Serial # not valid!??!?!?!?!?!

I had downloaded the trial of DW CS3 and tried it, decided to
buy it, and ordered the Web Design Premium suite. I copied and
pasted the serial number into DW's screen that asks for the serial
number and I get a message stating that the serial # is not valid!
What's up with that?

return the $199 upgrade product and bite the bullet and purchase
the $399 Dreamweaver CS3 standalone product.
If you had Dreamweaver MX as part of a suite, why didn't you
upgrade to Web Standard for $399? The you would have gotten Adobe
Dreamweaver® CS3, Flash® CS3 Professional,
Fireworks® CS3, Contribute® CS3, Bridge CS3, Version
Cue® CS3, and Device Central CS3 all for the same price as
purchasing Dreamweaver CS3 standalone.
Here are the details about the available upgrades to Web
Standard:

I upgraded to Web Premium for $499 to get Photoshop
Illustrator. I figure an additional $100 to get Photoshop and
Illustrator was totally worth it!

  • Fianl Cut Express HD 3.5 pre-installed serial # not valid

    I just bought a new 24" iMac and had apple pre-install Fianl cut express 3.5 and when I try to open it, it asks for the serial number which I have input but it does not recognize the number! I have tried every combination of alphas and 0's instead of the letter O. The serial number printing is small and even with a magnifying glass it is hard to distinquish if one or two letters are 0's or a Q 0 for what may be a Q but keep getting an error saying the serial number is not valid.
    Have tried to contact apple but have not been able to talk with a person yet.
    This is the second day of trying. Yesterday they were transfering me to the pro support? group but we were disconnected before the transfer went thru! Have called three times today but have been hold each time. Still waiting!

    finally got thru to Apple and this problem is resolved.

  • Aperture v3.1 Serial not Valid

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to re-install Aperture 3.1 onto a new machine and running into an 'invalid serial' error.
    My pathway to Aperture 3.1 has been:
    I had a licensed version of Aperture 2 > bought an upgrade license for Aperture 3.0
    Now, when I'm trying to use my upgrade serial number on a fresh install of Aperture 3.1 it's telling me that the number isn't valid!
    I tried calling Apple US support but I'm based in the UK, and I'm guessing my accent isn't working on their voice recognition system. Can anyone help? I've tried trash the ProApps folder, and the prefs file and nothing seems to work. And I'm not even sure how to contact Apple directly on this one, as they don't take email queries(!).
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    Thanks for the suggestions. Have only just returned to my laptop and tried them. Unfortunately I can't roll back using Time Machine due to my newly-upgraded OS.

    Thanks again...
    Okay,
    Here are a couple more links:
    1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3231
    2 - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3519
    You said in the opening comment that you trashed the ProApps folder, so link #1 may be a dead end.
    Note - trashing the whole folder also removes 'Internal Plug-Ins' folder which houses the browser kit files for iLife and FileSystem. I know the 'iLife.bkplugin' folder is created by the iLife update offered by Software Update. I also know that the 'FileSystem.bkplugin' folder is created by the Aperture installer. I am not sure what impact this may have on an upgrade attempt.
    Link #2 has to do with a file named 'com.apple.aelwriter.plist' in the '/Library/LaunchDaemons' folder (which is installed by the Aperture installer). Other than launching at startup, I am not sure what this file does, but I would guess it is a licensing function of some sort.
    Other than those ideas, I am not sure what path to offer other than to perform a clean install of OS, which is probably not needed if the correct files can be identified for either removal or perhaps replacement if they can be copied over from the Time Machine backup.
    Hopefully others will offer some solutions.

  • Serial # not valid. No support from Adobe

    Hi all,
    I recently buyed one more CS4 Web Premium Licence,
    when I enter the serial to activate it (serial number is the same of the other licence I own),
    it says it is invalid.
    I'm sorry for asking here for a solution, but Italian Adobe support is simply not existant,
    and after about 3 weeks the only answers I received where "there is none who can help you on multi-licence products".
    Thank you in advance if I can have any tip.

  • I am trying  to install CS3 on Windows 8 and keep getting a message saying "the serial number I entered is not valid please enter it again" Does anyone know how to install successfully on Windows 8?

    CS3 is unsupported under Windows 8. That said, you'll need to contact Adobe
    directly for serial number issues.

  • How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid

    How do I go about getting the product serial number to register my product as well as install my product.  I bought it with a product box.  On the software disc sleeve, there is a series of numbers pasted at the bottom of the sleeves but this is not valid.  When I tried to type this in for registration, it does register as this numbers also contain letters in it.  Apparently the registration boxes accept numbers only.  What do I do with a useless product for which I have paid good money for it?????

