Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
Problem somehow resolved itself?!

  • Finding the photoshop cs4 serial number

    So, I'm wanting to put Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my new computer but can't find the e-mail with the serial number in it. I've used countless softwares but no serial found works.
    The question now is: How do I find the serial?

    If you bought it as a download from Adobe, click the red logo at the top of this page, then the My Adobe link, and finally the My Products link.  You can retrieve your serial number from Adobe's web pages.

  • CS4 Serial Number coming up invalid after years of use

    I purchased the CS4 Master Collection some time ago, I know it is really out dated, but it works for me , now I am being prompted to enter my serial number when opening the programs (which worked yesterday???). When I put in my PAID for number I'm getting a red 'X' instead of a green check mark. How can I resolve this? The suite has been on my new PC for over 2 years with no problems until now.

    Yeah, I did last night, but all they could tell me is the serial number is invalid and provide proof of purchase. Unfortunately, I bought CS4 probably 5 years ago and finding a receipt is a slim chance. They won't help until then.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code

    I bought Photoshop Elements 12 and I cannot install it..It says invalid serial number and says invalid Redemption Code when I try that way.  I need the program and because I have opened the box it can't be returned to the store.  I have over $100 tied up in this product that I can't use.  Someone said install the free trial version...Ok, I did...but it is just a 30 day trial and I want the full version of the product I paid for!! So how do I get a valid serial number?  The serial number on the box and the redemption code card both come up as invalid.  Not a very happy customer right now!!

    You will need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by phone.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use

    In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site  and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
    Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
    [personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
    [This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
    Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
    Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
    Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
    How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
    Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • How Do I Find My Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number?

    How do i find dreamweaver cs4 serial number?

    If it's registered, you would just log into your Adobe account and it will be listed there under Applications and Subscriptions.
    Otherwise, it's either on your installation disk, or in the original email (which you printed and saved for future use, right?) that you got when you purchased the download from your online retailer of choice.
    If none of the above, you're probably stuck, Adobe no longer supports CS4.

  • Cannot activate CS4 serial number

    Is anyone else having problems with activating CS4 serial number. I bought a student version of CS4 recieved my serial number after verifying student status, upon entering the serial number it was rejected, I tried unistalling the application and reinstalling, same result. I went onto the Adobe website to contact them, it is so hard to do that. I tried the 1800 Australia number only to be told by a recorded message that the office hours closed at 5pm it was 430 pm when I called (I made allowances for daylight saving time). I need help as I want to use CS4 but can't. I have checked that I have entered the numbers correctly and included the dashes where appropriate.

    Thanks Bob, but I'm nearing the end of the 30 days and I bought this for my son for Christmas so I'm getting a bit antsy to have this problem resolved. I also think it is crazy that I phoned the support line half an hour prior to closing time and received a recorded message (I allowed for day light saving time) stating that they were closed. Margie

  • Photoshop CS6 Serial Number Ineffective

    My Photoshop CS6 serial number won't work.  When entered I get a message telling me that two machines are in use and I must disconnect one of them.  If I can find a way to get around this fine, otherwise i will need another "workable" serial number and would like to know how to go about getting one if this is the case.

    You are only allowed to have the software activated on two machines at any given time.  The way around this is to deactivate one of the installations if you are aware of where these two existing installations are.
    If you are not aware of any other installations and/or this is a newly acquired serial number, then you need to contact Adobe Support by chat or by telephone.
    Here are some links to help make contact:
