Doug,
Just to make sure:
Is it AI as a standalone application for Mac?
Otherwise, it will be one of the other serial numbers (for the whole suite (Mac or Win) if it forms part of it, or for the standalone Win AI).
Concerning the whole suite, you should be aware that the only suite version available for download is the Standard, so if you have the CS2 Premium you will need to, you have to download the Standard and then the Acrobat Professional and GoLive separately.

I have a windows 7 system and use Adobe Reader XI, 11.0.05 All my excel spreadsheet files have converted to Adobe files and I cannot access my excel spreadsheets. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled the version all over, and I also downloaded a security patch, however, I am still having the same problem. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen and what I might be able to do to fix this ? Thank you
I don't understand; did you really convert all your Excel docs to PDF (how?), or did you merely lose/change the file association?
If the latter, that's really easy: http://windows.microsoft.com/is-is/windows7/change-the-program-that-opens-a-type-of-file -
I am getting the 'invalid personalization information' error when I start my photoshop cs8. I cannot find my original disk to re-install, but do have the serial number. Can I download a trial version and then enter my serial number?
If it is the first CS version then you will need to check out the following. I believe it applies to CS as well even though it specifies CS2....

Serial Number (Lack of) for CS2
I am attempting to download CS2 and it is asking me for a serial number. Another user recommended I create a ZIP file, however this is on a work computer so I was granted special privileges once to download the program. How can I find this number or bypass it with out having to re-download files?
Did you pay for PS CS2 many years ago, so you are a licensed user? Be aware that the CS2 licensing servers were decommissioned some years ago so you have to download and install special versions of CS2 and use a special serial number, but this is only for users that originally purchased CS2 and are licensed to use it.
If all that is ok, then here is the page that has the links and special serial numbers for CS2 downloads that don't need activation:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
If you don't have this version then I don't know of any way to get it without downloading it. It is unclear what situation you're talking about regarding zip files or special privileges and what that might have to do with a serial number. Also the term "download" typically means to get a file from a far away server (like Adobe's) and copy it to your local PC or Mac using the internet. This process should not, yet, be asking for a serial number. What does ask for a serial number is when you install the program using the installer that was downloaded. -
Got error during installation saying serial number is invalid for a photoshop and premiere elements package I bought from Adobe website last year. Anybody has a solution for this? Thanks.

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 lost my phone, I don't have internet on my phone and I need the serial number to track it
I lost my phone, I don't have internet on my phone and I need the serial number to track it.. I just have my number and the company service.. Is it possible to know it with my apple ID?
From Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product:
... Although Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product, you can use My Support Profile to find a list of serial numbers for items purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Try that too. -

i had installed Adobe CS5 Master Collection on my PC about a year ago, the PC is now dead and i purchased a mac.
i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it? and if yes how and where do i go? would appreciate anyones help. Cheers Roni just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it?
No.
Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. There is a platform swap process (from Mac to PC etc) but only for CS6.
As a CS5 owner, your choices are to either pay to upgrade to CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud. -

How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data. -
I am trying to re-install Photoshop CS6. The files have downloaded but I get and error message that the Adobe Support Advisor is required to determine what the installation probIem is. I click on the link that says "get the Support Advisor here only to be told the Support Advisor no longer exists!! A blind loop. I need to have Photoshop CS6 installed...what do I do from here??
The CC Cleaner Tool assumes the Akamai Download Manager is activated and it has not. It seems to be the missing file that triggers the error message. \in a previous re-install I was prompted to download & install the Akamai Download Manger, but not this time. Is there somewhere on the Adobe website that I can download it??
