Adobe Cs4 Serial Number Rejected

If your serial number is for a different language than the installation language you select (for example, you purchased a German Creative Suite, but attempt to install it in English), you will get an invalid serial number error. Reinstall the product, choose the correct language, and enter the serial number when prompted.

adobe cs4 serial number rejected

The Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool is designed to run after you uninstall your Adobe application. Run the appropriate uninstaller to remove the application producing the invalid serial number error first, and then run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.

Once installed, simply register with the credentials you received upon purchasing the product. If you do not have your registration details either, I would suggest chatting with an Adobe representative to discuss your options: -productkb/global/find-serial-number.html (simply click the Chat Now button at the bottom of the page).

If you have received a message similar to the ones displayed below when trying to install your product, stating the serial number you are using is invalid, or has been revoked, it is because the serial number you are attempting to use has been blocked by Adobe.

Adobe blocks serial numbers that have not been issued by Adobe, or have been used fraudulently by unauthorized sellers to produce counterfeit software. Unfortunately, you may only know the serial number has been blocked for this reason when re-activating or reinstalling Adobe software.

Note: This solution can lead to the problem application, as well as other Adobe applications, asking for the serial number again.Alternatively, you can rename or delete the folders in the virtual store and relaunch the application:

I have deactivated and uninstalled my registered copy of Photoshop CS4 from Windows 7 and tried to reinstall it on a new clean Windows 10 installation using the same registration number, but the number keeps being rejected as invalid. I have checked and rechecked it three times with no luck. How can I re-register my software?

In case this is not a simple issue of semantics, and you really do mean "register", you can only register a product once. If you really mean "activate" then you could be using the wrong number as the serial number. Find your Adobe product serial number quickly

Thanks John. It is running fine in Windows 10, I have just had to tick the box to run it as a thirty-day trial as my serial number was not accepted. Adobe Support have just told me that CS4 is not compatible with Windows 10, but that I could pay to upgrade to CS6. The software is actually working fine in Windows 10, but they have blocked my old serial number. In other words they just want some money out of me ...
