Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium Keycode

[Edgar1480]

A family member has recently passed away and left me with many things one of them is Adobe CS 5.5 Production Premium but i cannot find the serial number to activate it, is there any way i can buy a license key code without buying the whole program since i have the discs?

Please accept my condolences for the loss in the family.  The whole program is basically the license key... with it you can activate a freely available copy of the installation files.  The problem with the serial key is that Adobe does not sell older versions of their software (meaning they do not sell the licenses).  Normally you would have had to have gotten the license transferred to you by the person who holds the license, but in this case that is not likely to be able to happen.  Maybe the following will help...  Find your Adobe product serial number quickly

yeah ive gone thru this link many times, so in this case theres no hope but to pretty much buy the software all over again, right?

If you don't have access to the user account and the disc case does not have the serial number then you are likely out of luck.  As I mentioned, Adobe does not sell their older products so if you really wanted it you would have to find and take your chances with a third party seller.

One other option... if the software happens to be installed on a computer that is accessible to you, you might be able to get the serial number from the machine.

If it's a Windows machine then try running Belarc Advisor

If it's a Mac I have heard there is some software available that might be able to do the same type of thing but I do not know what it is called.
