Serial Number Already In Use

I've upgraded from CS4 to CS5.5 to CS6 and it's been a NIGHTMARE in terms of licensing.  I only use the program on my work PC and my traveling laptop.  I've been told from an Adobe customer service rep this is a perfectly acceptable configuration.  And yet, for the past 2 years I routinely have problems with the programs not running because I get an error saying the license is already in use.  When I get the error message, I can't "provide a different serial number" because I don't have one.  I already paid over $2,000 for the product and yet about ever 6 months I get some type of licensing error.  I wish Adobe would fix this.

Tell us more about your situation. The licensing works fine for most users.
Have you entered the same serial number for the work PC and the laptop then activated both?
That's what I've done and it works fine here.

  • Serial number already being used

    I recently purchased a copy of Acrobat 9.  After installing on my computer and putting the serial number in it is telling me that it has already been installed on two computers.  It was brand new and unopened prior to me opening it to install on my computer.  How can it already be on two computers? tried uninstalling and repeating the installation process with the same result.  What can i do to get this to work?

    It is probably worth contacting the seller in the first instance, to see if they can shed any light on it. Why were they selling ancient software and are you really sure it was unused? If it was a license transfer, you need paperwork from them otherwise Adobe consider the license hasn't transferred. Adobe may be able to help, but they will need to know answers to these sorts of questions, and Acrobat 9 support has now ended, so don't be too hopeful.

  • I lost my redemption code to install Lion onto my new computer. Is there a way I could get it again? When I go to the "get the update" page, it says that my serial number already has a code. How do I find this code again?!

    It is probably broken. You can try restoring it using Recovery Mode, but if that fails its time for a new phone. After all, it is 4 generations out of date. See: Recovery Mode

  • Good receipt with serial number already on stock W

    dear all,
    I have this issue:
    Company "A" sent a material (with serial number) to another company "B" in SAP (Intercompany flow) with customer consignment stock (W).
    Company B has to post the good receipt for that material but the system shows the error message that the serial number can't be used.
    My question is:
    is it possible to post the good receipt for a serial number already used in another plant, special stock W?
    Thank you
    Enrico

  • I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me?

    I am having problems to run logic pro 9, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user,  could anybody guide me? actually, my computer can't start  since three days ago, could it be the same problem?

    Logic is the APPlication (program, app) that you are having the problem with.
    Logic Pro can take advantage of other computers on your local (home or work) network to help it do "heavy lifting" data chores by using Bonjour and a feature called Nodes.   It seems that Logic is attempting to find and connect to another machine on your network.
    Do you have Logic installed on another computer there?  That may be the source of the confilict.
    You might want to post this question in the Logic Pro Community.
    Be sure to indicate the version of Logic Pro that you are using.  I'm sure the folks there can help you out.

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me whether there is any concept of "Serial Number" that is associated with Assets in Asset Accouting module? I know there is something called as "Serial Number Profile" for Material/Plan Maintenance etc. But I'm wondering if something similar exist for Assets too. Can you tell me what is the transaction code/path for the same, if any?
    Thanks

  • Serial number already used

    I purchased Production Premium CS6 MAC UE student version for the MAC. I had Illustrator only before. I went to the Adobe section for students and entered the product code which in turn generated a serial number. I then proceeded to install the package and entered the serial number when prompted during the installation. The installation did not complete successfully. Now when I try to re-install, it says that the serial number has already been used. How do i reset this and successfully install on the MAC?
    Regards

  • Ipod Nano First Generation Recall - Serial Number Already Submitted

    I went to the link to check if my ipod nano first gen was under the recall.  I entered the serial number and it said it was.  I closed the browser to complete the process at a later date.  Now, when I enter my serial number, it states that my "serial number has already been submitted for the program" and it won't let me do anything.
    Please help!  I wanted to email Apple, but every time I go to support and use my serial number, it shows an error.
