Hello. I have successfully installed Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium on a Mac desktop computer 2 years ago. Now, I want to install the software on a second computer, a Macbook Pro. But the installation program tells me that the serial number, which I received from Adobe by email, is not valid anymore. What do I have to do to get the software installed? Thanks for your help.
