I cannot find where to do this.. It directs me to join and pay a monthly fee, but I already have a legitimate purchased and registered licence. Where do I enter my key?

Thank you

    CC is only available via Creative Cloud subscription. If you have a subscription, you simply log into the program with the Adobe ID you used to purchase it. Ever since Adobe switched to the Creative Cloud subscription delivery method, activation keys and serial numbers no longer exist for those programs in the Creative Cloud suite.

    If you purchased a license key/serial number, it would need to be for an earlier version of the program, which you would need to download from here depending on your actual version (CS3 through CS6):

    This is incorrect. Certain license codes are registered through government services or businesses. It is incredibly difficult to find where to input the code, but I finally found the link. Subscription codes can be redeemed through this link: creative.adobe.com/redeem

        Sorry for reviving a three year old thread, but I kinda need to vent, right now.

        WHY IN THE HELL would any company remove the ability to activate a product by entering a license key????

        Sure, per Jon's instructions, a user could just log on to the cloud using the account that purchased the product and activate it that way.

        But what about government orgs or private sector corporations that purchase, en masse, for hundreds or thousands of users to be able to use the product?  Am I to believe that each and every installed copy of said software needs to have one person authorized to access said account go to each terminal and log on to the cloud to activate the product????

        What kind of business model is that?

        Rant over.  Thank you.

        V/r,

        Thank you for the rant, but Adobe does cater for the large corporations, etc, that require multiple versions and mass installations. It is called an enterprise subscription, and one can purchase any number of licences without requirering each computer user to activate via an individual or team subscription, (even has stand alown installers) or the CC app.
