Serial Number Not Valid 2nd Install CS5.5

I'm trying to download CS5.5 Design Standard Student and Teacher on my Windows 8.1 machine and receive a "Serial Number Not Valid" notification. I have already downloaded the product on my Macbook Pro a few years ago, but was under the impression I was allowed to download it on 2 computers. Anything I can do???

the serial number for a mac installation is not the same as for a windows installation.  and, in fact, cs5.5 is not a dual  platform product so you cannot install it on a windows machine unless you have a windows license/serial number.
you could upgrade to creative cloud.  the subscription apps (cs6, cc and cc 2014) are all dual platform.

  • 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...

  • Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

    J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

    Bonjour.
    J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
    n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
    Que faut-il faire

  • Installer tells me serial number not valid photoshop elements 13

    i'm trying to install photoshop elements 13 multiple languages mac that i downloaded tonight online. i purchased photoshop elements 13 and premiere elements 13 as a package a few days ago on line but it appears that what I purchased was for windows and not for mac. I have a serial number for each (photoshop elements 13 and premiere elements 13). The installer is not accepting the serial number as valid for some reason. I'm guessing that the problem was caused by the fact that what I bought was english windows and what i downloaded as mac -- which is what i need. help me please!

    Hi there
    Where did you get the number from?  Do you have a serial number, redemption code or product code?
    Please try the following doc to see if this helps: Find your serial number quickly

  • 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 #".

  • URGENT!!!! get the same message "serial number not valid for this product" and I am RE installing on the same computer that crashed last week...

URGENT as I am at the apple store trying to get help from apple people, and they DON'T want me to install a new version of Yosemite as it will make computer slower...

  • Installing pse 7 serial number not valid

    I was having issues with a pse 7. I uninstalled then downloaded a fresh copy from Adobe. I entered my serial number and it returned 'not a valid serial number'. But it is valid.

    Thanks pwillener. I did that before. It took me to my account and there I found the serial number that exactly matches the one I found on my computer but again, PSE 7 says it is not valid. I even turned my firewall off during installation in case that was the problem.

  • Install acrobat 9.0 serial number not valid?

    I upgraded my PC and want to move my Acrobat 9.0 standard over from my old PC. I downloaded the installation file for 9.0 std from the website and ran it. It asks for my serial number. I input my serial number as shown on my account for my registered software but it tells me it is invalid and won't let me install. I chatted with support and they validated that my serial number is for 9.0 std. Why won't it show as valid when I try to install it on my new PC?

    Hi andym,
    Did you install Acrobat 9 as part of Creative Suite 4? If so, please see Error "Invalid serial number" | Acrobat 9 | CS4.
    Please let us know if that document hits the mark.
    Best,

  • FCP update - serial number not valid

    Hi all, I recently bought final cut studio 2.0 from someone second hand.
    I am trying to download the update but when it asks for my serial number, it says it is not valid. I've tried several times and double checked the information entered.
    Is there any way around it? Or is it because it is a second hand copy?

    If you had FCS already installed prior to the update, and it was working, and after the update you were required to reenter the serial, then it definitely sounds like you have a pirated serial. I can't remember which update, but a couple months ago Apple released an update that invalidated any serial it knew was floating around the net. If you have a valid serial (not on the list of pirated keys), you would not have seen the enter license window.
    When you bought FCS, you should have been given EVERYTHING that normally comes in the package: Shipping Box, manuals, install DVDs with the serial number on the front of the "Installing Your Software" manual/insert. There will be no document for you to copy and paste from.
    If you have one of the serials that was released to the wild, contact Apple and tell them what happened. If you fax them the cover of the install manual, proving you have a legit copy, they will give you a new, valid number.
    Buying 2nd hand from e-Bay or such, has been know to result in exactly this kind of problem.
    In the mean time, you will have to downgrade the version of your install (preferably by reinstalling from the DVDs), but first deleting ANY and ALL FCS folders and files.
    My condolences..
    Good Luck

  • Serial Number Not Valid

    After installing new hard drive, I tried to reinstall acrobat standard version7.  During activation I was redirected due to technology issues, whateve that means. I downloaded from web site and could not activate because serial number (from cd case) was not valid.  In my adobe, I re-activated sometime ago with a different serial number and that didin't work either.  Tried chat support but they kept directing me to a page to purchase an upgrade.  V.7 worked fine, I just need to activate it.  Do I really have to purchase an upgrade???

    if you have windows os, you can download and use the acrobat 7 standard here:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l
    use the serial number posted on the page where you download acrobat.

  • European serial number not valid in the USA

    Hello everybody!
    I had a licence for LR5 in Europe since february 2014, used it on my PC and now moved to the USA, buying a new PC.
    When a want to install LR5 on it, I have an error telling that the serial number is not valid.
    I contacted the direct service (by night here :p) and they gave me a procedure that could resolve my problem... BUT one link is always not found.
    Here is the procedure :
    Sebastien: 1) Go to this adress but dont download anything :
    Sebastien: http://adobe.ly/SayOKG
    Sebastien: 2) Kepp this window open a open a new one.
    Sebastien: 3) In this new one, go to :
    Sebastien: http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11..7z
    Sebastien: 4) A download start automatically, save it.
    .... (then many other steps)....
    The link   "http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11..7z" shows me always "file not found" it?
    Any idea to solve it?y many thanks in advance! I fear i should by a new serial number whose could not work too .....B
    B.brichart

    I am going to guess that the link should end in .exe (one-dot-exe) rather than ..7z (two-dots-seven-z)—the two-dots are wrong for sure and there is an EXE not a 7z at that URL:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5/win32/Lightroom_5_LS11.exe
    Once downloaded you can use the 7-ZIP application to extract the files from the EXE.
    It is possible that the tech meant the following .7z URL which is for LR 5.5 and the Creative Cloud version not the serial-number-licensed version, but since you’re dealing with a serial-number-licensed version, hopefully not, it is the one URL that has a .7z on it:
    http://trials2.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/LTRM/5_5/win32/Lightroom_5_CCM_LS11.7z
