old serial number invalid, apparently too short?

Hello

I tried to install After Effects CS4 upgrade (pc, 6.5 standard). He accepts the new serial number, said while my old serial number is not valid. Apparently it contains only 20 characters instead of 24.

I just moved house and all my stuff is in stock, so I can't lay my hands on the box to check the number out there, but the coming of the number on screen for my current AE is only 20 characters long-someone ' one can tell me if their number on the screen is shorter than that of the case?

I could have sworn that I registered this product and my copy of Photoshop, but are such emerging saved... I contacted support and they say that I need to check the case of jewel - can't argue with that, really, but I try to work if I want to access my stuff in stock... is worth a lot of hassle to discover the case only has a 20 digit code too.

Anyone got any help/ideas/suggestions?

Thank you

The serial number listed on the box about clips the last 4 digits. You will need to find the original package to install. I'm sorry. There is a chance customer service can search your old information, but I'm not 100% sure if they can or not.

    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.

  • Problem location old serial number

    Hello

    I bought and downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on my PC in Windows 8. I'm launching the app for the first time and request the serial number from a previous version of the product.

    However, I've never used the trial version of DC and Acrobat Reader and do not remember getting a serial number for either. In addition, any old serial numbers appear in my online account.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Clive

    Hello

    It calls for the old serial number when you buy the upgrade of the product.

    Otherwise you will be prompted to type the serial number of the product you have purchased.

    Please check if it's an upgrade or the full desktop version.

    If by mistake you have ordered the upgrade, you can get it exchanged by consulting the following link.

  • Old serial number help?

    I have an old serial number of Photoshop that does not work... what to do?  Cannot save it.

    To register your serial number, you must first sign in to your Adobe account.

    Under Manage account > section Plans and products, you can register your serial number.

    This should be the number of 24 digits, not the code of redemption with letters and numbers, that we discussed in the other post.

    said serial number invalid-i he got an e-mail from adobe. (Edition of student standard of the design of the CS6).

    Thanks Vikrant Rai. It turned out to be very simple - I used the full version (I bought cs6 in Polish), I installed the trial in English to all upgrade to the full version (after getting my series by email from adobe) I did not know that I have to install once again in Polish. Besides-, it would be VERY HELPFUL if adobe users could change the language of the program AFTER the INSTALLATION. I made a mistake by buying the Polish version and now I have to use for the next two years ([I am more familiar with my programs in English:]).

  • Motherboard model H535 failure - the type of machine and the serial number invalid after replacement

    Does anyone know how to set the new Type of Machine and the serial number after a motherboard for a replacement model H535?

    The motherboard has recently failed on my model H535 (7 months after the expiration of the warranty - thanks, Lenovo). No local garage would agree to replace due to its nature of owners (thanks, Lenovo). I spent about four hours on the phone being bounced into back-and-forth between the many support staff (usually combined) Lenovo in sales, technical support, support of parts of IBM and various other departments (thanks, Lenovo), which one has suggested that I might have to try to find a motherboard on Ebay or Amazon for my computer in less-than-2-year-old. However, I finally get to someone at Lenovo, which has been able to sell a motherboard - for 2/3 of the cost of the original computer.

    Now, I installed the motherboard, and it works. However, during each boot, I get a POST with two beeps error which reads as follows:

    00CE error: Machine Type and serial number is INVALID

    Start of manufacturing sequence is taken if no selection is made

    I presume that the BIOS on the new motherboard must be programmed with the right Type of Machine and the serial number of my computer. I've read various things on the Internet about what to do, as updating the BIOS (I can not even find a BIOS under "downloads" of support for the H535 - thanks, Lenovo model), using WinPhlash (I apparently need one kind of BIOS ROM file to make it work, I don't have), getting a Lenovo hardware maintenance disk for my model (which apparently isn't available for other special people only me - thanks Lenovo), etc.

    The waiting time for Lenovo support are ridiculously long, and almost every customer support person is ridiculously uninformed on the difference between one of their computer models, and even less their motherboards (thanks, Lenovo). I am amazed and extremely frustrated. It shouldn't be rocket science.

    On a side note, I initially bought the computer from Staples with a credit card with extended warranty protection, which means I can get a refund for repair. Although the motherboard came with a packing list, no Bill has been provided by Lenovo, and I couldn't make them send one - or maybe even with success to explain what a Bill is (thanks, Lenovo).

    Well, Lenovo support was useless, and any alleged authorized suppliers were in fact still suppliers or could help with my problem. But I was finally able to fix it myself. Once I found the right piece of software, it has been fixed in less than a minute.

    My BIOS is by American Megatrends, and I discovered that they have a set of utilities that includes a called AMIDEDOS. It is intended for manufacturers to be able to change the strings of text stored in the BIOS for things like the manufacturer, product name, Version, number series, UUID, SKU number, family, etc., that is what I had to do. It is not intended for use by consumers, but it's there.

    When I ran the "DMIEdit.exe" program AMIDEDOS (clicked and ran as administrator from 10 Windows) and click on "System information" from the list, I saw "Product Name | STRING | Invalid' and ' serial number | STRING | NOT VALID ". The other fields appeared to have valid entries. I double-clicked on the fields valid and changed their "H535 model" and the serial number of my computer, respectively and then clicked on "Update all" at the top.

    Much to my surprise, he reported that he had successfully registered the new information. And, perhaps even more surprising is the fact that, when I rebooted, the double beep and the warning about the type of computer not valid and serial number have disappeared. In addition, the BIOS showed I had entered the new values, and the 'Manufacturing Boot Sequence' option (I understand can be much slower than a normal boot) had disappeared.

    Again, I'm a little surprised simple it was actually solve the problem once I got the correct software, or Lenovo part nor American Megatrends apparently offers to the owners, and it took hours and hours of research and research to understand. Use this information at your own risk, however, as playing with BIOS apparently can lead to problems not easily solved. That said, the modification of these text strings seems relatively safe.

    I will mention that I also ended up changing the method of "LEGACY" to "UEFI" boot in the BIOS after noticing that the selection.
