Upgrade of the LR5 LR6 refuses to validate the serial number LR6.
Hi I am trying to install LR6 update downloaded from Adobe.com. I installed LR5, but the serial number LR6 refuses to validate. What can I do?
It may be necessary to empty the hosts file. He gets sometimes dotted with additional ip address break subsequent attempts to activation and they should all be deleted.
What a Hosts file looks like normally.
Windows
Click Start > run, type % systemroot % \system32\drivers\etc and then press ENTER.
Right-click on the hosts file, and then select open. Select the application Notepad open the hosts file.
Save the hosts file: Choose file > save as, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
Look for the original hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and remove these entries.
Save and close to overwrite the file.
Mac OS x
Log in as an administrator to change the hosts file in Mac OS.
In a window of Finder, select go > go to folder.
Type/etc
Select the hosts file and open it.
Save the hosts file: Choose file > save as, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
Look for the original hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and remove these entries.
Save and close to overwrite the file.
NB. you may need to temporarily turn off security software to change your hosts file.

I don't know the serial number for LR4 - try to install the upgrade to LR6
I need help to install LR6. I bought the student version of the LR4 community college years but cannot find the serial number. How can up to complete installation of newly purchased LR6?
If you have purchased the version upgrade of the LR6 (not full version) you MUST have the serial number of the previous version to install the upgrade
Lost information - response #1 in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2008767
If the link above does not help, nobody here can help you... and if ever, you saved your previous version so that it shows in the system from Adobe, Adobe even will not be able to help
The only thing you can do is return your LR6 upgrade for a refund and buy the full version

How to solve the problems to validate the serial number for Acrobat Pro XI?
I have a PC with Win 7 OS. I bought Acrobat Pro XI for more than a year, but had problems to validate serial number, so I just kept using X Pro. Now, I have installed PRO XI. I could not enter its serial number. When I try to start the program, I find that a box appears on my screen. It contains, and I can't, I asks me to validate my serial number. Here is a picture of this box. The drop-down list on the left does not contain Acrobat Pro XI, but, oddly enough, the label top left confirms that this box appeared in the program Acrobat Pro XI. Very strange. Does anyone know of any other way to validate the serial number?
Hi 2722Ellie ,
It seems that the XI Acrobat pro program you have is a version upgrade.
For this, you can consult this article:- error: "this serial number is not for a product calling it" | Adobe Creative Suite
Let me know how it goes.
Kind regards

InDesign CS4 Installer cannot validate my serial number upgrade CS design premium
Hello, I need to use an older version of InDesign to work with one of my clients. I have the physical box of CS4, but I can't use this installer because it is on DVD and I just got a new iMac without a hard drive. So I downloaded of Abobe, InDesign CS4 Setup, but when I try to validate my code it does not work. My physical box of CS4 is a Design Premium UPGRADE version, but the InDesign Installer is not validate my old number CS3 either. I tried phone support, no use: no support for these former products supplied (shame). Since I regularly bought all my CS versions from a dealer here in Italy it's extremely embarrassing, and I lose a precious time for this instead of working on a project. Can anyone here help with this please? Thank you.
The product you are trying to install/activate must be the same product for which the serial number has been assigned originally. If the serial number is a suite then you must install using the suite. Each product can be installed outside the suite.
