Registered serial number not working

Hi there
I bought CS4 a few years ago. I installed the entire suit on to one of my macs and a few of the programmes on to another of my macs. I installed the rest of the suite on to the second mac this morning and the installation seemed to go fine. When i tried to open indesign just now it asked me for me serial number. When I entered it I got a big red cross and it would not open. I called adobe, they cheked the number and it is fine and registered to me. Can anyone help me? I bought this programme and really need to use it. Thanks so much. Cherry

You need to wipe the existing activation info and fully re-activate the suite.

  • Why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

    The license is for two copies of Photoshop by one user on two different computers that can not be used at the same time.Contact Adobe customer service by phone.  Only they can help you.
    They will deactivate both copies of Photoshop.

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.

  • Lightroom5 Serial Number not working - GRRRR!

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a copy of Lightroom 5, but the serial number I received in the confirmation email to upgrade my copy of the software from a trial package to the real deal does not work. Any tips on how to get a new serial number or make this original one work??
    Thanks in advance!

  • Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

    I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
    I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
    I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
    Thank you,

    Hi Maryanne,
    This is now resolved. The bundle has been added to your account and you should have received an e-mail notification confirming this.

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

  • Installing adobe photoshop 11 serial number not working

  • Photoshop CS5 serial number not working?

    I bought and downloaded Photoshop CS5 from this site about two years ago, and since then have purchased a new computer. I want install CS5 on this new computer, but my account isn't listing CS5 under my lists of products. When I try and register the serial number I found under my program's System Info, I get an error message that says my serial number isn't valid.
    A little while ago, adobe had an information leak and my account was one of the ones listed as possibly compromised- could this be the issue?
    If not, why won't it let me register CS5 to my account? I really want it on my new computer. I purchased the product legitimately and I don't want my money disappearing after only two years.

    Explain your situation to Customer Support, and see if you can submit some sort of proof. For example a credit card statement. Your bank can help you with that. See if your ISP can fish up the email.
    Also if you purchased it as an Educational discount, you might get in touch with that section.
    We are users and perhaps a Staff member may drop by, but for now that's the best advice.

  • Design Standard CS 5.5 serial number not working for Photoshop

    I am trying to install the Design Standard CS 5.5 but am having trouble with Photoshop.  All of the programs installed and open correctly except for Photoshop.  When I try to launch it, the Adobe Application Manager comes up saying that the serial number is "not valid for this product."  The serial seemed to work during the install and both InDesign and Illustrator launch without any problems.  I have also tryed uninstalling and then reinstalling Photoshop, but I still have the same problem.  I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Are you definitely installing Design Premium CS5, not a similar sounding Creative Suite? And not CS5.5?

  • Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 extended trial for Partners - Serial Number not working

    Greetings from Greece,
    We are new Adobe Certified Resellers. I was informed that via the Adobe Partner Connection portal I can install an NFR extended trial copy of Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 for demo and training purposes. So I downloaded this software (version 6.1 WIN) from the website above but the serial number provided on the same page is not working with the message "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists contact support".I am sure that I am typing the correct one (as I find it on the web page), tried several times, also tried copy-paste to be sure.
    Please advise. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Maria,
    I would request to email your concern and details at : [email protected] and they will be able to help you with this.

  • Serial number not working, not disk doesn't work (mac copy)

    I've just brought a new Mac Mini installed my Photoshop CS3 onto it. When I opened the application my serial number wouldn't work because I've used it too many times. My last computer crashed, so I can't take Photoshop off it. I followed a tutorial which had two options:
    1. reset the clock on your computer uninstall and re-install.
    2. delete the following folders in /Library/Application Support/Adobe: Adobe PCD, backup and caps. And re-install
    Now when I try to install Photoshop CS3 it doesn't even install! There is a cross instead of a tick next to everything. I've tried repair disk in Disk Utilities, and I was told that there was nothing wrong with the CD.
    Is there a way to fix this?

    Now you are not even able to install the software and gettingthe red cross as soon as enter your serial number.
    hence follow this step:-
    1)  Run the cleaner tool for CS3 , www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    2) delete the files ;- /Library/Application Support/Adobe: Adobe PCD, backup and caps
    3) Re-install the software ,
    let us know if the software gets installed ,

  • Serial number not working after 1.5 years.

    I purchased Adobe Suite through my college. It is now saying I have completed a trial... but I have a serial number that will not work. I have had the suite for over a year without problems until now.

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • Serial number not working.  Help!

    I am transferring my Photoshop CS5 from my old PC to my new PC.  I deactivated the old PC and I have the serial number.  I downloaded the two files I need from the 'CS5 download products' page.  I entered my serial number in the Adobe Installer screen and it worked and started to install Photoshop.  After it installed, I went to open Photoshop and it prompted me to enter my serial number again, so I did but this time it didn't work.  It said the serial number was invalid for the product.  Why did my serial number work to install it, but it won't work to open Photoshop?  What do I need to do?

    Then I would recommend either contacting our support team or try to register your software at http://www.adobe.com/.  If you are able to register your software then there is likely a software issue preventing the serial number from being accepted.  Before we proceed though we need to verify the serial number first.
    Please feel free to update this thread with the results of your attempt to register the serial number.
