Registering Serial Problem

I have Photoshop CS4 and have it activated on my studio PC and my home  laptop.
A few weeks ago I had message come up on my laptop saying I had a  certain amount of days left to use the software, now it wont let me on  the software. its saying i have the software installed on two  computers already so it wont let me activate it. I had a virus a few  months ago on my laptop and had my whole system wiped and had to  reinstall photoshop.
Do you think the software thinks I've registered it 3  times? Just to verify, I now have only got Photoshop on my studio PC  and need to activate it on my laptop but the serial number is saying it's  already at its max' of 2 systems.
Please help. I hope I haven't confused you.

You have answered your own question. When your laptop had a virus the Adobe software was not deactivated before the hard drive was nuked clean for a re-install of the OS. You will have to contact Adobe customer service and tell them what you just wrote so they can give you back the second activation.

    No. If they reformat, you can no longer track it.

  • Register serial number problem?

    i just got this new iPad air 128gb from Amazon, it came from their warehouse as like new, most liking meaning open box. Anyway when k try to go register the serial number to my Apple ID, it says it is already linked to another apple id. How do I go about fixing this? Thank you.

    Sounds like the person who had bought it and returned it to Amazon had registered it to the account - in which case you won't be able to register it to your account until that person has logged into their account (https://supportprofile.apple.com/) and removed it. You could try contacting Amazon and see if they know who had bought it before you so that they can ask them to remove it, or you could try contacting Apple and see if they can help (which they might not be able to do).

  • Registering Serial for 2nd hand Macbook Air

    Hi all,
    I tried registering my 2008 Macbook Air. It says that
    "According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID? ."
    I was given the Macbook Air (2008) model by my dad who has upgraded to a newer Macbook Air model.
    Can anyone please help me?
    Scuzz

    It might still be necessary to have some semblance of proof of purchase.
    I have an iPod (personalized and purchased from the Apple Store) that I tried to register but it woudn't let me, saying "this serial number is registered to another Apple ID." The nearest I can figure is that someone must have mistyped the serial number of another iPod when registering it.
    I never resolved that problem, but it never needed service so it's a moot issue. Still, it would be nice to have had it appear in My Support Profile.

  • Serial not detected, and cannot register serial.. .need a manual

    Hi! I am new to the IPod World... now, I have a big problem: if I want to fetch a manual from the IPod webpage, I am asked for a serial number. Everytime I enter the one on the back of my computer: 2CD5240X0R, it does say that this number is not a valid serial number. If I use the automatic detection, , it says no serial found.
    If I want to register this Ipod with apple, it says that this serial number is not valid ("Enter a valid serial number). [I even tried it with "-1" as suffix)..
    Now, I would need a manual for this Ipod, and since my serial number is not accepted and I do not know which modell it is, not even the generation - within the Ipod, when I ask for the about, it says Modell PS492AAABA - how can I proceed? It has a color display, 30 GB, can load pictures, and the serial is as suggested.
    Can someone tell me what to do? I do not know how to contact apple.. and I do not know how to manually find out what Ipod it is (5th gen? or some other)...
    Many thanks!

  • A serial problem

    I upgraded my fc6 to fcstudio (3) one year ago.
    Everyting worked just fine.
    Suddenly one week ago,the fc7 programm asked for the serial.
    I entered the nbr; but i had the message wrong serial.
    So i folowed the steps from apples troubleshooting basics and fc7, soundtrack and color worked again but not motion and compressor.
    How can i solve this problem.
    I have a legitime "studio3box" and the program is registered.

    I'd try going to /Library/Application Support/ProApps/ and move the Final Cut Studio System ID to your desktop, then go into Motion or FCP. Re-enter your serial and see if it takes it properly.
    If it does not, contact Apple for help.

  • 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.

