Photoshop CS6 windows won't install with my serial number given says not valid

I bought my extended photoshop cS6 in 2012 and installed on Mac computer now I'm trying to install on my new dell laptop with the windows disc and the serial number i have in my account under product is not valid?

You cannot use a Mac serial on Windows. Changing platform can be an expensive task. However, since CS6 is still current Adobe MIGHT convert the license for you if you contact them.

  • I have deactivated my CS6 on my old computer and now when I have downloaded a trial version and enter the serial number it says not valid? I have only used my license on one computer before? Does anyone know the problem?

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional won't install with new serial number from Adobe

    Having replaced my PC I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional but I was unable to activate registration as it had already been registered and is an 'old product'.  I have contacted the Adobe on-line advisor and was given a new serial number and a file to download. 
    The set-up wizard will not complete even though I type in the new number accurately and each time I've had to abort installation as it says it can't be verified.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or explain what I might be doing wrong please?
    Thank you

    Thank you Bill for replying.
    I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting.  Activation fails each time I've tried.  As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice.  They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it.  I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
    I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
    I'll now follow the link you've given me.   Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

    Get in touch with support. Also make sure you are not trying to input your eligibility verification code, but have converted it to a proper serial on the edu pages.

    After some serious hunting I finally found a link for live chat (that hunting also included switching to Internet Explorer where I had been using Chrome; I don't know if that's what made the difference). I gave the person at chat my redemption code; soon they came back and told me they had validated the code.
    I went to the code redemption page and put in the code, and AGAIN it came back invalid! A second visit to chat yielded a similar promise, but with instructions to go to my Adobe ID page and check for the serial number there, under Products and Plans. I went there, checked Products and Plans, and found no serial number.
    I was borderline homicidal at this point.
    Still on the ID page, out of desperation I clicked on the Other Products link, and there, FINALLY, I found the serial number. It worked when I ran the install program, and now PS 11 Elements is up and running on my computer.
    I would compare getting a serial number to PS 11 Elements to trying to find the Ark of the Covenant, except that finding the Ark is a cinch by comparison. I'm sure the difficulties I encountered were not of your making, but were the result of some horrible brain farts of those above you. Thanks for your help.

  • I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

    I started a trial of creative cloud and downloaded lightroom. I decided to buy lightroom on amazon because I liked it. Now when I try to license the trial version of lightroom with the serial number, it says it's invalid. Why?

    The standalone version and the CC version are both the same exact program, but the licensing is completely different. It will be necessary for you to uninstall the creative cloud trial version and then install the one you purchased from Amazon. After you install, you will be able to open the same catalog and continue from where you were.

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade from CS4 continually asks for serial number.

    I purchased an upgrade from Photoshop CS 4 to Photoshop CS 6 directly from Adobe in December of 2012. (My version of CS4 was originally purchased by me as part of a CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    My CS4 version has worked since 2009 with no licensing issues.
    I did not install the upgradeto CS6  immediately, I just installed it in August of this year, but I do not think that the problem stems from my delay in installation.
    What happens is that every 6-8 times that I open the program, I get a screen asking me to "License Creative Cloud", which I do NOT want.
    The only options I am given are: Join Now, License This Product, or Continue Trial.
    If I simply X out of the screen, Photoshop CS6 will not open at all.
    If I click: License This Product, I get a sign-in screen that asks for my serial number, which I fill in and then my program opens.
    I have tried customer support 3 times - one chat and 2 phone calls (all lasting at least 1 hour each time) and I am not getting the correct help to solve this issue.
    I am extremely frustrated and outraged that I am bothered by this stupid issue.
    Please help me to stop this screen about Creative Cloud from appearing and from having to constantly input my serial number.

  • I just bought Photoshop Cs6 Trying to install with the serial number and it is invalid

    what must i do

    You really need to talk with the seller.
    In general I'd suggest only buying Photoshop from Adobe directly.

  • I need help with my serial number - it's not working. The wizard is asking for 24 numbers - I only have 18?

    The serial number is on the back of the box my DVD came in.

    If you only have 18 numbers that's not a serial number. Try this first:

  • Goods issue with blocked serial number

    Hi All,
    I have the following issue:
    I use serial numbers in the delivery, this is mandatory, if the material has a mandatory serial number profile in the material master.
    In the delivery its possible to select for a free material a serial number that's blocked (stock type 07 Blocked stock) the system accepts that. This should not happen.
    Does somebody know how to solve this issue
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Receive again with correct item code and ware house with same serial number.
    If not, Please explain with an example.
    Thanks & Regards,
