Hello,

I need to find out the serial number of my installed Framemaker 9 (9.0 WIN UPG).

Where can I find it? (It is not shown under HELP - About Framemaker like in Version 7...)


Many thanks in advance.

If you registered the software, I think the info is included in your Adobe account information profile, which lists the products associated with your account.

.

Then, a point of clarification... are you asking about the true serial number, or the software key, which you need to install / update?

I'm not sure that serial numbers are recorded in the software at all, but keys are stored in the registry. You can retrieve them with any key reader; I like Belarc Advisor a lot. Free from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html . It's not a bad idea to keep the profile in a safe place, off your system, just in case you need any of the info to revive a downed box.

I actually need to know the "software key" = number which is on the package and needs to be input while installing FrameMaker.

Thanks for helping... will see if I'm lucky. ;-)

With the Licensing manager system in use since FM8, you won't be able to. You have to consult your

distribution media or download info for the s/n.
