    Hello Hemanta. Could you provide a bit more detail here? Are you currently working with Photoshop CS6? If so, what version of Windows are you working on? 32- or 64-bit? These details will be required to provide any assistance.

    Hi, eisenray!

    If you're running Photoshop on Windows, find and delete the following file:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db

    That will hopefully stop Photoshop from asking for your serial number each time you launch it.

    The folder should rebuild, but the old content is gone.
