Serial Number conflict on CSS upgrade

I just bought Dreamweaver CS3 mac upgrade. When the program
asks for a serial number of a previous install, (because it can not
find my Studio files for some reason) All I have is my previous
Studio 8 SN: which the CS3 won't accept.
What can I do?

> What can I do?
Contact adobe customer service. They will check to make sure
it's a valid
serial then they probably have a list of steps to take from
there. It's not
something folks here can help with.

    I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

    If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5.  If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version.  Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

    If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
    I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

  • Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

    J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

    Bonjour.
    J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
    n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
    Que faut-il faire

  • Problem with serial number Lr2 to Lr4 upgrading

    Welcome. I have a problem in LR 4 I use Lr2 upgrade to L4. From time to time my PC lost the serial number of the program. I have to enter the new LR2 and LR4 number losing all presets. After reinstalling Windows 7 is still the problem exists. Is it possible to send me a new LR4 for installations already without error?

    Your presets should not be lost even if you have to re-license LR4 with 2 serial numbers.  Something else must be resetting things on your computer.   Are you using System Restore?
    Make a backup of your critical LR files elsewhere on your computer and if they are reset or lost, restore from that backup.
    Your serial number Is stored in this file:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom 4.0 Registration.lrreg
    Your presets are stored, here or with your catalog:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\[preset or template folder]\[preset or template filename.lrtemplate]
    Your preferences are stored here:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 4 Preferences.agprefs
    You can download LR 4.4.1 from here:

  • Serial number not working with upgrade from production studio

    I have an old WinXP with the first Adobe CS Production Studio Premium that I've been using for more than six years.
    I recently had to reinstall my system and now I have an install error with serial number.  The Prod Studio Prem is an upgrade
    to the Video Collection Standard. It errors on the screen when it ask for the previous version of AfterEffect and Encore.
    I had this issue before. Adobe support provided me another number and it worked.
    The odd thing about it is the install asks for AE 3.0 or later and I have AE6.5. It also asks for Encore 1.0 or later and I have Encore 1.0 & 1.5. If I can remember back several year when I called ADOBE support they said even though I qualified for the upgrade the issue probably was with the previous AE standard serial number wasn't working in the install screen. I've lost the new serial numbers now and I'm unable to reinstall.
    I'm not upgrading until next year. How can I get this working until then?

    if you don't have the old version installed you'll be prompted for both the serial number of the old version and the upgrade.  you have to use the correct serials when prompted.

  • CS5.5 Serial Number Problem for CS6 Upgrade

    I purchased a legitimate copy of CS5,5 Design Premium in August and it installed perfectly with the Adobe Serial Number. However, I decided to upgrade to CS6 Design & Web Premium but the program installer is telling me that my Serial Number is invalid and that CS5.5 is not installed on my Computer. What's going on?

  • Aperture looking (but not accepting) Serial number after Snow Leopard upgrade

    I have a problem with Aperture. I upgraded my Macbook Pro to Aperture 3 from 2 and my OS to Snow Leopard and now when I launch Aperture is looks for the serial number. No problem, I punch in the serial number from original packaging (Apertue 1.5) and it tells me the number is invalid!!! Tried the numbers from the various upgrades (Aperture 2 and 3) and it tells me they are upgrade serial numbers and to insert the original.
    What is going on? Any suggestions people? Need help urgently. Considering a reinstall but am afraid. 
    The fear harks back to my Windows days - This is the kind of nonsense I had when I was a slave to Mr Gates. Come on Apple, its supposed to be easy, right?
    HELP
    C

    Don't you have another thread open with this exact problem, except there you upgraded to 10.5.8  and were supposedly running Aperture 3 in 10.4?
    Anyway have you tried the advice I posted in the other thread?

  • Invalid Serial Number FCP1 FCS5.1 Upgrade

    My problem is similar to this
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4385305&#4385305
    I'm switching over a G4 to my new Mac Pro and the Final Cut Studio 5.1 Upgrade installer takes the upgrade serial number, but when I enter the Final Cut Pro 1 serial number it tells me it is invalid.
    I'm reading the other threads but have found no solution and I am desperate to get back to work (it's after midnight here).
    I am 100% positive I am entering the numbers correctly, the same FCP1 serial number I used on my FCP2, and FCP3 upgrades and this Final Cut Studio 5.0 upgrade on my G4.
    +++
    My Mac Pro has nothing in: /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut Studio System ID
    I believe my G4 installed something on the Mac Pro that is preventing installation (even though the G4 is no longer on the network).
    What else would explain why it worked in the past, but not now?
    I originally installed 5.0, and ran the crossgrade 5.1 right on top, but the 5.0 disk won't take my FCP1 number now either...

