Update from 4.0 to 4.1, now asking for Serial Number again????

Am I going to have to go find the registration card every single time I accept a Final Cut Express update from Apple? This has never happened in any other software from Apple until now.
Please help me understand why this is happening???

I just did the normal Software Update (the blinking icon on the toolbar). I updated at least five or six items (such as iTunes and iPhoto), and none but Final Cut Express 4 is asking me for my old serial number. (digging through old manuals, etc.)

  • Aperture now asks for serial number after last update but app store doesn't provide one. What to do?

    After my latest update Aperture now asks for a serial number.
    This is a little strange as when you buy it from the app store you don't get one.
    Well not one you can see.
    So now can't use it. 
    What am I supposed to do?

    Thanks for your Help

    I am having the same problems and have purchased Aperture 3 in June and gone through two upgrades and then the latest cloud upgrade which may be the second or 3rd upgrade wants me to put a non existant serial number and I purchased off the app store?
    Dont tell me that I have to delete and download again. I dont have time for all that again and again.
    Does anybody know a workaround.
    Is there a software link in the UK to complain to Apple Support about this issue as it is time wasting and seems that Apple does not give a stuff about customer support outside of the USA?!!

  • Creative Suite 6 now asking for serial number after minor updates

    I bought the full version of Creative Suite 6 on release.
    Just recently after installing some (but in typical Adobe fashion not all) updates, apps from the suite start up by saying that I am in a 30 day trial!
    I have to then press the license button and reenter my serial number.
    This never happened prior to the last few weeks.
    I tried asking about it on the online chat since Adobe's phone lines are jammed.
    This was very much like talking to a wall.
    Is this happening to anyone else?
    Thanks,
    Lance

    Yep, me too - there's a thread about this here too...

    2 out of our 4 iMacs running CS6 are reverting to trial status every morning - despite saying it's accepted the serial number properly, up it pops the next day again! Doesn't just affect Photoshop CS6, we had the same message after launching Illustrator CS6 and InDesign CS6 too. Must be one of these updates that popped up last week, I do wish Adobe tested these things properly before rolling them out to paying customers!!
    SORT IT OUT, ADOBE!!!

  • Purchased and registered lightroom, now asking for serial number on startup

    I purchased Adobe Lightroom 3 several weeks ago, and have used it without hassle since. However, today when I tried to use it, it told me I had four days left on my trial period and prompted me to enter or buy a serial number. Why is this happening when I already entered the serial code when I first bought it, and why can't I find my serial number in my purchases to re-enter it?

    Hi,
    Please get in touch with our support team for help in retrieving your serial number:
    Contact Adobe Support
    On the support page, select "I cant find my serial number" in the first dropdown menu.
    In the second dropdown, select "My product isn't registered.."
    You will then have an option to chat with a support representative. You can also call support by using the phone numbers mentioned on this page.
    Thanks

  • Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?

    Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
    Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
    I don't understand.

    First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

  • Launching Photoshop CC from dock asks for serial number [was:what is this?]

    What is this? I just want to use photoshop on my laptop using the same license I use for my desktop. Please help

    Hi.
    photoshop CC
    Laptop = OSX 10.8.5
    Desktop = OSX 10.8.5
    Launching photoshop from dock. It asks for serial number. I enter serial number copied directly form my account with adobe.
    Error says "This serial number is not valid for Adobe Photoshop CC."
    I'm confused as to why Photoshop worked before on my laptop but now it does not. Did something expire? Do I need a separate serial number for a different computer (ie. my laptop). I don't understand.
    Thanks.

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

  • Acrobat Pro asks for serial number after update while being part of CS4 package

    Hello, frustrating: I installed CS4 on a new Mac as the old one wasn't fast enough anymore. I deactivated the package (Master collection) on the old one, and activated it on the new one.
    Everything works fine. Then there was Adobe updater, updating Acrobat pro. No problem.
    But when it launches, it asks for a serial number. And my CS 4 number doesn't work on this. Weird, it seems the Acrobat pro isn't linked to the master collection anymore ? But we did nothing
    with the software, just ran the update as suggested by Adobe updater.
    PLEASE HELP! as we cannot use Acrobat Pro now and we need to use it!!!
    thanks

    Hi,
    I suppose you have installed Creative Cloud Desktop App, or Latest Adobe Application Manager (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4773).
    You can also try following steps:
    Launch the product
    On Trial Screen click on License this software
    On Sign in Screen, click on “Not My Adobe ID” (if displayed), else click on signin (do this even if it shows a valid ID).
    Sign in with your Adobe Id
    Software should now be lincensed.
    Can you please share your adobeID and mail oobelib.log and amt3.log from %temp% on Windows, or /tmp in Mac, if it is still not working to [email protected]

  • Asking for serial number at update

    I have the CC subscription and am trying unsuccessfully to update Lightroom.  It is now prompting me for a serial number, which I do not have.  It has locked me out of Lightroom and I can't access it at all.  Stuck at the serial number page.  Please advise. 

    If you do have the CC subscription for both LR and PS just close LR, Open the Creative Cloud app and it should authenticate your install as valid and then give you access to it. If in the CC app it still lists an Update for LR click on that to install from the CC app and you should be good to go.

  • IWorks 09 now asking for Serial No.......

    Hi,
    I have been happily using iWorks '09 for several years on my imac running OS 10.5.8. The other day Numbers asked me to purchase a Serial Number as my Trial period had ran out!!!
    As I had purchased iWorks online from Apple I have no physical DVD to reinstall and I cannot find an email from Apple with my Serial Number details on...
    Because I need it immediately I went to purchase it again but now it's iWorks 13 and this won't run on my older mac....
    Any ideas greatly appreciated
    Regards,
    Si

    Hi Si,
    Your Profile shows OS X 10.5.8. Is this correct? Menu > Apple > About This Mac.
    I am using OS X 10.9.2, so this advice may be completely wrong.
    Do you have System Preferences > App Store > Automatic Updates turned on? If so, the App Store may have automatically installed a new OS X version and possibly Numbers 13 (Numbers 3.x).
    Look in your Applications folder (or use Spotlight) to search for Numbers. The latest version is Numbers 3.1 and it may be in your Applications folder.
    Look for Numbers '09 in a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder.
    If you have Numbers '09, it (may) run just as well as it used to. Drag the icon to your Dock (is there such a thing as a Dock in your OS X?) and right click > Options > Keep in Dock. Launch Numbers from there.
    Call back with questions.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Photoshop CS6 upgrade from CS4 continually asks for serial number.

    I purchased an upgrade from Photoshop CS 4 to Photoshop CS 6 directly from Adobe in December of 2012. (My version of CS4 was originally purchased by me as part of a CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
    My CS4 version has worked since 2009 with no licensing issues.
    I did not install the upgradeto CS6  immediately, I just installed it in August of this year, but I do not think that the problem stems from my delay in installation.
    What happens is that every 6-8 times that I open the program, I get a screen asking me to "License Creative Cloud", which I do NOT want.
    The only options I am given are: Join Now, License This Product, or Continue Trial.
    If I simply X out of the screen, Photoshop CS6 will not open at all.
    If I click: License This Product, I get a sign-in screen that asks for my serial number, which I fill in and then my program opens.
    I have tried customer support 3 times - one chat and 2 phone calls (all lasting at least 1 hour each time) and I am not getting the correct help to solve this issue.
    I am extremely frustrated and outraged that I am bothered by this stupid issue.
    Please help me to stop this screen about Creative Cloud from appearing and from having to constantly input my serial number.
