Serial number is invalid when trying to install Creative Suite 6 (Student/Teacher Edition) on my new mac?

I have deactivated CS6 on my old laptop, but every time I try to enter the serial number to re-activate it tells me that it is invalid. Is there a period of time that I have to wait before it becomes able to be activated again? It's been about 24 hours. Or could the problem be that it was previously installed on a PC, but now I have upgraded to a mac? Is there any way to fix this? Please help! Thank you!

Normally a PC serial number is not valid for a Mac version.  I don't know if the following holds for Student/Teacher editions though there should be something similar...
Change product platform or language
You can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • Getting serial number is invalid when trying to install acrobat 9 pro

    Hello,
    I am getting a message stating that the serial number is invalid when trying to re-install adobe acrobat 9 pro on windows 8. adobe support confirmed that the srial number I am trying to us is valid though. any help is appreciated.

    Nope,I downloaded the software from adobe website: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    All it says is "Invalid Serial Number" I already checked with adobe support and they confirmed that the serial number is valid, they won't provide any more help "because acrobat 9 is out of support now".

  • Setup.app freezes when trying to install Creative Suite 4

    HI, I can't seem to get to the install window where you pick which programs to install. I click the setup.app file and it freezes seconds later. It doesn't crash and no error messages pop up. The only thing i can do is force quit and try again. All other programs are closed.
    I have 10.4.11 Tiger on my MacBook and the system meets the minimum requirements
    I've tried:
    -Creative Suite Cleanup (uninstalled flash plugins etc)
    -Adobe Support Advisor (it found no errors on the disc)
    -ran Disk Utility to repair permissions
    -restarting computer
    People i've talked to think it is a font issue, but when i ran the support advisor no errors came up. I unlocked disabled fonts.
    Also found this in console.log: executing /Volumes/Adobe CS4 Design Premium Disc 1/Adobe CS4 Design Premium/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup
    terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
      what():  Invalid path passed to FileSystemPath constructor.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

  • Error (-1) when trying to install creative suite 5 design premium

    I am trying to install on new desktop, and get error(-1) code. I did have this on old laptop, but it quit working. Please help

    Amyjoan50 I am sorry but I don't have any experience with attempting to run Creative Suite 5 in a virtual box.  You will want to make sure that the applications have access to the necessary video drivers.  This can often be an issue when trying to run a virtual OS.
    You may also want to check with the Ubuntu or Virtual Box community to see if others have had success trying to install using Virtual Box.

  • My serial number is invalid, how do I install

    My serial number is invalid, how do I install my purchased product?

    Are you sure it's your serial number and not a redemption code? If you bought PSE at best buy you got a redemption code that you use to get a serial number. The PSE serial number is a 24-digit number beginning with 1057 and containing no letters, only numerals.

  • Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite

    HI together,
    I'm very annoyed about the fact that I payed for Adobe Creative Suite Production Premium 5 (EDU version) and now I'm not able to use it on my new Mac. The Support team (Chat) from Adobe told me several times that the product/serial or whatever was canceled but this doesn't help me to get the product working and I won't pay again for this software. So what's the reason for cancellation? I can't see reasons for this and I don't understand why Support team can't help me. Already found Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite but this doesn't helped me.
    Regards
    René

    Maybe this is also useful... They told me I canceld this by myself which is not the truth. I had a Windows machine and used Creative Cloud as well but I only canceld the Cloud, not my Serial Number for Production Premium...
    So who is able to reactivate my Serial Number so that I'm able to use my product?

  • Trouble trying to install Creative Suite Standard Design.

    Trouble trying to install Creative Suite Standard Design 6. It stalls at around 20% when installing "Adobe Help" component. Install time increases but does not go past 20%. Tried several times with same result. I am running Windows 8.1. regards Thomas

    while installing, when installation starts to stall, open your running processes and terminate the adobe help process.  installation should then continue.

    Trying to install Creative Suite 2 premium on my MAcBook Pro. its telling me its not supported

    It means what it says. It's simply old software that doesn't run on contemporary Macs. You need to come up with something else like buying a current version or joining Creative Cloud.

  • Serial number says invalid when I put it on a new computer MacBook pro

    I Purchased pse13 and installed it on my pc.  However I decided to purchase a Mac book pro and want to install pse13 on it as I will be selling my pc.  It keeps telling me the serial number is invalid.  Also how do I make a backup copy of the software since I downloaded and don't have a disk.  Thank you.

    You have a serial number. It's registered to your account. The rest is of no consequence. Contact support if you need to reset activations.
