S30 Machine type and Serial Number are INVALID

Hello, I am wondering if I can get some help here.A while back I had a motherboard replaced by lenovo service. The machine arrived turned on once and then it died.Once the tech left the machine was used a handful of times and then stored. I a now working on it and I noticed this screen, which appreared after the mobo replacements. Iam wondering if anyone knows how to fix this issue. What is Error 00CE really saying? Thanks

It's really saying what shows on the screen there....the serial number and machine type are invalid. My guess is the tech that replaced your board did not update the MTM/SN fields when he flashed BIOS on the new board (if he flashed BIOS at all), and those fields are still listing the defaults that are populated by the board manufacturer.
Run the latest DOS BIOS flash package (I think current BIOS is 45 maybe for the A0 branch), and when prompted, enter the correct information from your system for the machine type and serial number. That should alleviate the POST error you're seeing.

I am not sure what information you are passing in given FM.
But in my case I have used FM 'CRM_CREATE_IBASE_FROM_EQUI' to create Ibase and component. It creates IBase and Component along with other details like material number and serial number.
you may refer the below code for the same >
Call the standard handling for crm equi load.
call function 'CRM_CREATE_IBASE_FROM_EQUI'
    exporting
      is_header         = is_header
      it_equi_dmbdoc    = it_equi_dmbdoc
    changing
      et_error_segments = ct_error_segment
    exceptions
      technical_error   = 1
      others            = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.

Itunes card will not redeem, and serial number is invalid

Hi,
so i recently brought a $20 itunes card.
when i went to redeem it, itunes says that it is not a valid code.. it then asks for the serial number which i entered, however it says that is not a valid code either?
please help.. this is really annoying
thanks

Could be a counter feit card, but most likely you are reading/entering it wrong. Anyhow, the iTS can sort it out, though you may have to scan in the back of the card and send it in:

Part number and serial number appear to be weird after memory installation

serial number: 0x0000000
however, the RAM just work fine. Do I have to contact the vendor. this is my first time so I just want to check it out is there any problems.
Thank

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

My hard drive went out one of my Macs and I am trying to install logic studio on another Mac but the serial number is invalid. What are my options?

Check that the serial you are using is the correct one..
Typically the problem is either you are misreading the serial and therefore typing it in wrong. Check you are correctly entering zeros or O.. and so on....
or...
You bought the LP9 upgrade version.... which requires the LP8 full serial as well.
If it is the LP9 upgrade serial.. (and not the LP9 full serial) you must enter your original LP8 full serial first and then the upgrade serial for LP9.. when it asks for it.
Failing that.. you can obtain a replacement serial from Apple.. using this form.....

Help! When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number is invalid

When I try to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Prem i get message that my serial number (Design and Web Prem <serial number removed>) is not valid? Why???? I have it installed now on just one computer only. It was installed also on a computer and a laptop. The laptop crashed and couldn't restart anymore. I had to through it away. After that I installed on another computer at a place where I work sometimes with photoshop. Then suddenly I got message at my computer home that the serialnumber is invalid. I installed for the time an try out version, and now I have deleted the version that I had on the computer but when i want to reinstall my legal bought version with the serial number that i mention there, I get again the message that my serial number is invalid. But now it is only installed on 1 other computer. If I check the sites, I have to contact Adobe but I don't know how. The link does not work and I cannot find any phonenumber.!!

If you had it on a laptop that crashed and you threw away, it is still considered as activated on that machine. YOu should contact Adobe by chat or by phone and have them deactivate for you.
Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

If you are getting a message that indicates the serial number is not valid, you should look thru the following:

Old school with CS2. Haven't used in a while and am unable to use the program as it says my serial number is invalid. Customer service tells me the server for CS2 has been shut down. Then they sent me here for help. Does anyone have any advice?

I don't have a clue what I am doing with this. Here is my discussion with Customer Service:

Naresh: Were you able to view the download link, Mary?
Mary Vance: what file in that download is supposed to help me?
Mary Vance: the first and 3rd link were the same
Mary Vance: when trying to load from my software, I get the message saying my serial number is not valid. All I need is a serial number that works. Is that going to be possible?
Naresh: Mary, Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 applications, including Acrobat 7 and Audition 3, because of a technical issue.
Naresh: So you will have to download the software from the above link.
Naresh: May I know in what OS you are trying to install the software?
Mary Vance: the link sends me to a CS2 help package
Mary Vance: windows 7
Naresh: I am sorry you will not be able to install the CS2 application on Windows 7 since it does not support CS2 version.
Mary Vance: I have had on here for a few years...why all of a sudden would it not work? Illustrator is fine.
Naresh: Okay.
Naresh: You can try downloading the software.
Mary Vance: was the original link that you sent me suppose to allow me to download Photoshop?
Mary Vance: I did try and got the message that the serial number is invalid. Is there any way to get around this or should I throw it away?
Naresh: May I know whether you uninstalled the product.
Naresh: ?
Mary Vance: I did uninstall Photoshop only. Then I tried reinstalling Photoshop only and got the message about the serial number.
Naresh: I check and see that it seems to be a technical issue, I request you to please post your query to the forums so that you will get the resolution from our expertise and I'll provide you the link to visit the forums.
Naresh: Please click here to visit the forums.

Mary Vance: I don't see where you helped me with this yet, so I guess not!
Naresh: I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Naresh: Thank you for contacting Adobe. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. Goodbye!
Any help would be appreciated.

CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Installed my Photoshop Elements 7 on my new laptop. Says my serial number is invalid. Chatted with customer service rep and she says the number should work. What now?

Hi,
Did the serial number come from a boxed set and previously installed from disc and are you now trying to install from a download?
If so, that will not work - the serial numbers are different.
If you don't have a dvd drive on your new system, perhaps you could get someone to copy your disc to a memory stick and install from that.

I am reinstalling Lightroom 5 and serial number entered is invalid

My system was rebuilt and getting back to the install disk for Lightroom 5.0 where I enter my serial number associated with the install disk and the system will not continue indicating the serial number is invalid. I have entered it several times to make sure it was entered properly to no avail.
