Trying to install Adobe CS 5.5

I searched the forum for an answer but didn't have any luck.  Perhaps I'll get find an answer here.
Bought Adobe CS 5.5 Master Collection (full) from a friend who said it was number 5 of 5 of his multi license product.  Disks (3) are NOT copies and are in original case.
Loaded disk #1, entered SN from back of dvd case, entered my Adobe.com username and password, install worked fine. The first time I opened an app it said 30 days remaining.  All programs worked fine up until a few weeks ago.  Now I am prompted with "Trial period expired" even though it was not installed as a "Trial". 
Uninstalled, used the "cleaner" program from Adobe.  Re-installed with same results.
Did an online chat with Adobe customer support and was told my SN was invalid. How can it be invalid when it was accepted on installation?
Anyone got ideas?
Thank you,
Dennis in Michigan

Umm, let's make it short:
Bought Adobe CS 5.5 Master Collection (full) from a friend who said it was number 5 of 5 of his multi license product.
You are not owning a legal license. It's part of a volume license/ site license and not supposed to be sold separately. That aside, any transfer of any software requires a proper license transfer, but with that kind of licenses it's not possible. And it never serialized in the first place. As to why it is doing this, is another matter, but my working theory is that the serials cannot be vlaidated because - tada - they belong to the Adobe ID of your friend. So in the interest of galactic peace and your friendship, give him back his software and in return take back your money.

    Running Mavericks on an iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, I've been trying to install Adobe CS3 Design Premium. All components install except InDesign. Is this an installation disk problem, or is there a compatibility problem with the OS?

    I fear that you are trying to download OLDER Software on a newer Operating Sysytem Meaning that you need to Install the Latest Version of Adobe on the Newer Operating System for it to work Properly. Be sure to always check the minimum System Requirements.

  • Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 on MAC 10.6.8

    Trying to install Adobe Photoshop elements 8 (that I bought a while ago and never installed) on my MacBook Pro, Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.6.8.
    When I insert the PS Elements Disk, a PSE page came up with Read me etc which I read.  I clicked on the blue PSE folder and a window with Bootstrapper.dmg came up. I clicked on that and a window opened asking me to type in my administrator passsword to allow Setp to make changes, which I did, twice... and then nothing happened...
    Is there something else I am suppose to do? OH, another mounted drive appeared in Finder with a long name... "EFBB...........". When I opened it, it had an assets folder  and two .js files (whatever they are)...
    What more do I have to do?

    I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.

  • Error 2330 when trying to install adobe reader 9.1

    Trying to install adobe reader 9.1 on an hp laptop (pavilion dv6936us entertainment notebook pc...to be exact).  It has windows vista home premium 64-bit os.  when i try to install i get error message that says "Error 2330 Error getting file attributes:  c:\Program file (x86)\Adobe\Reader9.0\Reader. Get last error: 1392.  Please help.

    Did you look "manually" for remnants of an old Reader installation ? (you could eventually try searching the drive for files and folders named Adobe )
    Some suggests , as the previous thread contributor , that this is an issue with respect to remnants of an old installation :

    Other suggests it could be a corrupted file issue :
    and suggests :
    At a command prompt (run as administrator), do:
    C:\>chkdsk c: /f /v
    and then reboot the machine. A chkdsk of the system drive can only run while
    the system is booting.

  • Error trying to Install Adobe Air on Windows 7

    Trying to install Adobe Air on Windows 7.  Error:  Application descriptor could not be found for this application (301).

    AIR isn't an application, but a runtime that other applications use.  It's similar to Java.  You don't run it directly, it's just something other applications need to have present so they can run.  You won't see any reference to it in your Start menu, though it will appear in your Uninstall control panel.  The applications that use AIR (like Tweetdeck, BBC iPlayer, etc) will have links in your program list.

    Copying the program over to a new machine will not work.   Install it using installation files and activate it using the serial number assigned to the license.

  • I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended trying to install Adobe Presenter

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended trying to install Adobe Presenter can someone tell me where the serial # is located as there is none on the box although there is one for Acrobat.. thanks

    Hi there. I'm having the same issue, and it appears a few others in the forums are as well.  The jist of it all seems to be that when you try to install presenter from acrobat extended, a message pops up saying that powerpoint is not installed. So like me you go to Adobe support, see that there is a download for MS office 2010 powerpoint, and download it. This is the kicker though, it seems that this is a stand alone version you have just downloaded requiring its own unique seriel number, (one you have to buy) and will not activate in combination with Acrobat Pro extended in any way shape or form.
    I have uninstalled, reinstalled, attempted to patch, but it will not allow me to, as presenter is not installed! Then I have tried to look at the presenter file within adobe folders, but alas its not there as I can't install it, I can't fiddlle or patch it in any way shape or form. This appears to be other peoples problem as well. Argghhhhhh!
    I'm not sure of the work around for this is, hopefully they will sort it out soon, this programme is not cheap!!!!
    Unfortunatly for me tech support is now closed until next week, but in your time zone it may be different.
    I hope this gives you some background to the why you are having the problem, although not solving it for you.
    Regards,
    Keiran.
