Recovering serial number

We have 4 Flash CS4 licenses here at work, and we're retiring one old computer, and have purchased a replacement.  Trouble is, we have misplaced the Flash CS4 packaging from the old computer, so we don't have access to the serial number.  How can we recover the serial number from the installed version on the old computer?
(I contacted Adobe support, who insultingly told me that I should ask Microsoft if it's possible to search through the Windows Registry for the serial number.  I now hate Adobe "support".)

The version I have is completely legal
No it is NOT. The retail end-user license agreement for Adobe products applies only to the person who purchases the software.The legal owner of a license cannot install copies for other people, even if they don't use the software themselves. Except for volume and emterprise licensing systems, all Adobe software is registered to an individual human, not to a computer or a company.
The original purchaser can register a transfer of license in specific cases, but they would have to supply you with all the serial numbers and media as part of that transfer - clearly in this case a transfer has not been performed, so your copy is illegal. Sorry, but it is.

  • Lost ipod and need to recover serial number

    I just recently had my ipod stolen and need to figure a way i can get the serial number back. I've already had a new ipod synced and connected with my computer so i need a database or a way to contact someone so i can get my serial number in the police report. Thanks.

    It would be on the box that the iPod came in. Did you toss that box out?
    There is a way to check the last iPod synced, but since you synced another iPod, I think you are out of luck there.

  • Recovering serial number for Web Premium CS4 on OSX Lion

    First of all hello everyone!
    After upgrading my MacBook to the newest OSX Lion I wanted to install one more time my Web Premium Suite CS4. Unfortunatelly my serial number registered on my Adobe account doesn't work anymore, I don't know why. From FAQ section I got information about Adobe Licensing Repair Tool for CS4 but it doesn't work under Lion. How I can make my CS4 working again?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    You have to contact Adobe support, they will check that why your serial number is not working.....
    Licensing is a completely different thing , if your serial numebr is not working then you will not be able to install the software ....licensing process happens once the software is installed on your system hence get your serial number checked first and then install the software.
    If serial number is not valid then you will get the red cross at the time of installation.

  • Cannot recover serial number for stolen MacBook

    My wife just had her MacBook stolen. She registered her MacBook when she bought it, but we cannot find the serial number under her accounts. We have checked both under her Apple ID and iCloud ID and the computer is not showing up. This is an older model, 2010, so am not having much luck with finding the receipts or box.
    Any ideas on how we might find the serial number?

    Unfortunately I did not register the laptop, nor did I save the box it came in.  I found my receipt - it shows the model number only, no serial number.  So my only recourse is to the store where I bought it (Best Buy).  I have sent them all the info from my receipt ... we'll see if they can find it for me.
    Thanks for all your help.

  • Recover serial number from itunes

    My son's ipod was stolen. He didn't register with icloud, so I do not have the serial number. Can it be retrieved from itunes with his account info?

    Open itunes>Edit>Preferences>devices>White Box Backup>hover mouse over backup to see serial number. No backup present = no serial number. Check other sites supportprofile.apple.com www.icloud.com . Apple support can email it to the email on file. They will not read it to you and will not email to one not already registered to the device.

  • Recover serial number for CS6?

    I have CS6: Design and Web Premium Education Edition. I have the original box, activation code, and what I thought was the correct serial number (apparently it is not after trying to install it from the disc). I still have it installed on my MacBook Pro, but would like to add it to my new iMac. How do I find the correct serial number?

  • How do I recover serial number for tech comm 4?

    Our department just lost two people; both with legal, active licenses for Tech Comm 4. IT is going to purge the systems for new users and I need to recover the software licenses before the systems are purged so that the software can be installed and activated for new users.
    I understand that the software needs to be deactivated to facilitate the transfer. The issue is in finding the license info. I don't know if the software was ever registered, or how it would be registered with, or even who the software was purchased from. I work for a very large multinational with a centralized IT department who originally pushed the installs out to these two user's computers and they have been less than responsive in getting the license info to us; waiting around for them to reply is not an option since we need to install the software ASAP for new users.
    Can anyone tell me how to recover these licenses?

    Try the Adobe Licensing System first to see if you can see them there – if not, give Adobe Support a call to get you connected to someone in licensing.

  • I want to setup Lightroom on my new laptop.  I have my latest serial number but it is the upgrade serial number for LR5.  I do not have the original serial number from my purchase of LR3.  How can I recover the serial number from my original purchase of ?

    I want to setup LR on my new laptop.  I have the serial number from my latest purchase but not the original purchase of LR3.  How can I recover the serial number from my original LR purchase?

    If you did register it back then, open your Adobe account with your Adobe ID and you will find it there: Find your serial number quickly
    If you still have it installed, open the System info in Help menu or look here:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom xy Registration.lrreg

    I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

    If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5.  If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version.  Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

    If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
    I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

  • We had our MAC book Pro stolen and we registered it with Apple. Is there any way to recover the serial number for police reports if the receipt does not have the serial number on it? Thx

    We had our Mac Book Pro stolen and have not been able to recover the serial number from our Best Buy receipt. We did register it with Apple during the set-up and downloaded music on it thru ITunes.  Any chance we can recover the serial number from somewhere?  Any details would be helpful.  Thank you!

    You can try going here, using the same AppleID you used on the machine:

  • How to recover the serial number?

    Here the situation.
    Since March 6, I had trouble with sending and receiving messages and access to facebook on the iphone using t-mobile services. It has 2 bars and lte.. I later learned that T-Mobile is having some outrages... Then couple of days later (Sunday) There was a total data outrage, I cannot access any form of communication that lead to frustration. I shoved my iphone in the pocket and then not touched it since... so later that day my boyfriend found my iphone in the wash.. of course I blew a fuse. So I let it dry in a bowl of rice. Two days later it works again. Discovered that WIFI cannot turned out which is grayed out.  I couldn't connect to it. Then there is a release of an update of 7.1. So I have my iphone hooked up to my PC.... failed... error code 4005. I tried my Mac and it shows something else.. It looks like this
    Serial number; n/a
    No serial number. How strange. Today I bought a new cord in hope to update the ios.. however it failed. So I restarted it.. no good,... new cord.. no good..... so what else can I do? How can I recover the Serial number? It is currently stuck on "connect to itunes" and apple logo

    Serial number is printed on the label of the iPhone box the iPhone came in. iTunes stores the serial numbers of iPhones which have connected to it in the past. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store, they can get the Serial number for you.

  • Recovering original serial number for Lightroom 2.4

    I'm am trying to recover from a harddrive failure and am reloading some of my software.  I've been using Lightroom 3.6 which I got as an upgrade and I have the serial number for that upgrade. I saved the installation program on a separate drive.  I've installed 3.6 on my new drive without difficulty; its the activation process that is giving me a problem.  When I enter the serial number for my 3.6 is says that its an upgrade serial number and then asks for the original serial number.  I started with Lightroom 2.4 and purchased upgrades to 3.6.  How can I reacquire the original serial number?  Who do I contact; where do I go?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you registered your LR 2.x online at Adobe then you can look up your serial number, there. 
    Go to:  http://www.adobe.com then choose Help / My Account and check “My Products”  At some point it’ll make you login with your Adobe ID.
