my serial number is gone and I can't activate windows 7. is there a solution?
Piriform speccy tried to find the original serial number on my system, but it can't find the serial number of the oem version, I had to download to get my system working again. All my previous files have been saved in a Windows folder: old but the laptop thinks that the version of windows 7 is brand new and not an addition to one that was already there.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.
Option 1:
If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.
Option 2:
If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.
Option 3:
If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

I don't understand. I've been typing in microsoft word, and he just disappeared! I'm going to restore and quoted in the area as being deleted, so I go back to August 1 and restore and then it turns back on and try to put microsoft word and it says it can't because it can't find the file. Then I go in the microsoft security essentials antivirus I have and it won't come on either, says it does not. I have an icon on my desktop for google chrome and I click it and it says the same thing. Fortunately, I keep an additional internet browser so I could go to the line. I uninstall microsoft word completely because that annoying box keeps popping up on. So I try to uninstall security essentials and it says that it cannot do so, to install it again but when I try to do what it says I have to get rid of the old security essentials. In the middle of this chrome turns, but I don't know if the icon on my desktop will work or not and I don't know if I'm safe right now. That's happened? I tried everything to find microsoft word and he's not here.
I have a windows XP and the computer is only two years old. This morning before all this happened, I uninstalled security essentials and put on a new one just if I have the updated version and it worked fine, and then all this happens. I will say also that for a while now my computer wanted to update microsoft Word 2003 but can never do. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to do now?Hi Jan. Welcome to MS responses.

Hi I bought Acrobat Pro for my pc a few years ago. now, I spent from the pc to the mac, but can't seem to reinstall Acrobat Pro. Managed to download the program, but the serial number is not recognized. Can I still use my Acrobat Pro purchased on my mac?
probably not.
you need a platform swap (Exchange a product Adobe of a different version of the language or platform) but which is only supported for the latest versions of adobe.
You can get the upgrade pricing and exchange platforms, or use an abonnemement DC acrobat and use on both platforms.

I bought the Adobe Creative Suite master collection over the past two years with my old mac. I bought a new mac, can I continue to use the old serial number? If not, where can I get the serial number? Where I am, I guess that contact to?
Yes, your license allows you to have two facilities activated simultaneously, so if you want to you can have both machines busy and active so that there is a backup should it come in handy. You can also contact Adobe via chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you have one (or two) released for a new installation.

Hello. Accidentally, I bought the Adobe Lightroom 6 box set (CD ROM) support when I need to download the application. I opened the package and now can not return it. Is there a way I can be provided with a license so that I can download the software and avoid paying twice for the product? I can return the package open, if necessary. He was ordered on Amazon.ca. Thank you

Any incorrect serial number installation problem with PES 12 - PE 12 Windows or Mac?
http://forums.Adobe.com/message/5711110#5711110
Today, I went from 12 elements of Photoshop and first elements 12 tries at versions purchased in a box that came with two installation disks. One of the drives was of 12 items of Photoshop and elements 12 Windows first and the other of these versions on Mac.
On the desktop Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit, I was struck with the wrong serial number for Photoshop elements 12 installation I did first. Tried 4 x, double and triple checking for you sure this wasn't 'user error '. It was not the case. The 5th test, purchased serial number was accepted and the installation went to a success.
Tonight a friend alerted me to similar reports occurs for many users of Photoshop Elements Mac 12. See the link at the top of my post.
At no time see this problem with the installation of first elements 12 from the same disc with respect to the installation of 12 Photoshop elements.
Subsequently, I installed these programs with the same installation disc on my laptop 8 64-bit Windows, I have no problems with the installation.
For now, I don't know if this incorrect serial number is elusive to 12 items in Photoshop or not.
If someone experiences this problem with Premiere Elements, please let us know.
From the link above, it seems that Adobe is working on the issue.
Thank you.
