Serial number from Homesite keeps disappearing

I am a paid registered and licensed user of Homesite 5.5 and have used it regularly with my serial number and name entered.
Very recently every time I launch Homesite I am asked to renter my serial number and name, otherwise the app shuts down. When I enter it it runs okay.
Kind of a pain.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Curt

I wonder if you have rights to that part of the registry.
I know I didn't on one machine where I didn't have admin rights.
see these faqs.  they might help.
FAQ: Does Homesite 5.x only work under an Administrator account?

  • I keep getting an invalid serial number when re-installing Adobe Acrobat 9 I am getting my serial number from my registered products

    I keep getting an invalid serial number when re-installing Adobe Acrobat 9 I am getting my serial number from my registered products

    If it was an upgrade version, it may be you are being asked for the qualifying product S/N and are entering the new S/N instead. That would cause a problem.

  • Recently reinstalled Acrobat 9 pro. Got serial number from adobe. Now keep getting the message upgrade. No 9 in dropdown. Then tells me to enter serial or only have 22 days left. Reinstalled 3 times.

    Can anyone help please?

    Sorry that you got such a hassle. Try this. I don't have Acrobat 9 per se, but I have the TCS2 and found the following.
    Run Regedit (all the serious warning apply here. Look but don't touch).
    Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHNINE->SOFTWARE->Adobe->Repair->Adobe Acrobat->9.0->IOD Look under the entry under SERIAL.
    Maybe it works maybe it doesn't. But it might help.

  • Extract Win8 serial number from Recovery DVD

    Hello, I recently had a failure of hard disk and had to install a new one. Unfortunately, getting a recovery DVD from HP took time so i started using a trail version of Windows 8. Finally my Recovery DVD arrived from HP and now i am trying to avoid installing the orginal OS from scratch. Anyway to extract just the windows serial number from the DVD? or may be install OS on top of the existing installation (i know this sounds crazy). Please help. I would hate to lose a bunch of softwares and documents that are already on this now. ENVY dv7 windows 8, 64 bit Thanks! Pradeep

  • Missing Serial number from System profiler

    I just noticed that I'm missing the serial number from my System Profiler.
    The only reason why I noticed is that I was trying to gather information about the macs on the network via remote desktop and I found several that will not allow me to gather information about the system.
    They are all the ones missing the serial number from System profiler.
    How can I add it back? Also anyone know why it is missing?

    The serial number disappears when the motherboard/logic board is switched out, because the serial number is linked to that piece of hardware.
    Authorized Apple repair tech are supposed to use some special software to input the S/N onto the logic board. Possibly they can do it for you.

  • Cinema display serial number from plist

    Hi, I need help getting my cinema display serial number from an old Plist file.  My office was broken into recently and someone made off with the monitor.  It's a long shot but I thought I could find the serial number for the campus police.  I was able to find an old com.apple.windowserver.plist file that had some information for the display.  I tried the command <defaults read ./com.apple.windowserver.plist> and came up with the following.  Problem is they don't look like serial numbers for a cinema display.  Any suggestions? 
                    DisplayID = 69530633;
                    DisplayProductID = 37430;
                    DisplaySerialNumber = 42039688;
                    DisplayVendorID = 1552;

    Hi ,
    Go to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist. Open this with TextWrangler or a similar utility. Look for a DisplaySerialNumber key with an integer value that isn't 0. With any luck, this should be the s/n of your display.
    If you haven't used this display for a while, the records of it may be gone.
    Also, it appears that this isn't guaranteed. Double-check if possible.

  • Hi. I've changed my hard drive on my macbook pro and wanted to reinstall logic pro but although I took the serial number from the "about" box it rejects it when I try to reinstall. It was an upgrade to Logic 8 originally. What can I do? Urgent!

    Hello. I have installed a new hard drive on my Macbook Pro with OSX Tiger. I tried to reinstall Logic 8 Pro but it refuses the serial number when I try to install it. I took the serial number from the "About" box when Logic was still installed but no good. The software was originally an upgrade, and I don't think I have the disks for the previous version. What do I do? This is important because I only use the computer for music. Thank you.

    There's actually an even simpler solution that doesn't include buying a new version of Logic.  He can use his original version easily.  Of course, that depends if the OP knows how to effectively use his computer though...

