Why is my serial number being rejected

I am trying to set up and my adobe is saying that my serial number is invalid

What "Adobe" are you trying to install, and what version number? (This is the forum for Adobe Reader and it doesn't need a serial number).
Are you seeing any mention of a "qualifying product"?

  • InDesign CS6 license number being rejected as "invalid"?

    Why is my new InDesign CS6 license number being rejected as "invalid" although it is the one that came with the disc and it is assigned to me on Adobe's license website?  I have a Mac.

    Contact serial number and licensing support. We can't do anything about that.

    The most likely explanation is that you downloaded the Creative Cloud version of Lightroom instead of the standalone version of Lightroom (which you can download from here).
    If that doesn't work, you'd need to provide a lot more details, including version of Lightroom, operating system, and exactly what you are doing that doesn't work.

  • Where is the serial number, it rejects all the invoice numbers

    I bought your on-line pdf creator and when I launch adobe 9 it wants a serial number but rejects everything I find that might be one in your emails as having inappropriate characters. What to do? Also I need to be able to set the size of the document to 6x9 and embed fonts and your program never asked about that...what's happening here? Goldie 914-500-5696. Thank you.

    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.

  • Why is my debit card being rejected when attempting to purchase music?

    Why is my debit card being rejected when attempting to purchase music?
    I have money in my card and am unsure as to why it is being rejected

    Is this the US store? How much is the item? Apple US store prices do not reflect sales tax which is added in the final steps of a sale. If your account credit does not cover the full cost, then you must have a bank card to charge the remainder of the balance. For whatever rason your bank card is being declined, so the sale cannot be finalized.

    No, those are generic numbers (same for everyone).

  • My Flash serial number is rejected

    Some background: I'm a master's degree student in an
    interactive journalism program. Current course is Flash. At prof's
    suggestion, I downloaded a CS3 trial version at the beginning of
    class several weeks ago because for some reason, tech support had
    not installed on my computer.
    Trial ran out this week so I took my laptop to university
    tech support, where I had the entire CS3 suite loaded.
    All works beautifully -- except Flash. I keep getting the
    window about my trial being expired. When I enter the university
    issued serial number, it's rejected. Even the tech support people
    are stumped.
    Has anyone else had this problem? What's the solution??
    Thanks!!!

  • Why is my serial number invalid?

    I purchased lightroom 5 and I verified that I am a student and received the email with the serial number and product code, but when I go to open lightroom it says the serial number is invalid.

    The protection system is so elaborate because people try to pirate the software incessantly and sometimes the elaborateness leads to fragility or misunderstanding about what to do.
    There are several different kinds of LR (educational, enterprise, standalone, cloud, etc) and if the serial number is being rejected and was bought at a legitimate reseller, rather than someone selling pirated or stolen serial numbers, then it is possible it is being typed into the wrong kind of LR or even the wrong version (4 vs 5). 
    If you are using an educational version there may be a separate download you need to use—I’m not sure because I’ve never purchased an educational version of LR, but if there is a distinct version to download then there should be some instructions, somewhere (packaging, e-mail), that tell you that different location.
    For a non-educational, non-enterprise, single-person standalone license, the version of LR 5 to download is the LR 5.6 link near the top left of this page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    If you have installed a different kind of LR, such as the CC version, then you may want to uninstall it before installing what you download from the link, above.

  • HT1349 why is the serial number not found on the records?

    my ipod nano's serial number is not found on the records, why?

    You don't. Why do you think there are any and why do you need it?  iOS apps don't need a S/N since all purchases are via the App Store and recorded there.

  • Indesign suddenly asking for serial number and rejecting the one I have

    Hi,
    This question is very similar to that of act_writ from 19/10/2014 ("Sudden trouble opening InDesign - serial number rejected")
    - I am asking again because that question was not answered.
    We have InDesign CS6 on a Mac, purchased last year with a student license. It always worked and opened the program without asking for a login. All of a sudden yesterday it asked for a login and the serial number, but it rejects the serial number I have received when purchasing the product.
    I am still a student so it should not have expired.
    Any help would be appreciated - I am pretty desperate as the customer support agent I contacted could not help me.
    Thanks!

    A serial should be ok if it was ok.
    Exceptions are: If the serial was used several times in a way which is causing doubts of its legal use, then will Adobe deactivate it (e.g. use of several serial in connection with illegal copies) or when Adobe shuts down the activation server as it was done with CS2, but the user could replace it with a common serial.
    Normal, with a running program it will never ask for a serial, only if the user clean up his computer and delete some folder and files where activation files are hidden. But in that case the serial should be inserted with the next start or in the wort scenario you might uninstall all programs and install them again to be able to enter the serial.
    For non English (including UK and US and International) versions users the serial can also fail when the localisation files are deleted.
    Maybe that you exchange the serial with some other number or a number from another product which was bundled?

  • Why does my Serial Number register as invalid?

    Can someone please tell me why my Serial Number keeps coming up as invalid when I try to register my Photoshop CS4 Extended which I purchased new from a store.

    After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box
