Had to reformat my computer, so I'm trying to re-install. I deactivated mine before reformatting, so I'm good there.
I have my registration number, but haven't been able to find the download. I found a bunch of CS4 downloads, but not for Contribute.
Thanks, Matt

Thanks Hans. These are listed as CS4, but when I click download it goes to Adobe's site for CS6.5. I'll try that if all else fails. Thanks for your kind help.

Bingo. That was it. I downloaded it, but it says my serial number is invalid, even though it put it in from my own products page. But, that's ok, I'll call them on Monday and probably try to upgrade it.
Many thanks for your help.
Sincerely, Matt Kramer

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download CS4 products
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Thanks kglad. The only problem is that Contribute isn't on that list. Maybe it's just not supported anymore. Thanks. Matt

oops, that was supposed to be the prodesigntools.com link. let's try again:
Downloads available:
Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

Kglad: Thanks a million for all your effort. That was it. I'll still need to call them Monday because it doesn't like my serial number now.
Thanks for all your effort. Very, very kind of you.

you're welcome.
meantime, see if this helps with your serial number (and maybe you can get help today via chat), Error "The serial number is not valid for this product" | Creative Suite
