Adobe Licensing – Wrong Serial Version

By Craig Blanchette posted on April 16th, 2009

Recently, my client had some trouble with an upgrade from CS2 to CS4. When they put in the install dvd it looked for CS3 and complained because I sold them the wrong upgrade. I got some bad advice from Adobe sales that said I would have to return the product and re-sell them the correct upgrade.

I called Adobe customer service and things got a lot better!

They told me to install CS4 from the dvd and select 30 day trial. Once it was done I called Adobe back and control clicked on the enter your serial number screen. It popped up a challenge/response dialogue. I told Adobe the challenge number and they gave me a response code. After that CS4 was licensed and all good.

Before this would work you need to have a qualifying upgrade and give them the serial number.

Cheers!
