Serial Number Required - Creative Cloud Subscription is Active!

I am getting very frustrated! I just paid for a Creative Cloud subscription three days ago. I have the Adobe Application Manager on my computer and it is working smoothly for several programs. However, when I try to use Photoshop, it requires me to license the product. I sign in with my Creative Cloud subscriber email, and it asks for a serial number (which, of course, I don't have).
I've seen lots of people posting about this problem, but no solution. Is Adobe addressing this? Photoshop was one of the main reasons that I got this subscription! I don't want to waste my money on a program I cannot use.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Lets try two more steps to fix the problem.
First run the Adobe Cleaner Tool.
You can download it from here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.
In the drop-down in the top right select Creative Cloud and then highlight Creative Cloud Installer.
Now click on the Cleanup selected button.
Next install the Adobe Application Manager (AAM) for Mac.
You can get it from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
Launch AAM and sign in with your Adobe ID.
This is removing the Creative Cloud applet that AAM uses and then re-installing AAM. This does not affect the install of Photoshop and Illustrator.

  • Serial number from creative cloud

    I downloaded the adobe creative cloud (free) and then downloaded the premiere pro CC and after effect CC for 30 days trial. However, when the time expired and I tried to activate it by paying that monthly payment, it told me to have a serial number. Where is the serial number for creative cloud? I downloaded it from Internet and it might had an email with the serial number, but I may deleted it. How should I request to resend the serial number to me, or how should I find it online?

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
    In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
    I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
       Windows:
       In windows 7 navigate to following location:
         /windows/system32/drivers/etc
       1. look out for "Hosts" file
       2. Open it with notepad
       3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
       4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
       On Windows XP navigate to following location:
       \windows\system32\drivers\etc
       1. look out for "Hosts" file
       2. Open it with notepad
       3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
       4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
       Mac:
       1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
       2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
       3. Remove the entries and save the file
       4.  try again launching any product from CC

  • Lightroom Serial Number in Creative Cloud

    I have been using Lightroom everyday with no problem then today it has started up as if it is loading for the first time & asking for a serial number. I am using the Creative Cloud for Photographers & I don't seem to have a serial number. can anyone help?

    There is no serial number for any Cloud apps. They are activated via your Adobe ID.
    Close PS and Lightroom.
    In the Cloud desktop app, try signing out of your Adobe account then signing back in. See if it makes any difference to Lightroom being recognized as licensed under your Adobe ID.

    Hi!
    Can we try to uninstal the Adobe Application manager and then try to reactivate the applcation using Adobe id and Password..
    Ideally Subscriptions should never require a serial number.
    First uninstall the Adobe Application manager from your computer.
    and then redownload the Adobe Application manager from the follwing links

  • Serial-Number for creative Cloud

    Hi,
    I purchased Creative Cloud some days ago, and I can´t get through to the programs without having a serial number. But I know I´m not supposed to need one.
    I asked the support team for help, and they said i should do this:
    Open a  Finder window. Choose Go > Go To Folder.
    Type  /etc hit return, find Hosts file in etc folder and copy it to Desktop
    Right click the Hosts in etc folder and click on Move to Trash.
    Open the Hosts file which is copied on the Desktop.
    Or you can look for the entry 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com and delete this text.
    But I can´t find the folders on my mac. Where do I go in my finder, to find this folder?
    I downloaded a trial version before I bought Creative Cloud. May that cause any problems?
    I have a macbook pro, prosessor 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7, version 10.8.2.

    Thank you for the reply!
    Okey, I tried to delete the one line the other guy told me to delete. And now it looks like this. should I delete all of them?
    Is there something else I should delete? Because it is still not working.
    Should I have copyed it to the desktop as the other guy wrote?

  • Midnight Creative Cloud subscription re-activation causes havoc

    I've noticed that if I'm working with any of the Creative Cloud apps on the day of the month my account checks for current up-to-date-ness, that my programs stop working right as it passes midnight.  The dynamic linking stops working.   The programs ultimately just stop until I exit out and then re-launch.  It then makes me sign back in to each program. 
    Is there any way around this?  It's really really annoying and several times I've lost work because the program didn't auto-save before deciding to stop working correctly.   This happens most frequently with Premiere. 

    Our IT guy talked with an Adobe guy for a while, and they determined that the proper ports are open, but it's still not working.  Here's another question from him:
    it looks there communication needs to translate on port 80 to make to work behind the proxy .. can you check if they can do that  or find alternate protocol that can transverse traffic on port 80 – because the web-proxies do not understand anything other than port 80 ..

  • Where do I find the Creative Cloud Subscription Serial Number?

    I'm trying to add my subscription to my products and services and need the serial number for Creative Cloud? Within my Adobe products subscriptions and services there is no Adobe Creative Cloud subscription listed? In order to register this subscription I am required to enter a serial number for it to register? I do not understand why this subscription isn't automatically added to my accounts products and I'll be damned if I can find its serial number? Good Grief lets complicate matters, RIGHT? As simple as this wshould be, does anybody know where to locate it, please?

    Get in touch with support. CCM is automatically added on your account. If it isn't, then something went wrong.

  • I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers?

    I have an active creative cloud subscription, yet I am still being asked for serial numbers. How do I proceed?

    How did you download the software? For Creative Cloud, you should download from http://creative.adobe.com (which will install through an application called AAM). If you have a trial installation, and bought Creative Cloud, that could be the cause.
    Please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4397400#4397400 for more detailed information.

  • Active creative cloud subscription but still showing trial?

    Hello,
    I currently have an active Creative Cloud subscription for Photoshop. I recently just wiped my PC (Windows 8.1 - custom build), and upon redownloading photoshop, it's asking for a serial number upon Photoshop launch when I use my log-in. I've followed all directions:
    - Changing directions to English International
    - Logging out/in
    - Etc. (from the list of usual culprits)
    ... but nothing seems to be working. Any ideas?
