Photoshop CS5 serial number not working?

I bought and downloaded Photoshop CS5 from this site about two years ago, and since then have purchased a new computer. I want install CS5 on this new computer, but my account isn't listing CS5 under my lists of products. When I try and register the serial number I found under my program's System Info, I get an error message that says my serial number isn't valid.
A little while ago, adobe had an information leak and my account was one of the ones listed as possibly compromised- could this be the issue?
If not, why won't it let me register CS5 to my account? I really want it on my new computer. I purchased the product legitimately and I don't want my money disappearing after only two years.

Explain your situation to Customer Support, and see if you can submit some sort of proof. For example a credit card statement. Your bank can help you with that. See if your ISP can fish up the email.
Also if you purchased it as an Educational discount, you might get in touch with that section.
We are users and perhaps a Staff member may drop by, but for now that's the best advice.

  • Photoshop CS2 Serial Number Not Working

    I recently got a new laptop, and I want to transfer the CS2 activation from my old desktop to my new laptop. I deactivated CS2 on my old computer, but when I try to activate it on my new laptop, I'm told that the serial number isn't valid.
    I use Window's Vista.
    Thanks!

    CS2 is not Vista compatible. You need to upgrade.
    And, once again, this is not correct. CS2 is not officicially supported for Vista, but, for most people, runs quite well.

  • Serial number not work

    Hi, I have a new computer now. I had Photoshop on my old computer and I do not deactivate it. My serial number not work on my new computer and old computer is unavailable. What have I do to activate Photoshop? Thanks.

    The license is for two copies of Photoshop by one user on two different computers that can not be used at the same time.Contact Adobe customer service by phone.  Only they can help you.
    They will deactivate both copies of Photoshop.

  • Why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    I would recommend utilizing a different web browser and contacting our support team directly as suggested by KGlad in message #6.

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

  • Cs5 serial number not allowed for cs6 upgrade?

    hello
    I am trying to install CS6 Design Premium (via CD) and have CS5. However I am denied installation because my CS5 serial number is not allowed (it appears I must have CS5.5).  All phone lines are engaged. As well as frustrating, this would seem a very poor 'stealth' trick. I have countless registered Adobe copies going back years and saw no warning re this possibility prior to purchase. Is installing from CS5 impossible?

    phew! I took your advice and after many dropped phone connections, I was able to speak to Prashant (Adobe service rep in India) who was able to take create a (temporary) support number for me to type in to the registration dialogue via the challenge code procedure. This appeared to bypass the registration dropdown issue and so allowed me to register... at last!
    In retrospect I am very grateful for your help and my good fortune in being able to speak to Prashant who was able to fix the problem over the phone. However I suspect this problem may occur to others and the solution seems far from easy when long phone queues and dropped connections add to the tortuous minefield of what is simply meant to be a registration process!
    best regards in all events

  • Lightroom5 Serial Number not working - GRRRR!

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a copy of Lightroom 5, but the serial number I received in the confirmation email to upgrade my copy of the software from a trial package to the real deal does not work. Any tips on how to get a new serial number or make this original one work??
    Thanks in advance!

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CS5 serial number

    Help Please!!  I recently purchased a new computer and I'm in the process of transferring programs and files.  I can't find my Photoshop PS5 serial number or Key code anywhere.  I don't want to upgrade to the cloud..  Can anyone tell me where I can find my serial number within PS5 like maybe help or something

    No, you cannot get the complete serial number from an installed program. that would completely defeat the purpose of the activation system. Contact support by web chat or phone, maybe they can help you.

  • Design Standard CS 5.5 serial number not working for Photoshop

    I am trying to install the Design Standard CS 5.5 but am having trouble with Photoshop.  All of the programs installed and open correctly except for Photoshop.  When I try to launch it, the Adobe Application Manager comes up saying that the serial number is "not valid for this product."  The serial seemed to work during the install and both InDesign and Illustrator launch without any problems.  I have also tryed uninstalling and then reinstalling Photoshop, but I still have the same problem.  I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Are you definitely installing Design Premium CS5, not a similar sounding Creative Suite? And not CS5.5?

  • Issue with CS5 deactivation on old computer and reactivation on new - serial number not working

    Please help - we are owners of Creative Suite Design Premium CS5 - I just recently switched my wife to a new computer using migration ( we have macs), when I try to deactivate the old license on the old computer it gives me an error, thus preventing me from activation on the new computer. At least, I think this is what the problem is, because I've tried every serial number I've ever received from adobe and none of them work.
    I know you want everyone to go to CC, but we've paid Adobe thousands of dollars over the years and I expect this software to work. Please help - this is the only way I can contact you with my problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. 

    This was the only available option to me, according to adobes site. Their lack of support for older software is mind boggling. So the only way for me to get to talk to someone is by fibbing on their extensive question list before the process actually begins. I guess I will try that if I don't hear from an Adobe team member here...

  • Upgrading to CS5.5 Design Prem from CS 4 Design Premium. Serial number not working.

    I am upgrading to CS5.5 Design Prem from CS 4 Design Premium. I am getting an error message that the serial number is not for a qualifying product.  How do I contact support to fix this?

    you'll first be prompted for your cs5.5 serial number.  you will then be prompted for your cs4 serial number.
    enter the correct number at the correct time.  otherwise, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