    This is the simple solution which was offered to me when I tried to get the serial code on line.
    The box and disc sleeve do not contain a series with 24 numbers which I presume is the product code to install.
    I tried to redeem the registration code by following what they recommended, but inevitably it gets to the page that showed the registration boxes that need 24 serial numbers and I got stuck again.
    This product is so different what my previous experiences of other software products where I just enter the serial number straight from the disc sleeve and then I got registered and go on to use the software.
    I is really frustrating, spending the last two hours trying to get my product going....

  • Problem with serial number! It is not valid!

    Hello,
    i'm Italian and recently I downloaded the trial version of Flash Professional... when the 30 days ended I was asked to fill in a serial number! And that's the problem: my teacher gave me several serial numbers but they are not valid!
    Please, speak Italian if you can! If not no problem! I'm fluent in English too!

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your PAID Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid"

    I recently had my macbook pro logic board fail and had to purchase a new macbook pro (expensive reinvestment after only 3 years but that's another story).
    Anyway, all of my cs4 upsell products loaded just fine, except adobe acrobat pro 9 keeps telling me "the serial number I entered is not valid." After contacting adobe thru chat several times, here is the info I got back: my serial number IS valid, I still can activate 3 more times (deactivation was not an issue in this case), the final answer was  the cs1 server (my previous version before cs4) is no longer available which basically renders my version of acrobat unusable. Is that really the case? Now that I have a new computer I can't use that software any longer it was working fine on my old laptop? Why did all the other software load okay? Did I miss something or is buying another upgrade neccessary?
    ps: using Macbook Pro with MacOS X.8.5

    Indesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver are all working just fine. I haven't needed any other apps yet since the reinstall. Install actually worked fine too for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0 but when I try to open anything in it I get the Software Setup Screen and it wants me to enter the serial number for the product, when I do it says the serial number is invalid. I included a screen shot below with the serial number removed so you can see. In chatting with adobe, my rep said it is a valid number (obviously since it worked fine on my other apps), but the server for CS1 is no longer available and since I have an upsell from CS1 they cannot offer me support and to take my question to the forum board, so here I am.

  • I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard because my new computer doesn not have cd media.  When I put my serial number in, it says it is not valid.

    My new computer does not have CD media so I need to download Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard online.  I am able to download but when it prompts me for the serial number, it says my number is not valid.  I have double and triple checked, the serial number has been entered EXACTLY as it says on the box.  What could be causing this?

    Adobe acrobat 9 standard you will need to use a computer which does contain an optical drive and copy the contents to a USB drive.  You can then install from the USB drive on your computer which does not include an optical drive.  Unfortunately if you did not choose download at the time of purchase then I am not aware of any download locations for the installation files.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 stopped working - says serial numbers are not valid.

    I have had Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for several years and use it daily.  All of a sudden today, it would not open and showed me the screen to try the 30 free trial or to enter my serial number.  I entered my serial number and it gives me a red X and then tells me that my serial number is not valid.  I contacted customer support and he asked for my serial number and then told me he can't help with this issue and I need to look in these forums for a solution.  Anyone have any ideas??  I'm wondering if I uninstall it and re-install it, if it will accept the serial number then, but I'm thinking I'll lose all the preferences I have set up and have to go through and tag all my pictures again - and I have thousands.  Please help!!  It would be nice if the company could help.  :-(

    Most irresponsible, ignorant and unprofessional of that nincompoop who sent you to the forums for a customer service issue.
    Unfortunately, only Adobe customer service can assist you with your issue. These are user forums; you are not addressing Adobe here.  There's no one here who can help you.

  • Serial Number Not Valid

    After installing new hard drive, I tried to reinstall acrobat standard version7.  During activation I was redirected due to technology issues, whateve that means. I downloaded from web site and could not activate because serial number (from cd case) was not valid.  In my adobe, I re-activated sometime ago with a different serial number and that didin't work either.  Tried chat support but they kept directing me to a page to purchase an upgrade.  V.7 worked fine, I just need to activate it.  Do I really have to purchase an upgrade???

    if you have windows os, you can download and use the acrobat 7 standard here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    use the serial number posted on the page where you download acrobat.

  • Installing pse 7 serial number not valid

    I was having issues with a pse 7. I uninstalled then downloaded a fresh copy from Adobe. I entered my serial number and it returned 'not a valid serial number'. But it is valid.

    Thanks pwillener. I did that before. It took me to my account and there I found the serial number that exactly matches the one I found on my computer but again, PSE 7 says it is not valid. I even turned my firewall off during installation in case that was the problem.
