Re-installing Master Collection invalid serial number

Good luck with that; Adobe has pretty much screwed all of us using CS6 by dropping its support and licenses for it. A growing number of folks have been experiencing this in recent weeks, and the timing of the "expiration" of these licenses just happens to coincide with the beginning of the new fiscal quarter for Adobe, when they've said they'd start dropping them. If you don't mind my asking, how did you come by your license key; did you purchase it outright, or was it issued to you as a student somewhere? Former students of the Academy of Art in San Francisco have been struggling with customer service over this issue for weeks now, and students in the Netherlands have been dealing with this for the better part of a year.

Don't expect to have Adobe's customer "support" provide any assistance on this, either. They've been issuing the same crappy advice to folks since this problem has started, saying that we need to "contact the point of purchase, as it is not an Adobe issue to resolve". It's a load of bunk, and several folks have been looking into what kind of legal actions we might be able to take because of this. If you do choose to reach out to customer service, expect to be treated like dirt and to receive the same answer over and over again.
