So when I signed up a moment ago, when I included my serial number, I GOT A MESSAGE SAYING THAT MY NUMBER HAS ALREADY BEEN USED, so apparently It Is Valid.
When I signed up to post on this forum, I received a message from Adobe saying that Someone Else was using my name, and it suggested that I include My Bloody Middle Initial!
Is it just me, or is This Absolutely The Most Inept System on Earth?
I need to register or apparently I will not be able to upgrade.
Can you say Better Business Bureau or States Attorney General Office?

three times fast. now what do i win?
Calm down! You yourself are the one that "registered" already.
You wrote your HDD died, why would you want to register again at reinstallation?
If software needs to be activated, then it needs to be deactivated. You didn't get the chance to do that, so explain the situation. Tell them it is you who's calling.

Agree 110%
Never Mind.
this forum has nothing to do with registering your software. not only that nobody in the forum can help you with serial numbers. Incase you missed it, this is a user to user forum.
you must speak with customer service.
I use the program described below
Terabyte's Image program makes a full drive image "picture" for backup (or a selected partition, such as the restore partition some vendors supply instead of actual CD media) and it will span multiple CD/DVD discs or write to an external USB hard drive or to a second internal hard drive
As far as I know (I have multiple identical 80Gig boot drives which I rotate via removable drive housings, creating a backup image before I install or remove any program) this program goes directly to the drive hardware to backup and restore EVERYTHING on a drive, even the "hidden" parts that software vendors use to store registration information... and which (from what I have read in various software forums) some (many?) other backup programs MISS, which means that a restore from those programs may leave you with unregistered software which you can't use until you re-register
The download at this link includes a MAKEDISK.EXE program to create a bootable CD - (be sure to set your CD/DVD drive as FIRST for booting, in your computer BIOS) <http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm>
If you have a boot 3.5" disk drive in your computer (not all computers today have a 3.5" drive) you may use the DOS version of the program... the function is the same as the Linux version, and the screens are "similar" - The DOS version through 1.99 will fit on a 3.5" disk, I have not used the 2x version so don't know the size of the program
Note that you MUST use the Linux version if you have a USB keyboard or a USB mouse
I have not used their Windoze version, since I prefer to run an imaging program that boots outside of Windoze
