Why am I asked for the serial number so often?

I'm curious about why I'm asked for my serial number so often in Motion. It seems like 1 out of 10 times I launch Motion I'm asked for my name and serial number. It was like this with Motion 3 and now with Motion 4. FCP, DVD Studio Pro, Soundtrack Pro, Color and Compressor almost never ask me for this information (in fact I don't know that they EVER ask for this).
I would assume this is done every so often just to make sure my use of the software is legit, but why is Motion so different from the other applications?

Yar, there's only one registration file now for the ProApps. You might try Spotlighting for that file although Spotlight doesn't always search Library folders.
You are probably going to find more than one copy and the bad ones will probably be in user libraries.

There is a non-CC LR and a CC-LR so maybe you installed the non-CC version which will ask for a serial number.
The non-CC version is available on the Adobe Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
The CC version is available as an Install button in the CC Desktop app.
Uninstall the LR 5.7 you have, then log out of the CC Desktop app, reboot, then open the CC Desktop app, and click the Install next to Lightroom.

Why is logic asking for a Serial number

Why is logic asking for a Serial number.

It means you've had another "Version" on your drive before.
The App store version does not require a serial number unless it sees certain files that indicates a previous installation of Logic.

I recently subscribed to Acrobat XI after the trial expired but when I went to activate it I was asked for the serial number. I only have the order number on the invoice. How do I get the serial number for the trial software that is on my computer?

Please do not try to send attachments in mail responses to forum messages. Please return to the forum and click Reply. You can then use the CAMERA icon to add your pictures. Looking forward to seeing what is wrong with your license screens - the general advice is simply to sign in, and everything is done. Make sure you use the SAME Adobe ID that you used to purchase, and check your account details to be sure the subscription is active.

Installing Photoshop CS4 from original Disk onto my new Macbook Pro. Serial number accepted but now asks for the serial number of a previous version e.g. CS3 which I no longer keep. How do I resolve ?

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool. Details on the use of the CC Cleaner Tool can be found at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.

you don't use a serial number with your cc subscription. you use your adobe id.
close flash > open your cc desktop app > sign out of your app > sign back in to your app being careful to use the exact adobe id you used to subscribe to cc. > open flash pro.

I am trying to load LR on my new macbook pro. It asks for the serial number. I enter the digits, but it says, quote, " This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of Lightroom is also required."

If you still have the old computer and it is a MAC, the Lightroom 5 serial numbers are in a text file.

It's asking you or prompting you to input the old serial number of the version that you used to upgrade to your new version.

If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD

Welcome to Adobe Forum,
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.
Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
   Windows:
   In windows 7 navigate to following location:
     /windows/system32/drivers/etc
   1. look out for "Hosts" file
   2. Open it with notepad
   3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
   4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
   Mac:
   1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
   2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
   3. Remove the entries and save the file
   4. try again launching any product from CC
You can refer :

Why is it asking for a serial number that isn't on the box?

So I am trying to reinstall my iwork from the install DVD and it keeps asking for a serial number that doesn't seem to exist on the box. HELP!

Yes AppZapper is good but there are things it doesn't find, like the file Peter told you about. There are very recent posts about this issue.
