Purchased serial number for iWork 08
I just bought a new MacBook Pro with Leopard. I tried to start Pages '08 but it is asking for a purchased serial number. Where do I look for this number among all the disks and manuals that came with the computer?
Thanks,
Dave
iWork comes as a demo version with your computer. Once the demo expires you have to purchase it to keep it working.
This is what came on your MacBook Pro. This is from the sale page.

Purchased serial number for iWork 08 does not work
Hi--I recently downloaded the trial version of 08, then went and purchased the serial number once it ran out. The serial number is rejected when i try to use it--just says it's invalid. in the email i got with the serial number, the link showing how to use it leads me to an upgrade from 06 to 08. But I have never had 06. Very puzzled--have been onto Apple for telephone support but they can't solve it. Any clues? Thanks
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Did you copy & paste the serial number or enter it by hand? This iWork serial number tip written for iWork '05 has several tips that a valid for all versions. -
Hi,
Where can I purchase the serial number for Iworks, or purchase and download Pages for OSX 4.11?
Thanks so much in advance for your help!
AndreaYou can search Google, eBay, Amazon, and Craigslist to find an old version of iWork for a PPC Mac. Probably needs to be iWork 6 or earlier.

Hello, I'm fairly certain only Apple could provide you with a good one, but not sure they still do for '08.

Cannot submit serial number for iwork 06
Inactive submit button for serial number for iwork 06. the button is "ghosted" grey and does not respond
larry,
There's really only one reason the button would stay
gray, and that's if the serial number you've entered
is invalid. Most of the serial number-entering
problems were with iWork '05, so I'm surprised to
hear of a problem with '06. My suggestion:
carefully reenter the number, making sure you don't
confuse zeros with capital ohs- or the number 1 with
a small L. If you're absolutely certain you've
entered the number correctly, and it still won't
cooperate, you may need to call Apple tech support.
We've heard of cases where the serial number was
just plain defective. Sorry I can't be more help.
-Dennis
Thanks. I've re-entered the number many times and the problem persists. I think the problem is the button window itself . Normally the submit button is active but since I upgraded my operating system to Tiger I have notice a similar problem in Quicken download. Is it a glitch in the upgrade?

HT3396 how to buy serial number for iwork
how to buy serial number for iwork
I'm sure the problem is that you have the trial of iWork '09 installed. It's a "giitch" in the installer code that Apple has not fixed. 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 much to purchase serial number for trial version of Premier Elements 11?
A trial versin of Adobe Premeir Elements 11 came with my Photoshop Elements 11. How much for a serial number, and what page can I go to get one?
javair
Good question. Here is my take on this.
Adobe is not selling Premiere Elements 11 anymore. It is now selling its current version Premiere Elements 12. And, its free tryout download from Adobe is for Premiere Elements 12. And, no problem purchasing a serial number for version 12 from them.
There should be no problem in trying out the Premiere Elements 11 as per the installation disc that came with the Photoshop Elements 11 purchase. But, when it comes to purchase of Premiere Elements 11, the only scenario that I am seeing is
Find an authorized reseller who still has Premiere Elements 11 stock. Purchase that product. And, then you have 2 choices
a. insert the serial number that comes with the purchased Premiere Elements 11 into the tryout already installed on your computer
or
b. uninstall the tryout, install your purchased Premiere Elements 11 with the serial number that comes with it.
A typical place that might have a Premiere Elements 11 in stock is Amazon. Have you looked there?
You could contact Adobe for input on the matter, but I suspect that you will get steered to purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

Your problem probably comes from dragging over or migrating the installation over to a new Mac or upgrade.
You have to install from scratch or it goes into demo mode and asks for a serial number.

TS3897 where do you find serial number for iWork
I have installed iWork 09 .. and it is promting me to enter my serial number, however I dont know where to locate this.. can anyone help ?
If iWork is asking for a serial number it is because at one time you installed the original downloaded demo version of iWork. Did you purchase a serial number from Apple? If so you should have an email containing the serial number and you should be able to logon to Apple's online store, access your account, and find the serial number in your past purchases.
If you purchased the boxed version version or from the App store see this article to learn how to fix the problem. -
How do I obtain a serial number for iWork 09 Trial?
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on an early-2009 iMac, and I don't want to upgrade to 10.8 or 10.9.
I can't run the new version of iWork software, but I still have a copy of iWork '09 Trial which I had saved on a USB Pen.
When I try to run it now I am prompted for a serial number - which I'm happy to purchase, but I can't seem to find whereabouts I can find this. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
ThanksThe iWork 09 applications are now end of life, meaning; you can no longer purchase a licence from Apple, or purchase and download from the Mac App Store.
The only option is to buy an iWork 09 DVD from some where, there are plenty available from Amazon or Ebay. -
How do I get lost serial number for iworks 08?
I had to erase my HD and reinstall everything. I installed iWorks '08 and went to open up Pages and it's asking me for a serial number. I've looked everywhere but can't find the single piece of paper that has it on there.
Is there a way of getting it without having to buy a new one?
ThanksIf you bought it from the Apple Store see if they can reissue the receipt.

I have tried all numbers on the side of the box, tried capital letters, tried O instead of zero and still cannot get the computer to accept it. What next?
I just received my boxed iWork'08. I installed it, but when I tried to enter the serial number it doesn't accept it. What's the trick I'm missing?
