Download & Install

Dear Adobe Legacy Experts and Community,I have a genuine Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection perpetual licence for Mac, originally purchased and installed from the physical CS5 DVD set.I still have a fully working installation on an older Mac. The installation contains Adobe's SWIDTAG licensing file identifying:Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master CollectionMasterCollection-CS5-Mac-GM-MULactivation_status: serializedThe SWIDTAG contains my 24-digit Master Collection serial number.However, when I enter this serial in my current Adobe account under Products → Register a product, Adobe returns:"The provided serial number is invalid."I have verified the serial directly from the existing licensed installation.I need to reinstall CS5 Master Collection on another Mac. Adobe's current documentation says registered CS5 products can be downloaded from an Adobe account, but I cannot register this legitimate licence.Can Adobe provide the official CS5 Master Collection Mac installer, or otherwise ass

I am running Windows 10 Pro 22H2. When I launch the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app, I receive Error 190, stating that my system is incompatible and that the application cannot be updated.However, according to Adobe's official documentation regarding supported operating systems, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 is listed as a supported version.Could you please clarify why Error 190 is being triggered on a supported operating system and advise on how to resolve the issue?

When i open creative cloud desktop i see an error 190 creative cloud can’t update. Nothing has changed on my pc. 

Very simple. May iMac is 2017 I need to install the Basic Adobe Photography Package LR CC & PS and Bridge and I am okay with Firefly not working 100% - I do not want to patch my computer so would like to be pointed at the exact place step by step to find, download and install the legacy versions that will work with my system. Thanks

I’ve been using Photoshop Creative Suite 6 for over a decade. 6 or 7 years ago, I started a subscription to Creative Cloud Photography and for a year or so I used Lightroom as well as the CS6 app.Recently, I realized I haven’t used anything but CS6 for several years, so I cancelled the Creative Cloud subsctiption. CS6 immediately stopped working.While trying to get it working again, I uninstalled it, restarted my computer, and reinstalled it. Now it says I have too many activations and I need to deactivate one of my computers. The problem is, I only have one computer. A few years ago, my previous computer died and I replaced it. I guess that computer is one activation and this one was two.So, now that I’ve had one computer die, and then uninstalled CS6 from the replacement computer without deactivating first, where do I go from here? I only use Photoshop for a few basic editing jobs, nothing fancy, and I **really** don’t like the CC version.Am just hosed?

In Lightroom - photo - edit in - open as layers in photoshop.I assigned “command - O” as a shortcut.After updating to the 2026 version of photoshop my shortcut still opens in photoshop 2025, which I cannot even find in my launchpad since updating.If I go through the tool bar instead of the shortcut it still opens in the 2025 version.I’d like to use the latest and greatest but I can’t get anything in there other than dragging.  Does anyone know WTF is happening?

Automatischer Update von Creative Cloud Desktop schlägt mit Fehlermeldung 190 fehl. PS friert nach dem Start ein. LR läuft (noch) normal.Ich arbeite unter dieser email mit Creative Cloud Photographie 1 TB (noch gültig bis 28 feb. 2027), dass Abo wird korrekt angezeigt.Alle Hardware-Spezifikationen erfüllt: Aktuelles win10-System (alle Updates), aktueller Grafiktreiber (nochmal neu installiert), SSD ist laut aktuellem Test fehlerfrei.Manuelle Installation des aktuellen Creative Cloud Desktop (via Download) führt zum selben Fehler.Was kann ich tun?Mit freundlichem GrußTorsten.

Is there anyone at Adobe that can get this to STOP coming up?I guess Adobe doesn’t know what DECLINE MEANS. 

I have a new macbook pro. I tried to install creative cloud and it stalled at 45.5% (stuck there for over 45 minutes).  I quit installer, and it hung up trying to clean up the install(?), so I force quit and rebooted.I am trying to install it again and it again is stalled at 45.5%, been an hour at that percentage so far. I searched the support database and it tells me to run the uninstaller included with creative cloud.  Um . . . how do I do that if it won’t install Creative Cloud?I am inclined to force quit again and install the individual apps that I need, but WTF?

I can no longer update the Creative Cloud desktop app on Windows 10. I keep getting Error Code 190!My Windows installation is up to date and has always been fully compatible with Adobe software. Microsoft itself will continue providing extended security updates through October 2027.Microsoft — Extended Security UpdatesAdobe’s own website also lists Windows 10 as compatible:Adobe — Creative Cloud system requirementsWhy am I no longer able to update the app? Are you seriously trying to force customers to buy new hardware and switch operating systems?This is outrageous! It violates consumer protection laws here in Brazil and amounts to false advertising, especially when you claim the software is compatible but, in practice, it does not work as advertised!I’ve been seeing reports of this issue on this forum for over a month. When is Adobe going to issue an official statement or provide a solution?

