Re-installation of Acrobat fails for allegedly wrong serial number

Hi.
I have problems re-installing Acrobat 8 (CS3) on Windows 7 64bit, the program claims a wrong serial number. By mistake of course, since I use the original DVD. The history seems to be important.
History: I installed CS3 years ago, including Acrobat 8, and it ran smoothly all the time. Spring this years, I migrated to Windows 7, still everything was fine.
Last week I installed a trial version of FrameMaker 12; Creative Cloud was installed also, though I didn't want to. Some days later I missed the Acrobat icon, looked for the folder "Acrobat 8.0" and found it quite empty. And found a new folder "Acrobat 11.0" including acrodist.exe but no Acrobat 11.
To get it running again, I re-installed Acrobat 8 from the CS3 DVD. Worked o.k., but entering the serial number (and pressing "Activate") leads to a message "Invalid Serial Number". What? How can this be?
Well, o.k. Acrobat 8 is not up-to-date, but I want to use my stuff. Anyone knows what I can do?
Thanks,
Guido

After all, I got it fixed:
I uninstalled Acrobat and re-installed it (both via CS installer). I thought, that should have been the same as repairing, but obviously, it isn't as easy.

Adobe wont update my CS 5, it says i have the wrong serial number. I have 2 serial numbers with my account, how do i switch the serial number in CS 5 to the other number?

David,
To switch, I am afraid you will have to reinstall using the other one.
But that should hardly be necessary.
If you can find no way, you may try a chat here,

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.

Wrong serial number premiere pro 2.0

I have premiere pro 2.0 installed on my computer but it doesn't work. I think I originally put in the wrong serial number. It doesn't let me change it no matter how many times I reinstall the program. Is it still possible to change the serial number?

No... you need to UN-install and start over
Also, you MUST download and use the SPECIAL VERSION from http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l because your original version will not work because the activation server no longer exists

Need serial number to upgrade CC membership to Teams package

Hi all,
I wonder if someone can help me.
I want to upgrade my Adobe Creative Cloud membership to the teams package but need to have my serial number to do so. I can't find it anywhere - don't have my original email - and haven't been able to find it using some of the other recommended methods. For example, if I log into my account and look at my products/services I don't have the option to view my serial number there, and none of the recommendations I have read in the other forums work for me.
Is there anything else I can do to find my serial number?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
              Find your serial number quickly
              Please click above to find serial numbers.
              Here, it depends on which serial number you are looking for, prepetual [ retail / education ] or volume licensing, The common error people do is, use non volume licensing serial number to upgrade to creative cloud for teams.
              The upgrade to Cloud teams for $49.99 ( this is the current offer for existing customers ).
              In case if you do not have a volume licensing serial number of CS3 and above, I am sorry to let you know, you do not qualify for the this offer.
              But not to worry, it's never late if you are determied about something. Note: Cloud 'Always' has the latest version of features that comes', does not go with upgrade scenario, just update, which is simple then all times.
              You can contact your neareset reseller and purchase any CS6 current version volume licensing software of the least price, and then go for the creative cloud for teams. [ This is just to get the current offer going on for cloud teams ].
              In case if you do not want to purchase a volume licensing product, you can just subscribe to " Creative Clouds for Teams" at $69.99 which is a good price too, do this only if you need to have more people added under one account and not to use Credit Card details more then once.
              Cloud teams may be costly for a normal being, I would suggest you go with normal creative cloud. Be a simple being, unless you are under any organization

Wrong serial number?

I got lightroom 5 on a CD when I purchased a new Canon 6D. (I have Lightroom 3 from earlier) As I don´t have a CD player in my Macbook Air, I downloaded the trial version. When I try to activate it by using the serial number on the CD, I get the message: wrong serial number. What is wrong?

Celter please try registering your serial number for Lightroom 5 to test for it's validity. You can find more details at Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.

How to fix when wrong serial number is sent to a customer

Hi,
We are using SAP Business One 9. We have some items managed by serial number. Occasionally, someone will ship a customer the wrong serial number (vs. the serial number they have picked for the Invoice). What is the best way to fix this? Do we need to do a credit memo to get the incorrect serial number showing back in stock, and then a new Invoice with the correct serial number that they were shipped - or is there a better way to fix this?

