Where can I find my activation key?

Hello,
I am ready to completely reinstall Mac OS 10.9 on my macbook pro in order to clean it up.
I bought Aperture a long time ago, in a shop (not the online store), and I do not have its box (in which there is the activation key) with me.
Do you know, before reinstalling Mac OS, where I can find my activation key in the software or in the system. I would copy it on a paper and everything would be solved.
When I will reinstall Aperture, will it ask the key, or is it someway linked to my apple account, even though I did not initially bought it on the Apple Store?
Many Thanks,
Nicolas

Which Aperture version are you currently running, Nicolas?
If it is not an AppStore version, you need the installer DVD to reinstall. The earlier Aperture versions are best installed and not migrated.
As to the registration key:
Earlier Aperture versions up to version Aperture 3.4.5 will show the registration key in the "About" panel - in the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture.
(added: It will only show the last registration key. If you have an upgrade key, you will need the keys of the previous versions as well).
If you already updated to Aperture 3.5.1, you do not need your Aperture serial number any longer. Aperture will have been associated with your Apple ID and it will show on the "Purchases" tab of the App Store, when you sign into the Store menu with the Apple ID, that you used, when you updated Aperture. Check the App Store and the Purchases, before you wipe your drive.   I strongly recommend to update to Aperture 3.5.1 and to associate Aperture with your AppleID, if you have not yet done that.  Then you should be able to reinstall from the AppleStore.  But keep a backup copy of Aperture 3.5.1 just in case, since the current version at the AppStore is Aperture 3.6, that will require Yosemite.

  • Where can I find the product key for Windows 7?

    Hi - I recently purchased a laptop from Dixons. Where can I find the product key to start using microsoft 7? I can not find it anywhere.
    Please help!

    Hello
    I believe 90% of Toshiba notebooks you can find on the market are delivered with preinstalled operating system. When you start it for the first time you must NOT activate preinstalled OS. At the bottom of the notebook you can find Windows sticker with valid key license.
    Maybe you bought notebook without preinstalled OS. In this case you must install own OS and use own license key.
    The question is: which notebook model do you have exactly and was your notebook delivered with preinstalled operating system?
    For exact answer please offer more relevant information.

    Where can I find the serial key of my academic membership?

    Hi Yuki,
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Same issue also has been discussed in the below mentioned links.

  • Where can I find an Access key for the user with "AS ABAP sneak preview" ?

    Hi all,
    I have installed AS ABAP sneak preview on my laptop.
    I use username "bcuser" and password "minisap". when I try to create some objects like, i.e. Function Group for Function Module, then it ask for an access key.
    Where can I find an access key for this ABAP SNEAK PREVIEW for user "bcuser"?
    I have gone thru some documents, I know we need to register user in OSS and need to get an access key from the marketplace but can I register this user "bcuser" or it's already register? I need some more specific information to resolve this issue.
    Please advise me on above question.
    Thanks,
    Haresh Solanki

    Hi Rich,
    I have entered ZH_XYZ as a Function Group name to create a new function group. While I am creating it, it asks for the Access Key. I tries to enter an Access Key here for the first time and it says wrong entry for access key.
    Also if I try to create new Function Module, it ask me to select the Function Group. As I couldn't create a new Function Group, I tried to select from existing(from SAP System's FG), still it asks for an access key, I enter the an Access Key here, then also it says wrong entry.
    I really got confused with this Access Key thing, can you provide me some insights?
    Thanks,

  • Where can I find the activation pin for the comes ...

    I have recently bought a 5320 phone and wants to register for comes with music. However, I was not able to find the activation pin. It's stated in the website that it is printed on the leaflet but I simply can't find the 16 character pin. I have already looked at all the leaflets that are inside the package.
    Can someone tell me where exactly can I find the activation pin? Thanks!

