Vista serial number question!

I got a new the A100-049 with vista installed but i wasn't happy with it and i uninstalled vista to get XP back today but i find out that since i have two hard drives i can have vista installed as well.
I go to install vista and asks me for the serial. I wrote the serial that appeared under computer while i still had vista but when i typed it in realised it wasn't long enough, so i look in the case and book but i cant find it.
Then however i see that the case is for windows anytime upgrade and not the windows home premium, and i also have the manual for home prem though.
So my question, can i get vista back only with having the upgrade dvd? or am i just stupid and the serial is in the case or book somewhere? i feel like i should know!

Hi
Im not 100% sure how the image works with Vista but usually the OS is already activated and its not necessary to type any serial numbers.
Yes, youre right. The recovery CD will format the HDD. But you should find an expert mode or something like that.
This mode should allow you to choose the partition where the OS must be installed. Then only this partition will be formatted.

HELP!!! Not your average Serial Number question!

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a rut. I'm not asking for a serial number, I just need to know where on my computer to find it.
STORY:
I had to erase my mac because Avid messed it all up. Yay Avid!. Anyways, I'm covered for backups though. I have a time machine backup, a bootable external that I cloned as my hard drive pre-erase, and a disk image of my computer pre-erase.
I'm reinstalling all the apps, including FCS 2, but I got the upgrade version. I no longer have the box for Final Cut Studio 1 (or 5.1 or whatever we're calling it) but I have the serial number that I wrote on a post it fromthe last time I did this. My handwriting is legible, but for whatever reason, the FCS installer is accepting the FCS2 upgrade serial, but not the FCS1 serial. Since I have so many copies of my computer pre-erase, I remember before I was able to find a file (can't remember which program, possibly FCP) that had the serial number somewhere in the library folder.
QUESTION: Is there somewhere on the copies of my hard drive pre-erase where that FCS1 serial could be hidden? I need it so I install FCS2, without which, is worthless . And so am I, without my editing software :P.
THANKS GUYS! You're always a big help.

I no longer have the box for Final Cut Studio 1 (or 5.1 or whatever we're calling it)
Do you have the original Apple-branded disks for FCS 5.1?
y/n
No disks = no software just a stolen serial number written on a post-it note.

Acrobat X Standard - Post-Installation Serial Number Question

Is there any way to install Acrobat X Standard in such a way where it will wait to prompt for the serial number when it is launched for the first time, instead of upon installation?
I read an earlier post that indicates you can remove the ISX_SERIALNUMBER instance from the ABCPY.INI file to force it into trial mode, but that does not work for this version.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for getting back with me so soon!
We are still purchasing OEM licenses, and I am trying to create standard PC images with Adobe Acrobat X Standard pre-installed. I just want to be able to bring the image down to a machine and then just pop in the serial number without having to install.
If you know of a way this can be done -or- how to install Standard in a trial state, please share.
Thanks again.

Matho4 do you have the serial numbers available somewhere? If so you can go into Photoshop and select Help>System Info and it will have a field titled Serial give you the first 20 digits of the serial number. The complete 24 digit serial number is not avalable for users to view on their computer.

Macbook Pro - Serial Number question

I have a Macbook Pro (week 17) that I picked up the beginning of June. It does not have the glossy screen. I registered my MBP and my AppleCare. When I put my serial number into the field on the support site about how much longer my warranty will last, it says I have a "MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)." Is this an error or are all MBPs considered glossy after a certain date even if the screen is not glossy. Has anybody else noticed this?
Thanks

This seems to be very common. I've seen the same thing all along for my 15" with matte screen. The web site reported it as glossy when I registered the MBP, when it was at Apple for a repair, and when I enrolled my AppleCare Protection Plan. Several others have reported this as well.
I wouldn't worry about it. I'm not sure they can correct it until they correct whatever overall glitch is making it so common.

Cs3 serial number question

how do I find a serial number on an old photoshop cs3 program so I can prove that I was a previous owner and get a discount on the cloud

Did you register your program with Adobe? It would be here under your account.
Adobe ID
If not you should have the box with the serial number inside.
If not, you should have it on a text file stored in your Documents folder.
If not, and you just want Photoshop, the Creative Cloud Photography plan | Adobe Creative Cloud for $10 a month is a great deal.

Photoshop update fail and serial number questions.

I send Adobe a log file under ID: 40-47895-155906062013

Upgrade & serial number questions.

Hi,
This may sound very stupid to many of you, but if somebody could take a minute to answer i'd really appreciate it.
In 2009 and I bought Adobe CS4 web premium. It was the first design software i've ever used. I've learned loads and am really enjoying it. I am now thinking about upgrading to CS5.5 web premium.
What happens to my website (folders, appearance, etc) when I install CS5.5? I know it sounds ridiculous but as i've never done this before I want to make sure that the hours and hours of work i've put in isn't lost or ruined because I may have forgotten to do something.
If I upgrade by purchasing the download option, do I need to have my CS4 serial number? I have just moved house and will have to dig about 100 boxes, something I could do without today!
Any help appreciated,
Thanks

What happens to my website (folders, appearance, etc) when I install CS5.5?
What should happen is that your CS4 site definitions should sucessfully migrate to CS5.5 as part of the CS5.5 installation process.
So when you launch CS5.5, your settings should be all set up and waiting for you.
For some, this does not happen and they have to manually re-enter their site definitions.
That's about it.
If I upgrade by purchasing the download option, do I need to have my CS4 serial number? I have just moved house and will have to dig about 100 boxes, something I could do without today!
FYI, if you registered your CS4 with Adobe when you bought it, your CS4 serial no can be obtained online from the Adobe servers by logging into the Adobe website.

Serial Number/Manufacture and Refurb Question for iphone 5

I searched this site (and others) and couldn't find an answer for my specific serial number question so here it goes...I am selling my unlocked ATT iPhone 5 and as part of my sale, I would like to give the buyer the most information possible on my phone. I just got the phone 3 weeks ago from Apple as a replacement for the broken power button on my original phone since I was under warranty with Apple Care. I was trying to determine when the phone was manufactured and if it's refurbished so I went to the Chipmunk site that was suggested in many forums. http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
Based on 4 being the third number in my serial number, it's saying that it was manufactured in 2014, is that possible for an iPhone 5?
I also received this piece of information from the report in Chipmunk:
Factory: FF (Refurbished?)
I'm thrown off by the "(Refurbished?)" part. What does FF mean, it's the first two letters in my serial number?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Any iPhone or iPad charger should work with the iPhone 5. There is something wrong with your charger. If it is the one that came with the phone it is covered by the phone's warrantee.

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.
