    Yes... Lost information - see reply #1 in https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2008767

    - page has links to programs to find an installed serial number in Mac or Windows

    - includes link to your Adobe account to check for registered serial numbers

    - when you find your serial number(s) write them down and put in a desk drawer

    apparently, we didn't register the product and the product list is empty.

    and i can't install license crawling software on my laptop cause its against policy.

    I only have the "about" info from my installed version.

    it has a serial number in it, but is 4 digit short for activation.

    The ONLY way to obtain your full serial number is by using the program I linked to for your operating system

    Since you say "against policy" I will guess you are using a company owned computer... which, to me, means that someone in the company did not follow "policy" concerning keeping serial numbers recorded in a safe place