  • How to remove serial number from a PC?

    Hello,
    I had previously activated some NI products on a PC using my serial number. Now, I'm transferring ownership of the PC to someone else, so I've deactivated the products. However, the serial number is still recorded somewhere in the PC: In the NI License Manager, when I select Activate -> Use a Web browser... it auto-fills the fields with my serial number.
    How do I wipe this serial number from the PC?
    Thanks!

    @uday: Yes, there are no more traces of the license files. I have NI License Manager 3.7. (But even though the license files are gone, my serial number remains)
    @RavensFan: Because this is a brand new PC which forms part of a product I developed for a customer. I activated the Development versions of LabVIEW and TestStand for debugging purposes, just like this guy 5 years ago. Now I want to ship the system to the customer with LabVIEW RTE and the TestStand Base Deployment License in place, without undoing and redoing the work I've done on it.
    Well, suppose I completely uninstall all NI software. I get the impression that if my customer decides to install their own copy of NI software on this PC, the first thing they'll see in the activation wizard is my serial number, which is stored somewhere in the PC. I'd like to find out where the serial number is stored, so that I can wipe it.

    I bought a new computer and downloaded my lightroom 4 to it. When I installed the program it asked for my serial number and I imputed it. Then it asked for my previous serial number from my original lightroom 3 purchase. Since I upgraded to lightroom 4 I don't have the serial number for the version 3. How do I get the serial number from my 3 version so I can activate my version 4 program

    If you have Lightroom 3 still installed, you can get it from there.
    If you don't and you have your box/disk, it should be on there.
    IF you don't have either of those,and you registered your software, you can log into your Adobe account and retrieve it there.

  • I have my iphone activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

    I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
    Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.

    You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
    Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it?

  • I have CS2 and am interested in buying CS4,or CS5, or CS5.5 used. Will my serial number from my CS2 work for an upgrade version?

    Like to own hard copy CS at the cheapest possible price.
    CS2 will not work with Lion.
    I'm looking at used CS4 upgrade discs that are for sale.
    Will my serial number from my CS2 work for the upgrade?

    There are no upgrade paths from CS2.
    If you purchased used software you're pretty much on your own. Much of what is sold on places like eBay or Craigs List doesn't have valid licenses. Caveat emptor.

  • Can anyone help me get a serial number from Adobe & Identit-e?

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard Student & Teacher edition through Amazon online. I followed the instructions inside the package to verify my eligibilty as an educator. I received a message on the screen after submitting my materials that I was verified & I would be receiving a serial number.  This was on June 1. I contacted Adobe Chat and a rep. told me to wait 2 -3 business days, but still no email with serial number had arrived. On June 7, I contacted Adobe Chat again and the rep told me to contact customer service at identit-e.  I have sent  identit-e two emails with no response. It has been one week of trying to get my serial number from either Adobe or identit-e.  Can anyone help me get my serial number?
    Product Code <removed by moderator>. 
    My work email is <Removed by moderator>

    Jeff,
    I ordered through Amazon and not through Adobe so there is not a record of my order on the Adobe website.  I do have a record of the order with Amazon so I requested a refund through Amazon.  The product is unusable without the serial number.  It has been 8 days since my eligibility  was verified with identit-e.  I have spoken with three Adobe rep.s and two unanswered email to identit -e trying to get the serial number since I was verified as eligible to receive the student/educator version of Creative Suites. I am very disaapointed with the lack of help I have received from Adobe with this issue.
    Being referred to identit-e or to a FAQ page is not what I needed to solve the problem- I needed the serial number  I have lost complete confidence in Adobe's customer service and that the serial number will ever be provided.

  • I want to setup Lightroom on my new laptop.  I have my latest serial number but it is the upgrade serial number for LR5.  I do not have the original serial number from my purchase of LR3.  How can I recover the serial number from my original purchase of ?

    I want to setup LR on my new laptop.  I have the serial number from my latest purchase but not the original purchase of LR3.  How can I recover the serial number from my original LR purchase?

    If you did register it back then, open your Adobe account with your Adobe ID and you will find it there: Find your serial number quickly
    If you still have it installed, open the System info in Help menu or look here:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom\Lightroom xy Registration.lrreg
