Serial Numer not working??

I don't know where else to get advice soon.
I bought CS3 Wed Standard, installed it and entered the
serial number and all worked fine.... for about 3 weeks and then
yesterday I was working in DW and closed it and then a while later
tried to open it and was faced with the screen asking for the
serial number, which when I enter it says is invalid!!
I tried to uninstall but got an error message. Tried to
re-install and also got an error message - telling me to use the
original disk which I was using.
I also tried to use it in Demo mode but got another message
saying that there is a problem with Demo mode.
Please, and ideas. I have literally spent all day today
trying to get help from Adobe but don't seem to get anywhere. Each
link takes me somewhere and I end up eventually back where I
started.

Is there a possibility that you are using a Mac S/N on a PC,
or vice-versa?
How about using a Suite S/N on a standalone?

  • Lightroom 4 serial numer not working for lightroom 5

    I downloaded the triel version of lightroom 5 and entered by lightroom 4 serial number and it has a x at the end and it is not taking it. Having read some of the other forums I thought all you had to do to updgrade was install and enter the 4 serial. Pleas let me know what I need to do to resovle this issue.

    We’ve had several questions around who is eligible for an upgrade to Lightroom 5.  Any Lightroom 1, 2 3, or 4 version of Lightroom, education editions included, can utilize the upgrade version of Lightroom 5.  The prior version of Lightroom does not need to be installed on the computer, however you will need the prior version serial number at the time of installation of Lightroom 5.  If the prior version is still installed on the computer, Lightroom 5 will automatically pick up that serial number so you don’t need to go digging through boxes or your email."
    You still have to pay for the upgrade. This says that LR5 will automatically read your LR4 serial number but you still have to buy a LR 5 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.

    They will deactivate both copies of Photoshop.

    CS3 asked serial number suddenly, and the box-set serial number not work.

    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 # does not work. Chat is always unavailable.

    Hello,
    1. I bought Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Standard in 2010.
    2. I have not tried to initiate Adobe Premiere until now.

    4. I have already contacted help (from the registration screen) and received a new serial number. It also does not work. I have tried very carefully.
    5. Support chat has been unavailable repeatedly over two days.
    Any suggestions? Thank you

  • Design Standard CS 5.5 serial number not working for Photoshop

    I am trying to install the Design Standard CS 5.5 but am having trouble with Photoshop.  All of the programs installed and open correctly except for Photoshop.  When I try to launch it, the Adobe Application Manager comes up saying that the serial number is "not valid for this product."  The serial seemed to work during the install and both InDesign and Illustrator launch without any problems.  I have also tryed uninstalling and then reinstalling Photoshop, but I still have the same problem.  I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    Are you definitely installing Design Premium CS5, not a similar sounding Creative Suite? And not CS5.5?

  • Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 extended trial for Partners - Serial Number not working

    Greetings from Greece,
    We are new Adobe Certified Resellers. I was informed that via the Adobe Partner Connection portal I can install an NFR extended trial copy of Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 for demo and training purposes. So I downloaded this software (version 6.1 WIN) from the website above but the serial number provided on the same page is not working with the message "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists contact support".I am sure that I am typing the correct one (as I find it on the web page), tried several times, also tried copy-paste to be sure.
    Please advise. Thank you in advance.

    Hi Maria,
    I would request to email your concern and details at : [email protected] and they will be able to help you with this.

  • 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.

  • 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,
