Finding serial number for CS6 (problems with Belarc Advisor)

Question

I purchased Illustrator CS6 a number of years ago, from a product box. A few months ago, an error 16 started popping up when I tried to open Illustrator, telling me to uninstall and reinstall the product. I wish to do so but have lost the product box so I no longer have my serial number. (I was an idiot and didn't store it somewhere safe. I also don't have it registered online.) I tried to use Belarc Advisor, but Adobe Illustrator isn't showing up at all in the list of Software Licenses. I have no idea why. Is there a way I can fix this, or try another way to recover my serial number so I can uninstall and reinstall Illustrator?

(I had no idea what to tag this, sorry if they are incorrect)

You can also try some of these methods:https://www.isumsoft.com/product-key/how-to-find-adobe-cs6-serial-number-in-registry.htmlhttps://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-ways-recover-serial-numbers-windows/ However, if Belarc failed to find it, it may not be present in your Windows Registry at all. I've used Belarc for many years and it has always worked for me.
