    serial # valid but a qualifying prod. could not be found.

    Sounds like you've got an Upgrade version.

    In order for the CS6 installer to accept the upgrade serial number it needs either:

    • to find an existing CS5 installed on your system
    • you to enter a CS5 serial number to prove eligibility for the CS6 upgrade serial number

    So do you:

    1. have a CS6 upgrade version?
    2. have a CS5 serial number?

    If you do have an upgrade CS6 but don't have a CS5 serial no then you won't be able to use the CS6 upgrade beyond the 30 day trial period.
