Gregory Peter Snowden, the error in your recent post is just stating that the online registration service is no longer available. It was replaced by the process listed in Find your serial number several years ago.
While you have access to your Creative Suite 5 serial number I would encourage you to complete the registration process on this will help you protect your software license if you need it again in the future.
Serial numbers can vary. If you feel that you have retrieved the serial number then you can complete the registration process to confirm. Adobe does not endorse the use of any software titles to attempt to retrieve your license.
I am unsure what process they are using to decode the serial number from different licensing files or registry entries. This is part of the reason we moved to a mandatory registration process in later versions of Creative Suite.
"I purchased a download of Photoshop CS6 on my computer and I want to transfer it to a new computer. I need the serial number (product key) but I can't find it. How do I find my Adobe Photoshop CS6 serial number on computer?"
People are not used to backing up the serial number after they installed Adobe products like Photoshop CS5, CS6 or Lightroom and they don't know where and how to get the serial number back next time. Actually, after we activate the Adobe product, the serial number or product key will be saved on our computer. In this post, we will walk you through three effective ways to find Adobe Photoshop CS5/CS6 serial number on computer.
It is the most effective and easiest to get Photoshop CS5 or CS6 serial number by third party tool. Software Key Finder is a very trustworthy and easy-to-use tool that helps you find the product key or license number of most software including Windows system, MS Office, Adobe, etc. The guide below is about how to find Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS6 serial number by Software Key Finder.
Step 3: Here you can find one or several folders named after number, which contain the registries of different versions of Photoshop like Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop Element. Click them and then you can find the serial number on the right panel. But the displayed serial number is encrypted and you need to decrypted it with decryption tool.
All in all, you can try to use the ways mentioned above to find the serial number of Adobe Photoshop CS5 or CS6 on your computer. Besides, they are also available when you need to find other Adobe products like Lightroom, Bridge, Premiere Pro, etc. But not all the ways are workable. It's the most effective and easiest way to find product key of software by Software Key Finder.
The error "The license for this product has expired" is unrelated to the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." An expired license means that a serial number, which is no longer valid, is still stored in the pcd.db database file. The valid serial number you received with your purchased product didn't overwrite the expired serial number during the installation process. Removing the expired serial number allows you to enter your valid serial number.
CS2 activation servers' shutdown: In January 2013, Adobe Photoshop CS2 (9.0), with some other CS2 products, was released with an official serial number, due to the technical glitch in Adobe's CS2 activation servers (see Creative Suite 1 and 2).
The serial number panel accepts serial numbers that have been revoked, but the serial numbers are denied at the time of activation. For troubleshooting information, see Activation and deactivation Adobe Products.
Note: We allow you to install on two computers per serial number. If you have done so, but want to install the product on a new machine, you must first deactivate the software on one of your computers. To deactivate, either choose Help > Deactivate or check the Deactivate checkbox during the uninstall process.
Enter the serial number for the software you purchased in the serialization screen. The serialization screen will load the first time you launch the application. You can enter a serial number for the application itself or a serial number for any Creative Suite that contains the application. If the product you purchased is one of the Creative Suites, you can enter the serial number in any of the applications contained in the Creative Suite. Other applications installed as part of the same Creative Suite will recognize the new serial number the next time the applications are launched.
Only applications running as a trial will recognize the new serial number. If any of the applications have already been serialized with a different serial number, they will continue to use that serial number until you remove the older serial number using Help > Deactivate > Deactivate Permanently. After selecting this option, they will recognize the new serial number on the next launch of the application.
Volume licensing customers cannot purchase from a trial directly. However, a volume licensing serial number can be used to serialize all Creative Suite applications, except the Acrobat 9 trial or retail versions that ship with Creative Suite. Photoshop CS5.1 volume licensing software must be purchased from an authorized Adobe licensing center. Please contact your reseller or authorized Adobe licensing center to place an order for a volume license. To find a reseller in your area, go to
Backward Licensing PolicyAdobe allows program members to order a current-version license but to use a prior version. These members can contact Adobe Customer Service to request a serial number for the earlier version if they do not already have one. 2ff7e9595c
