What happens if my serial number doesn't work?

I'm having some serious problems with my copy of PSE 7. First, my install disc wasn't working so I had to download the installer. Now it's installed, but it's not accepting my serial number. It's a legit number and I used it before when I installed it from disc - how can I make this work?

go through these steps before contacting adobe support, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite

  • They sent me a serial number for a windows version of PS Elements when I ordered a mac version.  The serial number doesn't work, not surprisingly, but they don' t seem to care.  I have tried the chat line and have waited for almost a day with no response.

    if you can't find your serial number (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html), you'll need to contact adobe support (http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html).

  • TS2565 when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    when updated to 9.1.7 from 9. I need new serial and the old serial number doesn't work. How can i solve this?

    There was no new serial needed to update from Logic 9 to 9.1.7
    If your Logic 9 was an upgrade from Logic 8 it may be asking you for your original Logic 8 Full serial first and then your Logic 9 Upgrade serial...
    Otherwise, it's best to call Apple directly and get them to help you...

    i know you can send text messages through your email...just like a regular email all you do is send it to [email protected] dont use a subject just use the body of the email and its easiest to keep them short..i would do a test one to your phone first just so you see how it looks. hope that helps

  • My serial number doesn't work (Lightroom 4, non-cloud)

    I have Lightroom 4  (non-cloud). My serial number suddenly stopped working since the beginning of March. 
    Whenever I start the program, I'm prompted to purchase a new Lightroom, which I don't want to/can't afford). Could someone tell me how to resolve the problem? Thank you.

    At the end of a 30-day LR trial period, LR should give you a choice to enter a serial number or purchase.  What happens if you enter your serial number?
    Where did you purchase the original LR4 serial number from, Adobe, a physical store location, or the internet site not Adobe?

  • My serial number doesn't work for Illustrator

    First I've downloaded Illustrator trial and finally I bought the mastersuite. But now Illustrator is saying that my serial number doesn't even exist (that serial number works on other programs in the suite). What am I supposed to do ?
    Thanks

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and reinstall everything. Also refer to this:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
    Your Illu is still tied to your un out trial and you need to delete the locked license file so it will correctly run with the suite serial.

  • I bought adobe premiere elements 12 and my serial number doesn't work

    i bought adobe premiere elements 12 and my serial number doesn't work

    anthony2504
    Did you just purchase Premiere Elements 12 - online download or installation disc?
    Was the program ever installed by you a while back and are you trying to reinstall it now?
    Are you sure that you are working with the serial number and not a redemption code?
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/redemption-code-help.html
    When working with downloads and installs, please work with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
    Please review and consider, and then we can decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Lightroom from Win - Mac (Serial number doesn't work)

    Hello until my Windows PC was broken, I used there lightroom 5. Now, the new one is a Mac. But I can't use it, because  the serial number does not work. What can I do? (Sorry for my bad english...)

    Unlike subscriptions, perpetual licenses with serial numbers must be swapped. See this link...

  • My Serial number doesn't work. What should I do?

    I just installed the Adobe CS4 Master Collection on my new laptop. All of the Adobe applications work perfectly fine except for Photoshop. It tells me that my serial number was already used twice. What should I do?
    It is letting me do a 30 day trial. But Photoshop is really the only Adobe app I need. With my luck, its the only one not working for me.
    Why is it that only one app is telling me that the serial # is wrong? and what should I do?

    Dragonz,
    It appears that you have Activated PS on the two allowed machines already. You ARE allowed two Activations only. As has been pointed out, you can Deactivate one of those. Also, the EULA does allow Activation on two personal computers, but they may not be run at the same time - that goes for ALL of the components of any suite too, so you cannot run InDesign on one computer, while doing PS work on the other. [That one got me sometime back, and the Adobe Product Manager had to go to Adobe Legal, for a ruling. I had been breaking my EULA, though always try to follow that to the "letter of the law." Luckily for me, I had two separate (non-suite) stand-alone licenses for PS, and not used in any upgrade path, so once I Deactivated, uninstalled, reinstalled (from one of the stand-alones) and Activated, I was again "legal."]
    If you HAVE only Activated on one personal computer, then there is a problem, and as Noel mentions, a call to Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), should be able to fix things quickly and painlessly.
    Once, there was also a limit on the number of installations allowed, which could be reset by C/S, if exceeded. IIRC, that policy was discontinued, as of Feb, 2010. Still, there ARE limits on Activations, and only two copies of each program can be Activated at the same tim.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • I've just purchased creative cloud but the serial number doesn't work. What can I do?

    I'm just going round in circles on this website... The serial number associated with my purchase of creative cloud doesn't work. Different pages are saying different things and are sending me round in circles. Have I just been conned out of £500? Help me please someone...

    See if the following help document leads to a solution:
    Creative Cloud Help / Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ccm-prompt-serial-number.html
    If you purchased thru the Adobe web site then you are not being conned.  You just might need to help to get you thru.

  • CS5.5 serial number doesn't work

    4 months ago I installed in my PC the CS5.5
    by dialing the serial number of the product I purchased
    in the boxes of the splash screen of a trial version.
    All the programs of the CS have been installed as purchased products
    except for Fireworks (but I didn't find it out until now).
    Now I need to use it and I am trying to install it from the trial version
    (which I downloaded few months ago but had never launched)
    by dialing the CS5.5 serial number I purchased but it doesn’t work.
    I dialog says that my serial number is not valid for the product I am trying to install.
    What is wrong with the license I purchased?

  • Lightroom serial number doesn't work on new MAC.  How can I fix this?

    I loaded the student edition of Lightroom 5 on my PC, and am trying to convert everything to a MAC.  Do I need to remove the Lightroom software from my PC to load Lightroom 5 to my MAC?  I have the student teacher edition software.

    no, you don't need to remove lr from your pc.  you are allowed up to two concurrent installations of adobe software.
    make sure you're using the mac serial number and check this to solve common problems, Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
    and if that doesn't help, contact adobe support by clicking 'still need help' as soon as available, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