Here is a screenshot of the windows pop-up error message appearing anytime (every 10 minutes non-stop) since I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Free version (directly from the Microsoft Store) on my Windows 10 Pro 64 bit version 22H2 (as local admin, personal computer).Translation from french:“FullTrustNotifier.exe - incorrect image - C:\Windows\System32\AppContracts.dll is not ment to run under Windows or contains an error.  Install the application again with the help of the genuine installation support or contact your sysadmin or the software editor to obtain support.  Status of the error: 0xc000012f.”Is this error known and what am I supposed to do to make it disappear?Thank you for your support!

Jeg har min mail med købsdato 14. marts 2019 med ordre #ADB055011084DK og serienummer NUMBER REMOVED FROM THIS PUBLIC FORUM til Adobe Premiere Elements 2019 og ønsker et link til at downloade PE2019 på minbærbare PC. This is a public forum, not Adobe support… you just gave your serial number to everyone who read this message before I removed the number… Moderator

I've just noticed Photoshop has disappeared from my installed apps, if I scroll down to all the apps it says 'install' for Photoshop. It is already installed and I still use it but according to Creative Cloud it is not installed? 

I have a serial number for my adobe acrobat 9 pro which is not active and so the program will no longer work.  It was fine last week but now says I have a licensing problem.  Help!

recently had a new hard drive added to my computer. Unfortuntely I lost my Adobe Photoshop CS6 program. I want to reinstall it on my computer and need the full serial number. Adobe is supplying the serial number less the last four numbers. I need these numbers to  do the reinstall. I am told that these numbers are hidden somewhere. Anyone who knows how to find them please share the answer with me. 

I have an older permanent license for Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium and for Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium.  I have moved both of these products to a new Windows computer.  I know the software is old, but it does what I need, and I don’t use it often enough to justify the cost of new versions.  After dealing with a driver issues that caused crashes, I managed to get the software installed on Windows 11 25H2, and it seems to work fine.   The problem is that the activation does not work because Adobe long ago discontinued the activation servers.   I keep getting a message that I have too many activations already, even though I deactivated those on my older computers.  I recall this happened to me about 5 years ago when I moved the software to a different computer.  Adobe support did something (I don’t recall what) that cleared up the issue.  Today, however, Adobe support told me they are not  trained at all on the older software, so I need to go to this forum for an

I have 2 licenses on 1 account. I am using 2 computers with Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I try to open Acrobat on a 3rd or 4th computer I get the message that I have reached my limit with 2 computers. Does not let me use my second license.  Only 2 computers show up in use. The second license is showing but I still am not able to use the second license. I just purchased the second license a week ago.  It shows payment was received for each of the 2 licenses, but I’m still not able to run Acrobat Pro on anything other than the 2 original computers in use.  I want to use it on 2 new computers without having to deactivate it on the original 2 and activate it on the 2 new computers. Hence the reason for purchasing a second license.

Photoshop 11 was uninstalled from my Windows PC some time ago.  I therefore purchased and down loaded PS Elements 2027.  Following apparent installation the appm opened but all function potions were greyed out and non operable.How do I get it usable - have I missed something?

Please know that talking about this or that or some other word or phrase in the Adobe license terms is not going to change several simple facts.A serial number program will continue working on the computer where it is activated as long as that computer keeps running... so in that respect the license really is perpetual.A serial number program may or may not install on a new computer... almost certainly NOT on a new Mac due to how much Mac hardware and the operating system have changed.On Windows 11 some (old) serial number programs will install and run... HOWEVER...Nancy OShea posted 8-31-26 in an Elements discussion that versions prior to 2022 are NOT compatible with Win11. Users have reported catastrophic system failures after installing older Elements on a new machine that lacks an optical CD/DVD drive. It seems there’s a security conflict with legacy CD/DVD drivers that causes Win11 to brick up, requiring a full system restore or factory reset. Use older Elements versions at your o

We bought and downloaded the non-subscription version of Acrobat Pro 2024.  We have been unable to activate it and NO help from the support chat teams.  Worse, they tried to upsell us!  We really just need to get this activated.  Apparently it's a one-time activation, but nobody at Adobe has been able to figure it out.  Although it shows we bought it last month in our invoices, it doesn't show in our products.  Has anyone been able to activiate this product (again, this is the download with 3-year term product)? Thank you...p.s., helping my 85 year old dad with getting this done and it's VERY frustrating.

when i try installing the after effect on my MAC i have this error please i need help

When I try and change the email address on my Adobe ID I get this message:  "Your account changes couldn't be saved."   No explanation of why they can't be saved or what action I need to take.    Could you let me know why I can't change my main email address and how to fix this?  Thank you.
