Anyway, I was tying to transfer Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom to my new computer, when I realized I did not have the original serial number ! I called the folks at Adobe and even though I showed them a receipt with a transaction number and account number they said they could not find the serial number, because it was not registered with them. They said the serial number is usually on the sleeve of the disk it came with. Of course if I had the original sleeve I wouldn't be calling them ?
However , when I plugged in the serial number I was 4 figures short ! The first 4 digits were missing from that serial number. RATS ! Adobe went out of their way so people could not steal their software, but at the same time they made it hard for people switching computers down the line !
There are websites that publish serial numbers that allegedly work for Adobe CS5. These may or may not work and doing so may constitute a violation of copyright and IP laws. We do not condone piracy or unauthorized use!
