Serial number wont work??

I bought a secondhand macbook of ebay and they said CS5 was installed on it. When it arrived it had CS6 installed but ony trial version.
The serial code they gave me does not work. I downloaded CS5 and tried to use the serial code on that with no success!!
Any ideas please???

As they say, you have probably been had... It's most likely simply a pirated version. Nobody gives away software that even today has an intrinsic value (since it is eligible for a CS6 upgrade) for "free" - unless it was part of the deal, of course. For anything else this would apply:

  • I purchased CS6 and had problems with the Adobe Acrobat Pro so i uninstalled and now need to reinstall but serial number wont work. How can i reinstall ONLY Adobe Acrobat Pro since its included in CS6?

    I purchased Design Standard CS6 the entire package. I downloaded and installed but I was continually having problems with Adobe Acrobat Pro. I tried updating to the newest version but it only made the problems worse (acrobat was super slow and constantly not responding). So i decided to try to uninstall and then reinstall the program. Well I uninstalled, and then attempted to reinstall ONLY the adobe acrobat pro but it says my serial number (which is for design standard) will not work. Since Acrobat Pro is included in the suite, i thought this wouldnt be a problem. Is there anyway to get around this without uninstalling the entire design standard and reinstalling everything? I only need to reinstall acrobat pro.

    You need to reinstall Acrobat the the Creative Suite, you cannot download it is a separate application and install it that way because it will be looking for a serial number relative to being a singly purchased application.

    How does this differ from your original post?

    Updates do not require serial numbers. If you are trying to upgrade from, say, Final Cut v6 to Final Cut v7, yes, that will require your previous serial.
    Pretend we are not able to see what you're doing. Explain it to us carefully.

  • CS5 Serial Number wont work for 5.5 upgrade

    I have the Master Collection CS5 and bought the Dreamweaver 5.5 upgrade. But when I try to enter my CS5 number it say it is not valid for this product. Is there some way to determine what the Dreamweaver standalone S# is? I don't see any documentation on it.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    That is just the normal behaviour that your experienceing since on the dropdown list at the time it is asking your to select the product you upgraded from you will not find master collection CS5 on the list. Upgrade from suite product to point product is actually an invalid upgrade path however you may contact customer service and see what option they can provide you.

  • Cant get my PS CS2 serial number to work

    I downloaded my ps cs2  and my serial number wont work, spoke to adobe customer service, and they provided me a link that also didn't work because they said the CS2 is outdated. please help with a solution

    All that should be required is to download a new version of CS2 - which no longer requires activation - from
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the serial number provided at that link. Your existing serial number will no longer work.

    Hello Bradley,
    sometimes the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
    But as much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
    Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html   and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html or http://helpx.adobe.com/de/contact.html and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.
    Good luck!

    I have a Serial Number which worked fine on my MacBook Pro but does not work on my desktop PC (Win 7).  What is the problem?

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hey my serial number didnt work

    Hey
    I´m using premiere Elements 12 on windows 8. I bought the CD one year ago and install them. All perfekt but after i set back my Laptop to new and i want to install it, the number didnt work.... I have the bundle with Photoshop elements 12 and the serial number there works perfekt.
    I install both softwears only 3 times befor....
    Sorry im german and my english isnt very good.. pleas excuse me ^^

    yuuwes
    Premiere Elements 12 on Window 8 64 bit.
    Have all your installs been on the same laptop? And, are you getting messages about the purchased serial number being on too many
    of your computers? Are you getting any error message at all when you have problems with the install? Are you doing the install with the antivirus
    and firewall(s) disabled?
    Please excuse the question, but I do not want to take anything for granted....have you double checked to assure that you are using the
    Premiere Elements serial number for the Premiere Elements install and not the Photoshop Elements serial number? Each should have its own serial number.
    If there is any problems with the installation disc, you can download and install another set of installation files and try to insert your purchased serial number in them during installation.
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    You can also go to the Adobe web site (http://www.adobe.com), sign in with your Adobe ID and Password, and then navigate to My Products to confirm your serial number.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • My seral number wont work

    I am trying to install elements 11 off the trial version, the seral number I have been given says it is not valid for the product. How do I fix this?

    Munchkinrules1 has this serial number ever worked?  You can check to see if it will register correctly under your account at http://www.adobe.com/.  If it does then the serial number is likely valid.  You can also contact our support team at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6 so that the serial number can be checked for validity.
