I bought my copy of CS6 8 years ago and didn't wright down the serial number after using the redemption code. I never had an email attached to the download. The computer the software was on fried and data couldn't be recovered. I want to put it on my new computer but can't without the serial number. If I type in the redemption code it just gives me the message that it's being used on an account [Oops! This code has already been redeemed using a different Adobe ID.]. How can I get my serial number or am I out of luck?

there are several possible ways to find/recover an adobe serial number.

 

1. search purchased materials: https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/find-serial-number.html

 

2. you can check your account (if you purchased from or registered with adobe AND you remember the adobe id used to purchase/register), https://accounts.adobe.com

 

3. if your adobe program is installed on another working hard drive, you can recover its serial number from that computer,

If you never registered it to an Adobe acount/ID, you are probably out of luck. 

 

If you did register the serial number to an Adobe account/ID that you still have access to, try the solution here:
