Serial number removed during the installation of El Capitan
It's more about post a solution rather than a question.
On my a MBPro 2010 I have that I gave to my mother that I upgraded from Yosemite to El Capitan. After the installation, a dialog box kept popping up asking for a password to iCloud. Entering it, she would get the fan of spinning of death and he locked the computer... also I was unable to download the updates.
After a quick search on the internet I found an article to check if the serial number has been removed... and after I checked, he said order number; Not available.
The same internet article provided a method for reinstalling the serial number, but they wanted me to install a third-party program to do... I was not comfortable doing that.
I went to the local Apple dealer/repair and they sent me to call Apple. I did and had to go to second level support and they asked mt to re - install El Capitan. Done under Apple ID my mother and mine, the MBPro still shows under my name, and nothing has changed.
Is returned to the local Apple retailer and they ran diagnostics and find nothing, but when they had to enter the serial number to run the diagnostic program is re-entered the serial number and everything seems to be fine. Lucky for me that this has been done before they charged me $120 bench tax.
I hope this helps someone out there in the Appleverse...
Looks like you almost fell victim to a certain type of adware. Installation, upgrade or reinstall that OS will not mess with serial number.

During the installation, he keeps asking register previous serial number. Any suggestions?
Hi santiagorfp,
I checked your account & I see that you have purchased the upgrade to Acrobat Pro DC November 2 & Acrobat Standard DC November 3.
Update requires the previous version of Acrobat serial key to activate, but the second is a purchase of full application (Acrobat Standard DC), and so it should not ask the serial number recorded previous product.
Make sure that you enter the series of Acrobat Standard DC key not key upgrade Acrobat Pro DC series.
Kind regards

Check your Adobe account online. If you have registered the software version should be shown there.
Never share your serial number publicly... anyone can use it.

Blue screen during the installation of windows 7
Hi guys, this is my first question. I have a problem during the installation of windows. A blue screen saying is displayed "STOP: c000021a {fatal system error}.
The initial session process or the process of the finished system unexpectedly with a status of 0 x 00000000 (0 xC0000001 0x001003f0).
The system stopped"I can't do anything else than the computer shutdown. Please help me
Could you provide your system specifications?
Are the upgrade from a previous version of Windows or to do a clean installation?
This is usually caused by hardware or software that is not compatible with Windows 7. If you have this problem, follow these steps:
Uninstall all antivirus software, and then restart your computer. Don't forget to enable antivirus software after you install Windows.
If the installation fails again, it may be a hardware incompatibility problem. Go to the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on the Microsoft website to see if your computer can run Windows 7.
If you have compatible hardware and your computer still stops responding, disable any unnecessary material. Remove (USB) universal serial bus devices. Remove or disable network cards, sound cards and cards of the series; and then restart the installation.
If the computer still stops responding during Setup, contact your manufacturer computer or your retailer.

Does not let you choose: "Install the project in the trial" during the installation
I can't be able to select the option "Install as trial" during the installation of Flash catalyst. The only option I have is to enter the serial number.
No idea why? Im running Windows XP.
See you soon
Hey,.
The installer of Flash Catalyst beta 2 will not let you install as a trial, you really do not have to enter the serial number that is provided on the download page (at the bottom of this page here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=labs_flashcatalyst).
Let me know if it works for you!
Thank you

Updated since version 7 or 8 during the installation SETUP message - your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to restart now? Options are 'yes or no'. Option 'Yes' restarts my computer & the attempts to Firefox, I get the same message. Reboot several times has no effect. The option 'no' closes the file and nothing happens. Running XP Pro version 2002 SP 3. All normal programs have been updated to the current date (Adobe, Java, etc.).
Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current version of Firefox if possible.
- Do not remove the data of a personal nature when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.
