If your serial number is for a different language than the installation language you select (for example, you purchased a German Creative Suite, but attempt to install it in English), you will get an invalid serial number error. Reinstall the product, choose the correct language, and enter the serial number when prompted.
The Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool is designed to run after you uninstall your Adobe application. Run the appropriate uninstaller to remove the application producing the invalid serial number error first, and then run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Adobe Photoshop Cs5 Serial Number Non Subscription E
It's late 2020 and this is where things stand right now. CS1, CS2 and CS3 are dead & gone. The aging activation servers failed and were taken offline years ago. Even if you find an installer, it's impossible to activate old software.CS4, CS5 and CS6 are on life support. But they can still be activated providing you have the following:1. original media (disks or downloads) you received at purchase and a way to read them,2. a legitimate serial number for that version, language and platform (Win/Mac),3. an older operating system that can support legacy 32-bit apps.--------------------------NOTE 1 : Creative Suite installers won't work on macOS Sierra, High Sierra or Mojave without terminal workarounds. See the help article below. -cloud/kb/install-creative-suite-mac-os-sierra.htmlNOTE 2: Creative Suite cannot run on Catalina. Either downgrade your OS, set-up a virtual machine or get all new, 64-bit software. Your choice. NOTE 3: Legacy Creative Suite is discontinued & unsupported. There is no such thing as a "forever license." Every product has an End of Life date. Eventually, all Creative Suite products will stop working. Use at your own risk.
can anyone help with this? I have CS5 Extended which I have had installed on my old pc for about 7 months until the pc crashed and burned. I admit to buying my copy off e-bay, I make no apologies for that as there is nothing wrong with looking for a bargain. I made every attempt to verify that it was a genuine unused copy, to the point of having e-mails from the seller should I need to look for redress on this. The first installation went fine but it would not let me register with Adobe, so I e-mailed the seller again. The program continued to work so I assumed it was a glitch with the installer ( a lot of people I have spoken have had issues with Adobe installers, especially on Windows based systems). Forward 7 - 8 months and my pc has crashed and burned, probably from expecting too much from my 9-year old creation. I now have a new monster with Windows 7 pro instead of XP 32-bit, SSD's etc., but this is causing no end of problems migrating all my programs, some of which are beyond salvation. However, like most of you out there, I find Adobe photoshop extremely expensive and cannot write this off. I look at the packaging, the disc and part numbers (?) for each individual piece of packaging including the 'Genuine Adobe' holographic label, the serial number and I do not believe (nor anyone else that sees it) that my copy is not genuine. Now upon installation, during the initial instal it accepts my serial number no problem, but when I first use it and am asked to register it, I get the message 'invalid serial number for this product'. From several threads I have found this seems quite common but have found no answer. Does anyone have a solution to this before the 'trial' period expires?
This doesn't ring true ssprengel, I've been doing some research after a totally unsatisfactory online chat with Adobe. The message I get is very specific in saying 'invalid serial number for this product' along with an exclamation mark in a YELLOW warning triangle. There are various explanations for this online (including from Adobe) but none of them specifically refer to pirated software. I am as convinced I have a genuine copy just as much as Adobe say my serial number is not recognised by their key checking software (they will not say outright that it is fake, just the serial number is not recognised). By going online and obtaining a different serial number I am able to start cs5 and enter this number to get the green tick and carry on in cs5 until the next time. The following time I start cs5 I get an exclamation mark in a RED TRIANGLE with the words 'invalid serial number' (without the 'for this product'). If you look for other error messages online there are several which may be of interest to you for your scenario, such as 'this serial number has been deactivated'. I should also point out also that when I enter an incorrect number to fool the program I am immediately kicked into touch the next time I start it, it will not carry on working, as you think, until the next time I have to reinstall it. As I said in my first post, cs5 had been running quite happily on my old pc for 7 - 8 months. The only issue I had then was that it would not let me register it with Adobe, but tis is nothing new to Adobe as there are many many posts online with exactly the same problem ( even with cs6 as posted only a few hours ago on this forum - perhaps someone would like to tell him that should his pc crash he will no longer have cs6!). After mulling it over for a few days I intend to take the product to my local photographic retailer who sells Adobe products (and who also holds classrooms for techniques including in the use of Adobe products) for an honest opinion, something that Adobe refused me. Also check Adobe's policies on support and you will find they will refuse support from products bought on e-bay and will also refuse support on products bought ANYWHERE at prices discounted more than either 20 or 25% (I shall have to confirm the exact ammount, but it is stated in their policy online). This brings into question the issues of restrictive practice and price fixing which are both illegal in the UK, just ask any bank. It also brings into question just what support a customer from my local photographic shop could expect from Adobe after purchasing a copy of cs5 for Mac for 399, reduced by approximately 250 ( more than 25%). And where does their policy leave someone who may be lucky enough to recieve it as a gift?
