Serial number not accepted lightroom MAC but works on windows

loaded a test version of lightroom on MAC. Tried to add the serial number but number was not accepted.
Installed Lightroom on Windows PC and entered the serial number and this works fine.
Why can I not add the same number on my MACbook?

Christian the version available through the Creative Cloud Desktop application is designed for subscription customers.  Please run the uninstaller for Photoshop Lightroom located in the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder.
Once you have installed the subscription version you can download the full version from Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh.  Each update contains the full installation files so please download the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1.
If you do not have a Creative Cloud or Individual membership then I would recommend removing the Creative Cloud Desktop application.  It is designed as an installation mechanism for individuals who have an active membership.

  • Serial Number not accepted CS4

    I have a Macbook Air and tried to install CS4 Design Standard, but the downloaded installer does not accept my serial number (marked as invalid). I purchased the CS4 Design Standard (Education) in 2009. What can I do to install the CS 4 on my Mac that has no disc drive? Why is my serial number not accepted?
    Looking forward for help!
    Thanks.

    contact adobe support if you're certain you're using the same serial number that worked previously, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    otherwise, make sure you're using the correct serial number, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

  • Serial number not accepted by apple

    After upgrading my Mac mini(Late2012) to Yosemite 10.10.1 the contacts app crashes every time it syncs with the cloud.
    Ok, try to get help from Apple. But, every time I put the serial number into the Webform I get the answer: Serialnumber not
    accepted.
    - No, its not a typo ( copy & paste )
    - No, I didn't mess up with 0(Zero) and O(Character)
    - I double checked the serial number from the operating system with the number on the box. They are equal.
    Is there a mail address around I can contact?
    Or a phone number?
    I do not want to put my serial number into a public forum, but it starts with C07, 9 characters following.
    Thanks in advance

  • Adobe Elements 7: serial number not accepted

    I have Adobe Elements 7 on my dying Desktop. I would like to just simply transfer my licence to my laptop. I do have the serial number for my desktop version, but it will not let me use the same number on my laptop even though when I contacted support they said it would work, then later changed their story to say that Elements 7 doesn't work on the newer operating systems. Is there a way I can do this? I'm not trying to shell out $70 for Elements 13. I own the Elements 7 product and it works fine for me.

    No that's not the probelm. Elements 7 works fine on my laptop, in fact I have it up now running. My problem is the fact I don't have a serial number for it. Support said the serial number on my desktop version would work, but it does not.

  • CS2 Premium serial number not accepted at use on Win 7 system

    I have at several years old version of the Creative Suite 2 Premium. It has been licensed on a Win XP system previously, but now I try to install it on my new Win 7 computer.
    But the "Personalize your software" - window will not accept the serial number that I can read on the product casette from the label named "SERIAL NUMBER CREATIVE SUITE PREM".
    Am pretty sure that it is entered correctly, and in fact the same serial number is accepted during installatin.
    Please advise....
    Ole C P

    Hi Jeff,
    The request for the serial number comes when I start up InDesign, I have not tried the other programs.
    I enclose a screendump of the Serial number request and while I am at it a foto of the product case as well:

  • Cs3 serial number not accepted when installing cs6 as upgrade

    I downloaded photoshop cs6 after paying for it as an upgrade from photoshop cs3. During the installation it asked me for the serial number for cs4 or cs5 but not cs3. It would not accept the serial number of my cs3. A look at other forums suggests the only way round this is to hack in as if I was doing an illegal download. When I installed on this computer, the help Desk took over my computer and had a lot of trouble overriding the problem. I now have a new computer and am having the same problem in trasferring cs6 to the new computer. Unfortunately I have deactivated cs6 on this computer and at present cannot use it at all.

    Contact Support team to sort this out.

  • Upgrade product CS5 from CS3 to run on Mac -serial number not accepted

  • Serial number not accepted after purchasing LightRoom 5

    I downloaded the 30 day trial of LightRoom, LightRoom Mobile and Creative Cloud, then decided to buy outright LightRoom 5 from Amazon (not wanting a monthly subscription to services I didn't need).
    I got a serial number from Amazon, downloaded and installed my purchase and tried to enter the serial number. I got a screen message saying the serial number is invalid.
    How can I fix this and activate what I have paid for?
    BTW, why do I have to query a forum instead of getting advice from Adobe, who presumably have my money?

    You probably need to contact Amazon unless they explicitly state that you need to contact Adobe.  As far as I can see Amazon sold you the software, not Adobe... Amazon has your money.  I am not sure how it works if you downloaded, but for the hardcopy it states that it "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."
    Did someone require you to query this forum or did you get directed here thru the following page:   Contact Customer Care
    If you came thru that page, if you make the proper selections you should get an option to contact Adobe Support by chat and/or phone, though they are not a 24/7 operation like the forums can be.

  • Serial number not accepted after trying reinstall cs5design premium on mac . Mavericks

    CAn any one help me? Ik got the serialnumbers from adobe, whymis it not accepted. Is it because I have mavericks on the mac?

    if you purchased a mac serial number, and not windows, your serial number will be valid with the matching mac installation file regardless of which mac os you use.  some mac os may not be compatible but that's not a serial number issue.
    if that doesn't explain the issue because you did purchase cs5 design prem for mac, what error message are you seeing after entering your serial number?

  • Audition CS 5.5 says "serial number not valid" when starting, but all other products work?!

    Hi,
    I use CS 5.5 Production Premium for quite some time now.
    Today I tried to start Audition for the first time.
    It gives me a choice to continue to use as a trial or provide the serial number.
    When I enter my regular CS 5.5 s/n, it says "the serial number is not valid for this product".
    All other products work.
    What do I have to do to make Audition start?
    Thanks,
    Patrick

  • Serial number not accepted when installing

    I received photoshop elements 10 as a present. I wanted to wait until we had our new computer to install (Mac OS) but now the disc seems out of date and I can't install it. I tried downloading the updated version online, but it won't accept my serial number

    You need to install the version that the serial number is assigned to.  There shouldn't be any reason for the disc to fail, but you can try downloading version 10 and see if that works...
