Unable to validate my serial number for purchased version of premiere elements will not connect to internet even though my connection is ok

i have purchased an official copy of premier elements 13. i have my serial number etc but when i go validate my sign in throgh my internet connection nothing happens. its a nightmare !! I cannot even find out how to generate a rerquest code for offline valiodation. clicking on "generate response code " does nothing. I have jjust spent £79 on this product. will someone please help. ther is nothing wrong with my internet connection.

Hi, A.T.R
Thank you so much for your common sense reply. I contacted Adobe via their online chat help facility. One of their tech guys resolved the issue by re-setting the Hosts file. Now I have seen this in the forums and it basically involves making a back-up copy of the Hosts file deleting certain entries and applying again.. Thankfully this worked for me. But I would urge Adobe to look into this matter as there are many novices I am sure will be extremely frustrated at what should be a straight forward approach when validating their software. Most people would know there internet was working ok and most people would be able to disable anti-virus software etc, but to continue getting a failure to validate a serial number online would in my opinion beggar belief !! for most technically minded folks out there. Most annoying.
When anyone purchases legacy software from Adobe, no one wants this kind of problem. The software is not cheap.
My purchase was Adobe Premiere Elements 13 and it is a great piece of software for video editing. I can however recommend it. It is very good for both novice and professionals
Thank you.

    If you want to buy the product Lightroom 6.0 from the Adobe Website, then please visit here-
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/software._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software _sl_mostpopular.html
    And scroll down to the bottom and spot the Lightroom 6.0 to buy the standalone application.
    You can buy the application as an upgrade or full product (second red box in the screen shot shows the previous version of the software you own and needed to be selected if you are buying the upgrade Lightroom 6.0 ) in case you have the previous version ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ) serial number registered or noted somewhere.
    Here is the screenshot which might help you in buying the product correctly,
    You can visualize the first red box where you need to select on the drop down to make the purchase as an upgrade product or the full version of the application.
    If you have the qualifying product ( Lightroom 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 ), then it would cost you just $79 else $149 in case of full installer.
    Try, it might help you get over the plight of buying the product.
    Thank you so much.

  • We are unable to validate this serial number for CS6 Design Standart. What's wrong with my key or why won't it validate?

    I bought the CS6 Design Standard student and teacher edition over amazon. I activated the product on my adobe account and got a serial number. But when I install the package and enter the serial number I a message saying "We are unable to validate this serial number for Creative Suit 6 Design Standard. Please contact Customer Support."
    Does anyone know what is up with this? I am sure that the problem isn't anything along the lines of making mistakes when typing in the serial (tried it multiple times, used copy paste to reduce chance of error). It's also not any problem with me lacking an internet connection adobe to validate the serial.

    Serial number questions can't be handled on the forums. You'll need to talk to Customer Support either by phone or web chat.

  • "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Family."

    I have bought and obtained a license serial number for Premiere CS6.
    I have downloaded the files for Premiere CS6
    PremierePro_6_LS7.exe                    PremierePro_6_LS7.7z
    PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.exe     PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.7z
    I have run PremierePro_6_LS7.exe and, having specified load with serial number, reached the point of entering the serial number.
    "We are unable to validate this serial number for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Family."
    I have checked my account and the license is on file.
    The serial number is 24 digits in 6 groups of  4 characters.
    Please provide an answer to this.
    I've been using Adobe Premiere since 2006 and currently have CS5.5.
    This is the first time I have had problems trying to download and set up a version.
    It has taken most of the day so far!

    No problems with CS5.5
    I have not tried removing it (not until I have CS6 sorted)
    Windows 7 Pro (64 bit)
    I have installed CS6 in trial mode and entered the license number.
    The Serial number appears to have been accepted.since Encode now starts up without a license message.

  • How much to purchase serial number for trial version of Premier Elements 11?

    A trial versin of Adobe Premeir Elements 11 came with my Photoshop Elements 11.  How much for a serial number, and what page can I go to get one?

    javair
    Good question. Here is my take on this.
    Adobe is not selling Premiere Elements 11 anymore. It is now selling its current version Premiere Elements 12. And, its free tryout download from Adobe is for Premiere Elements 12. And, no problem purchasing a serial number for version 12 from them.
    There should be no problem in trying out the Premiere Elements 11 as per the installation disc that came with the Photoshop Elements 11 purchase. But, when it comes to purchase of Premiere Elements 11, the only scenario that I am seeing is
    Find an authorized reseller who still has Premiere Elements 11 stock. Purchase that product. And, then you have 2 choices
    a. insert the serial number that comes with the purchased Premiere Elements 11 into the tryout already installed on your computer
    or
    b. uninstall the tryout, install your purchased Premiere Elements 11 with the serial number that comes with it.
    A typical place that might have a Premiere Elements 11 in stock is Amazon. Have you looked there?
    You could contact Adobe for input on the matter, but I suspect that you will get steered to purchasing Photoshop Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12.

  • "We are unable to validate this serial number". I purchased this product when a serial number on the back of the box.

    I have a Mac. I purchased a adobe photoshop elements 12 program in a Sam's Club Store. When I tried to install it the program said We are unable to validate this serial number for adobe photoshop elements 12. Please I need your help as soon as possible to resolve this issue and then, use my purchased product.

    then you are using the wrong number or there's a connection issue.  your serial number is 6 groups of 4 numbers.
