Re: Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number Problems

Hi
I am having the same problem however mine is a student edition and it was working fine but now isn't.  I have contacted Adobe and they have told me that they cannot troubleshoot CS4 as the version is too old - then I sat with an advisor for an hour that accessed my computer and he just disconnected me as he couldn't solve the problem.  The college have told me to contact Adobe, Adobe told me to contact the college. 
I am tearing my hair out, I have paid for a web design course that I can not use because of a serial number.  Can anyone help its driving me crazy.
I have tried all the troubleshooting on the website.
Many thanks,

What problem exactly are you having with the serial number?
The original poster of the thread you posted this message in originally stated that the software was working fine for some time, and then suddenly asked him to enter a serial number.
Is this also what you are facing?
If not, please describe your situation.
Feel free to PM me your serial number and I can check it out for you.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number Problems

    Hi guys, I bought a new copy of Dreamweaver CS4 a couple of years ago, installed it, and its run fine. I don't build websites for a living, have just built one for myself and a couple of groups I'm involved with.
    Just a few weeks back, I went to use the program and it told me to enter my Serial Number. I thought this was a bit wierd as I'd been using the program for a couple of years, and entered the Serial Number provided on the packaging when first installed. When I entered the Serial Number a red X appeared next to the number and the message "The serial number you entered is not valid"
    Why would this have happened? Has the program been corrupted? I've been using the program without any problems until this started, now I can't seem to get into it. How can I fix this problem?
    Many thanks.

    Hi everyone, thanks so much for your replies, I really appreciate it. Sorry for my slow response, I have to travel a bit for my work so have been away lately. Jim, I have checked the serial number a few times to make sure I didn't mess it up. But am still having issues.
    Carey, the problem I'm having isn't with trying to install it on a new pc. The problem is with my two current pc's. I first loaded the product to my main pc approx 2 years ago, and its been working fine. I installed it to my laptop more recently when my main pc went in for some repairs. Its been working fine on the laptop too. However, in December last year, my main pc was struck with a virus. I don't know if this was at all related to the issues I'm now having with my serial number,  but the next time I went to use Dreamweaver, it started giving me a countdown for when I'd need to install my serial number. When that countdown reached 30 days it locked me out. When I entered my serial number, the red X appeared next to it and said "The serial number you entered is not valid".
    The program worked fine on my laptop, until I went to use it a couple of weeks ago, and now when I open it an error message pops up which reads:
    "Licencing for this product has stopped"
    "This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched"
    Then it goes on to tell me that if the problem continues I should contact Adobe, and it gives the error message: "Error: 148:3"
    When I restart my computer, I get the same error message.
    I have been really happy with the product. I don't want to install it on a new pc, I just want to sort out the serial number issues that have started and to get it working again on my existing pc and laptop.
    Thanks again everyone for your help.

  • How Do I Find My Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number?

    How do i find dreamweaver cs4 serial number?

    If it's registered, you would just log into your Adobe account and it will be listed there under Applications and Subscriptions.
    Otherwise, it's either on your installation disk, or in the original email (which you printed and saved for future use, right?) that you got when you purchased the download from your online retailer of choice.
    If none of the above, you're probably stuck, Adobe no longer supports CS4.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use

    In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site  and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
    Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
    [personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
    [This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
    Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
    Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
    Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
    How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
    Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number Activation

    I used to have Dreamweaver CS4 on my computer. I recently changed laptop so I desactivated the serial number and desinstalled the software. I am now trying to reinstall it on my new laptop but the serial number is not recognized. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Was your previous version a Student/Teacher or Volume Licensed Edition from a reseller?

    Have you logged in to your Adobe account to confirm you have the correct serial number?

    Unfortunately, most of us are product users like yourself. So a bad serial number is beyond our scope of authority.  That's something only Adobe can help you with.

  • Cs4 serial number problems

    I  bought cs4 and installed it only on my mac.  No I have a pc and attempted to register my second device but my serial number is invalid.  any ideas how to get me up and running?

    Kenneth Lindsay your Creative Suite 4 license is for a single platform.  If the serial number was for Mac OS then you can continue to use the software on Mac OS.  You can find more details regarding the serial number at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

  • Photoshop CS4 serial number flagged as invalid on reinstallation.

