Serial Number issue. (Please Read)

After my logic board has been replaced while traveling around the world,
I found out that when I tried to check the serial number in "About this Mac",
it shows "SystemSeumb"...
Is there a way to fix this issue? or I have to bring it in to have a check?
*I did reformat the whole system yesteryday, but still no sign of fix"
Please let me know, if you have the answer.
Thank you very much

"Nor does it affect warranty or other available service"
Shure it affects warranty. Since Apple keeps a registered serial for your Macbook in their DB for warranty purposes (which can be set to the time of purchase), you aren't required to keep a receipt.
But because the notebook now has no serial number, they won't be able to tell if it is still under warranty according to their records. In fact, they won't even be able to tell who's notebook it is (unless you produce the work order).
So now you have to keep the work order to show that an Apple tech replaced the logic board and failed to imprint the serial on it. What if you don't have that piece of paper? How are they to discern if it is the correct notebook?
Even if you do have the paper, can't you just bring in any notebook that is not even yours so long as it doesn't have a serial number? You don't see the problems that may arise when techs don't fully do their jobs?

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and the serial number.  It is asking for an older serial number?  Please help?

    Hi juneb55782770,
    I believe that you have an upgrade version of Adobe Acrobat Pro, in this case it will ask for the serial number of the previous qualifying version.
    You can find your old serial number using this link : Find your serial number quickly
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Please reply if you still experience any issue.

  • ACROBAT XL PRO SERIAL NUMBER ISSUES AFTER INSTALLATION

    Bought a new computer with Windows 8 OS.  Went to my account in Adobe and downloaded my Acrobat XL Pro.  Installation seemed to go well.  However, the first time I used the software I was prompted to enter the serial number.  I did and now I ALWAYS get the following message any time I use the software:  Serial Number is valid but not for this product.  Choose from one of the products given. The only product that somewhat matches in the drop down box is the Acrobat XL Standard.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still receive the same message every time I use it.  The software does seem to work, but seems to respond slower and I always have to click the QUIT button on the message above in order to move forward.
    Frustrated that I cannot find a support phone number to get help with this issue.

    You purchased (or were sold) an upgrade, at reduced price. During install it wants the serial of the qualifying product.
    The qualifying product is the older version of Acrobat which you must own before buying an upgrade. So just type THAT old serial number, when asked.

  • 2 issues - Invalid Serial Number issue & Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question

    Hello
    not sure if I should split these two questions...
    1 - Invalid Serial Number issue
    I'm helping out a friend with their large photo collection and they bought Lightroom 5 and received the serial number but when we add this to Lightroom it states that it's invalid - I tried leaving it until the following week (I visit them weekly) and it still refusing the number - when I went into their Adobe account and took a look at downloads the option to download the full version is greyed out (or an x - I'm not sat on their computer right now so can't double check) but it wouldn't allow me to do anything so we just had the trial version.
    anyone know what the issue is - shall I get them to contact Adobe to get them to take a look - I also had issues trying to find a customer support email address lol. (I seem to faffing with lots of websites/software/companies this week so getting a little frazzled!)
    2 - Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question
    This question is linked to the above i- I am wondering if the folders in Lightroom are different in the trial version vs the fully paid version.
    I had set up some greeting card templates and contact sheet layouts for my friend and tried to transfer them to her computer but whilst, LR 'sees' the folders it just doesn't acknowledge the templates - I tried it several ways but I've not had that issue before so will that sort itself when I get the serial number fixed?
    Thank you for any help or suggestions - hope you all have a good weekend :-)
    Lenny

    Hi Lenny, the two questions may be related but the trial is actually the same as the full version. I would suggest getting the serial number issue sorted out first. There have been known issues where a paid for product still shows up as a trial.There is not a lot the community can do. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
    2. Serial number issues or activating my product
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

  • CS4 Extended Serial Number issue

  • Trial mode and serial number issue with Creative Cloud

    Hello,
    I recently bought a CC membership but I seem to be getting the same trial mode/serial number window others have been receiving when trying to open a Creative Cloud app. I've already spoken with two Adobe techs without any resolves. I've uninstalled and reinstalled CC, I renamed an OOBE file that the tech suggested I do and looked into the Language preferences. I'm on an iMac 10.8.4.
    I'm really not technically minded but to me it seems like something continues to read my original CS6 trial I had previously. I've since uninstalled it but something remains perhaps My only thoughts at this point would be to make sure I have any recent files backed up then perhaps use Time Machine and revert back to before I installed CC then try installing again OR do the trial and hope once the 30 days are up it will read my paid account.
    I would really appriciate any feedback. I've used far too many excuses at work having missed deadlines due to this issue.
    Thank you

    Okay, I think I have it solved *fingers crossed* by following this:
    Mac:
    1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
    2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
    3. Remove the entries and save the file
    4.  try again launching any product from CS6
    Thanks
    - Nitin
    I did a backup of the hosts file and labelled it "hosts-backup" and put it on my desktop, then made another copy of the hosts file (since you can't alter the original). This time I removed ALL the Adobe entries and named the file "hosts", and saved that to the desktop. I then replaced the original hosts file with the altered saved version by dragging it into the etc folder.
    I started up Flash cc and it worked! I've since downloaded PS cc and it's opened as well. I just hope it continues to function...

    Hi Marije,
    Welcome to the Forums  
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with touchpad in your Lenovo G50 laptop.
    Serial number will be alpha numeric, as you have mentioned it shows only numeric you can make a BIOS default, restart the system and keeps tapping f9 key and select make BIOS default option.
    Can you share the snap shot of the BIOS through private message so that we can validate the issue.
    Click here to send the private message.
    Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
    Best regards,
