Invalid or revoked serial number
If you receive a message when trying to install Adobe Creative Suite or Adobe Acrobat, stating that the serial number you are using has been revoked, or is invalid, it is because the serial number you are attempting to use has been blocked by Adobe. Adobe blocks serial numbers that are known to have not been issued by Adobe, or are known to have been used fraudulently by unauthorized sellers to produce counterfeit software. Unfortunately, you may only know the serial number has been blocked for this reason when re-activating or reinstalling Adobe software.

If your business requires you to be on the move frequently, chances are you rely heavily on your HP laptop. Over time and with plenty of wear and tear, your model might require adjustment or repair. To expedite your repair work and locate the replacement parts required, the manufacturer may request your model number. Depending on which model you own, your model number can be found using several different methods.
On the Underside of the Laptop
On most HP models, the sticker on the underside of the laptop contains your model number, along with other important information. Turn your laptop upside down and place it on a soft, clean surface such as a chair or couch cushion. Locate the white or silver sticker on the underside of the laptop, toward the middle of the casing. Read the sticker and look for the prefix 'P/N.' The number following this prefix is your computer's model number.
On the Inside of the Battery Compartment
If the sticker on the underside of the laptop has been scratched off or purposefully removed, another place to check is inside the battery compartment. Turn the laptop upside down and locate the battery compartment near the screen hinge. Depress the lever to unlock the battery and lift it gently upward to remove it. Look for a white or silver rectangular sticker, either on the battery or in the compartment. Locate the 'P/N' prefix and record the number that follows it.
Beneath the Laptop's Bottom Casing
If you can't locate the model number on the battery or on the bottom of the computer, you may need to remove the casing on the underside of the laptop to find it. Ensure that the laptop is powered off and the battery is removed. With a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove all of the perimeter screws from the casing. Place the screws in a secure location and gently lift up the casing. Near the left corner of the laptop, you'll see a square of information and specifications. Locate the 'P/N' prefix and record the number that follows. Replace the casing and re-install the screws.
Using System Information
Another way to locate the model of your HP laptop is by using the System Information screen. Press 'FN-Esc' to open the HP System Information window. A lot of information will be displayed within this window, but all you'll need to look for is the 'Product Number' heading. The number will contain the '#' symbol and is slightly different from a model number, but it will still provide all of the necessary information to the manufacturer or repair service.
Using HP Support Assistant
If you have the HP Support Assistant software installed, you can use it to quickly find your computer's model number. Click the Windows 'Start' button and type 'HP' in the Search field. Choose 'HP Support Assistant' from the displayed results. Your model number and other information will be displayed along the bottom edge of the Support Assistant window.
