Photoshop keeps asking for Serial Number ( I already purchased it online)

Hi,
I bought the Photoshop app through the Adobe website for a yearly commitment as student. I downloaded Photoshop from creative cloud, then I try to open Photoshop, it asks me to sign in, I sign in then it asks whether I want to start a Trial or License This Software. Where in the world can I get the serial(license) number from?No one has provided me with one and I never got any confirmation e-mail that supposedly has the serial number. This is really making me angry because I really need photoshop for my class because I have homework that is going to be way over due if I do not get photoshop up and running by morning. I keep trying to contact someone through a live rep but NO ONE is giving me straight answers! please anyone help!
Thank you,
Katie

  • Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number

    Photoshop CC keep asking for Serial Number. Adobe has charged my credit card 5x since June, but my Photoshop CC still doesn't work.

    This is also happening to me.
    I've been a subscriber for the last year and a bit.
    I've moved to a new computer at home and since then I've been getting this prompt even though I'm signed in, everytime I've opened photoshop. Now the trial has expired and I'm cut off from using it.
    This is total BS.
    I've spent the last 2.5 hours going thru every adobe support doc they've posted. Nothing works. Two hour wait on the phone, 2.5 hour wait to chat (if I'm lucky and the window manages to stay open).
    Oh hey, I can see my breach notification from here too!
    You are on thin ice with me Adobe.

  • Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

    I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
    Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
    1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
    1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

  • Keeps asking for serial number since upgrading

    Just took the plunge and despite some dodgy reviews, I upgraded elements via a disc install. Now each time I open it, it asks for serial number and assumes I am still on trial. This despite my account showing it is registered. Also it has up graded and not brought any plug ins with it to the newer versions.
    Think I will just stick to Lightroom completely and write this version off.
    Any advice on sorting this buggy upgrade out?

  • Mac OSX Photoshop CS6 keep asking for serial number

    Hi, I don't know why, but since few days ago, my photoshop CS6 started to pop up with the trial message and ask me to enter serial number. However, I'm on a one year subscription for photoshop CS6 only, there is no serial number.
    I opened the software, and choosed "lincese this software" and then signed in with my adobe ID.  After that, the message ask me for serial number.  This didn't happen before.
    My systme is :
    Now it says I only have one day for the trial. Please help me to resolve this.
    Thanks
    Eric

    @CKPAD.co - The Adobe ID you are using to post here has never signed up for the Creative Cloud, not even a free/trial account. Are you using a different Adobe ID for a Creative Cloud subscription? If not this would be the correct behavior. The 30 day trial ends and you can either puchase a perpetual license (serial number) or a Creative Cloud subscription.
    Feel free to follow up with me by email at [email protected] since I do not want you share private information like your email address in public forum.

  • Adobe Application Manager Keeps Asking For Serial Number

    I bought CS6 Design Standard a few days ago, and although I have already validated the software, these last couple of days every time I open Photoshop, Adobe Application Manager thinks I am using a trial version and asks me to choose between continuing this trial and licensing the software. After I enter my serial number everything works fine but it is a nuissance to be entering the serial all the time. I never even had a CS6 trial installed on this computer before. Is there a way around this? Is this happening because of my firewall settings? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hello there,
    Rather than starting a new thread, I prefer to pile up on this one.
    I have the same problem. Quite regularly, Adobe Application Manager (AAM) ask me if I want ot carry onthe trial or enter a license. I entered my license so often that I know it by heart now.
    I'm under OSX 10.6.8 (iMac desktop), French language (same for CS6 standard).
    I have only one user, and it is an "administrator".
    Rather than asking about privileges, what are the files this application manager need access to? Where are they located? Which file? Who should be the owner and what should the permission be on those files? Would a "Repair permission" fix this for these application files (i.e. non system files)?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Pierre
    PS: The same CS6 is installed on a laptop under 10.8.2 (with same serial). I use it rarely. But there it does not seem to have the same issue. So far, AAM did not ask for serial again and keep updating happily.

