Serial number not supplied on purchased copy of Elements 12

I purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 from misystems.com.au. The package arrived on 17 December 2013 but there was no serial number included with the package.
I have contacted the seller and was advised by him to contact the shipping company for the s/n. I did this and have been advised by them that they don't have any s/n's at their site.
On a previous forum, Tbanger9 had the same problem with the same seller and a different distributor.
Can anything be done to get the serial number for this product.

Deactivate is for PSE11 and earlier. In PSE12 you use the Help> Sign Out menu. There should be nothing to stop you downloading the software as many times as you want, maybe it is a problem with the servers. Instead of downloading from your 'My Adobe A/c' download the trial instead - it is identical.

PSE12 allows you to install on as many computers as you have - even dozens or hundreds. but only two can ever be signed in and activated at any one time.

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.

I want to setup Lightroom on my new laptop. I have my latest serial number but it is the upgrade serial number for LR5. I do not have the original serial number from my purchase of LR3. How can I recover the serial number from my original purchase of ?

I want to setup LR on my new laptop. I have the serial number from my latest purchase but not the original purchase of LR3. How can I recover the serial number from my original LR purchase?

If you did register it back then, open your Adobe account with your Adobe ID and you will find it there: Find your serial number quickly
If you still have it installed, open the System info in Help menu or look here:

Purchasing additional download bundle, serial number not working

I got an email last Wednesday that said I was out of downloads. I followed the link, purchased some more and received an email from Adobe with a serial number. When I put the serial number in it says that "serial number not valid".
I've gone through 20 layers of customer support at Adobe and nothing has been resolved. I tried the serial number agian this morning and still got the serial number is not valid.
I need to get to the right person at Adobe.
Thank you,
Maryanne

Hi Maryanne,
This is now resolved. The bundle has been added to your account and you should have received an e-mail notification confirming this.

My Lightroom 5 upgrade serial number not showing up on My Products page; chat support useless

I purchased a Lightroom 5 upgrade license on July 25th. I didn't receive a confirmation email but my serial number was displayed on the order summary page after purchase. I tried registering the serial number repeatedly through the My Products page but for some reason the serial number wasn't showing up, even though the registration process reported a successful result. Furthermore, Adobe products bought from the Adobe store should automatically be registered according to Adobe's web site. Apparently this must have failed. I need to reinstall Lightroom 5 but the serial number is still not showing up on the My Products page. I just spent an extremely frustrating hour with Adobe "Live" chat who did nothing but send me in circles and repeat the same canned responses over and over again.
I'm currently on hold with "phone support" but I'm not optimistic as I've been on hold for 28 minutes. The only other support option was a link to this forum, hence this post. Hopefully someone from Adobe can retrieve my serial number and contact me. Failing this my only other option will be to contact VISA and open a claim.
My comical-if-it-weren't-so-sad conversation with Adobe support:
Hi, there are 36 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
Hi, there are 35 customer(s) in line ahead of you. We'll be with you as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

Naveen R: Hi Joel.
Naveen R: I understand that you are unable to locate the serial number.
Joel: I purchased Lightroom 5 on July 25, 2013 as an upgrade for Lightroom 4. I need to reinstall Lightroom 5, but my serial number is not showing up in the products & services page.
Joel: I looked through my email receipts and couldn't find an order confirmation (or anything from Adobe related to my recent purchase.) After purchasing the upgrade, the serial number was displayed and I thought I had registered it using the Adobe account portal
Joel: Apparently, this didn't work. I have my VISA transaction information if required.
Naveen R: Thank you for the information.
Naveen R: I will be glad to check and help you with that.
Joel: Thanks

Naveen R: I'm sorry due to application error I'm unable to check on that.
Joel: Can I please get a phone number to call? My only other choice would be to open a claim with VISA for fraud since Adobe seems unwilling to help in this matter
Naveen R: I will provide the steps to locate the serial number on your Adobe account.
Joel: I already know how to look for a serial number. The problem is that it doesn't show up in the Adobe account portal.
Naveen R: Please login under a different browser.

