Serial number CS6 invalid

Hi, When I want to use my CS6 products and Adobe Acrobat Pro I all of a sudden have to fill in my serial number. When I do this it says it's invalid. It is certainly the correct number. What can I do about this? Thanks a lot!

Bought it from another company
it came with disk, serial number was on the receipt (and is still in My Adobe account, so I suppose it must be still valid)
only for Photoshop it said "serial number no longer valid". For the other programs I tried (adobe acrobat pro, adobe illustrator) I have to fill in the serial number ones I try to start the program, or it wants to give me a 30 day trial of the program

  • 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:

  • CS6 - cannot activate my product after changing my PC config - I did deactivate it on my previous configuration - "serial number is invalid"

    I recently changed my desktop PC configuration and unfortunately I cannot activate my CS6 Web&Design serial number on it - I receive "serial number is invalid" message when trying to activate it. I do have an active installation on my laptop, but I don't want to remove it and I should be able to have two computers activated to my serial number. I did deactivate the product on my old desktop PC, so it's no longer tied to it and one activation should be free.
    Any help or should I wait for tomorrow and use the chat?

    First check if the installation media that you have is correct or not, check which product and version it says on the title bar of the Serial number window.
    Download the correct installer according to the language and the Operating system.
    Download CS6 products
    Second the language, try changing the language in the End User license agreement windows at the beginning of the installation to either English(North America) or International English.
    The language option is on the top left corner of the EULA window.
    Hope that helps!

  • CS6 serial number now invalid?

    I bought CS6 student and teacher edition a while ago. I had all sorts of problems with the initialization. I installed one version on my macbook pro and one version on my macbook air as I work from home on one and travel with the other. About 1 month ago my illustrator, in design and photoshop ceased to open. I get an error message saying that my serial number is invalid, and already used on a maximum of two machines, that I need a new serial number. I have only ever had the program installed on two machines. I tried to install it on my old macbook pro but it was too old to take the newer version of the software so I couldn't even install it, let alone activate it. (The new macbook pro was a replacement).
    I have no idea what to do. Other than uninstall and reinstall all the programs which is a complete pain.
    With all the issues I had just getting the software this is the last thing I need

  • After my macbook was serviced, when I tried to open CS6, it prompted me to key in the serial number. After keying in, I got error message saying the serial number is invalid. However I have checked that it is correct.

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Receiving message that serial number is invalid

    My computer crashed and I'm trying to reinstall CS6 Creative Suite Master collection on a new computer and when I type in the serial number I'm receiving a message that the serial number is invalid.  Could this error be because it is still authorized for the old computer?

    How can you contact support. I'm also having same problem, but cannot reach them. Terrible. Get no reaction back from chat and do not have and/or could not find a phone number. Pls advise. Already trying to get things running here from 15th feb 2015. Making me crazy

  • Serial number is invalid (after 2,5 years of use and legal purchase of package)

    Hi,
    Since 20 days my CS6 says that my serial number is invalid. I purchased my software 2,5 ago, CD and serial included. I tried to set it up again, but it switches to the trial version (8 days to go..... ) and won't accept the serial number.
    What can I do?

  • Serial number is invalid"" error

    I have an activated version of Premiere Pro CS5.5 installed on a new laptop. I have installed CS6 from a purchased DVD which had no serial number. No I get the error "serial number is invalid"and the CS6 is running as a trial version. How do I find out what the serial number is?  I have tried the support helpline but just get put on hold - for as long as I care to wait!

    >installed CS6 from a purchased DVD which had no serial number
    Since you did not install from an Adobe download, I no of no way that Adobe can help you
    Where did you purchase the disc, and did you throw some away of the packaging?
    I have NEVER purchased a disc product which required a serial number and there was no serial number included

  • Previously usable serial number now invalid?

    I was given a free download of CS6 Design Standard from my work, which I have used. Then, last week, I was uninstalling the trial version of the CS6 Master Suite (which I had also been using and had expired), but in doing so, I accidentally uninstalled the design standard. Now, when I go to re-install it with the same serial number I used before, Adobe says my serial number is invalid. How can this be? And how can I get my programs back? Please help!
    EDIT: Turns out I was using the Mac serial instead of the Windows. Glad it was a quick fix!

    That is the window/message with invalid serial
    Also, Verizon found a Trojan on my PC and removed it, it came from brushes I downloaded for PS. Either way I do it or try it now the serial is invalid.

    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

    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.

    Naresh: Is there anything else I can help you with?
    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.
