Thank you Jake Kobo

  • Urgent-logic serial number won't work on new MacBook Pro

    Just purchased a new MacBook Pro & did Migration Assistant. Logic now asks for my serial number, I punch it in and get a Invalid Serial Number dialog box. Whats up with this, my Logic Studio package is 2 years old and correct. Help!

    HI, I had logic pro support on the telepone, and he said I had reversed the last two letters,I am not normally dyslecsic but he saved me because he was using shared screen,a fine thing at times like that.
    This is almost a year ago, I hope you got it working!

    Just received a new copy (at great expense) of Adobe Creative Suite and it won't install because the legitimate serial number won't work.

  • Serial number won't work.  What do I do?

    Purchased Adobe Acrobat X Standard online in 2012.  Downloaded again to computer today.  The serial number won't work.  What do I do?

    Is it by any chance asking for a QUALIFYING serial now?

  • Serial number won't work

    trying to install lightroom 4 on my laptop. The serial number won't work, doesn't even seem like the right number of digits.

    A Lightroom serial number should consist of 6 groups of 4 digits with no letters, for a total of 24 digits and the first four digits are 1160.   Or at least this is the pattern I see for my LR purchases over the years, where they are are individual licneses, not Educational or Team or Enterprise. 
    How and where did you buy LR?  If it was a box in a store, perhaps what you’re seeing is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website:

  • Just purchased an iWork 08 Serial Number won't work

    I ordered an iWork 08 Serial Number Family Pak. Why because I still use OSX.4.11. (an not use iWork09 as my machines are PowerPC. However in trying to enter serial number will not work.
    in clicking order details the sent me a serial number for 09. and reading previous information serial numbers are not universal. So I've just wasted $100.00 buying a serial number I can use. trying all the support channels I can find, there appears to be no channel to cover this. If you have a mechanism set up to buy software it should ask and receive information on the version software you are purchasing. Now I am SOL. and wasted a 100 bucks.

    I bought the package for iPhoto and such several months ago to reinstall iPhoto on a Computer that crashed. Bought on Amazon.
    Ah, that would explain the price, especially if you bought it before iWork 09 was released.
    It was a Legit Apple copy, never opened and was able to install with no problem and register with Apple.
    Wasn't questioning legality, just wondering why you paid $100 for it? Explained above though.
    It came with iWork so I installed tried out. Then I decided to buy the Serial number I though the software was smart enough to detect which software I was trying to purchase.
    Hmm, I wonder if the trial version is preventing the serial number from working. Microsoft's Office trial does the same thing. Unless you completely remove all traces of Office from the hard drive, both retail and the trial if you've used it, the retail version won't activate.
    I purchased the I package that had iPhoto 08 on it from Amazon. It was unopened shrink Warped and I was able to register with Apple. I need the O8 versions because They still support PowerPC, 09 series are Intel only. That disk also had iWork 08 on it I installed and Then I purchased the Serial Number. I've tried to locate on Apple's website where to write to excange serial Numbers. But can't find it.
    Can't say I've ever heard of exchanging serial numbers. The one you have should work. Have you tried calling Customer Service at Apple?

  • Changed from Mac to Windows, serial number won't work.

    I have been using CS4 on my Mac for a couple of years but just got a new Toshiba laptop and using Windows now. I have downloaded CS4 but serial number is not working, I assume because the serial number is for mac. Is this right? Can I get a new serial number for windows without having to buy one? Any help would be great thanks

    As you suspect, serial numbers for Creative Suites are platform specific.  Unfortunately, platform swaps are only supported for the most recent versions, which is now CS6.  Adobe does not sell older versions of their software so you would not be able to buy a Windows version from them anyways.  CS4 is not in the upgrade path for CS6, so you would not be able to purchase an upgrade version either.
    So your options would be to either purchase a full version of CS6, subscribe to the Creative Cloud, or find a third party vendor for CS4 and take your chances purchasing from them.

  • Serial number does not work on second computer

    I've added a second in-design to my second laptop but the serial number does not work. What do I do?

    Please confirm if the Indesign that you have is a perpetual license or a part of CC.
    If it is a part of CC then serial number is not required. Then you can follow http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ccm-prompt-serial-number.html
    If it is a perpetual license then let us know the exact error that you are recurring.

  • My (valid) Serial Number won't work on a new computer

    I'm entering my serial number to authorise CS6 Design & Web Premium on my new Macbook Pro.
    I get an error message "Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer", and it is asking me to choose a qualifying CS5 product!
    I've checked on my Adobe account that I'm using a valid CS6 serial number!
    What am I doing wrong?

    The message you reference indicates you are installing an upgrade version.  It is not able to find the older qualifying version that you upgraded from.  It is likely providing a selection list and input field where you can identify the older version and input its serial number as proof that you qualify to use the upgrade.

  • How do I re-install Elements 10 from an old computer to a new computer? I already deleted it off the old computer and didn't deactivate it. Now my serial number won't work.

    Hello! I have Photoshop Elements 10 on a PC. Deleted it from the PC and didn't deactivate it. Now I'm trying to install on my MAC. Saying serial number is in-valid. Help! Thanks!

    Well, first of all is this a boxed version? If it's a download your serial number is invalid because downloads are single platform while boxed serial numbers work on both.
    If that's not it, you will need to contact activation support:
    Activation & Deactivation Help
    Scroll down to "still need help" and you can start a chat session to get it straightened out.

  • Serial number won't work on the lightroom i am trying to install on my new computer - moving over from an old comp. Thoughts?

    Hello
    I have got a new mac and have downloaded lightroom - entered my serial number (lightroom on old mac) - and it's not being accepted. Thoughts?

    I am beginning to think that this is the issue - i have downloaded the CC version - why are they not the same serial number. ALSO Adobe is really hard to navigate - i can't even find the stand alone version to download.
    The CC version doesn't use a serial number. Is activated with your Adobe ID and password. And it's all tied to your account being paid current. Other than that, the programs are the same. You have been provided the link to the standalone installation in the comment above this one.

  • Serial number won't work for lightroom 5, how do I get a correct activation

    I've used it before, but my harddrive died, and have to reinstall everything, and my serial number from my receipt will not work.  HELP!!

    I've done that as well.  It still won't work.  I guess I'll uninstall (I installed the trial, have done this before without any problem and than added the serial number (on the second hard drive in two months)).  Would the program think this was a new computer and not install it, because it was installed on a computer before?  I don't know I'm just trying to think of anything to do.