    Hi,
    This is a very common problem, nearly all the retailers out there are using the fact that Nokia are offering this 'comes with music' service as a unique selling feature. The guy I spoke to in carphone warhouse said that my phone Was compatable with the comes with music scheme and that I would have no problems, once I had registered in downloading.
    I had the same advice from O2 and from Orange.
    So I went with Carphone warehouse and got the 5230, without confirming that I would receive the voucher from them. My fault I know.
    When a rang them after realising I had been cleaverly duped I was told on the phone that carphone warehouse had never taken part in the scheme to give out the vouchers in their compatable handset sales.
    Luckely I voice recorded the guy who missold to me as I read on here before makingmy purchase, and have now been offered all my money back and a voucher of £100 to spend in the music store as a form of apology.
    I would suggest you contact Nokia themselves. The more reports they receive hopefully they will react.

  • Where can i find the license keys?

    I bought 3 cloud license for Photoshop. I see the transaction on my creditcard but where can i find the serialnumbers?

    If you are talking about serial numbers to activate the software, as far as I know there are no serial numbers for activating cloud-based applications.  If you happen to have trial versions installed and need to convert them to cloud use, see the folowing help document:

  • I am trying to link our xbox and PC into our wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking me for a WEP Key.  Where can I find my wep key?

    I am tyrying to link our xbox and PC int oour wireless network.  I am using an apple airport express and it is asking for my WEP Key.  Where do I find it?

    You should be able to setup WPA / WPA2 access, rather than WEP - which is old an less secure. (Unless your devices are too old for WPA??)
    Try this link: http://spotlight.getnetwise.org/wireless/wifitips/apple/apple-wpa.php
    **Edit
    Airport does support the WEP protocol.

  • Where can I find my License key in Lightroom?

    I purchased a full version of Lightroom 5 online about 5 weeks ago. All was well until the develop module stopped working last night and I'm now getting a "develop module disabled - renewal required" message. I'd like to check that my license key is correctly entered, but can't find it anywhere - any help would be appreciated

    If the develop module is disabled and you are being asked to renew then you have downloaded and installed the creative cloud version of Lightroom. It is the same program, but is licensed completely differently. You cannot activate it with your serial number. You will have to uninstall that version, and then install from here:
    Product updates
    If the installer doesn't prompt you for the serial number, you can get to the registration screen through the help menu in Lightroom.

  • Hi, Having  downloaded Printer pro and printing my first letter, I now find that when logging in again I am faced with a Enter Passkey page, excuse the ignorance but where can I find the pass key code ???

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Printer pro and having already printed a letter last evening, I now find that on returning to the programme this morning I am faced with an Enter Passkey code.
    Please excuse the ignorance, but I didn't expect this, how di I find the Pass key code ??????
    Anyone's help with issue would be very much appreciated.
    Thank you
    Robert T.

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

  • Where can I find old license keys?

    The Adobe website has changed and looks to be focused on CC. In the office we have someone still using CS2 which is fine for his needs. But on his new computer Photoshop keeps asking for the CS2 key. I tried to look it up on Adobe's website, but can't fin the section with license keys after login in anymore. Does anyone know where I can find this?

  • Where can I find the user key precedence hierarchy for each record type?

    Example: I want to update contact records through the CRMOD web service API.
    So I'm looking at the "Oracle Web Services On Demand Guide, Version 6.0 (released August 2010)", page 316, and it lists 3 user keys for Contact.wsdl v2.0 in the following order:
    1. FirstName and LastName
    2. Id
    3. ExternalSystemId
    From what I can see, this order does not seem to reflect the precedence hierarchy of these 3 user keys.
    I've send in a test update where I supplied a FN, LN, and EUID, ... and the contact that matched the EUID got updated.
    (I'm glad it did, because EUID really needs to take precedence over FN+LN, otherwise you could never change a contact's last name without knowing the contact's Row Id.)
    Does anyone know where I can find the precedence hierarchy for each record type's user keys (other than doing the obvious and time consuming "try+error")?

    Hi,
    we experienced similar problems with the account object and asked the oracle support about this. This was their answer:
    "[...] thank you for contacting CRM On Demand Customer Care. Regarding your question, please note the below: when perfoming a query, the user key fields are looked for in this order: - Row id - External System Id - AccountName and Location. Basically, the search will be performed by AccountName and Location only when the other fields are missing. This is an expected behavior because, the Row Id is the strongest filter as it is always unique. The external system Id comes second, as it is supposed to be unique in another system."
    So, I guess the order is always
    1) Row Id
    2) External System Id
    3) specific field combinations...
    kind regards
    Kai
