Why isn't Photoshop accepting my serial number?

I had Photoshop CS4 installed on my laptop for two years without any major issues. The laptop recently broke so I got a new one and I cannot install Photoshop there because it says my serial number is invalid. How can this be? It worked fine before and the number is clearly printed on the DVD case.

Since this is a serial number issue you can't post serials in public forums, I would do one-on-one chat support for activation:

Where did you purchase your copy of Photoshop? My one concern is that the serial #/product was counterfeit:

If you determine that's the case, let me know and send me an email/private message. jtranber at adobe dot com

  • Why does adobe not accept my serial Number from Elements 3.

    can't install elements 3

    Welcome to the forum.
    As has been pointed out, you are referring to Photoshop Elements. There are enough differences between the Elements versions, and Photoshop (Ps Elements' "big brother"), that it will be best to Move your post to the very active and helpful Photoshop Elements Forum. Your link, and any e-mail subscriptions will follow.
    Good luck,

  • Photoshop Elements 6 won't accept my serial number... How do I fix this?

        I had to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop elements 6 to my Windows 7 computer because the brushes were glitching on me, and now it won't accept my serial number to register it to my computer. I received it from a bundle package when I installed my tablet back in 2008ish. The warning is "A problem was encountered while trying to send information over the Internet". I have retyped it several times to make sure I put the right number without any luck either.

  • I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

    I started using LT 4 and I have a serial number, also upgraded to LT 5 and have a serial number. Now I just bought a new Macbook Pro and installed the LT 5, but it doesn't accept my serial number. Why?

    When you installed the Lightroom 5 on your MacBook, did it ask for both serial numbers. Since you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade, you need both the serial number from your original purchase as well as the new serial number for Lightroom 5. If you have both of those numbers and they are still not being accepted then you will have to contact Adobe customer support for a solution.

    1) Apps are not part of the backup, only data stored by 3rd party apps. But you can redownload the apps for free again if you use the same account you did when you bought them the first time. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    2) See this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 and find out what's in your backup.
    3) Backup your itunes+ library (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1382 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751), which will copy your Mobile Applications folder, and save your iphone backup folder as well
    In other words, maintaining a backup of your computer is essential.
    When you resync your apps from your computer to the phone, make sure your computer is authorized again. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • Photoshop CS5 Invalid Serial Number

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 on EBay, sealed and unopened with the Adobe Genuine sticker on the box, PN: 65073555. When I installed the software it said my serial number was invalid. This should not be happening. What is wrong and how can I get it to accept the serial number provided?

  • Installation will not accept my serial number to install Adobe 8

    I have a Dell XPS M1530, laptop.  I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my computer in March, and  the program worked correctly.  I had Windows Vista on my computer.  I just did a clean installation of Windows 7 to replace Vista.  I cannot reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 because Adobe installation will not accept my serial number.  Adobe tech support tells me my serial number is for version 6.0 of Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe no longer supports version 6.0..Please give me advice on how to install.

  • Won't accept my Serial number PSE11

    I'm trying to install PSE11 on a Windows XP machine.  It won't accept the serial number, I'm sure there is no typo.
    What do I do now?
    Carl

    My copy of PSE11 was already registered but I have installed it on two computers.  I thought that you could have it on 3 if you only used it one at a time.  I see that it is 2, so that is my problem.  I am trying to get an old program to work on an XP computer which will not run on my Windows 8.  The program requires that a copy of photoshop be available on the XP computer. I'll try to install a trial version on the XP so that I can run this test.
    Thanks for your help.