  • Lost iPod registered serial number

    I lost my Ipod and it was not under my email but my sons. I put his email and apple I'd but it doesn't work. I registered his iPod with the serial number under my email and apple Id(after his email not working). What else can I do?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • B590 running Win 7 64bit USB to serial problems

    Hello All, Hit a bit of a brick wall with a weird problem I have regarding USB to serial converters in Windows 7 64bit Pro.I have a number of USB to serial converters in my office, but in particular I have a HL340 generic cable an easysync cable.A technician recently replaced their work laptop with a Lenovo B590 running Win 7 pro 64 bit. We use these USB to serial converters to communicate with embedded systems and security panels. I have tested both the above cables in a number of OSes, and they work perfectly on my -a) A netbook running Lubuntu 12.04,
    b) an older desktop running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
    c) and my main Win 7 Pro 32bit desktopWhen connecting either cable to the Lenovo, the driver installs, then refuses to work with the following error in device manager-"A service installation section in the INF is invalid"This is with the driver that installs automatically through Windows update, and it also occurs when I manually specify a driver (I hit the update driver button and select the folder for the downloaded driver). I've downloaded drivers for both converters from the manufacturers website and it returns the same error. Strangely enough, when you try and update the driver (either manually or automatically through Windows update) it says the best driver for the hardware is already installed.Uninstalling and reinstalling the driver leads to the same problem.My thoughts are that this is a problem with 64bit Windows, however a couple of our other technicians running Win 7 64 bit are able to use these same Easysync cables with no software problems (albeit often with hardware problems). The cable works fine in Windows XP mode on the Lenovo B590, but will not work natively. Any ideas? Because I am stumped.

    hi danplanet,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    Can you try disabling the Driver enforcement
    http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how-to-disable-driver-signature-enforcement-to-allow-installation-of-windows-7-printer-drivers-on-windows-8/
    this is to address the "A service installation section in the INF is invalid" issue
    After disabling the Driver Enforcement it should now ask your permission if you want to continue with the installation,
    Continue with the installation and check,
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers!

  • Registered numbers problem

    I register new tel no. in skype to go. Then I make international call - works well.
    Then I try another call, but cant connect to my acces number. Voice message "Połączenie nie może być zrealizowane". Happens every time. I did try many intervals (minutes and hours).
    So I remove this registered number, add it again and I can make 1 single call again. If I try one more time: the problem comes back.
    Same happens if I add new number and try calling after some time (2-3 day) - cant get through to acces number.
    Acces number: in Poland, Warsaw (22)
    My mobile: Orange
    Happens: always.
    Its realy frustrating. Any ideas?
    Adam

    Ted,
    You don't have to remove the older version from your computer, but you should make sure you know which one you are using, and use the newer one for most things. Quit Numbers. If you have a Numbers shortcut icon on your Dock, use it to start Numbers. Then choose Numbers > About Numbers and see which one you are using. If it's Numbers 08, the first version, quit it and drag the shortcut icon off your Dock.
    Now use Finder to browse your Applications folder for iWork 09. In that folder, find Numbers and launch from there. Check to make sure you have started Numbers 09. Then right-click the icon on the Dock and choose to keep that icon on the Dock.
    You should be good from there on.

  • Flex on Linux: Serial problems

    Hi there,
    I've changed from Windows to Linux lately and tried to work
    with Eclipse and Adobe's Flex Plugin.
    First of all it's great to have an opportunity to work with
    Flex on a Linux system, and as well I think it's a good idea,
    because there are many skilled developers working on Linux, that
    may be missed otherwise.
    Now after installing the product everything went smoothly and
    i was able to compile AS3 to SWF-files. But after using Flex some
    days I noticed the info in the bottom left corner that told me my
    serial would only be useable for some 100 days, so I tried
    registering Flex with my Windows serial.
    Unfortunately this did only reduce the amount of time left
    from 100 to ~3 days. These days are over now and I'd like to
    continue developing in Eclipse.
    Is there a way I can bring Flex to give me back those 100
    days? I think it's not Adobe's intention to scare off users, who
    bought (!) a copy of this software.
    Please help me,
    Thanks,
    vogelscheuche

    You got caught near the end of the trial. We updated it on
    Labs again today, will have a year to use it.
