Does anyone know where/how Adobe photoshop CS 2/3's stores its serial # in the registry? I'm looking for a quick and straightforward method of extracting this data to ultimately determine if the license is legitimate.
Thanks!
The serial numbers is in nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn format. I just searched the Registry on one of the machines here that is running CS3 and the S/N was not in the Registry.

You still cannot find your serial number
If you cannot locate your serial number, then contact
Adobe is very proactive about piracy and has provided me assistance in the past validating information.
