Trying to reinstall CS4 and I've lost CS3 activation key

I bought CS3 years ago, upgraded to CS4. I'm trying to reinstall CS4 and it's asking for the CS3 activation key. I've lost the CS3 key. Is there any way to recover it?
Thanks

Hi houyhnhnm2,
You need to contact Customer Service ( http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html ) and they would be able to help you find the serial number if you have registered it.
Else they will help you unlock the serial key after validating.
You can even reach our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6

  • Trying to reinstall cs4 on my old G5.  doesnt recognize previous version when I select it from drop down menu and put in serial #

    I'm trying to reinstall CS4 on my G5, but when I put in the serial number it doesn't recognize it.  I installed Creative suite premium without trouble but can't get beyond that. My G5 isn't an Intel processor so cant go out and buy new software.  I have discs and sn #'s.

    Piper and me it looks like you have a full version of Photoshop CS4 registered under this account.  Have you tried downloading a fresh copy of the installation files from Download CS4 products?  If so is there any event which occurred on this Mac which is leading you to need to reinstall Photoshop CS4?

  • I had to reinstall CS4 and now have error messages when opening bridge and photoshop

    The error message is "The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\Client\4.0.1\Version Cue.DLL

    I tried what you suggested and it did not help.  whenever I try to open either photoshop or bridge, I get a message saying that there was a problem loading scripts the last time that Bridge was open and do I want to try loading them again?  If I click yes, I get that same error message that I reported in my original question and photoshop/bridge will immediately close.  If I click no, photoshop and bridge will open but it will not let me open a raw format document.  It seems like Adobe Camera Raw is not being recognized.   One of the updates I downloaded was an update to Adobe Camera Raw so the functionality is there, it just can't be accessed.  do you think I should try to uninstall and re-install Photoshop again?

  • Tried to reinstall itunes and got apple application support not found. i have a folder on my desktop of apps removed during a refresh and all my apple stuff is in that folder.

    Im running windows 8 on my desktop. i tried to reinstall itunes and when i open it i get the following message " Apple Application Support not found, Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes". I have a folder on my desktop that has files in it that says Apps removed during refresh and  there is Apple files in there. Im guessing this could be a windows issue but Im not to good with computers. Any help would be great.

    Hello agerveler,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like we may need to do a complete removal of iTunes and its components, followed by a reinstall.  Follow the instructions in the following article to resolve your issue:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat 7 for many years. I updated my full version of Acrobat 5 to get to 7. My hard drive crashed and I've been trying to reinstall Acrobat and it will not install. Adobe will not help because 7 is no longer supported. Does anyone know where I can go for help?

    You won't be able to install your original Acrobat 7 at all, or use your original serial number. The server which used to allow this was switched off.
    But assuming you have a compatible system, like Mac OS 5 or Windows XP, licensed users of Acrobat 7 can download a replacement and get a replacement serial number.

  • I installed a new hard drive and trying to reinstall FCP2 and on the install disc i get the following message - "You can't open the application FC Studio.mpkg because power PC applications are no longer supported"

    I installed a new hard drive and trying to reinstall FCP2 and on the install disc i get the following message - "You can't open the application FC Studio.mpkg because power PC applications are no longer supported"

    Because you are running lion.. FCS 6 is a Power PC app and Lion doesn't support Power PC anymore.. So you can't install it.. Three options..
    1. Revert back to Snow Leopard.
    2. Purchase FCP X... 
    if you can't stand FCP X
    3. Call apple directly, 1800-MYAPPLE and ask to purachse FCS 3 for $999... (its FCP 7)
    I just got FCS 3 today through apple phone sales..

    I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

    restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.
    tick bridge and install

  • I reinstalled Firefox and somehow I lost the tool bars all I see is the "Firefox" and a "Firefox Start Page" tab, but nowhere to type in the web addreess

    I reinstalled Firefox and somehow I lost the tool bars all I see is the "Firefox" tab and a "Firefox Start Page" tab, butdon't get the next line to enter the webaddress.
    I had gotten some other extraneous tool bars up there an deleted them.
    I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem still exists.

    Press "Alt" then View > Toolbars, and checkmark any missing toolbar.
    You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
    There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

  • I purchased Adobe Pro XI last February. I have tried to reinstall it and I keep getting the message that I have a valid serial # but no qualifying product. What is the issue?

    I purchased Adobe Pro XI last February. I have tried to reinstall it and I keep getting the message that I have a valid serial # but no qualifying product. What is the issue?

    Hey robertb86490977,
    The reason why you are getting this prompt is because you are trying to install an upgrade version.
    During the upgrade, you will need to enter serial number twice.
    The first time, you need to enter the serial number of the actual product that you have purchased.
    The second time, you need to enter serial number for the previous version that you had.
    So, please enter serial number of the previous version at the second prompt.
    Let me know if you need further assistance.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • We are trying to reinstall itunes and cannot remove old virsion

    we are trying to reinstall itunes and cannot remove old virsion

    Go here - http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/ - and try contacting support. While I still show Lion in my purchases, I can't seem to download it again as I am currently running 10.8. But I made a backup of the install app so that I have both Lion and Mountain Lion installers. If you are able to download it again, make certain that you quit the install app and make a USB flash drive installer or DVD using Lion DiskMaker (which also works with Mountain Lion).
    I'm curious as to what sort of problems you encountered when installing ML? Did you make the install? Or did it quit or something?
