If the serial number was just in a plaintext file it’d be too easy to hack. Adobe makes their licensing very complicated in an attempt to thwart pirates. It may be in the registry or in an encrypted file.

If you still had your laptop and it was a Windows computer, then there is a program you could have run to find the serial number, but without still having the computer with the software installed on it I don’t think you can find it, yourself.

The easiest thing would be contact your friend, but maybe that is no longer possible. Your friend owns the product and you didn’t otherwise document what it was. If you have a disk image of the laptop then maybe, but otherwise, no. Quick and simple.I think you’re out of luck finding the serial number in a simple files backup. I still do a lot of editing in Faststone Viewer. Haven't used it a lot, but it seems good. Log in to Adobe, go to your account and go to Plans & Products I can get serial numbers from software I registered 10 years and two emails ago. Changing the email doesn't clear the list. If you registered your copy with Adobe it will/should show up in your purchases list. Oh, your issue is like my Password loss problem ,no matter what files lost from Windows, to recover them back as soon as possible, you need ask tool for help , Just wait patiently in the decryption process. But please note the displayed serial number is encrypted and you can’t use it to install Adobe CS6 software until you decrypt the serial number using a tool like "Belarc Advisor" or "Recover Keys". There you can find the PhotoShop CS6 serial number in the right pane. Step 2: In Registry Editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Adobe\Photoshop \60.0. I guess you did this(but for elements not CS)? I downloaded Premiere Elements from Amazon digital a few years back, lost it when my drive died and all I had to do was log in, download it again and they email the code to you. There is noway I have money to spend on your products.Īnd you spoke to them directly and had the old email address and password? So adobe requires a serial number that I have no access to. Now adobe says there us nothing they can do. It was registered under an email I no longer have. Magical Jelly Bean or Nirsoft Keyfinder/ProduKey might be able to get your laptop license key for you.Īlso, if you registered your copy, you can log into with your AdobeID and it should have it listed there. you need to slide the color slip cover off. On the inner white box lower left corner. I have elements 14 on my latop but cannot find the serial number. Trying to reinstall Elements but it is requiring a serial number.
