Where can I find the serial number on my Adobe product box?

You can usually locate the serial number on the back of the CD or DVD case.  If you have an envelope for your software then it may be located on the envelope instead. 

For more help locating your serial number, see Find a serial number, or try this focused search.

Which product did you install?  You should have received an e-mail which contains your serial number and a link to the download.  Otherwise I would recommend reviewing the following documents:

This company is ridiculous there is zero support. I'd think sign up for the"cloud" free trial then they might answer you. My product is brand new and there has been zero support for it.

Okay thanks Jeff but that Contact Customer Care link does not allow me to connect on to a chat with a live agent. It just takes me through a series of questions then sends me back to forums.

How can I access this .

I need my serial number to install a license to my other computer.
I once downloaded adobe Photoshop CS6 from the adobe website,

but when I search for my serial number there I cannot find my purchase. I don't have a purchase history and it seems like I didn't download any product.
I also can't find the email with the serial number anymore...

For the COSTCO version of Photoshop Elements there is a plain white inner box inside the outer printed box. You must pull or tear out the inner box and the SN is on that plain white box. Unbelievable but true.

Jeff, I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 11 that was a Christmas gift a from a couple of years back.  I have three numbers on the back of the box and have tried all three and get invalid number for each of them.  There is nothing printed on the sleeve.  This really is ridiculous folks.  My only recourse is a forum.  Really...

What have you got for me?

I want to try the home use program for adobe acrobat which requires a serial number.  When I received my laptop, Acrobat was already installed by my company.  How can I find the serial number from within the program itself or through other means so that I can register for the home use program?
