PakeMaker 6.52 serial number not recongized when upgrading

I have been using PageMaker 6.52 until my recent upgrade to Windows 7 which PageMaker will not run under. I purchased a used copy of Indesign 2.0 (upgrade version) on eBay. When trying to install, I get an error that the Indesign install program does not recogzine my PageMaker serial number. I telephoned support and got nowhere when tried to explain the problem as the overseas call center did not understand the problem and language (English) was a barrier.
I had ugraded my PageMaker several times over the years, and as I recall, PageMaker retained the original serial number. The support center told me my serial number was for ver. 1.0 and not eligible for upgrade. However, this is the correct serial number for my copy of 6.5 and this the number shown when PageMaker is running (Help - About).
How can I get Indesign activated? How can I talk to someone stateside that speaks understandable English? Thank you for your help.

You are on your own here with version 2.0 upgrade.
This is an old problem and a known issue with PM 6 upgrades to InDesign not recognizing upgraded serial numbers of PM. Search the forums for more data from discussions on this (start here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1285142#1285142)
And I am afraid you are out of luck with Adobe on this as they only support the most recent version, ID CS4 (until CS5 ships shortly), at this time. If you can get any help from them on this count yourself lucky. There may be an Adobe info or data page on this in their Knowledge Base archives but you'll get that in any search you make within this web site.
Also, as a caveat, InDesign didn't convert PM6 files well at all until version 5 (CS3), from what I read here on this forum. And ID version 2 isn't supported in Windows 7 (but it may run fine) so no love from Microsoft either.

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

CS5 serial number not recognised when upgrading to 'CS members Complete - Special Offer' on the cloud

I have CS5 premium membership, and would like to upgrade to the the cloud. My profile lists the serial numbers of this older software, but when I try to buy the "CS members Complete — Special Offer" it says I'm not eligible. Why am I not eligible? I'm using a Mac Book Pro. The old software is installed on my imac and I cannot access it now as it's in another county.

Yes it is, as I am having the same problem - was eligible for the Student/Teacher edition, now not and looking to upgrade to an Individual licence.
I talked to someone on Livechat yesterday about this and it ended with the person telling me if I called the sales number, rather than online, they would honour the upgrade.
When I called, the person on the phone said that this was not possible (and that there was no record of this commitment on my notes)...
It seems that there is no reward for loyalty or honesty... :-/

Serial number not recognized when installing.

I bought Acrobat Standard XI off the Adobe website. When installing the serial number is not recognized. The drop down box for selecting which product I bought has a selection for Standard X but not Standard XI.

Hi brabski
The download link is for the retail version installer so if you do have a volume license then you need to download the installation files from
https://licensing.adobe.com/.
Below is the link to contact for support:

Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Audition CS 5.5 says "serial number not valid" when starting, but all other products work?!

Hi,
I use CS 5.5 Production Premium for quite some time now.
Today I tried to start Audition for the first time.
It gives me a choice to continue to use as a trial or provide the serial number.
When I enter my regular CS 5.5 s/n, it says "the serial number is not valid for this product".
All other products work.
What do I have to do to make Audition start?
Thanks,
Patrick

Cs3 serial number not accepted when installing cs6 as upgrade

I downloaded photoshop cs6 after paying for it as an upgrade from photoshop cs3. During the installation it asked me for the serial number for cs4 or cs5 but not cs3. It would not accept the serial number of my cs3. A look at other forums suggests the only way round this is to hack in as if I was doing an illegal download. When I installed on this computer, the help Desk took over my computer and had a lot of trouble overriding the problem. I now have a new computer and am having the same problem in trasferring cs6 to the new computer. Unfortunately I have deactivated cs6 on this computer and at present cannot use it at all.

Contact Support team to sort this out.

Serial number not accepted when installing

I received photoshop elements 10 as a present. I wanted to wait until we had our new computer to install (Mac OS) but now the disc seems out of date and I can't install it. I tried downloading the updated version online, but it won't accept my serial number

You need to install the version that the serial number is assigned to. There shouldn't be any reason for the disc to fail, but you can try downloading version 10 and see if that works...

Serial number not working with upgrade from production studio

I have an old WinXP with the first Adobe CS Production Studio Premium that I've been using for more than six years.
I recently had to reinstall my system and now I have an install error with serial number. The Prod Studio Prem is an upgrade
to the Video Collection Standard. It errors on the screen when it ask for the previous version of AfterEffect and Encore.
I had this issue before. Adobe support provided me another number and it worked.
The odd thing about it is the install asks for AE 3.0 or later and I have AE6.5. It also asks for Encore 1.0 or later and I have Encore 1.0 & 1.5. If I can remember back several year when I called ADOBE support they said even though I qualified for the upgrade the issue probably was with the previous AE standard serial number wasn't working in the install screen. I've lost the new serial numbers now and I'm unable to reinstall.
I'm not upgrading until next year. How can I get this working until then?

if you don't have the old version installed you'll be prompted for both the serial number of the old version and the upgrade. you have to use the correct serials when prompted.

Serial Number not recognized for upgrade

I entered the Serial Number on the back of the box for Adobd PHhotoshop CS3, but received an error message which said it was invalid and to contact customer support. Does Customer Support monitor this Forum? How do I contact them?

that’s where I was already - how do I contact a real person I can talk to on the phone or live chat online?

Serial number "not qualifying" for upgrade

Everything works great through the PURCHASING process, but as soon as I try to use the expensive "upgrade" from ACROBAT PRO 9 to ACROBAT PRO XI, I'm told my Pro 9 SN doesn't qualify. Why? (Mac)
FYI - "chat" is useless on a Sunday apparently. So much for 24/7. I see this question has been asked multiple times without any resolve for anyone in the last TWO YEARS.

attn: Rajshree: I've tried responding to your email & clicking the "direct" link but nothing works. More Adobe hassle?
To answer your email about a replacement SN:
Why would I need a replacement when I already had a VALID full version SN? The issue has been taken care of, though it took a lot of unnecessary rigmarole to get there. I’ve been paying for full versions for over a decade (maybe 2?), so there’s no good reason for the hassle I’ve been through, but offering a replacement is a nice attempt at a solution, but it’s also a bit of a slap in the face, as if I’m trying to get one over on Adobe when it’s Adobe making it difficult/impossible for legitimate upgrades to be made hassle-free.

Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
Thank you,
Maryanne

Hi Maryanne,
This is now resolved. The bundle has been added to your account and you should have received an e-mail notification confirming this.

6th gen ipod nano serial number not being recognised by support

I have just tried to register my 6th gen ipod nano on Apple's website and I get a message that says the number is not recognised, recheck and try again. At first used number from nano box, then tried again after connecting nano to computer (same number appears of course) but still not being recognised. The fact that the serial number is not being recognised is not helpful when you need help from support as they also require this information before they will contact you. Why is my nano's serial number not being recognised? More to the point, how do I get apple to recognise it?

Are you sure aren't mistaking I's for 1's or O's of 0s?
If you head to Settings - General -> About, does it list the same serial # there?

How do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store?

how do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store now that the app store has discontinued selling the product?
Thanks
-Ethan

Purchases from the App Store do not include serial numbers. The App Store itself provides the licensing for the product. You will have to contact Apple to have them help you reinstall Lightroom through the App store (just because it is no longer for sale does not mean that you will not be able to download your past purchases).
