recently had a new hard drive added to my computer. Unfortuntely I lost my Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. I want to reinstall it on my computer and need the full serial number. Adobe is supplying the serial number less the last four numbers. I need these numbers to  do the reinstall. I am told that these numbers are hidden somewhere. Anyone who knows how to find them please share the answer with me.

    If you’ve buyed CS6 via Adobe or registered you license in the past you’ll find the seriel number in your Adobe account. Login with your Adobe ID.

    Otherwise you should find the serial number on your CD cover.

    On the other hand if you have reached your activation limit because you don’t deactivate your old installation you’re out of luck anyway.Adobe has stopped supporting CS products several years ago. Nobody can reset the activation counter.