Joel: Same problem
Joel: Please provide me with a number to call
Naveen R: *Once you login to the Adobe account, click on "My products" under the "My products and services".

Thank you for contacting Adobe.

OK, I was able to recover my previous system's image and thankfully it appears you can get the serial number from Help->System Info. I attempted to register the serial number again via the My Products page and while it indicated that the registration was successful, we'll see. At least I should be able to install LR5 on my new machine now.
Edit: I also just discovered that the serial number is listed under My Orders, but not under My Products. Weird. In my defence , I never thought to check My Order history because I never received a confirmation email and the order wasn't listed after purchase...even as late as mid-August (when I last checked.) Very strange but it's all good now.
Edit #2: OK now I just feel silly. I just received an email from Naveen with an actual support case AND the correct serial number. So, I stand corrected. The Live Chat process still felt incredibly long with some seemingly canned/automated responses but, in all fairness, he did get back to me. Thank goodness I washed both feet today...

I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

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

Logic 9 Serial Number Not Valid

I recently backed up my computer and did a complete OS reinstall (starting from stratch and not using the old image due to old corruption files). I then decided to manualy copy over Logic Pro 9 files from the backup drive to the new image. I went to open Logic and it asked for my serial number. I typed it in and then it decided to crash on me. Well no big deal, I probably didn't copy all the files. So I deleted as many files as I could find and then proceded to reinstalling Logic 9 from my Logic Studio disc set. Entered name and the serial key during the beggining of the install and it says "Serial Number Not Valid" and asked me to type it again and gives me the same message. After 3 failed attempts, it closes the installation program. I have tripple checked my spelling in the key and have checked forums regarding this problem. I have already attempted to move the ID files in Library/Application Support/ProApps to the desktop; no change. Any input would be nice. Thank you.
I am running Mavericks 10.9.1 on a MacBook pro 2012.

Was your copy of Logic Studio 2.0 (the one containing LP9) a full version or an upgrade version?
If it was an upgrade version you need to enter your original LP8 serial first.... and then it will ask for your LP9 upgrade serial...
If it was the full version, contact Apple directly and ask for their assistance.
http://www.apple.com/contact/
or use the online webpage to obtain a replacement serial number...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1861?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Note: Once you have successfully installed LP9.. you must upgrade LP9 to the latest version 9.1.8 before you run it, via software updates... as you are running Mavericks...

HT1349 APPLE CARE SERIAL NUMBER NOT VALID

Alright so I know this is elsewhere in the forum but I recently purchased AppleCare for my iPhone 4 (I live in Canada) and I went to register the product and it's telling me the serial number is not valid.
I tried calling Apple but I keep getting in this enraging speak your problem loop that doesn't seem to pick up "AppleCare" as an item that I'm having issues with. What am I supposed to be saying to the prompter to get me to a service representative. It wants the serial number for my iPhone. That's not the issue, it's my APPLECARE that has the wrong serial number.
I have zero patience for teleprompts so I'd like someone to walk me through how to get to a REAL human being.
I just want to register my product that I paid 90 bucks for. And have it actually work. I'm not asking much
Any help would very much be appreciated!!!!

Thanks, I ended up using the "EXPRESS LANE", which I definitely recommend to anyone that dislikes speaking to a computer as much as I do.
https://expresslane.apple.com/
Also, to anyone else that may be having this issue: The serial number you're inputting is for your PHONE, not the one on the applecare box.
If any apple people are reading this, the form should read "DEVICE serial number", not everyone knows what hardware means (though in hindsight that makes sense but why not call it what it is and save potential client frustration, and save yourself a phone call). Or even make a drop-down list to select the device you're registering would be helpful. Then have the registration applet show "AppleCare Registration #" and "[device name: e.g. iPhone] serial #".

I have input the serial number of my new purchase of ipod photo (second hand) on the support page two weeks ago and it detected that it still have 120 days left for the service plan. But I have just tried to do it again today and it says that there is no such number.
I live in Canada and I cannot use the page for adding a serial number on the website. What should I do? Does anyone know why is this happenening? I've got this second hand, I hope it's not because this product was stolen or anything!!
