Serial number after upgrade

Hi,
I purchased Final Cut Express HD 3.5 a long time ago. Later I upgraded to Final Cut Express 4. I installed it without problem and without entering my serial number. Now I got a new motherboard for my Mac (because of a defect of the graphical processor). And after this, when I start Final Cut Express 4, I get a "Licensing" window: "Enter user information below" (Name, organization and serial number). I enter the serial number for my Final Cut Express HD 3.5, but when I click "OK", it says "Alert: The serial number you entered is not valid".
How to fix this?
Have a nice day,
Michel

There should be a separate serial number than came with the v4 upgrade.

Logic keeps asking for serial number after upgrade to 9.1.3

I know this has been asked before, but I'm wondering if there is a solution other than erasing my hard drive etc. I had to do a re-install of my system 10.5.8 and I upgraded to 9.1.3 and now Logic keeps asking for serial number after every shut down (not if I only quit). any ideas?
Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I had already re-installed my OS because computer wouldn't boot up. I had downloaded Onyx and run it which I think was the start of my problems including the missing serial number - so it was looking for serial number even before my upgrade to 9.1.3. I could not find anything called a reg keyfile in either my user or startup disk /Library/Preferences/. When I put in my serial number, I can boot and quit as many times as I want until I shut down.
Here are the 3 console messages that appear when I try to boot up and they are the same that come up after shutting down or on a launch which does NOT ask for serial number:
1/4/11 11:31:35 AM Console[149] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader
1/4/11 11:31:52 AM Logic Pro[150] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

ARD asking for Serial Number after Upgrade to OSX 10.9 and ARD 3.7?

Hello All,
I bought ARD 3.6.1 back in 2012 from MAC Store. Yesterday, I decided to upgrade to OSX Mavericks and the upgrade forced ARD to update to 3.7 from 3.6.1 and now ARD is asking for serial number... Never had a Serial Number since I bought it from Mac Store. Anyone with same problem?
Many Thanks in Advance!
App Store Update says I have 3.7 already installed.

Not sure how that would happen but you should be able to revert to the Mac App Store version with the following steps:
1. Launch the App Store app
2. Go to the Purchases secton and verify that Apple Remote Desktop is showing in your list
3. Assuming it's in your list, delete Remote Desktop.app from /Applications
4. Verify that Remote Desktop.app is not installed on any other mounted volumes using Spotlight
5. If it is installed then either unmount those volumes or delete the app from those other locations
6. Go back to the Purchases section of the App Store app
7. If Apple Remote Desktop is shown as "Installed" then select "Reload Page" from the "Store" menu
8. The entry for Apple Remote Desktop should now give you the option to "Install"
9. Click "Install"
After installation you should have the correct Mac App Store version that does not prompt for a serial number.

Aperture request serial number after upgrading to Leopard.

I have just upgrade to Leopard. Everything goes right except for the fact Aperture no longer open. It is requesting for my serial number. Never had to do this before. I am working with Aperture for at least a year now and made all my updates without having to re-enter the serial number. This happens only a few week after I throw out the empty box of Aperture not being aware I was keeping it probably because of that serial number! What can I do now.

Welcome to the forum. As you've registered the software with Apple you might be able to ring them up and get your serial number.
Ian
P.S. NEVER throw away those little slips with the serial number on! Your computer could crash and the backup not work, Migration Assistant might fail to copy the serial number across to a newly-bought computer, you might want to sell the software etc. There are many circumstances that might require you to fill in the serial number again...

Access Original Serial Number after Upgrade

Hi guys, in a bind here...
My Mac Pro needs to be wiped and all my software will have to be installed.
My problem is that our editor has been let go and he stole our FCS 2 and FCS 3 upgrade disks and packaging.
I still have FCS 3 installed, so I can access one of the serial numbers in the "About Final Cut Pro" window, although I'm not sure if that would be the original serial or the upgrade.
Is there a way for me to find both serials inside of Final Cut? That way I can just borrow someone else's disks and then use my serials to reinstall?
Thanks...

Touche. But I'm afraid you took my comments personally.
Sure, we kept them under lock and key. However, we assumed that they were with all of our other software in our locked file cabinet when we let our editor go. Now, 2 months later, we've discovered that they aren't there. Mistakes happen, no need to rub it in.
I assumed there would be an easy solution...
For anyone who needs to know, Apple has sent a new serial number for us. However, they were going to charge me $100+ for replacement disks. I'll just use my friends' disks and my new serial number.
Lesson learned!

