Serial Number Not Working After LR4 ReInstall

I wiped my desktop PC hard drive and installed Win 8.1. My PC runs fine. I downloaded and installed LR 4 with no problem. Activation is the issue.
I bought LR 1.1 and have upgraded to each version including LR 4 in the past. I used the same desktop PC to run those versions of LR (and have changed the OS with no problems). I tried to use the serial numbers from the previous versions of LR to activate LR 4, but no success. I am running the same purchased LR 4 on my laptop with no problem.
What do I do to re-activate LR 4 on my desktop PC?

Issue resolved.

  • Serial number not working after 1.5 years.

    I purchased Adobe Suite through my college. It is now saying I have completed a trial... but I have a serial number that will not work. I have had the suite for over a year without problems until now.

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.

  • 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?

  • Why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    why is  my serial number not working, it says it is invalid.  I have checked and it is correct

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

  • Serial number not work

    Hi, I have a new computer now. I had Photoshop on my old computer and I do not deactivate it. My serial number not work on my new computer and old computer is unavailable. What have I do to activate Photoshop? Thanks.

    The license is for two copies of Photoshop by one user on two different computers that can not be used at the same time.Contact Adobe customer service by phone.  Only they can help you.
    They will deactivate both copies of Photoshop.

    Elton Adobe which web browser are you utilizing?  Are you signed into http://www.adobe.com/ when you attempt to contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    I would recommend utilizing a different web browser and contacting our support team directly as suggested by KGlad in message #6.

  • Serial number not working any suggestions

         My computer died on me last January and I had to reinstall everything and after reinstalling lightroom 2 it would not accept the serial number that I had . I called adobe and after giving me several new serial numbers ( none that would work ) they finally issued me a 3.0 serial number to use after the Beta version went live .
         Well the serial number that they gave me for 3.0 doesn't work either . I am back to calling Adobe and while they are sympathetic and trying to help I am getting pretty frustrated since customer service has sent me to tech support again .
         Any way my question is anyone have a similar experience and if so what was your experience and how was it finally resolved

    Sorry, allow me to clarify.  You know when you log into your computer, you're in your user account with all of your settings?  Well user accounts can become corrupted.  If you uninstall LR, create a clean user account, and install LR while logged into that user account, it may leave behind whatever problems you're having - and if it works, it may be possible just to copy the correct files back to your normal account.  I haven't been Windows based for a few years, but I've dug up instructions for you: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial153.html

  • Lightroom5 Serial Number not working - GRRRR!

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a copy of Lightroom 5, but the serial number I received in the confirmation email to upgrade my copy of the software from a trial package to the real deal does not work. Any tips on how to get a new serial number or make this original one work??
    Thanks in advance!

  • 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.

  • Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium Serial Number Not Working

    I just wiped my macbook pro harddrive and upgraded to Lion OSX. I bought the CS5 Design Premium last year (in a case). Unfortunately, my discs are unavailable, but I do have the correct serial number. When I downloaded the CS5.5 Design premium trial (to plug in my serial number), it says it isn't valid. Is there a place that I can download the CS5 Design Premium Suite so that my serial number will work? Help! I'm a photographer and I need PS to work immediately!

    Maddiewilbur have you lost your installation media or is it just unavailable for the moment?  If you will have access to the installation media at a later time I would recommned installing the trial of Design Premium CS5.5 and then remove it and install CS5 once you have access to it.

  • Serial number not working in trial

    Hi there we received our serial number yesterday for After Effects CS4 (windows) and I have tried placing this code in the boxes provided (when the prompt appears on the trial version) but it tells me the number is incorrect. I have uninstalled the trial version from my machine and downloaded the version from my LWS area but it still comes up with the trail version and prompts.
    Can you please tell me what I need to do to rectify the problem?
    Thanks.

    Try re-installing it in your admin account.  I had the same issue this evening while re-installing the Web Premium CS4.  I forgot that Adobe wants you to install their products in your admin account.  I logged off, logged into my admin account and the installer accepted the serial numbers.

  • Serial number not accepted after reinstall

    As the the useless live chat sent me here I will ask, but I can not see how 'peer help' can assist where live chat can not. And yes, I am very annoyed with live chat.
    I have been using PSE3 for a number of years, but since reformatting my PC and reinstalling PSE3 I can not get rid of the register popup :-  http://s24.postimg.org/w4eo6jfkl/screenshot_31.png
    because if I follow the link I get  This serial number has already been registered. Products can only be registered once. Click here for more information.
    How can I stop the popup popupping?

    Well, I contacted support again, and was told I would have a telephone call from them as it needed 'real time' problem solving. Great I thought, someone will help at last.
    So at the appointed time I was at the computer, phone to one side, coffee at the other, waiting for the call.
    I waited
    and waited
    and waited
    3 hours later I send a message to Adobe saying what I thought. Eventually after almost 5 hours after the promised call, someone phoned. Details confirmed, problem explained.
    RESULT! Well, no. 'we do not support PSE3' So why the £$*& did you agree to telephone? I stated the problem in the initial contact, including the version I was using. An email saying 'sorry we do not support PSE3' would have sufficed, but no, they gave the impression that they would give support, for which I was grateful (at the time, not now)
    So what do I think of Adobe product support?
    What support? They do not understand the meaning of the work, or customer service in general.

  • Re-installing after macbook rebuild serial number not working

    My macbook had to be rebuilt due to a software problem. Lightroom 5 has been deleted. I tried re-installing lightroom (downloaded) and can use the trial version etc. However, when I tried to put my serial number in, it did not work. This is probably because it is on my desktop machine too.
    How can I contact adobe? Can they send a new serial number?
    Thank you for any help there may be out there.

    Hi snaplap,
    Lightroom serial numbers are platform interdependent.
    You can use the same serial number on the Mac as well.
    Please make sure you are using the right serial number on the right installer.
    Or drop me a private message with the serial number and I will check that for you.
    Regards,
    Rave

  • CS4 Acrobat Serial number not working on reinstall (new Mac)

    I'm using Acrobat as part of CS4. It was a gift from a fellow creative friend. The install worked back in 2009 on my previous Mac. For some reason, the serial number no longer works when I go to run Acrobat. It's been rejecting the serial number on the CS4 package for months, now.
    Help? I hardly use the software (I've a toddler) but I do need Acrobat's functionality once in a while. Thanks in advance!

    Did you actually install the whole suite or is the Acrobat running on a separate serial? Ever had any trial versions on the system?
