Adobe Flash CS3 - How to retrieve Serial Key

Hi Experts,

Can you please tell me if you know a method of getting the serial key for Adobe Flash CS3. I have it installed on the computer but no idea what license I had used. I have tried clicking ABOUT US but no joy.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

If you are lucky you may find the key with a keyfinder tool.
Try the Magical Jelly Bean:

Or the other free keyfinders mentioned here:

If that does not help you will have to search the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Flash\Version

Check for a subkey "Registration" that may contain data called "Serial" or "Prodreg".

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Flash\Version

above does not exist

the free tools do not work aswell :-(

I know it doesn't exist because "Version" is a placeholder for the actual version number which I do not know (as I don't have Flash CS3 installed).

Replace "Version" by "CS3" or "9.0" or whatever version numbering you will find in that key.

nope nothing like that either! its adobe>flash 9> ??? nothing in here

torimar

Since Adobe seems to use an activation scheme that ties the software to a specific computer, there is a chance you might find something here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Flash 9 or:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Flash\9.0
