Problems installing CS6 on new hardware

My purchase of CS6 was an upgrade from CS5.  The device those were installed on is now dead and I am loading software on a new PC. When I attempt to enter the serial number I received upon purchasing the upgrade I get a message that there is no qualifiying product on the PC.  There of course is not, becuase the device that CS5 was installed on is now dead.  Do I have to figure out a way to install CS5 on this new device and then install CS6 on top of that?  That seems like a crazy approach, but . . .

(and thank goodness I still had that old CS5 box around - sometimes the packrat streak comes in handy).
The boxes don't really matter that much since you can usually re-download the installation files online.
But keep all your serial numbers safe and handy at all times. I store mine in a text file locally and in a text file on Dropbox so that I've always got access to them. Serial numbers are the only thing you buy that are unique to you when you buy software. Other than yourself and Adobe (if you registered) no-one here can help you with missing serial numbers.
When you re-install CS6 using your upgrade serial number, you'll always need your CS5 serial number to verify it.

  • NI-DAQmx 8.3.0f0 installed but Found New Hardware Wizard shows up when plugging in a USB-6008

    I have NI-DAQmx Device Driver 8.3.0f0 installed with LabVIEW 8.2 but when I plug in a NI USB-6008 I see the "Found New Hardware Wizard" in Windows XP.  Since the DAQmx driver is installed shouldn't Windows recognize the device immediately?
    I cancel the driver and I get the taskbar message "A problem occurred during hardware installation.  Your device may not work properly."
    The USB-6008 does not appear under Devices and Interfaces in MAX. 
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Ahh, I thought Windows performed an automatic search after cancel is clicked. 
    I clicked next and allowed Windows to search and it says:
    "Cannot Start this Hardware"
    There was a problem installing this hardware: USB-6008
    The device cannot start.  (Code 10)
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the results were the same.
    Any ideas?

  • Problems installing OSX Lion - new Mac Mini 2011

    Hi!
    I'm having major problem with my brand new Mac Mini.
    I wanted to upgrade it right away after reading so many succeful upgrading reports on various forums so I bought a 120GB Intel 320 SSD disk and 2x4 GB of Kingston 1333mhz ram. I swapped the drives right away and idiotically used to original drive in a case to create an external installation USB-drive (my 4GB USB drives didn't work).
    I then created a bootable USB-disk with the external original drive and tried to install but only get the circle with slash after selecting the drive in the "options" menu. If I remove the USB-drive I get a flashing folder icon. If start holding down Command + S I get a message saying that the "version of OSX is not supported on this platform".
    I also tried using the Recovery Assistant HD to create a bootable recovery tool but that gives the same results.
    In short:
    I can't install OSX Lion on a brand new Mac Mini with upgraded HD and Ram. I don't have the original installation anymore.
    Am I out of luck?

    Internet Recovery solved this problem. Option+Command+R.

  • Installing CS6 onto new imac from upgrades

    Hi
    I am wanting to install CS6 onto a new imac via the cloud. The CS6 I have is in disc format and is an upgrade from CS65.5.
    CS5.5 is also an upgrade from CS4.
    How do I install CS6 onto a new imac when I cant get install the original due to no CD drive?  Going mad!!

    Hi DonnaOxon,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums!
    Even if you have the CD version of CS6 you can  still download and install CS6 from the cloud. During the installation it will first ask you to enter the serial number for CS6 and on the next step it will automatically ask you to enter the serial number for CS5.5.
    The product will be licensed and installed once you enter these serial numbers correctly.
    Thanks

  • Problem installing software on new imac

    I am using a new imac and i tried to instal the software. It seemed to work with disk 1. I skipped verifying the disk though. Disk # 2 i will try to install. It will look like its finishing but then it will say problem instaling software. Please try again. I have tried it 2 times already. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Let me see if I have this straight.
    You are simply trying to install Mac OS 9.2 from disc 2, correct?
    What happens when you insert the disc?
    Does it mount on the desktop?
    Do you receive any errors?
    Are you able to double click the install classic icon?
    b I am using a new imac and i tried to instal the software. It seemed to work with disk 1.
    So you were trying to reinstall the system software from disc 1?
    Was this an upgrade of the software or a reinstall of what came with your computer?

  • Problems installing windows on new retina macbook pro

         Hi i am having problems installing windows on the latest retina macbook pro, I end up getting an error , cant install windows on this GPT partition style. I have tried booting into windows , and EFI, but it all ends up with the same error. Please HELP.

    Did you use Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive? If you want both Windows and Mac OS X on your Mac that is what you have to do.
    If you only want Windows then you can install it by itself but you have to delete all partitions on the drive and format it NTSF from inside the Windows installer or a third party Disk Management/Partitioning/Formatting program.

  • Problem installing CS6 on second computer

    Hi, I am trying to install CS6 design standard on a second Apple laptop. It runs on my older Mac Book, but in the licence it is said I can use it on two devices. Downloading was easy, but when I typed my serial number, it says there's is no qualified product found on my computer. I just downloaded that so, thats weird?

    There is nothing weird about what you encounter.  The message indicates you are installing an upgrade license version of CS6 and it is unable to find the older product on the machine that qualifies you for using the upgrade.  It should be providing you with the option to select that older qualifying version and enter the serial number for it.
