Photoshop prompts for serial number after purchasing photography subscription

Hello, recently I got photography subscription. After signing into cloud photoshop asks me for a serial number.
I had a chat with adobe representative who recommended me to contact tech support, he stated that on Adobe side I have no subscription registered (though I have one in my user profile and I have an order id).
On contact page it's been said that support is overloaded, so here I am ...

The My Products may only show things that have been registered, which you cannot do because PS-CC is asking for a serial number, so maybe it is normal that nothing is listed, there, yet.
Check for evidence of your subscription, here, in the orders section:
https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html
For mine, I see both a subscription purchase confirmation and a list of the monthly transactions, similar to what is listed in two parts on creative.adobe.com.
If nothing is listed at this www.adobe.com link then there may be a purchase problem due to non-Adobe payment order servicer, and you may find relief with someone like the Beverly that seems to fix people's purchasing/credit-card issues, after they post to this forum; however, your forum-post subject, which mentions serial-number problems, not purchasing problems, suggests a tech-support solution so it may be overlooked by someone like Beverly.
If something is listed for your purchase on www.adobe.com then the issue could be a problem with licensing or the CC Manager app data stored on your local computer, whatever is making PS-CC think it needs a serial number, and probably someone from tech-support needs to connect remotely and hack something to get PS-CC to figure out you are licensed.  Usually logging out and back into the CC manager is enough to have the CC Manager rescan and figure things out, but that is usually for cases where a serial-number isn't being asked for and the CC Manager app doesn't see that PS is licensed.
Another thought is that maybe the type of purchase you made via DigitalRiver does have some sort of serial-number associated with it that would be included in some order confirmation correspondence, so check any e-mails or digital-receipts that you received as part of the order process to see if a serial-number is listed.
Finally, where did you get the version of PS-CC that you installed?  If it was not from the either a button in the CC-Manager app or an icon on the creative.adobe.com pages then it may be the wrong version and the fix would be to uninstall what you have and download and install the CC-Manager/Creative version, and it might be worth doing this, anyway, even if you do think you installed the right version, in case something didn't quite work in the first install.  I don't know if your European location would cause the wrong version to be downloaded.

  • Payment made for lightroom and photoshop joint package, still prompted for serial number

    payment made for lightroom and photoshop joint package, still prompted for serial number which I have not been given. what do i do next?

    Hi ,
    I think you have downloaded the program directly from adobe. As you have the Photography plan, then you have to download this from Creative Cloud Desktop then they will be activated through with your email address. Then it will not ask for serial number.

  • Where to find serial number after purchasing numbers online

    where can i find the serial number after purchasing numbers online?

    As I wrote in another thread in this forum earlier today, you probably have the trial of iWork '09 on your hard drive. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    how to find the serial number, after purchase Pages online?

    If you downloaded the standalone trial version of Lightroom, it will be necessary for you to uninstall that version. Then you will be able to install Lightroom through the creative cloud application manager. After you install Lightroom that way, just double-click on the catalog that you have already started.

  • 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

  • ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

    Hello All,
    I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number...  Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
    Many Thanks in Advance!
    App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

    Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
    1. Launch the App Store app
    2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
    3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
    4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
    5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
    6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
    7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
    8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
    9. Click "Install"
    After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

  • Prompted for serial number when launching Acrobat Pro XI

    Keep being asked for a Serial Number Upgrade when trying to open trial version of Acrobat Pro XI.
    Had previously purchased and installed full version, but found out the Pro 9 serial number I had been using was not eligible for upgrade, so I uninstalled full version and installed trial version.
    How can I prevent it from prompting for Upgrade Serial Number? Probably something left over in Registry from that Pro XI purchase.
    Sure would be nice if it had prompted for the upgrade serial number BEFORE I purchased, uploaded and installed the upgrade, rather than finding out afterwards it wasn't eligible. Plus, it uninstalled my Pro 9 in the process, so now I'm left with nothing.

    Excellent suggestion; should have thought of that.
    However, after running Cleaner to remove Pro XI, rebooting, reinstalling Pro XI Trial and rebooting, it still prompts me from same Serial Number Upgrade dialog box as when I purchased Pro XI.
    It didn’t recognize my Pro 9 serial number in the original purchase/install because turned out Pro 9 was a Beta version. But that box keeps coming up when trying to use Pro XI Trial.

  • Photoshop asking for serial number when I have an active Creative Cloud subscription

    I purchased a year subscription to Creative Cloud and when I launch Photoshop and click on license software, it shows my correct adobe id but then asks me for a serial number. How can I fix this? I am on Mac OS X v. 10.8.2

    Hi Cujodvm,
    If you had a beta version of Photoshop CS6 you would want to uninstall it and reinstall through the Adobe Application Manager. So long as it was installed through the Adobe Application Manager you should only have to click the "License this software" button and sign in with your Adobe ID.
    There is an issue with Photoshop CS6 specifically happening right now in which the product reverts to trial after the 3rd or 4th launch, our engineering team will be addressing this soon with another product update. I'm not sure if that is related or not.
    We have this document about the issue

  • Keep getting prompt for serial number on Trial Acrobat XI Pro

    The other day I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro for US $199. After downloading and installing, the activation failed because my Acrobat Pro 9 serial number turned out to be Beta, and therefore not eligible for the upgrade.
    So I uninstalled XI Pro, ran Adobe Uninstaller Tool, rebooted, then downloaded/installed Acrobat XI Pro Trial. But when I try to run Trial version, it keeps prompting me with the same Serial Number Upgrade dialog box that I got with the upgrade that didn't accept my Pro 9 serial number because it was Beta.
    How do I prevent XI Pro Trial from prompting for Upgrade Serial Number so I can use Trial before buying? I have never been able to run the Trial version, and am getting desperate because I need to try that before I purchase.
              Thanks in advance!!         ~Carol

