Query Adobe License Keys in 6.0

Does anyone know of a way to query the license key used on a local client without having to visit each desk? Version 4 and 5 provided the key simply in the registry- hklm\software\microsoft\windows\uninstall\adobe..\productID- but this is not found anywhere on Version 6.0.

If you mean the serial number, you can find that here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\6.0\Registration
under SERIAL, but the number is encrypted.

  • Distributed query for license key

    Hello,
    I have a distributed query that I'm hoping is retrieving the license key information below:

    I'm noticing the 'key' is coming back the same across our 2012 instances and I'm pretty sure this isn't right. Am I retrieving the right value from the registry? I want to get the actual key that is installed when SQL is installed. Please help also feel
    free to borrow this code if you like.
    Thanks!
    phil

    Hi phil,
    The following query will return the serial number in binary format, you can convert this binary value to product key as other post. For more details, please review this similar
    blog.
    use master
    GO
    exec xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE','SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\Setup','DigitalProductID'
    GO
    Regarding to the product code, SQL Server consists of different products registered in the Registry. Each product has a product code (a GUID) as well as an installation package code (also a GUID). For more details, please review this similar
    thread.
    Additionally, for license issues, please call

  • B&H in NYC still selling CS6 Extended for students.  Is this legit? Will Adobe still provide the license keys for download?

    If I purchase Photoshop CS6 Extended (student edition) from B&H website, will I receive the Adobe license keys? I tried this at another university bookstore locally and could not make this work.  Got the impression Adobe is no longer providing keys to download this package.  Help please.

    Sounds legit.

  • Adobe licenses - import into SCCM (for reports purpose)

    Dear Adobe community
    Are there any good tricks for importing Adobe license keys from our Adobe Volume License web page into a SCCM 2012 server?
    There are some great reports in SCCM where you can check which Adobe products are installed on which computers, but I have yet to discover how to import them.

    Moving this discussion to the Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment forum.

  • I am having to reinstall Adobe Pro because of a hard drive failure. I have lost the License Key and need to know how to retrieve it so I can reinstall the product.

    How do I retrieve the Adobe Pro License key/# so I can reinstall on my computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced due to failure and don't have the necessary information to reinstall Adobe Pro.

    As this was a 1,000 USD + purchase I did registered back in 2008 when I got my copy of "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium". And now I'm in the same situation as you. I did go to manage my account and found my serial number.
    My disk crashed completely and I got everything back and running from my Time Machine backup. A few days ago Illustrator said there was a licensing issue. I tried all their gradual solutions up to the very last one: Reinstalling.
    I did that and inserted the Serial number; it worked. Now that I'm opening the Adobe Acrobat Pro it requires me to input the serial and it says is invalid!
    Anyone has an idea about this?

  • How do I enter CS6 license key when Adobe Application Manager immediately tries to authenticate against my expired Creative Cloud membership?

    I have CS6 Master Suite installed along side my now-expired Creative Cloud apps (I am evaluating whether to renew my subscription at this time). Both CS6 and Creative Cloud are currently unlicensed due to a snafu with my educational license, but I have a new CS6 license that I am trying to register CS6 with. However, upon launching any CS6 program, Adobe Application Manager then launches and tells me that my Creative Cloud membership is now expired. How/where to I enter my CS6 license key? I have already tried entering my new license on my Adobe account profile > “My products and services”, and reinstalled CS6 applications from my original disk image (MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.dmg).
    Thanks in advance,
    Liz

    Figured this one out from another thread, after which I was able to sign in again with my Adobe ID and my software was ready to use:
    Windows:
    Delete these folders
    SLStore from C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    SLCache from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    OOBE from C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Mac:
    Delete SLStore and SLCache from /Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Delete OOBE from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

  • Adobe does not recognize my license key.

    Hi there.  I want to transfer my Photoshop Extended software to a new laptop.  I only have 1 license -- I got it from a thrid party service and downloaded it to my old computer about 2 1/2 years ago.  It looks like I need the serial number in order to transfer it from one computer to another.  I still have my license key (consisting of 24 numbers), but when I went into my Adobe account and entered the license key, Adobe is telling me that my license key is not valid.  (I've entered the key several times; I'm entering it correctly, but Adobe is not recognizing it.)   How can I proceed with transferring the software to my new computer?  Is there someone I can speak to at Adobe?  Thank you for your time.

  • I have my Acrobat License Key but don't know which version of Adobe it corresponds to.

    Is there a way to determine what version of Adboe Acrobat Pro goes with my License Key? I have attempted to contact Adobe support directly but have had no luck even getting ahold of a real person, VERY very disappointed in their support thus far. hope you guys can help me out.
    Thanks!!

    In case your acrobat is still installed on your computer, then you can check windows registry.
    Acrobat versions 9 and earlier store the serial in  key named "serial". As the unencrypted serial too this is a 24-digit key, usually starting with 9.....
    It is basically possible to decode this serial back to those type of serial which can be entered in a program installation - unfortunately the support staff may not tell you the result. In other words... bad luck
    But as i know there are some serial recovery tools which can do this job for you too.
    If the result is a 24 digit number, starting with 1016 or 1118, then you can be sure it's a serial that fits the algorithm used for serial numbers.
    What is not safe at this moment, if this is a legal copy. And exactly at this point you need to contact the support chat again to let them check this for you.
    Once you got the complete serial, you will find the downloads under these links:
    Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X
    even more accurate links you will find here

  • License Keys for Adobe Air Apps

    Many software applications require the end user to input a valid license key before proceeding with the installation. I have yet to come across an Adobe AIR application that employs this mechanism.
    The question is how can i integrate such a mechanism into an adobe air app?

    Two options:
    a) Build a licensing verification scheme yourself
    b) Use a 3rd party tool, such as NitroLM or Sharify or Shibuya

    Has you contacted the seller through its Customer Service?
    If that is the case and Customer Service has no idea of what you were given as a Product Key and how to use it, have you considered asking
    your question in the seller's forum (PC software section)?
    But, I have another idea for you to try first....are you involved in a student teacher purchase with prepaid card? If so, please click on the following link
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number-student-teacher.html#card-sub mit-product-code
    and go to the section on "I received a prepaid card, and I need help". In that section go to "2" which is for
    "Submitting my product code and proof of eligibility to Adobe". You will notice there is a link to click on that
    is related to country. Make the appropriate choice and see if that solves the problem. You should see
    Visit the page listed on the back of your prepaid card to submit your code and proof.
    For customers inside North America, www.adobe.com/go/edu-validate
    For customers outside North America, submit through your region's customer portal below:
    Europe, Middle East, Africa | Germany | France | Spain | Italy | Netherlands | Czech Republic | Poland | Asia/Pacific | Korea
    Verification can take anywhere from 2 to 30 days to validate.
    If the above does not apply to you, then I would explore the seller forum for answers if you cannot get them from Adobe Chat or the seller's
    Customer Service. Getting your money back from the seller should be tried as soon as possible if you find no solution.
    Thank you.
