Purchased Student version from Amazon, key invalid.

I wish I didn't buy it from amazon, but I wanted the extra money off as I am a student with barely any money. Anyway, the product key they provided me isn't working. What should I do? I'm about ready to tell amazon to give my money back for selling me a fake key.

I will be surprised if amazon sold you a dodgy product.  Either you can't read the serial number or that you are not pressing the correct keys on your keyboard.
The best you could do is to write down the serial number in a plain text file in Notepad and get it double checked by somebody in your family or ask your friend to read it for you.  when you are satisfied it is correct, all you need to do is to copy that serial number and paste it in the boxes at the time of installation or after you have finished installing the product.  The product can be installed without the serial number and you can run it in trial mode for 30 days until you have sorted out the number issues.
Good luck.

  • Student version from Amazon but can't activate as it is northern America version

    I recenlty purchased a student version from Amazon and when i received it was for north America. I am a student in Australia and need to activate it.
    Can i get this version activated or who can i speak to?
    cheers

    Simply return it. Edu versions must be bought through local channels in order to obtain proper serials. Since obviously you are not able to prove eligibility by presenting papers from an NA school/ college/ university, you're running in circles. Anyway, talk to Adobe support by phone or live online chat, there may still be a way.

    i purchased windows 7 from amazon and i just received it. they sent me windows 7 home premium "OEM System Builder Pack". the instructions say "Intended for system builders only". also says " must be per installed on the hard drive of a fully assembled computer system, using the OEM Preinstallation kit (OPK)."

    System Builder - just be sure to get 64-bit version, no one needs or wants 32-bit today, and only comes with one, while retail ships with both 32/64-bit media.
    you can't install it and activate on different hardware later is all, and by then for what you saved, so what, Windows 8 or SP2 will be out.
    A few people had trouble with Windows 7 SP1 for some reason and not sure exactly why, changes to the boot loader on the DVD I presume.

  • Purchased Lightroom 5 from Amazon 5/14; moved it to new PC; can't develope now

    Purchased Lightroom 5 from Amazon in May, 2014;  We moved it to the new PC and now it won't let me use Develop Mode.  Any suggestions?

    ..and herein lies the problem.
    I'm assuming that the version you bought from Amazon was the standalone Lightroom 5 but you have since "updated" with a CC version. 
    You won't be able to use this version unless you have a CC subscription.  Again I'm assuming you don't have one.
    To use the updated standalone version you need to un-install the CC version and download the latest version of the standalone version.  You'll also need the serial number that came with your original disk.
    Downloads from here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1

  • I purchased an album from amazon, how can i download it from Amazon cloud to my itunes on my iphone

    I purchased an album from Amazon on my iPhone last night. The album is in Amazon Cloud and I have downloaded it to my device. The album, however, does not show up in my iTunes on my phone, I can only see it if I go into Amazon Cloud Player app.  Is there a way I can transfer those songs from Amazon Cloud Player to my iTunes music app on my phone?

    You can get the Amazon app for your iPhone: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/amazon-cloud-player/id510855668?mt=8
    However, this will not add the music to your iTunes library. You will need to use it for your Amazon music and the iPhone built in Music app for your iTunes music.

  • Unable to open purchased student version "Evaluatio​n Software has Expired"

    I recently purchased a student version of Labview 2011 from Academic Software Downloads | OnTheHub eStore.  It worked for about a month.  Now I receive an error message when opening Labview: "This Evaluation Software has Expired".  Why is this happening?
    The installation instructions provided by OnTheHub eStore stated that no activation or serial number was needed when installing on a Mac.
    I am confused, because I thought I had purchased a student license, but I seem to have been given an limited time evaluation copy.  How could this have happened?  Can I do anything about it?

    I did not previously install the trial version of LabView on my MAC, at least not intentionally. I do know that I never installed a trial version which is available directly from the Labview website.
    The weird thing is this: It appears that I did not download and install the student version of Labview from Academic Software Downloads | OnTheHub eStore. It seems that instead I downloaded and installed a trial version of Labview from this download site. I don't understand how this happened, because I purchased the student version.
    I am currently communicating with customer support at Academic Software Downloads | OnTheHub eStore. Should I do anything else at this point?
    Thank You

  • How to get from Amazon key to Adobe key

    Hi, I bought Photoshop Elements as a download for my son from Amazon, and got a key from them, which has to be exchanged for/transmuted/transferred into an Adobe Serial number or product key for activation/download. How do we get there? I have the purchase receipt from Amazon...

    Does this link help?

    I pod classic, purchased and downloaded a MP3 song from amazon. Plays properly on computer, but only plays a  short period of time on I pod by itself, then goes to another song. Snyc problem? Any ideas.

    Does this only happen with the tracks you have downloaded from the iTunes Store?  Perhaps you should work the suggestions in this Apple support document first.

  • How do you transfer Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student version from old computer to new computer?

    i just got a new computer and got my Adobe Acrobat XI Pro Student and Teacher Edition installed from my old computer; however on my new computer, it's only showing up as Adobe Reader and not the Acrobat XI Pro version. I've only had it for less than 3 months and it is NOT a trial version. It is fully paid for. Please help. Thanks!

    Same problem here. I deactivated Tech Comm Suite, and when I got my new laptop, I installed the new Tech Comm Suite, which is fully licensed. It won't let me open Acrobat.
