"qualifying product" error when downloading/installing cs6 and trying to enter serial number

When i download PS CS6 and try to enter my serial number i get:  "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer".  Just plain CS6 isn't available in the drop down. CS6 extended is available but i don't want that nor do i have a serial number for that.  What is the appropriate action?

this is quite confusing in the installer. I got stuck and it took me quite a while to figure it out.
Not clear what is meant by "qualifying product" -- rewording would help a lot of people
Something like
THis serial number is for an UPGRADE to a prior version of Creative Suite.
You need to provide the serial number of the PRIOR copy (version 5.5 or earlier)
Please select which product below you are upgrading FROM and provide the serial number from the version you are upgrading FROM

  • Just installed CS6 and trying to update, Windows 8.1 tried disabling security still not updating. Version 13.0 any suggestions ? Thank you

    Once in awhile, they do have bug fixes for CS6. The only thing I can think of that was an upgrade for CS6 was a newer version of camera raw. For now they are allowing CS6 to have the latest version of camera raw, but when they are done with supporting CS6, I imagine that will be the last of the upgrades. I don't know of any dates, but I heard it wasn't for a long time if at all. So I guess we will all have to wait and see.
    As for getting updates, I think you will like the manager. It makes it much easier. Frankly I didn't know the manager worked on the perpetual license. I knew it worked on the subscription. So it is good to know that it works for you as well.

How do i sort this out!? It is very frustrating as the main reason i have bought  a mac is to use logic! Any help would be great as i am a complete novice when it comes to Macs!

    You're probably on OS X Lion?
    I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

  • Error when downloading/installing Lion 10.7.3....

    Hi,
    I was about 50% of the way downloading the latest Lion update when I got the following error:

    Finally managed to get everything working after getting the error below via Software Update:
    Strangely enough, when I went to turn off my Mac last night, I was then prompted to either 'Install Update then Shutdown' or just 'Shutdown'. I chose the latter.
    Here are the steps that I took before downloading/installing update:
    1) Turn off iMac
    2) Unplug TimeMachine HD
    3) Restart iMac and launch Disk Utility
    4) Verify / Repair Macintosh HD
    5) Download Lion 10.7.3 Client Combo
    6) Install Update and let iMac restart
    7) Turn off iMac and plug-in TimeMachine HD
    8) Turn on iMac and let TimeMachine do its thing (took about an hour)
    Everything ran smoothly and system seems to be woking fine.

  • Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) Now have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but won't accept serial number

    Had CS4 on Power PC Mac (Non Intel) along with prior Photoshop versions. Now I have new iMac and trying to install CS6 but it won't accept my original serial number (Starts with PSW401, etc.).

    I know what you are saying. I had purchased the CS5.5 upgrade, and a week later got the CS6 upgrade. I did this back in 2012. I had a old Mac Power PC which does not allow you to install CS5.5 or CS6 because it was not an intel processor. So even though I had the upgrades I never installed them. I waited until my old MAC died which it did this past weekend. And now that I have a new iMac I tried to install the new software. All of my past upgrades referenced my original Photoshop that was still resident on my old Mac. But since the install no longer has that reference because of the new computer, it will not accept any of my past serial numbers that it needs for the install.

  • Acrobat X Pro stop working on CS6 and requires a new serial number

    Hello all! I faced this problem several times running Window 8 Professional 64Bits. For a reason which I could not understand, in a certain momment Acrobat X Pro, installed under the CS Design & Web Premium package, stop working. It simplys could no longer be launched. I click on the Acrobat icon, or run it mannualy by the command window, and it is like it does not exist. The hard drive light blink a litle bit and stop with no error message. I have already tried to unisnstall the Acobat using the CS6 uninstall interface, reboot the computer and install it again, using the CS6 interface and under the new installation Acrobat is recognized as a stand alone software and request me a new Acrobat serial number. The new installation did not recognize the CS6 serial number.
    The only action that has worked in the past is remove completelly the CS6 and reinstall the full package again. I would not like to do it since I have my dreamweaver full loaded of servers configurations and it will take a long time to recover all environment as it is now.
    Therefore I decided to ask for help. Does anyone could give me any idea how to turn around this?

  • I am trying to re-install CS6 but it says my serial number is incorrect.

    I am using the same number that is on my box as well as my adobe id. 
    The reason I am doing this is I had a trial of Adobe Pro XI but decided not to use it so I need to reinstall Adobe Pro X

    Hi Michael,
    The provided serial key is a valid serial for Design and Web Premium CS6 Upgrade.
    To use the serial number you need to have the serial number fo the previous qualifying version handy as the installer will prompt to enter the olde serial number as well.

  • I HAVE A MAC AND I PURCHASED A COPY OF PHOTOSHOP CS6 AND CANNOT FIND THE SERIAL NUMBER.

    I PURCHASED A DVD OF PHOTOSHOP CS6 EXTENDED. THERE IS A STICKER ON THE BACK OF THE CARTON THAT BEGINS WITH: DVS/A. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO REGISTER THE PRODUCT, I ASSUMED THAT THIS IS THE SERIAL NUMBER BUT THE REGISTRATION APPLICATION DOES NOT ACCEPT ANY ALPHA CHARACTERS. IF THIS IS NOT THE SERIAL NUMBER, WHERE IS IT?

    The serial number is a 24 digit number, on a card included inside the dvd case.

  • If my LR3 CD is cracked, can I download trail version and activate with my serial number?

    Hi,  I bought a copy of LR3 a little over a year ago and it has only been uploaded to my desktop PC.  Yesterday I bought a new computer and found that my CD of LR3 is cracked and could not be uploaded to the new computer.  Can I download the free trail version and activate it with my serial number?  Or can I move the whole program off of my old computer onto a DVD and transfer it to my new computer?  I don't want to have to buy it again since I've only had it one year and only had it on one computer.  Please help!

  • Had installed cs4 trial version, then tried to enter serial number, but it was invalid and now I can't seem to reinstall the trial version as I had been using, as it comes up serial number invalid even though I am just asking for a trial basis of 30 days.

    does anyone know what to do next so I can continue to use the trial versions of cs4. It appears as I have been kicked out for good because I entered the serial number wrong. Spoke to a rep and they said this was not available to purchase online, as it is an older version, but I need the old version to use the halftone option they have on cs4. sure would appreciate some advice, thanks to anyone who might have the answer.

    If the trial version is indicating it is no longer available and you need to enter the serial number to activate it then that is the end of the trial version for that machine.  If you have another machine then that will be one way of getting the trial version running for another trial period.