  • App keeps asking for serial number (which I don't have)

    I've downloaded my app (Audition) that my company already purchased for me. The app keeps asking for my serial number (which I don't have). When I'm logged into Creative Cloud, Audition appears in my account. What gives?

    Hi Ratandeep Arora
    I followed the instructions, made the changes suggested, and it's still asking me for a serial number.
    I can't use my app that we paid for. Very frustrating.

  • CS6 for iMAC keep asking for serial number nearly everyday

    Hello,
    There is an iMAC (OSX 10.10) in my company which was purchased 2 years ago with CS6 Design Standard installed.
    There was no problem at all after the purchase.
    However recently, CS6 keep asking the user to type the serial number nearly everyday(see attached image); the software can be used normally once the serial number is entered.
    The user is a general user without admin privilege. Anyway I have tried to closed all adobe products, login with admin account and enter the correct serial number, it works as usual; however after one or two days CS6 still asking for serial again... so I guess this problem shall not related to user account privilege.
    I believe my serial key is a volume license key.
    Any suggestion? Thanks.

  • CS6 components keep asking for serial number

    I have a non-cloud CS6 Master collection. From time to time when I launch one of the components, Photoshop, Premiere, Encore, Illustrator, etc. I get a dialog: "Your trial is about to expire, Licence this software". After I enter the serial number the component launches and works fine. Then for a few days CS6 components launch fine and then the same poblem happens again. I have already entered my serial number over dozen times and it is still hapening. This is quite annoying.
    I saw other people asking similar questions on the Forum but have not seen a solution. Does anyone fom Adobe monitor this Forum and can tell us what's going on?
    Thanks,

  • Homesite keeps asking for serial number

    My Homesite 5.5 was working fine until a few weeks ago.  Now it continually asks for the serial number whenever I log in.  Even when providing it, the serial number screen will keep flashing until I cancel out.  Only after I provide the serial information (after canceling out) will the program open.  I am on Windows 7.  I wonder if one of their goofy upgrades has ruined my beloved program?

    Just started having this problem myself.
    I am thoroughly disgusted that Adobe has removed this wonderful little program from the update and support list.  I refuse to EVER use Dreamweaver.  If I wanted a program that bloated my code, inserted useless stuff without my knowledge, I'd use FrontPage.  Looks like I'll have to be trying out other programs.  This is really too bad.  It's a nice program.

  • Photoshop CC asks for serial number

    Hi all,
    Photoshop Creative Cloud, which I just subscribed to, is asking for a serial number. Adobe tech support told me to sign out, check connectivity issues, etc, and its not working.
    I think this is probably connected to an attempt someone made once to install Photoshop on my computer.
    I cannot access this site: https://lm.licenses.adobe.com/
    Does anyone know how I can undo whatever this person did to my computer? It seems to have blocked communication between Photoshop and the Adobe servers. I have no idea what they did. Also, FYI, I can connect just fine with Lightroom.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Thanks for the link - I tried fixing the hosts file, but I can't see if its working.
    This part:
    Start an Internet browser, such as Firefox or Internet Explorer, and go tohttps://lm.licenses.adobe.com.
    If you see a test successful message (see screenshots below), then you have access to the activation servers. Try activating or starting your software.
    I still can't access that site, even after resetting my hosts file. Could anything else be interfering with my ability to access that site?
    Thanks

  • CS5.5 Keeps asking for serial number!

    Hi,
    I have had 5.5 installed since it came out. I returned from a week away and it instantly promped me for a serial number which i provided. It accepted it but now keeps prompting me for it over and oevr again without letting me in to any of the programs! It is happy with the serial number provided (green tick) but then keeps asking me over and over for it. It's driving me insane! Can anyone help?
    I have tried ininstalling it and installing it again by way.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    I would call Adobe Customer Support. We are volunteers here and can't help with serial number issues.
