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.

Adobe FAQ
You still cannot find your serial number
If you cannot locate your serial number, then contact Adobe Customer Service with your name, address, and company name (if applicable) to check for your registration in our customer database.

Adobe is very proactive about piracy and has provided me assistance in the past validating information.

davnads,

You could try http//magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/
Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Registration (7.0 is an example).

edit Homepage is not updated, check the Sourceforge one http//sourceforge.net/projects/keyfinder (version 2.0.6).

edit2 it can even load info from hives btw
