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.

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.

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?

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,

Serial number invalid since this morning

Since this morning my Adobe CS 6 Master Collection serial number is suddenly invalid. So all my Suite programs start up in a trial version...
In "My adobe"> "my products" it does display the serial# under "products in use" but when I enter this it says the # is invalid.
My guess is that the serial# is seen as in use but somehow the Master Suite I have been using for over a year now has forgotten this serial?
Please help! I have tried contacting the Adobe Narender help-bot but without luck...

Hello 4.zlo,
I was online with support last night from 2:00AM until 6:00AM because of the long wait times, dealing with the same issue. The answer was: your license is good but now it isn't because it expired. It was a permanent license but it is set to expire after about a year. Then, you have to send us proof of purchase (after I already registered it) and the only proof of purchase we'll accept does not include digital sales (like mine) through online shops. So, I get to ask pretty please that the reseller create a form that has nothing to do with the way they normally do business so that I can prove to Adobe I bought the software they acknowledged as purchased when it was first registered last year.
If Jeff A. Wright is reading this, I finally got a case ID. Here it is: 0212006956
Best of luck,
AP

Serial Number Invalid when upgrading to PSE 12 (MacOS)

Many users have reported that after purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 for MacOS, the serial number provided shows as invalid when installing Photoshop Elements 12.
We are aware of this issue and are actively working on a fix both on our store page as well as working to get a resolution out to the users who have been affected by this.
In the meantime, you're of course free to use the 30 day trial, which is a fully functioning version of PSE, and you'll be able to put the working serial number in once it has been made available to you.
We really apologize for the inconvenience this has caused some of you, and hope to have this resolved very soon.
Hang in there.
Thanks!
Pete

I enter the same serial number that shows up on the screen when Final Cut is loading and I keep getting a "Serial Number is not Valid" message. How can this be if it IS MY SERIAL number? Has anyone run into this problem? < </div>
Yar, we see it almost everyday around here so you can scroll down a few hundred posts and find several common threads.
Your serial, as displayed, is short four digits.
That information was supplied to you on two little stickers that came with your previous version of FCP and, of course, you carefully stuck one inside your manual and you put the other in a very safe place because you knew one day you would need them and you knew no one would ever be able to supply them.

Help with Photoshop CS5 Serial Number Invalid? Please HELP!

Well hey guys, i bought the CD and everything when i had the trial version. I put the Serial number and pressed "Continue". It went away, all the features were there. When i pressed CSLive it said that it was invalid. But everytime i start up Photoshop CS5, they dont ask me for my serial number. Ever since i put in my serial number, it hasnt asked me. I could care less about CSlive. Should i be concerned, all i really want is the product, not CSlive. Should i be concerned.

CSLive features require you to register your serial number so it is tied to your Adobe ID. It seems you haven't done that and thus get the warning or you have registered a foreign language serial and are thus not allowed to use your actual language version of CSLive. Don't ask, it's kinda silly, I know. You won't miss much as a PS user, though. Most of this stuff is aimed at web designers and people using collaborative tools like Adobe Story and Live Exchange.

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.

mettaphyzical
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?
