Where are the serial numbers?

I just bought the family pack of Snow Leopard, and I'm a little confused why I did. There aren't any serial numbers. For all I can tell, I could have installed this on 100 computers. Is there some serial number built into the DVD so they are keeping track of where these get installed? Otherwise I feel like I got scammed out of $20, and could have just bought the $30 edition...

It's the Apple way. And allot of us like that.
When I upgrade to 10.6 I don't need to pull out my 10.0,10.1,10.2,10.3,10.4 and 10.5 serial numbers.
Also if I'm in a pinch and I need to reinstall on the road I don't need to worry about finding past serial numbers in order to install.
I can't begin to try and remember where all my serial numbers are for Windows. As a matter of fact I've lost so many **** install disks its wrong. What's worse is that when I need a disk for a particular model I can't find it. And an HP disk wont reinstall onto a Dell. This has caused me way too much frustration in the past.
With Apple, I buy the disk, Make a copy onto my hard drive and I always have a copy around if one fails. If I loose the one for my laptop the same one will restore my desktop.
So while there are people who will rip off Apple the $20 it saves everyone else added aggravation when the rare circumstance arises that mandate an reinstall.
And for that *Thank you Apple!*

  • Where are the Serial Numbers for T410 and Mini Dock Series 3?

    I recently called the support line, and between the young ladies on the phone and me, we couldn't find them anywhere!  There are lots of other numbers, but we couldn't find anything with an SN, S/N etc.  And why (Lenovo engineers, I'm looking at you!) do the numbers have to be in such tiny font and of a color that blends in so well with the color of the computer or device?  There is an entire laptop bottom to use, I'm sure there's enough room to put numbers that can be more easily read  wtihout having to resort to magnifying glasses. 
    At any rate, someone, please tell me where they hid the serial numbers on these two pieces of equipment?
    Also, I apologize for sticking this post in an existing, not-exactly-the-same-topic thread, but I couldn't find any sort of "create new thread" button anywhere.  I also did a search, and while there were posts on how to find the serial numbers on other models, I couldn't find one for the  T410.
    Thanks so much ,in advance.

    Using the mini dock series 3 you don't have to undock to remove the computer. So it's not like when using the advanced mini dock where you had to undock before the computer can be removed. That is why you don't have the undock option under the start menu or undock options in easy eject when connected to the mini dock since you don't have to undock.
    If you don't use Access Connections the wireless radio will not be turned off when connected to the network using a cable. If you use Access Connections you should check that a profile have actually been applied and also the settings to allow the radio to be turned off.
    Since you get network access through the docking it sounds like it's working fine. Is the monitor connected to the docking working as well?

  • Where do the serial numbers come from?

    I am new to ALM. I get how it is supposed to work. My question is where to the serial numbers come from? I assign my e-licenses to a serial number and all is good. But, we have purchased MANY copies of Acrobat Pro v.8 and I only see three serial numbers to assign e-license to?!?!?!?!?!
    Thanks!
    - Dave

    Dave,
    If you have purchased through one of Adobe's AOO licensing programs, you can find your serial numbers by going to "Retrieve serial numbers" in the Licensing Web Site. Here you should find one Windows and one Mac serial number for Acrobat 8 Pro. You can use these serial numbers for all the copies of Acrobat you have purchased -- you will not receive a new serial number for every copy.

  • Where are the image numbers for photos sent via Photo stream?

    I created an album for a friend of 450 images and sent them via Photostream. When indicating the ones she liked, she referred to the numbers but I can't see any numbers on the pictures. They are not the original numbers as I have them in Aperture. Can anyone tell me where to find them? Don't tell me she counted all 450 of them!!!

    Forget the files - you do not access them using iPhoto - you access the photos using the media browser - in the lower left hand corner of every upload/attach/open window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

    I want to transfer elements 10 to my new windows 7 laptop but never got a disc or serial numbers when purchased on Adobe site 7/12.  Thanks.

    If you registered your copy (you did, right?), then log in to Adobe ID on the Adobe website, and you can find it under your user profile.

  • Where is the serial number to Register Lightroom 3 upgrade? Numbers on the case don't work.

    Where is the serial number to register Lightroom 3.5?  Numbers on the case don't work.  Please respond to [email protected]

    Check the sleeve the CD/DVD came in for the SN, I never had a problem. When I purchased the LR3 upgrade from LR2 I chose a hard copy not a download. On the CD sleeve was the SN, and after installing and opening for the first time LR3 prompted for the new SN (not the same as the LR2 SN). As I recall, this was the process. Install, open, enter the SN. This resulted in 2 versions of LR available to me; LR2 and LR3. I found the process painless and fast. Subsequently I downloaded updates to  LR3.

  • Standard FM to get the Serial Numbers associated with the PO

    Hi,
    I'm using the Standard FM "BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1" to get the details of the PO which I have created. The FM is returning the details such as PO HISTORY, POITEM, POHEADER etc. I want the serial numbers associated with the PO.
    Please help me to get the serial numbers which are issued to the PO since the material assigned to the PO is serialised material. Another Standard FM "BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL" also I have tried but there is no serial number collection in that FM.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mohan.

    These function modules will not return you the serial number. May be you can use following logic.
    You can use table ser03 where in you wll input material document number and find out obknr. Pass this obknr to objk table and find out seril number.
    And to find the material document number for the relevant purchase order number you can use table EKBE.
    So for EKBe-BEWTYP= E and EBELN= purchase order find EKBE-MBLNR(belnr).
    The material document number and year  found above pass it to SER03-MBLNR and SEr03-mjahr and find SEr03-obknr.
    The obknr number found above pass it to OBJK and find serila numbers..

  • I have no DVD drive on my computer.  Where are the downloads located?

    I received discs for Photoshop elements & premier elements 12 with my new camera but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive.  I assumed it would be no big deal to download them from the Internet...wrong.  .I have serial numbers to install Photoshop but I cannot find where the downloads are located.  I find plenty of "trial" downloads but I should not have to pay for a product I already have.  Can anyone help me out there in cyber-land?  Adobe has no information on the website and I am unable to locate a live person.  So, that is you!  Hey live person, can you help this little ol lady?  Thank you so much!!

    I am okay with a computer but not a geek that is for sure!
    I downloaded the assistant and nothing happened.  I went to the site you so kindly suggested and started the download, and when I tried to apply it to the computer it said elements were missing.  I deleted the download and then started again.  Right now it is once again downloading the assistant. 
    Arggggggh!

    Thanks for the update.
    What was the problem...the length of time for the download or just getting any download at all?
    If necessary, I will go step by step with you through the tryout download from Adobe. But, the purchase of a USB external DVD/CD burner for your computer is a good idea and investment.
    If you do the shopping for this, check out how many connections are necessary for it to the computer....none, one, or two...check out the length of the USB cable.
    Please let us know how we can help. But, your mentioned place of purchase has a squad who should be able to help your with the purchase.
    Thanks. Please update us on your progress when your schedule permits.

  • Where is the serial number when downloading keynote?

    I downloaded Keynote from the Mac App Store on my Macbook and it was going great. Then it said I needed a Serial Number to continue. I checked my email and there was no Serial Number on the recipt, and I still can't get on to keynote (because I don't have the Serial Number), where do I find this number after downloading the app?

    I have Keynote's sister app, Pages. There are no serial numbers associated with iWork from the MAS to my knowledge. Did you at any point download a trial version of the iWork apps? Did you remove the trial before buying Keynote from the MAS?
