What version of Photoshop? (Just to know whether activation is at issue here or not.)

Are you sure you’re not mistyping any character when reading from the label containing your serial number? It’s easy to mistake a zero for a letter o, for instance.

If you don’t have the original media, where are you getting the serial number from? Some versions only show you a partial serial number on the splash screen, knocking off four digits.

If everything fails, contact Customer Service (NOT "tech support"!). They will check on your registration for you, if your copy is registered, as it should be.

Use the Contact button at the top of this page to get the phone number.

Buko,

I had assumed that was a typo. If it’s not a valid number, forget all I said.

Don’t copy and paste.

Try entering your S/N manually.

And lower case i at the beginning of a sentence makes it italic and you lose the i.

Is everyone saying if you don’t register the program you are likely to get this message at start up saying the name and seial # cannot be found. The funny thing is that when you fire up PS the first screen displays the name and serial #. Why then does this message come up afater PS has gone through the startup procedure.

If you don’t register you are not entitled to updates and such. If someone were to steal your number and register because you didn’t you would be out of luck.

about the serial number being invalid you need to talk to Customer service.

CS2 requires activation. You must register AND activate the software.

If anybody anywhere on the planet has already used that serial number to activate it, you won’t be able to use Photoshop.
