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

    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.

    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.

    Hi Agan:
    Yes indeed ddanielsun is encountering  the same problem that led me to initiate this thread ... If you try to install any of the available 10.9.x from 10.6.8 the installer exits with an error "10.9 required for this update" ... seems strange that 10.9 is so very hard to find ! ! !
    jeff
    Clearly you can not update 10.9 if you do not have 10.9
    It is very easy to find, it is in the App Store as the picture I posted earlier displays. Follow the same instructions. If you can't then use THIS LINK which will take you there.
    The current version of 10.9 is 10.9.5 and that is what you will get.

  • The return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    the return button on my macbook is not working, any suggestions?

    By the way, if you are still interested, I found a solution. It's a bit crazy, but basically I have insulated the parts of the keyboard connector corresponding to the power button using some thin tape and then used a very thin wire going from the logicboard (where the test pads for startup are located) to my eject key, this way the original power button does not respond anymore and the eject key can be used as the power button, just like in the new Airs
    I can provide photos if you want.

  • My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    My external speakers are not working, any suggestions?

    try different audio or USB cables.
    try the speakers with a different computer.
    go to the speaker manufacturer's website and see if there's some troubleshooting info or a new driver that you need.
    check System Preferences > Sound > Output
    see if the speakers show up in the sound output device list
    make sure the mute box is unchecked.
    Check Applications > Utilities > Audio Midi Setup
    see if your speakers are selected in the column on the left
    make sure the mute box is unchecked

  • 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!
    LM

    You need to contact Adobe Support either by chat or via phone when you have serial number and activation issues.
    Here are some links to help make contact:

  • 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, what to do?

    I purchased the CS5 Extended Software on eBay and the serial number on my box is not working.  I am at a loss because I shelled out almost $400 for it and I still have no software.  I already tried some of the Adobe troubleshooting suggestions but nothing has worked.  Is there anything I can do?  Or am I screwed?
    Thanks for any and all help.

    It sounds as if you have been scammed by purchasing illegetimate software at a too-good-to-be-true price.
    Photoshop Extended cannot be purchased legitimately for $400.
    Seek compensation through PayPal / eBay ASAP.
