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:

Marv.pena how did you install the software incorrectly?  Also did you install in trial mode or are you still looking for your serial number?

Hi Jeff,

I have a similar situation.

I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite: Design Standard online, and I was told I would receive an email with my serial number.

I have received my product in the mail, and wish to install it now. However there is no serial number on the product box, or insert envelope. Still waiting on the email and its been about 4 weeks.


Jaaay did you purchase Creative Suite Design Standard from Adobe directly?  If so do you have an order number that I can reference?

Nicole.jess did you purchase your software from Adobe.com?  We do employ activation technology but that would not cause you to receive an invalid serial number message.  Unfortunately we really can't validate your serial number through the forums.  We need to verify to much personal information which should be private.  For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/tuMwkC.  Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue surrounding your serial number.
