Serial number "invalid" installing Design Standard- Initially used on PC, changed to IMac

Hi everyone !
I have recently upgraded from my alienware to a 5K IMac, i'm now trying to re-install Adobe CS6 Design Standard. My Serial number is being rejected...
Hoping that's not because it can only be used on PC.
Dowloaded the one on my IMac from Adobe.com, just trying to put in the serial that is also from my account in adobe.
Thank-you!!!

Hoping that's not because it can only be used on PC.
Exactly that. You need to run a platform swap.
Order product | Platform, language swap
Though I can already tell you that you won't enjoy your CS6 on a 5k Retina display. It's not compatible and everything will look soft and/ or tiny.

Adobe can not validate the serial number for CS6 Design Standard. What goes wrong?

After purchasing and downloading and installing the CS6 Design Standard package serial number is requested,. After completing the SN (as sent) I get the following message: "We can not validate this serial CS6 Design Standard". What am I doing wrong

That entries are blocking the product to reach Adobe servers.
Move your hosts file to desktop and open it from there.
Then remove entries like " 127.0.0.1 lm.licenses.adobe.com " ( There should not be any Adobe related entries )
Once you have removed, close hosts window.
The drag the file back to etc folder and replace it with original hosts file.. ( open hosts once again and confirm there are no adobe entries.
Then try.

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?

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

Invalid Serial Number when installing Acrobat 9 on new PC

I wonder if this is related to the previous version issue with Acrobat 8 that displayed the same or similar error?
Here is the text from a very old document for Acrobat 8 KB if you want to try it but I don't know if it will work
Error: "You have entered an invalid serial number..." when you try to launch Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer
Issue
When you try to launch Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard on a Dell computer, the program returns the error message, "You have entered an invalid serial number. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard and enter a valid serial number when asked."
Solution
Check the alm_config_files folder for a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file.
Navigate to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\alm_config_files
The following two files should appear in this folder:
AdobeConfig.xml
AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf
Delete the AdobeConfig.xml file.
Rename the AdobeConfig.xml.aiwbf to AdobeConfig.xml by deleting the "aiwbf" suffix.
Launch Acrobat 8 Standard.
Additional Information
On some Dell computers, a duplicate AdobeConfig.xml file is created when Acrobat 8 Standard is installed. The AdobeConfig.xml file without the "aiwbf" suffix is written for a volume-license version. The correct AdobeConfig.xml file is given the suffix. When a retail version of Acrobat tries to read the volume-license AdobeConfig.xml file, Acrobat returns the error.

I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed

I have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat standard, however I no longer have the software installed and need to re-install it - the only download I can find is for the free trial of Acrobat Professional, which is no good as my serial number does not work with this.
Please can you provide a download link for Acrobat Standard
Thank you

Did you choose the download option at the time of purchase? If so please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1006208?tstart=0&promoid=KBHJQ for information on how to download the software from your account.

Yes, your license provides for installing and activating the software on two machines. Any application within the suite can only be in use on one of the machines at any given time.

I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

I have the right serial number to install arabic onto Ai, but the installer will not accept the serial number

I'm also getting the "invalid serial number", but I'm wanting to upgrade my 5.1 to 5.1.4 to take advantage of HDV 720p/24 support. Is the 5.1.4 update even an option still? I really don't want to be forced to upgrade to FCS2 and shell out $500, just to get this one feature that was included in a patch.
I went to the Registration page and it actually allowed me to register the serial number... (which I'm pretty sure I already had), but it still won't let me in to download any updates. Also, the email confirmation that was supposed to be sent has not arrived 20+ minutes later.
Very strange. I called Apple support and they estimated a wait time of 15 mins... ugh.
Anyone have other suggestions?

Sold Aperture 2 - but 'serial number invalid'

Hi there, please help
I bought Aperture 2 many months ago, but found it wouldn't work on my Powerbook G4. I then switched to Adobe Lightroom, and put the Aperture software in the cupboard.
I've just sold the software, but the new user gets the error message, 'serial number invalid'. It's possible I entered the serial number (can't remember), but the software itself was never used. How do I get the software to work for someone else?
Many thanks for any help.

If the serial number is valid it wouldn't care if it had been entered before or if it had been on a different computer. Is this a boxed set? It wasn't an upgrade was it? Do you still have the original serial number sticker?
Either the serial number you gave to the new owner is wrong or else they are entering it wrong unless the software you have was an upgrade in which case you also need the original serial number.
If you don't have the correct original number the only ones who can help are Apple.
