Serial number invalid after installing on second mac
I have an educational licence of CS6 (mac) I bought a year ago. Now I installed it on a second computer (mac) at the place where I work sometime (this Mac is nog registered to me personaly).
Soon after the serial was invalid on both computers. I deleted the software completely, but sadly i didn't deactivate it first. Tried to reinstall to deactivate, but the serial is now invalid.
What to do?
Olivier
Hi, I have the same problem after replacing my hard drive. I reinstalled CS4 from the DVD and put the serial number but CS said the serial number is invalid.
CS is deactivated on other computer and also on old hard drive.
I need to work... I would greatly appreciate it if this can be solved quickly.
Thank you!!

Acrobat XI Pro Serial Number Invalid after transfer to new Mac
I recently got the new MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 and when I started up my computer I transferred all of my information over to my new Mac from my old MacBook (2008 version).
I was happy that my Acrobat XI Pro transfered over, but it only transfered as a "trial" software and all previous records of purchasing my sofware in my account at Adobe are now gone. I thought I would be fine because the trial software frequently reminds me that it is a trial, and prompts me for my serial number. I have my serial number from my previous Acrobat saved and entered that number. When I do, this message pops up,
"This serial number is not valid for Acrobat XI Pro. You can either use a valid serial number for Acrobat XI Pro or use this serial number on the appropriate product."
What???
Please help, my trial ends soon and I've run out of options. I can't lose this expensive software!Hi NLC alamo,
Adobe does not recommend using any migration software to transfer the software.
Please remove Acrobat and reinstall it and use the serial number to activate it. -
Using serial from product box, but serial number invalid after installation?
Ok, so. I have a copy of Photoshop 5, a physical copy, in the original box. I tried to install it on my computer, and actually did so successfully--it recognized the serial number from the box as correct and did a full install. However, when I actually opened Photoshop for the first time, a message came up saying that the serial number was invalid, and my options were to enter a new one or wait until next time, when I'd have to enter a new one for Photoshop to run.
I haven't closed it yet because I need it for work and don't want to risk it not running. Why would my definitely valid serial number not work? I double and triple checked what I typed in, and it initially accepted it, only rejecting it after installation.
I'm on Windows 7.Welcome to the forum.
Did you purchase this copy of Ps 5 (Assume CS5, but please correct me, if it is the very old Ps version 5) from Adobe, or a 3rd party?
If from Adobe, log into Adobe.com with your Adobe ID and go to My Products. Verify the S/N there.
If from a 3rd party, it could well be that the S/N provided has been "used up."
Good luck,

Dreamweaver CS4 serial number invalidated after 8 months of use
In January 2nd 2014, I purchased an OEM version of Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows from a reseller called "Smart Shop" which looked like a serious outfit [emails from Jet Support were received with a link to "Access your order and customer support http://appscustomerscare.com"]. A serial number was obtained. I downloaded the program from their site and installed it without any problem: When I launched the application, the serial number was inserted and the Adobe server validated it: the application worked seamlessly for more than 8 months.
Yesterday, when I launched Dreamweaver CS4, a dialog box showed up stating the the serial number used was invalid! I used the serial number that I had been given to activate Dreamweaver but the form showed a red X at the end of the serial number meaning the the serial number was invalid.
[personal information removed... Mod - https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3731]
[This is an open forum, not Adobe support, please do not post personal information]
Now, I'm back to the trial version (available for 29 more days)!
Is there a licensing problem link with buying an OEM version of Dreamweaver from resellers?
Why was the serial number considered valid on first run and all successive runs and then invalidated after 8 months?
How can I be sure that my next "bona fide" purchase of Dreamweaver won't run into the same problem?
Is there a way to recognize good from bad resellers?Sorry you got nailed - Next time try this

Photoshop Elements 11 serial number invalid after computr reset
I reset my computer (Windows 8 OS) and all programs installed through disc were deleted. I need to reinstall Photoshop Elements 11, but when I entered my product's serial number it said it was invalid. The program was completely erased from my system, and yet it is still activated. Is there any way to deactivate it without the program being on my system? Is there any way to reinstall it at all?
you don't need to deactivate if you're installing on the same computer (as long as there were no major hardware changes).
but, if you want to deactivate and uninstalled program, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
make sure you're using the correct number to activate: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html -
Serial Number invalid after second install attempt
That sums it up. Now somebody fix it.
What are you trying to install? Do you receive an error message? What operating system are you using? Do you have any other Adobe Creative Software installed?

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.

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.

My version of Lightroom 6 is still showing trial version after Serial Number has been Installed.
I have tried re-installation but still have the same problem.
Could you please forward a solution to this problem.Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

My last computer crashed and my new computer doesn't have a disk drive. I downloaded the CS package, put in my serial number,but during install is is still requiring a disk. What do I do?
is your cs6 a upgrade?
if so, after entering your cs6 serial number you will be prompted to select the qualifying product from a dropdown. select the product you own and enter its serial number.
after entering each serial number at the correct time installation will proceed.
if no, what files (names and extensions) did you download and what are the file sizes shown on your hd? -

Serial number request after transfer
Following many reinstallations when transfering my complete catalog of PE 8, I now receive this message when switching fron Organizer to Editor:
- I have deactivate this serial number on one of my PC and I can ask Adobe now to validate this number;
- I have a new serial number...;
- I want to solve this problem later (5 days remaining).
What should I do since I do not want to to deactivate now on my old PC before I am completely sure of the transfer. So I must continue workig for now.
Beside my intention woul be to up grade to PE 10 some day, Should I do it now in order to solve everyting? In that case what w will happen with the old catalog? Must I keep version 8 on the PC?
Help pleaseIt does’nt seem to cover PE 8 so it does not solve my problem.

I have aperture 3.2.4 on my laptop and have the serial number, but just bought a new MAC and I can't get the Ver 3.0 link to work. Anyone know how to move it from my laptop to our new mac?
I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
/Applications/Aperture.app
/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/