But not funding people to blab with you on the phone is different than arbitrarily disabling serial numbers that were legitimately purchased. I've never seen any evidence they have blacklisted or disabled any validly purchased licenses. Did you ever register your license with Adobe? Why not? All mine are listed right on the Adobe site to this day.
I have had the exact same issue. Software worked just fine for years. Reinstalled it as little as six months ago and the serial number was just fine. I have the software, I have the serial number and had almost the exact same conversation on chat when I tried to install it on my new machine. This is a work product, I use it every date, and I am up a creek without a paddle. I am trying to resolve the issue with the reseller now, but I don't think I will be purchasing Adobe products again. They are great products, but there are too many issues like this to make it worth while.
I just had the same thing happen to me. I purchased my Adobe Acrobat Pro from a legitimate store (locally), it worked fine for several years. In fact, the only reason I contacted Adobe support was to ask them if and/or how I should deactivate the software on my old computer in order to install it on my new computer. They gave me the "invalid" serial number excuse, even though I've been using this software for several years. I guarantee, it IS genuine software, and it IS a valid serial number. They either don't want to let me install it to my new computer (because I'm not buying new software), or they've somehow never processed my registration years ago. (When I logged in on the Adobe site, they had my profile active, but there were NO products listed in my profile, despite the fact that I have TWO Adobe Acrobat programs (the other is on a different computer).
I don't think I'll ever purchase Adobe products again after this experience. I feel they very casually wrote off my situation without doing any further research. Here's a concern I have: what if someone obtained MY serial number somehow? Far fetched, I suppose. But, another issue: why aren't my product registrations in my profile on the Adobe site? I did register both of them when I purchased them. I'm just really chapped about all of this. I guess it's time I just downloaded an open-source program that does the same thing as Acrobat. No point in wasting money with Adobe if they are forcing me to give up software I paid good money for.
The error "The license for this product has expired" is unrelated to the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." An expired license means that a serial number, which is no longer valid, is still stored in the pcd.db database file. The valid serial number you received with your purchased product didn't overwrite the expired serial number during the installation process. Removing the expired serial number allows you to enter your valid serial number.
I bought Adobe Photoshop cs5 together with my macbook pro on 2010-11 with already install Adobe Photoshop cs5, I don't remember if Apple Shop if they give me the CD or I lost? - First I need know where I can find the serial number of the software in all the Photoshop folders on my computer, - and where I can find my Adobe Photoshop cs5 if is a 32-bit or 64-bit ??? - (I need 64-bit).
If you purchased you Mac with CS5 Pre installed If you did not receive the installation media and your own serial number with you mac you may be out of luck. The pre installed Mac CS5 Photoshop may have been activated for bulk license held by the mac retailer or Apple. If you do not see CS5 as one of you Adobe products with your serial in you Adobe account on Adobe.com you may not have a licence. You may need to work with the retailer you purchased your Mac from. I do not know if there is a serial number saved on your machine. Activation servers write hidden activation credentials on your machine. A Mac key finder may not find a serial number on your machine. 2ff7e9595c
