Serial Number Invalid on Reinstall

I haven't been able to open Au 3 for the past while. Every time I tried I would get the displayed error (have no idea what it;s referring to). I finally decided to uninstall and reinstall, but upon reinstalling, I have found that my serial number won't be accepted as valid anymore. This is the only machine I've used Au 3 on. Any suggestions? Keep in mind the error isn't the issue any more - it's that Au is saying my serial number is invalid.

Audition 3 and the activation service

Acrobat Pro X serial number "invalid" on reinstalling

For reasons unconnected with Adobe products, I've needed to repartition my hard disc and reinstall the operating system. To reinstate Acrobat Pro X, which I'd purchased previously, I downloaded it again from the Adobe site, and retrieved my serial number via my Adobe account. However, when I installed it, the software alleged that my serial number was invalid. Why? I paid a lot of money for Acrobat Pro. What do I do?

I have just experienced the same problem with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI. I hope there is an easy solution.

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.

Invalid serial number error when reinstalling Acrobat 9

I am retiring an old PC that had Acrobat 9 Standard installed on it. I retrieved the serial number using JellyBean keyfinder. When I try to install Acrobat 9 Standard on the replacement PC and enter the serial number I get an error that the serial number is invalid. As you would expect, Adobe support will not help. So is there anything I can do?
The first four digits of the serial # are: 1016

Just talked with Chat. I will post the transcript. What a waste of time.

Had installed cs4 trial version, then tried to enter serial number, but it was invalid and now I can't seem to reinstall the trial version as I had been using, as it comes up serial number invalid even though I am just asking for a trial basis of 30 days.

does anyone know what to do next so I can continue to use the trial versions of cs4. It appears as I have been kicked out for good because I entered the serial number wrong. Spoke to a rep and they said this was not available to purchase online, as it is an older version, but I need the old version to use the halftone option they have on cs4. sure would appreciate some advice, thanks to anyone who might have the answer.

If the trial version is indicating it is no longer available and you need to enter the serial number to activate it then that is the end of the trial version for that machine. If you have another machine then that will be one way of getting the trial version running for another trial period.

Serial Number Invalid?

I am attempting to reinstall my retail copy of Logic Express 8.
I type in the serial number and it tells me it is invalid.
I've tried using 1's instead of I's and 0's instead of O's.
This isn't an issue of another copy being installed elsewhere,
I've formatted the drive it was previously installed to.
I'm not sure what I should do as apple doesn't really have email or phone support for this software it seems.

Was it a fresh install of LE8 or did you upgrade from LE7? I know some people who installed LE7 and then did the upgrade to 8. There are some Serial Number issues occasionally. If you did, you might have to re-install 7 again.

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 for elements premiere

recently had to troubleshoot my laptop and I had elements installed on it. now it says the serial number is invalid and that the previous number was already used. what do I need to do to reinstall my paid for product.

Thanks for the follow. Sorry that the news was not better.
But, this is not Adobe. Rather a user to user forum.
1. When you went looking for your serial number at Adobe, did you look under My Products as I suggested or did you look under My Orders instead.
I wrote:
If you have not already, go to Adobe web site http://www.adobe.com, sign in, in the Search field type My Products.
Follow the My Products link to your products. In your products find Adobe Premiere Elements 12 and click on it to
reveal the serial number.
If there is no serial number, nothing can be done.
2. Since you have Premiere Elements 12, not the current version, keep in mind that Adobe typically supports only the latest version (now 13).
3. As for money back
a. Are you within 30 days of purchase from Adobe direct? Unlikely if you have version 12. If you were and this was the latest version, you
could request return/refund from the online Adobe Chat Orders. And, if you had purchased from an authorized reseller, then you would have
to deal with the return/refund policy of the seller.
b. Return/Refund is up to Adobe. In spite of your situation, you could contact Adobe to describe your situation. Ask for a supervisor if necessary.
In this situation, Adobe is the only one who can help you.
When you registered your product originally, were you using the same Adobe ID and Password that you are currently using?
