Is there any way to find / prove that I had purchased cs3 and locate a serial number? On my Adobe account it does not show my purchase of cs3 (I am guessing because of the trouble with registering my serial number). I have moved house 3 times since the purchase and am unable to locate the packaging or disk. Is there any way to prove my purchase without any serial number or showing under my Adobe account? Please help! Thanks

    The CS3 discount offer is only for retail online product, it does not include education or volume license purchases. Refer to Terms and Conditions | Adobe
    To check whether you had retail CS3 purchase, we need proof of purchase as well as serial number, without which the issue can not be resolved.

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

    If you did not own a legitimate license for the original CS2, you're stealing software, no different than so many software pirates.
    Legitimate CS2 licensees can also download the new serial number, on the honor system.
    CS2 is pretty old by now, and any version of ACR that runs on it is so obsolete that you'll be leaving an awful lot of image quality on the table.
    Cease and desist.

    Hi There,
    We would like to inform you that you have got the serial number for Mac, it would not work on Mac machine as it is OS specific.
    If you wish you use a mac machine that you can swap the platform please refer the below mentioned link.

  • Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network

    I attempted to open Final Cut Express this morning and got the message, "Protection Error - This application cannot continue because another application with an identical serial number is already running on another computer on your network".
    I have no other FCE on any computers...this is the only mac running (iMac 2008 model).  I used a preference manager app and deleted preferences...didn't work.  I uninstalled and reinstalled FCE...didn't work.
    This is the first time I have used FCE since installing the Yosemite OS, so I'm thinking perhaps that has something to do with it.
    Any ideas?

    There have been recent posts appearing about your problem. I'm not sure if anyone has found a solution.
    FCE was abandoned by Apple years ago, and they are currently making Operating Systems without regard to how it impacts FCE.

    That is what I would try - a fresh install - but your need to use FCS remover (from the same software source as Preference Manager) to make sure you get all traces of your existing installation off the drive prior to doing the installation:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    If you use FCS Remover, and reinstall the other problem may be that Apple has apparently removed the Software Upgrade to FCE 4.0.3.
    So unless you have a 4.0.3 install disk, or you hadn't upgraded past the version number of the install disk you do have, you legacy projects may be tagged as being created with a later version than you have and not open.
    Hope it works out for you.

  • Is it possible to find a stolen MacBook with only the serial number

    The police in Mexico told me that it is possible to find a MacBook or an Ipad by tracking it with only the serial number, anyone that may have done it ... Thanks

    No. That can't be done.
