    Adobe CS4 problem

    I bought Adobe Photoshop CS4 from a retailer (Office Max) and went to install and at first the serial code went with a green check and the program ran fine after installing. Then after reopening the next day I got a "excuse the interuption but it seems that your serial is invalid" message.I called Adobe and they said the serial was "bogus" and asked where I bought it from. After telling them where and that I could not find the reciept they said that I should go to another authourized seller and buy one from them or purchase one over the phone! After looking and looking I could not find it. I have a friend that uses Cs4 on 1 computer and he gave me his key. Same thing- next day I got the darn message again. Now I am asking my fine friends on Raymonds Blog Has anyone heard of Adobe just mass rejecting serial keys? I provide them with a valid product sku and everything and still get rejected. Is there a fix possible? Does anyone have a reciept lying around? ..LOL Please help

    If u bought from Office Max, was it through counter or Online?

    In either case if U paid through card-u'll have the transaction shown online, using that u can get the duplicate receipt. Using the receipt get back to Adobe...

    In worst case return that stuff back

    I bought it at the retail store. No returns for opened software even with a reciept.
    Also made a mistake- I paid with CASH- A no no in todays world!

    Take it back to Office Max and demand a refund, even if they say they won't, explaining your problem, or demand a copy of your receipt, they should have a copy still, so you can deal with Adobe.

    Failing that, I would think you'd win a lawsuit against Office Max for that!

    Do as hellnoire suggested. It will be a pity to buy it again.

    Screw Google! Ask me!

    But pirated be against the rules here, grr.. so I'd not recommend that. On top of the fact that most downloads are infected in some form or another...