Cannot upgrade serial number after download. 'This serial number is not for a qualifying product'. Trying to upgrade from ACS 5.5 Design Premium to ACS 6 Design Standard

start the installation of design premium cs5.5 just to make sure you're using the correct serial number. once your serial number is accepted you'll see a screen giving you the option to install none, some or all of the cs5.5 programs. at that point you can quit and not install anything having verified your cs5.5 serial number if you want nothing cs5.5 on your computer.
on the other hand, if your cs5.5 serial number is not accepted, you'll pinpoint the problem.
or, if your cs5.5 number is accepted, you could install a cs5.5 program and then install cs6. it should recognize you have a cs5.5 program installed and NOT prompt you for you cs5.5 serial number allowing you to continue with your cs6 installation.

Cannot select serial number after patch upgrade to PL 27

Hi,
We have just upgraded to PL 27. As all the items are managed by serial number, we find that we are unable to select certain serial number when we are performing deliveries, return or invoicing. The funny thing is not all the serial number are affected. For example, out of 10 available serial number, 2 can be selected and the rest cannot.
Any idea what causes it?
Regards,
TWP

Hi,
We are also facing the same issue when we try to upgrade the patch level to PL27 for one of our client. After few days of testing we found out that it seem to be a major bug in PL27 where by you will not be able to select most of the serial number after you sort the serial number table. You might need to try with different user or create another user which haven't apply the sorting as a temporary workaround method because we have try to remove the sorting but it cant be done. Thus, we create/try with different user without applying the sorting and it worked. To fix the issue permanently, you will need to revert the issue to SAP.

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation

Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional does not accept the correct serial number after reinstallation, what to do?

Thank you Bill. You could help me with the answer and the one in the other forum:
"Acrobat has a separate installation process and needs to be activated with your Adobe ID I think. The question on CC is really one for the folks in the CC forum (Adobe Creative Cloud), not the Acrobat forum".
I could resolve things with Adobe CC. I don´t need my old Acrobat 8, but I could finally install Acrobat XI Pro - and this time it seems to work, without permanently crashing down.
Thank you.

I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

When you installed the Lightroom 5 on your MacBook, did it ask for both serial numbers. Since you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, you need both the serial number from your original purchase as well as the new serial number for Lightroom 5. If you have both of those numbers and they are still not being accepted then you will have to contact Adobe customer support for a solution.

In the future, you need to get smarter about how you store your serial numbers; they must be backed up onto a different disk, just like your photos; or you may use some other storage method like paper and pencil. Just like photos, you need at least 2 copies in different locations.

Need serial number to upgrade CC membership to Teams package

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can help me.
I want to upgrade my Adobe Creative Cloud membership to the teams package but need to have my serial number to do so. I can't find it anywhere - don't have my original email - and haven't been able to find it using some of the other recommended methods. For example, if I log into my account and look at my products/services I don't have the option to view my serial number there, and none of the recommendations I have read in the other forums work for me.
Is there anything else I can do to find my serial number?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
              Find your serial number quickly
              Please click above to find serial numbers.
              Here, it depends on which serial number you are looking for, prepetual [ retail / education ] or volume licensing, The common error people do is, use non volume licensing serial number to upgrade to creative cloud for teams.
              The upgrade to Cloud teams for $49.99 ( this is the current offer for existing customers ).
              In case if you do not have a volume licensing serial number of CS3 and above, I am sorry to let you know, you do not qualify for the this offer.
              But not to worry, it's never late if you are determied about something. Note: Cloud 'Always' has the latest version of features that comes', does not go with upgrade scenario, just update, which is simple then all times.
              You can contact your neareset reseller and purchase any CS6 current version volume licensing software of the least price, and then go for the creative cloud for teams. [ This is just to get the current offer going on for cloud teams ].
              In case if you do not want to purchase a volume licensing product, you can just subscribe to " Creative Clouds for Teams" at $69.99 which is a good price too, do this only if you need to have more people added under one account and not to use Credit Card details more then once.
              Cloud teams may be costly for a normal being, I would suggest you go with normal creative cloud. Be a simple being, unless you are under any organization

I have not been sent a serial number after subscribing to Captivate for a year. Does anyone know how I can get it?

I have not been sent a serial number after subscribing to Captivate for a year. Does anyone know how I can get it? Or how to actually speak to someone in Adobe ??? Very frustrating!
Thanks

You have to just sign in with your Adobe Id during the installation process and it will validate your subscription from the activation server. Once your Id is validated then your subscription will be activated. You don't need serial number to activate subscription.
You may download the product from the link mentioned below.