HI Theresa,
how about updating the serial numbers directly?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sbo900/helpdata/en/45/2364f39e152b31e10000000a1553f7/content.htm

Re: Qosmio X300 - "Wrong serial number" if I install hardware setup

Hi!
My computer is Qosmio X300-11W. I've jist installed a new Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit.
I installed all drivers from the list wich I recieved from Toshiba's technical support. But the problem came up when I tried to install "Hardware Setup", I've got a message "Wrong serial number". I can't understand which serial number is wrong.

Hi
As far as I know this error message appears if your mainboard was exchanged from an authorized service provider and they did forget to set the correct serial number.
So I think you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. The technicians can try to help you.
Here you can search for an ASP:

Serial number problem upgrading from Tryout and 5.1 to 5.5 CS Standard

Hi
Long one...!
I bought a new iMac and CS5.5 Design Standard. Installed it. Didn't have my education serial at the time so ran as trial. All good.
Received serial from Adobe. Put it in and Indesign was OK with it and upgraded to 5.5, but others stayed as Tryouts. Reinstalled, same problem.
Contacted Adobe who said the serial was for Windows. After much messing around they issued another serial. Put it in. It changed when I put the disk in to try and reload. (Last four digit box changes itself to XXX). Other two packages went from Tryout to 5.1.
Uninstalled whole package and reinstalled using the code Adobe Support gave me. Indesign back as 5.5 but other two still only 5.1
Why might this be?
You don't have to read the following but it may help.
Thank you for answers or suggestions. At wits' end here!
Sam

When I inserted the disk it came up with the serial loaded as ...............7313-xxx
Deleted all and reinstalled, IT! changed my code as above to ...............6201 and all seemed promising….... etc.!

Have you bothered to do any research at all? Not every app was upgrade to 5.5. Those that weren’t will next be upgraded to CS6.

Lightroom 4 purchased through Apple App store does NOT have a serial number - cannot upgrade to lightroom 6

I am trying to upgrade from Lightroom 4.4 to Lightroom 6 on a Mac running OS X (Lion). I have purchased Lightroom 6 as an upgrade (as I am running Lightroom 4). The Lightroom 6 installer continues to indicate that it cannot find a "qualifying product" and asks for a declaration of the Lightroom product installed and its serial number. I am currently running Lightroom 4 purchased through the Apple App Store in 2013; according to all the information I can glean regarding this product... it does not have a serial number (if it was purchased through the Apple App Store). Does anyone have an idea on how to supply a valid serial number for the Lightroom 6 installer?
iMac running OS X 10.9.5
Adobe Lightroom 4.4 (purchased in 2013 through Apple App Store)
Adobe Lightroom 6 (purchased online as an upgrade from Adobe Lightroom 4.X)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bruce

As I said in the post, a serial number was not necessary to install it; the Apple downloadable version doesn't seem to be serialized. I have not uninstalled Lightroom 4; it is still running, but apparently in its present form it doesn't provide a serial number for the Lightroom 6 upgrade to use.

Invalid Serial number during upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5

I upgraded our Xserve from 10.4.11 to 10.5 and when it first boots after the install, I get to the enter serial number screen. At this point the 10.5 serial number I enter goes through validating and then says invalid serial number format. I have several serial numbers I have tried so I know that a wrong serial is not the cause. I have tried connecting from another computer with server admin and changing the serial number that way, which when, I do shows the 10.4 serial number but then says invalid serial when entering the 10.5 serial. It seems like it is confused on what the serial number or format should be. Is there a way to manually install a serial number or at least get past it so I can then install the most recent update and hope that fixes this issue? I see there were some similar issues with the 10.5.8 update but I think the install dvd is only 10.5 or 10.5.1 maybe.

Well I finally got past it by ssh'ing into the server while it was at the serial number page and issuing it this command and specifying my serial number
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xsvr-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
I then rebooted the server and it came back to the same enter serial number screen but upon entering it one more time, it validated and is happy now.
