    but it is saying the serial number I am trying to enter is invalid.

    What is the exact error message?

    If PSE12 was an upgrade, you'll need to enter both the PSE12 serial number and the serial number of a prior version, which are hopefully both out on Adobe's site.

    Otherwise, try copy/pasting the serial number from Adobe's site into the serial-number type-in box.