    The prompt I receive is "left over" from the XI Pro UPGRADE version. There's a dropdown box where you choose the version you're upgrading from (Win Pro 9), then add the serial number, which is either approved or declined - in my case, declined because my Pro 9 was a Beta version (which I didn't know).
    It's that Upgrade version dialog that keeps popping up when I try to get into the Trial version, forcing me to choose from the same list of versions as I did when trying to get into the Upgrade version.
    If that dialog box left over from the Upgrade installation pops up with the Trial install, how do I know it won't also pop up if/when I purchase the Full version? I really want to get this all cleared up and working correctly (i.e., actually using the Trial version) before risking more trouble by introducing another element. No amount of Windows uninstalling plus Adobe Uninstaller Tool for all Acrobat products (plus, of course, rebooting) has overcome this.
    And, just to be clear: I've never been able to "activate" the Trial version of Pro XI, so it's not like it's looking at this as a second install of Trial.
    Meanwhile, I've again uninstalled all versions of Acrobat and reinstalled my Pro 9 to continue working on a project. But I know if I reinstall XI Pro Trial, that same dialog box from the Upgrade (forcing me to choose a version + serial number I'm upgrading from) will pop up, as I've been through that before.
    The whole thing could have been avoided if only Adobe had forced me to enter the serial number for my Pro 9 BEFORE paying for, downloading and installing the XI Pro Upgrade.
    Thanks for bearing with me on this. The one bright spot is that my refund for the Upgrade is being processed.          ~Carol

  • How to get a serial number after purchase

    I downloaded Lr and trialed the product for a month.  I then signed up for the monthly fee which included Ps.  I can access Ps but when I go to Lr it asks me for a serial number which has not been supplied.  On the help pages it states "You can convert your trial to a Creative Cloud complete or single-app membership by purchasing on the Creative Cloud website. After you purchase your membership, your desktop product trial will automatically be licensed upon relaunch".  I have closed down my Mac overnight but on opening up it still asks me for a serial number so I cannot open Lr?  Help!

    If you downloaded the standalone trial version of Lightroom, it will be necessary for you to uninstall that version. Then you will be able to install Lightroom through the creative cloud application manager. After you install Lightroom that way, just double-click on the catalog that you have already started.

  • All Final Cut Studio 2 products keep prompting for Serial Number

    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    1) Bought Final Cut Studio 2
    2) Installed it with the provided Serial Number
    3) Registered
    4) Opened each product - was prompted to enter name and serial number
    5) Tried reopening stuff like DVD Studio Pro 4, Final Cut Pro etc.. and am re-prompted with the same blanks to enter name and serial number... this happens even when I restart the computer.
    What gives?

    OK, I just spoke with Apple Care and got it fixed...
    I like when things work this well.
    Here is my simple translation of what he told me
    A) Make sure you have closed all applications.
    1) go to this folder:
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    2) Find any file that has "_SystemID" in the name
    i.e. FinalCut_ProSystemID, DVDStudio_Pro_SystemID
    etc... These are left over from your previous versions.
    DELETE THESE FILES - yes all of them.
    Empty the trash too
    3) Restart Final Cut Pro and enter your Serial Number
    This is nice because now ALL of Studio 2.0 is serialized!
    4) Enjoy Final Cut Studio.

    Troubleshooting serial number issues with professional products
    If you're having difficulty entering a serial number when activating your professional software product, keep these tips in mind:
    * Make sure you are reading from the original serial number label that came with the product.
    * Be sure to enter your first and last name, and verify there are no mistakes in the serial number field.
    * Some numbers and letters look similar, so make sure you don't mistake a zero for the letter O and the number 1 for the letter i or lowercase L.
    * Enter the dashes in the serial number.
    * Make sure there are no spaces before or after the serial number.
    * Make sure that the serial number is valid for the product you're trying to serialize, for example:
    o Soundtrack serial numbers are not valid for serializing Soundtrack Pro
    o Upgrade serial numbers cannot be used with Academic or Not for Resale numbers from a previous version
    * If you've already serialized your application and downloading an update causes it to stop working, try removing your System ID file and enter your serial number again. The System ID file for your product is located in
    /Library/Application Support/ProApps/
    Remove the appropriate file for your product, then launch the application and enter your serial number again.
    Also see the "Installing Your Software" document that is available on the Install disc in the Documentation folder, or as a download from the AppleCare Support manuals page or from these direct links:

  • Lightroom 2.4 Always Prompting for Serial Number

    Okay, earlier today I had trouble with the installation not completing after I put in my serial number.  A kind person here suggested that I delete the version residing on my machine, download the 2.4 version off the web, and put in my serial number. That worked fine.  I got the software up and running with no issues.
    My problem now is that if I close and then relaunch, it prompts me for my serial number and registration information EVERY SINGLE TIME.
    This is going to get old really quickly.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    If you had a previous version it is the prefs file that is causing problems.Delete it. See here
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404835.html
    The open up LR, enter your licence number and all should be well.
    See also
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401346.html
    This problem often occurs when people have downloaded a trial and then brought the software on CD. Rather than just entering the serial number in the downloaded version they un install and re install using the earlier version on the CD. If you did this then hopefully just deleting the prefs file will work, but if it doesn't you may have created other problems and although the second document refers to LR 1 I have seen reports that it also works with LR 2