    Apple support answered my question:
    THE PROBLEM:
    My FCP 1 serial has been blocked.
    It has apparently been published on the internet or used by other people.
    THE FIX:
    Show Apple proof of purchase.
    Fair, I bought it off Ebay so long ago I don't have a receipt.
    THE SOLUTION:
    Buy into a new license.
    THE MORAL:
    Be very careful what you buy used...
    And don't pull your hair out all night (like I did).

  • PakeMaker 6.52 serial number not recongized when upgrading

    I have been using PageMaker 6.52 until my recent upgrade to Windows 7 which PageMaker will not run under.  I purchased a used copy of Indesign 2.0 (upgrade version) on eBay.  When trying to install, I get an error that the Indesign install program does not recogzine my PageMaker serial number.  I telephoned support and got nowhere when tried to explain the problem as the overseas call center did not understand the problem and language (English) was a barrier.
    I had ugraded my PageMaker several times over the years, and as I recall, PageMaker retained the original serial number.  The support center told me my serial number was for ver. 1.0 and not eligible for upgrade.  However, this is the correct serial number for my copy of 6.5 and this the number shown when PageMaker is running (Help - About).
    How can I get Indesign activated?  How can I talk to someone stateside that speaks understandable English?  Thank you for your help.

    You are on your own here with version 2.0 upgrade.
    This is an old problem and a known issue with PM 6 upgrades to InDesign not recognizing upgraded serial numbers of PM. Search the forums for more data from discussions on this (start here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1285142#1285142)
    And I am afraid you are out of luck with Adobe on this as they only support the most recent version, ID CS4 (until CS5 ships shortly), at this time. If you can get any help from them on this count yourself lucky. There may be an Adobe info or data page on this in their Knowledge Base archives but you'll get that in any search you make within this web site.
    Also, as a caveat, InDesign didn't convert PM6 files well at all until version 5 (CS3), from what I read here on this forum. And ID version 2 isn't supported in Windows 7 (but it may run fine) so no love from Microsoft either.

  • Serial number conflict

    I purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro product and installed it from AcrobatPro_11_Web_WWMUI.exe into HP PC with Windows 8.1 operating system.
    When I start the program it tells that "Checking the serial number ..."
    After some seconds it displays the message "The serial number given is active but there is no such product in your computer".
    I checked my Adobe account my purchase history and reloaded the installation exe therefrom and reinstalled the product.
    The result was identical as above.
    What have I done wrong ?

    Hi heikki24,
    The license you are using is an Upgrade serial number and the installer is validating the previous qualifying version serial key.
    Please enter the older version key when prompted and it should be fine.

  • Locate serial number for Acrobat 9, upgrade to Acrobat 11.

    How can I find the serial number for Acrobat 9 on my old Dell laptop, so that I can then use the serial number to upgrade to Acrobat 11 on my new Surface Pro2? Do I have to deactivate the old software? The laptop will no longer be in use after I can get the serial number from it, and then I can delete Acrobat 9.

    Hi CVI_Mike,
    You won't be able to retrieve the serial number from the Acrobat which is already installed on your machine.
    I would request you to go through the below link and check.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html
    You don't have to deactivate the old software in order to install Acrobat 11 on the new machine.

  • Invalid Serial number and RAM memory upgrade problem

    1. Please, I am trying to reinstall Snow Leopard, at the end is coming
    "Invalid serial number entered Setup requires a valid serial number. The serial number has the format XSVR-106-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x!
    but my serial number is:
    C07XXXXXXXXX!
    What is wrong?
    2. When I try to install 1 DDR Kingston 8GB PC3 10600 CL9 204-PIN SODIMM is coming a clicking sound, What is the problem?
    Thanks.

    All OS X Server 10.6 purchases include a product serial number key, and this serial number key is a required part of the OS X Server installation.   This is a product activation key, and as shown in the display this key begins with XSVR-106 for OS X Server 10.6.  This key was included with the paperwork from the original purchase on a couple of stickers on a card, if this system was acquired with OS X Server 10.6.  If this OS X Server 10.6 media was acquired from elsewhere, then look for a sticker with the media and packaging.  Otherwise, please contact the vendor and ask for the serial number for the media you've acquired.  If you've purchased this Mac Mini with OS X Server 10.6 from Apple directly and no longer have the key, then you'll want to contact Apple Support for assistance.
    As for your second (memory) question, presumably the memory is not compatible with your particular Mac Mini, or there's a problem with the memory itself.  There are usually tech specs available listing the particular requirements for the memory for a particular Mac Mini system.  If you purchased this memory from Kingston specifically for this particular system, contact the Kingston support folks and ask for assistance.
    If you post the specific model of Mac Mini, somebody here can probably locate the memory requirements.

  • Serial Number not recognized for upgrade

    I entered the Serial Number on the back of the box for Adobd PHhotoshop CS3, but received an error message which said it was invalid and to contact customer support. Does Customer Support monitor this Forum? How do I contact them?

    that’s where I was already - how do I contact a real person I can talk to on the phone or live chat online?
