When attempting to open Aperature asks for license number

When attempting to open Aperature, an info box opens requesting my name and serial number. I searched on Apple solutions and downloaded Aperature 3.4.3 which supposedly rectifies this problem. It did not. Although I have my original purchase receipt for this product, I do not have the original box and hence, the product's serial number. This whole exercise has been most frustrating particularly since it occured without warning and blocks me from using a software that I have purchased. Is there any way to extract the serial number? I'd be happy to upgrade but that path also appears to be blocked. When I attempted an upgrade Apple advised that since the product was already installed, I needed to request an upgrade and as noted, when this was done, I was returned to square one.

What happened before Aperture started to ask for the serial number? Did you change the hardare in any way? Reinstall the system?
If the problem is accidental and your hardware and software did not change at all, you should be able to restore the licence by restoring the System Library and your User library from a backup of the time, when Aperture has been working properly.  If that succeeds, write the licence number down. It is displayed in the "About" panel: From the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
If you cannot restore the library files from your backup, contact Apple with a proof of purchase fr a replacement serial number:
See:  Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
What is your current Aperture version btw? Are you asking about upgrading from Aperture 2 or an earlier version of Aperture 3?

  • Lightroom 5 won't open, always asks for serial number

    I just bought Lightroom and the installation went without problems. I entered the serial number and then tried to open the program for the first time but instead of opening it's always aksing me to enter the serial number.
    Anyone able to help me with this? I'm using a MacBook Pro late 2013 OS X 10.9.2

    I'm still having the problem, it's really frustrating. I think I have deinstalled everything at least 10 times and nothing seems to be working. Would be very grateful if anyone has an idea how to solve this problem.

  • CC asks for License Number.

    On my Laptop CC apps are installed as trials, upon "licensing" it asks me to enter a S/N instead of licensing it through CC. Huge annoyance as it prevents me from working.

  • Pages asks for license

    Hi Folks,
    I purchased the Family Pack Box Set w/ iWork09 and have installed it on all of our Macs. All iWork apps work fine on my MacBook, my wives MacBook, but my son's intel iMac will not open any iWork app, even tho it is from the Family Pack. It keeps asking for license number to "unlock" it.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
    Adam

    The last time I looked all new Macs came with the trial of iWork. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each us.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

    chat with customer service at book company i purchased file:
    "Me: I installed the proper adobe software, adobe digital editions 3.0 (now have updated to 4.0) on my mac running os 10.85 however I am getting the following error code when i try to open the file:
    "Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem:
    E_LIC_LICENSE_SIGN_ERROR"
    Charles P.: Okay, what you need to do unfortunately, is contact Adobe at  http://www.adobe.com and they will need to get your license issue resolved.
    Charles P.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
    Me: title of error is    Unable to Download
    Me: i dont see how that would be an adobe problem?
    Charles P.: I understand, but it appears that the reason for the download issue is because of the license error the license is related to the Adobe Digital editions software. I understand how this could be confusing but it's due to the authorization of the ADE software. Adobe would need to correct your account issue with the license
    Me: ok but i thought this was a free license from adobe??!!  this is just a digital editions reader, right??
    Charles P.: That is correct it is a free license but your account has to be associated with one license and yes the Digital edition is a ebook reader that our ebooks use for you to view

    Well, just for the halibut I tried opening the book again today and , GLORY BE!,  it worked.
    Guess it may have taken overnight for Adobe to OK my license to their free ADE software. Also works now using Bluefire app as the reader on my android phone, although it was a pain
    to get the book file in the right file folder for bluefire to see it.
    I hope that time also heels the issue with all other Error Getting License users.

  • Receiving User License Agreement Message When Attempting To Open PDF - 10.1.0

    Recently upgraded to Reader 10.1.0. When attempting to open a specific PDF document I receive the following dialog.
    This only occurs with one specific PDF, as I have opened other PDF's with the IE browser plugin, as well as PDF's saved to my local machine using Adobe Reader.  I can open the PDF if the document is saved first, and then opened through Reader by performing a File -> Open.
    Any ideas on how to correct the issue?  The application was deployed using enterprise deployment tools along with the Reader customization kit.  I did check the checkbox for Accept User License Agreement in the Customization wizard.

    I also was pushing the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Privileged
    THat didn't seem to have any effect.
    I think the other key you had might be the one causing your password protected issue. It is the only difference between mine and your setups from these posts.
    So it comes down
    1: useing the adobe website to upgrade to 10.1.0 breaks the reader integration in different ways.
    2: installing full version from ftp site fixes the issue except for password protected pdf if you have the
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\FeatureLockDown set to 0
    changing back to 1 repairs this issue.
    Hmmmm maybe 10.2

  • "Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node..." when attempting to open .vi for editing

    I am attempting to open a vi for editing, and instead the vi is attempting to execute.  I get the error:
     "Error 7 occurred at Invoke Node in BuildTargetBuildSpecification.vi->BuildXFS.vi"    
    Possible reason(s):   LabVIEW:  File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux. Verify that the path is correct using the command prompt or file explorer.
    Method Name: Project: Open
    When I close the Error Message dialog, Labview terminates.

    Hi R.Jay,
    Error 7 generally occurs when trying to create an executable when there is an extra instance of a top-level vi.  You may need to remove the file as a support file (but leave it as the top level vi).
    Are you trying to run an executable that has already been created?  Unless you have already built an executable, it should not automatically run when opened.  Also, was it built in a previous version of LabVIEW?  Sometimes this error can be seen when you upgrade to a newer version without compiling.

    When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

    It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

    Hi Daddyfred,
    CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

  • When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    When attempting to open a hyperlink to a PDF file on the web from a Microsoft WORD for Mac 2011 (14.3.9) document, Safari 7.0 instead displays the file as text?

    As seen in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macword/has-the-word- 2011-for-mac-invisible-toolbars/018a3ab6-0570-4ad5-abf8-5b6427fdde3e?msgId=e111b f0a-0e32-4fa3-9536-f349dad8439d
    and it worked for me:
    1. Quit Word
    2. In the Finder's menu bar, select Go > Go to folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Preferences/
    3. Click on Go
    4. Locate the preference file com.microsoft.Word.plist, then Option-drag it to the desktop to create a backup copy
    5. Go to Applications/Utilities and open Terminal
    6. Paste the following bold command at the $ prompt (it's a single line):
         defaults write com.microsoft.Word 14\\Toolbars\\Show_HIToolbar -boolean TRUE
    7. Press Return and then quit with Command Q
    8. Start Word and test. If the fix works, trash the backup file in the Desktop file. Otherwise, restore it.
    In the original source the author also mentions the change in Word 2008
