Depending on how you purchased your Adobe Student & Teacher edition product, you may have received a serial number or a redemption code.
DOWNLOAD OUR WANT LIST. Serial numbers X9999999 - $1 Federal Reserve Notes. 0-1 binary serial numbers - $1 small size Silver Certificates. Please not that this chart only lists the Rolex serial numbers up to the year 2010 because after that point, as I have said earlier, the Rolex watchmakers adopted a randomized unique numbering system for their watches that made the practice of recording Rolex serial number dates an obsolete process that renders virtually no use.
You’ll need the serial number to register your product, update your product, upgrade to a Creative Cloud plan, or qualify for certain types of service plans. Use the redemption code—sent in less secure situations—to redeem your product license and get your serial number.
No serial number is needed for subscription or membership products. Simply sign in with your Adobe ID to activate your membership.
If you purchased a stand-alone version of a product—via a card, as a download, or on discs in a box (for example, Acrobat XI, Photoshop Elements, or Lightroom 6)—you will need your serial number to install the app. Enter your serial number when prompted during the installation of your app.
If you registered your product or downloaded it from Adobe.com, finding your serial number is simple. Adobe keeps track of it for you.
To see a list of your registered products and their serial numbers, sign in with your Adobe ID and password.
