Oh my, I hope so too but its pretty common on these types of sites - even eBay sellers do it. Its all about the way they word it. Some sellers are very crafty in the way they word their ads misleading the buyer into thinking they're getting a legitimate and licensed product when it's actually not. Be careful in any future products you buy on these kinds of sites.
My advice is to quickly write an email to the seller and demand to know what you just bought - Be VERY specific and thorough with your questions - for example on ebay  I bought a computer that had CS5 installed on it (but it didn't come with the install disks)  This particular seller installed CS5 or 6 as well as the Microsoft Suites on all of his used pc's. So before I bid, I sent an email to him asking if it included the product codes for the CS5 because I intended to register it for Adobe support. He advised me that he bought bulk licenses for all his software, he told me exactly where the product codes were on a document and they were in fact legit.
Also check the return policy of the Site (not the seller) sometimes they offer a little protection to their customers. Be sure to contact their support department and their Fraud department if it turns out you were scammed. And definitely give negative feedback to the seller.
One more thing, you should  also check with the Adobe licensing support department. In fact, do this FIRST - so that you're sure the code is no good. Sometimes the product codes have expiration dates (though I've never heard of it happening to entire suite) If this is the case they will issue you a new code free of charge.
Good Luck. I really hope it all works out for you.

    If you purchased it from Adobe, it is registered and that would prove ownership as well as the emaill they sent with the serial number.
    https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader
    Sign in with the email and password that you bought it under.
    Click on the triangle next to your product and you will see the serial number assigned to you.
    You have a valid record and proof of ownership. Try again.

  • After re-installing my serial number is not valid for this product

    My laptop crashed and I had to install PhE11 on another laptop. After installing it says: this serialnumber is not valid for this product.
    But it is the only serialnumber I have, and I did not type it wrong. Please help.

  • Issue when installing SQL Server Express 2012 - "The requested control is not valid for this service" + "Could not find the database engine startup handle"

    Good morning,
    I'm experiencing the following issue when installing Microsoft SQL Server Express 2012 (with tools, SQLEXPRWT_x86_ENU.exe) on the laptop of my company;
    Installation goes plain until around the end of the progress bar, it stops on the setup of
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    I've put in my SkyDrive the error log I received after the install;
    I'm at full disposal if you need further information,
    thank you in advance
    Best regards
    Francesco

    Well, i just ran into this issue and the problem was lack of admin rights. It was my company's laptop so got the setup initiated by my company's IT team with admin rights. However, the upon completion of setup, i go the same error messages as stated above: 
    SqlEngineDBStartConfigAction_install_configrc_Cpu32
    giving 7-8 times, even pressing "Cancel", the message "The requested control is not valid for this service";
    After this, I receive one last message ""Could not find the database engine startup handle", then installation ends with failures, in particular the Database Engine and the Server Replication failed to be installed.
    Also, if you open SQL Server Configuration, the status of the service is "Change Pending" and you would not be able to set the startup login type to Local Service/System/Network.
    Then, I just got my account added as Local Admin and then tried to start the service and was able to.
    However, I am not sure whether same was the case for you.
    Please mark the answer as helpful if i have answered your query. Thanks and Regards, Kartar Rana

    When I try to access GameCenter on my Mac it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to an error communicating with the server." How can I fix this?

    This usually caused by a customised hosts file.
    These need to be the only entries in your /etc/hosts file:-
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1       localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1             localhost
    fe80::1%lo0     localhost
    Remove anything below these entries, then try and reconnect with GC. Once GC starts properly you can put the extra entries back in your hosts file, GC should start normally afterwards.

  • ARD 3 Will Not Install "The serial number is not valid"

    Hello, and thanks for reading.
    I am a new network admin in a silicon valley school district. I come from a Windows background and I am picking up the Mac pretty well. I was asked by the support team to install Apple Remote Desktop 3 on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.4 to help people with our Outlook / Exchange deployment.
    This will not install no matter what. I have been trying for a total of about 5 hours so far. 4 different disk, 4 licenses, 3 of which are capped at 10 and 1 is unlimited. There are plenty of licenses available still. I have removed every bit of ARD off from the original install and just tried again. I am at my wit's end here. I am spending more time tryin to help others than I am doing anything else. Teach me to be a nice guy.
    Anyway, if anyone has a brilliant idea of what I am missing I am definitely willing to listen and follow. Than

    First, confirm that the licence codes and the disks you were given are indeed for ARD 3. Most school districts will have a lot of old stuff floating around, so it's quite possible that you were actually given the license code or disks for ARD 2.x or even ARD 1. A license code for ARD 3 should, I believe, always begin with XARD-030-, and of course an ARD 3 disk should say so.
    And I presume you're installing through a user account that has administrator privileges, correct?
    Regards.
