OS Reinstall and lost serial numbers

Hi, I reinstalled Leopard 10.5 + updates, to correct nagging issues, using the "Archive & Install" method. All worked fine and life is back to normal.
Couple of questions:
- The system created a mammoth "Previous System" folder (14 gb). Is it wise to get rid of this folder since it's taking up storage in my tiny macbook?
- Alhtough most 3rd party apps working fine, including Office 2004, the system asking for serial numbers of Final Cut Express and LiveType? Where do I find these in my Mac (traveling and don't carry original package)..?

If everything is working OK, you can delete the Archive (Previous System Folder), but I suggest backing it up with TM when you get a chance first, just in case. One never knows.
Regarding those pesky keys that some SW vendors require, the reason you need to put them in is because the software "thinks" you have installed it on another machine. I had that issue with my Macromedia Dreamweaver.
I don't know if the keys are stored on the computer unencrypted, but they are usually only accessible when the software is running (Catch 22) and not otherwise.
I think you are out of luck until you get back or call home and have someone locate them.
I always save them in an unencrypted text folder with some innocuous name or on one of my FlashDrives just in case.
You might be able to call the SW vendors and explain your situation. I am sure they have records and can help if they want to.

  • IMB Mailpiece and Tray serial numbers on endorsement line?

    Hello,
    To make work less painful for our Operations when switching to USPS Full Service Option, we are considering making the IMB mailpiece and Tray serial numbers visible to the line operator in human readable format.  We hope to achieve this by putting these numbers (output from Presort) in the first few characters of the Optional Endorsement Line (OEL).
    -  Is this a good approach?  If so, would it be possible to configure Presort to pre-fix the stated serial numbers into the OEL?  We hope to avoid any custom code development for this.
    -  If it is not a good approach, what alternatives should we consider?  (I read about an optional 'Mailer's Keyline' on the USPS web-site.  (http://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/qsg300/q708.pdf)  Can this be used?  If so, is some Presort configuration possible to generate the desired human-readable serial numbers in one of the Presort outputs?
    Your thoughts and suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Vishak

    Vishak,
    I have been told by our postal reps that we cannot place additional information in the optional endorsement line.  The only thing we have used on the same line as the OEL is the ACS participation code - I have provided an example below.  Not all jobs will have ACS information though.  However, I have encountered conflicting information from different postal sources in the past.

    I agree with Kendra.  I believe your best bet is to use the container, package and pallet codes.  We use them on every mailing.  These codes will allow your line workers to sort the mail pieces at the end of the line with ease and efficiency.  I have listed an example of what and where they look like.  "C" for container or tray, "P" for package and "S" for skid or pallet.

  • Lightroom and PS serial numbers

    I just bought a new laptop. I want to download lightroom and photoshop. All I have records of is the upgrade serial numbers. No record of the original serial numbers. How can I download, or how can I find the original serial numbers? HELP!!

    Do you have the products registered with Adobe? If so you will find the numbers under your Adobe ID.
    If not they should be on your old computer anyway, where will depend on the OS, etc.

  • Move elements 10 to new computer but lost serial numbers

    How can i move my licensed version of Elements 10 to new windows 8 computer? I have no idea where the serial numbers might be!

    If you originally registered the product, the serial number should be in your Adobe account. Click on the red Adobe logo (top left on this web page) sign-in with your Adobe ID (email & password) and choose Manage Account. You should be able to browse your purchase history and registered products.

  • Lost serial numbers

    Hi I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5. But I had a system crash. I just got my Mac back I had the programs backed up on an external drive. But I don't have the serial numbers anymore. And I can't find either in my orders. I do still have it on my laptop. Is there a way to find them on my lap top?

    Hi VBLAZIN, the serial number for Photoshop is not visible, however for Lightroom you can goto Help>>Lightroom Registration and then select License on your laptop and can see your serial number.
    Lightroom serial number is multi platform and wil work on both Win and MAC
    However, for PS CS 5 serial number, if it was registered then it should be under your Adobe Account.
    Try to log in to Adobe.com with your Adobe ID and password and then you may check your registered products

    I bought today CC for photographers (LR, PS, Br). The Br runs fine. But the other two programs want serial numbers. Why?

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Stock count clearing LI21 and missing serial numbers

    Hello Experts,
    We are running a stock count and we have come to the stage where we run LI21 to clear differences. However, I cannot do it because I get the error message "Maintian serial numbers for the total quantity".
    The materials that give this message have a serial number profile that requires serial number at the point og GR and GI.
    I am not able to find a way to enter serial numbers in LI21.
    Any suggestions on how to complete my stock count?

  • Need a way to inventory Mac programs and corresponding serial numbers

    My boss is a Windows guy & doesn't know what he's doing. Therefore, he insists there's a way out there to inventory all of our office's Macs & generate a list of programs and corresponding serial #s. Is this possible? How?
    In his perfect Microsoft world, this would create an Excel sheet.

    If you've purchased and configured Apple Remote Desktop, then use the Application Usage Report feature -- gives a list of apps and how frequently they are used (in case you want to reigh in licenses).
    A cheap alternative, of course, is to create an admin account on each machine and use 'ssh' to run system_profiler on each machine. e.g. 'system_profiler -detailLevel full SPApplicationsDataType'. You get responses like this (you can request an XML format too):
