Why some thinapped apps still asking serial number when you try to move them to another OS?
Hi all, I noticed that some applications still require a serial number (even if they have been supplied correctly before packaging) when they are moved to another OS?
Iinteresting waiting for an interesting answer question, thak you all.
Short answer:
Because the company that made the software has invested some time to ensure their income...
Long version:
There are various reasons why the serial number can be lost/invalidated. Usually (more common) it is because during the installation, a fingerprint of the system has been filed and the software has detected that the system is no longer one that you've installed the software on. This can be a very simple (as the name of the computer) to the complex (os type, NIC MAC address, CPU ID, a serial... OS) validation. At some point, the software determines: enough is enough, I don't trust it more.
This problem existed before ThinApp or any other virtualization were introduced. Until a few years ago, it was common to "phantom", a role the same image on all systems in a company and system. Microsoft Office XP has been the finest example of an application of all uses and who did not like this mode of distribution. System admins had re - activate all systems in him the original CD.
Other blighters are servers that monitor how system uses what license and "trackers use' preventing you to reset the sandbox (using the account don't match no more on a server/local).
I hope that answers it. There are a lot of reasons, but it is most likely...
Kind regards

I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plugin is not recognize the format of my new Nikon D610. I've updated the version of my Camera Raw plugin and still get this message when you try to open pictures in photoshop. Help, please.
This link shows that 8.3 ACR supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
Camera Raw plugin | Supported devices
If you can switch to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to DNG to open in CS5.
Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Macintosh: Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter: for Windows: Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
And here's a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

Hi need help settin up LR6 download saved to desktop, then he asked me serial number again when I went to type the serial number it only let me type numbers and letters?

Serial numbers contain only numbers. You can have a redemption code that is used to obtain a serial number (or you are using the wrong serial number).

Images inactive when I try to move them to a folder to another (no duplicates) why?
I want to spend the images from a folder to another folder in Lightroom 4.4 (you want to rename them and etc) when I go to import and choose move or add or copy all the images in the folder are not active. I deselected that do not include duplicates suspected - but it is still inactive... Do I did wrong?
Since the images have already been imported into Lightroom, you do not use import for these images. You go to the library Module (but not the import dialog box), find the images and perform all operations you want on these images quite inside Lightroom. If you want to move them, you drag and drop entirely in Lightroom.
This looks like a better idea for future imports, import them directly into the folder desired, just here using the dialog box import (where you can rename photos as well).

Photoshop asking serial number when I have an active subscription to creative cloud
I bought an annual subscription to creative cloud and when I launch Photoshop and click on software license, it shows my correct adobe id but then asks me a serial number. How can I fix? I'm on Mac OS X v. 10.8.2
Hi Cujodvm,
If you have a beta version of Photoshop CS6 you want to uninstall and reinstall via Adobe Application Manager. Measure where it was installed via Adobe Application Manager you need to click on the button "license this software" and login with your Adobe ID
There is a problem with Photoshop CS6 specifically going on right now that the product returns to the trial after the launch of the 3rd or 4th, our team of engineers you consider this soon with another update of product. I know not if that is related or not.
We have this document on the issue

"Invalid serial number" when you install utilities Toshiba NB200-h-13
This model (h-13) is the student edition sponsored by the Government, used by thousands of Greek students and is not in the support downloads.
I made a new partition and installed XP Pro SP3, in addition to the standard XP Home. I downloaded all the drivers for the model printed on the label number (PLL25E-00401WMG, which I assume is NB200-122 in the Driver Downloads).
Most of the important Toshiba Utilities (value of hardware setup, Hotkey, added the logical device) terminate with the error "bad serial number.
As the Toshiba Utilities work fine in the standard installation (old)
1. is there a way to bypass the check for the installation of utilities Toshiba serial number?
2 are there downloads Toshiba NB200-h-13?
I did some readings from my previous post. It seems that in the 2nd installation of XP the Toshiba utility cannot read the DMI information stored in EEPROM memory, containing the serial number and model of the device. This is demonstrated by the fact that the Diagnostics Toshiba PC utility reports "Unknown" for the standard model, etc.
As a result, a third question emerges, which is absent from the new installation of XP that allows to read the DMI Info? I guess I should investigate all the services that are running in the original installation of XP, but my bet is that utilities that install these services are not accessible to the public.
The same utilities install perfectly under Windows 7 (Yes, I did another partition and it installed Windows 7). This means that Win7 has in DMI information tools, or Toshiba 7 installers do not check for her.
Always in the hope of some clues to the community.

Is there anyway to get a serial number when you threw the serial numberout by mistake?
How can I get a new serial number? I have inadvertantly thrown out number with the packaging!
Geoduck1952
As much as I know there is no option to acquire a new serial number - you must use the one assigned at the time of purchase. If you already have this software installed and registered with Adobe you should be able to find your serial number through your Adobe account online.
The serial number is usually on the case which holds the record. It seems unlikely that you would accidentally throw it, then you will want to check here.