    Photoshop CS4 Serial number flagged as invalid when I know it's OK. I have been transferring my software to Windows7 from XP by running two operating systems on separate volumes so I can keep working while dealing with compatibility problems. I have my original CD with serial number that I have been using for years. I have wasted a lot of time on this but I am now at the stage where I have deactivated and uninstalled PS from XP, reinstalled from download from Adobe on Win7. When I install I'm asked for the serial number which is accepted OK. When I try to run PS I'm again asked for s/n but this time it's flagged as Invalid. I have had to resort to running as 30 day trial while I trying to find a solution. I'm now desperate, Help Please!

    Thanks for that. Yes, I had seen that before and tried it. It made no difference unfortunately.
    BUT the good news is, I have tried again this new day and NOW it goes through. Go figure!
    Thanks to everyone in this Discussion for your suggestions.
    Problem somehow resolved itself?!

  • Cannot activate CS4 serial number

    Is anyone else having problems with activating CS4 serial number. I bought a student version of CS4 recieved my serial number after verifying student status, upon entering the serial number it was rejected, I tried unistalling the application and reinstalling, same result. I went onto the Adobe website to contact them, it is so hard to do that. I tried the 1800 Australia number only to be told by a recorded message that the office hours closed at 5pm it was 430 pm when I called (I made allowances for daylight saving time). I need help as I want to use CS4 but can't. I have checked that I have entered the numbers correctly and included the dashes where appropriate.

    Thanks Bob, but I'm nearing the end of the 30 days and I bought this for my son for Christmas so I'm getting a bit antsy to have this problem resolved. I also think it is crazy that I phoned the support line half an hour prior to closing time and received a recorded message (I allowed for day light saving time) stating that they were closed. Margie

  • Pls help me with  Mac and had a trial  serial number problems

    Hi,
    I downloaded first the trial version of Photoshop, after 30 days finished but the icon still remained.
    Now, when purchased a creative suite 4 Designe premium, installed, all programs are fine, just the photoshop not working, asking for serial number but when I type the right numbers, doesn`t accept.
    What can I do? any idea?
    to uninstall the photoshop and install again?
    but if I have the other programs working and installed?

    Hi,thank you, that is fine, just not so quick but I resolved the problem alone.Thanks anyway you helped me.Eva

    Hello, Eva. For CS4 problems, you need to ask in the Photoshop forum (this is the Photoshop Elements forum). It's here:

    I was directed to adobe to download CS4 on my new iMAC after hardware failure on PC.  The valid CS4 serial number for the PC is now not recognized by Adobe, even though I downloaded all the software successfully on the new iMac..  They gave me a free 30 day trial on the new iMAC.........Does this mean I have to spend a lot of money to update and activate the latest CS release on the new machine ??????

    Purple Lobster your Creative Suite 4 serial number is for Windows or Mac only.  If you were previously using it on Windows then it is likely you have a Windows license.  You can verify by checking your serial number at http://www.adobe.com/.  You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    If you wish to run Adobe Creative software on your new iMac then I would recommend a Creative Cloud complete or single application membership.  You can find more details at https://creative.adobe.com/plans.  There is also a 30 day trial available for the Creative Cloud if you wish to evaluate the newest versions of the Adobe Creative applications.

  • Aperture 2 install - serial number problem

    Disclaimer: I'm pretty good on a pc. Absolutely terrible on Mac, never had so many problems with tech :/
    So...I have my serial number from the back of the Aperture 2 "Installing your software" booklet. Checked that I'm entering "I's" not "1's." Got dashed between the sequences. Capslock on etc. Searched forum, quite a few posts on serial number problems. None matched.
    Enter serial number. Second window pops up stating I've entered an upgrade serial number (I only have the expired trial version of Aperture installed), and requesting my "serial number."
    I'm lost now. Checked my original docs, there's nothing on Aperture trial version. Fired up the trial and I see what looks like a license key (to Apple, not me) on the launch screen. That's not accepted by Aperture 2.
    Any thoughts on this appreciated.

    Thanks, think you solved this Wish the label said something like that, the box only says Aperture 2, not upgrade license. So I'm guessing I have to pay $199, and keep this $99 package to upgrade it? I hope not. I'll ask at the store.
    There is a tiny label on the bottom edge of the box. Mine says "Aperture 2.0 Retail". The tiny label on my box for Final Cut Express 4 says "Final Cut Express 4.0 UPG". Does yours not say "UPG" on that little label? If not, you should be able to return it for the full version (plus pay the difference, of course). If it does say "UPG" you might be out of luck as most open software can't be returned.
