I went back in and registered it, then it showed up under the My Products page! Woohoo! So apparently it doesnt matter when you register it? Just as long as you do? Is it really that easy of an answer?

I know of no way to get that number. That’s not to say one doesn’t exist, but as I pointed out in the original article, this is why you should immediately register the software.

You can try contacting Adobe if you bought directly from them.

@Aschmalz: This article was written for CS3. Same response to you as to the poster before you:

Did you register the software? If so, log into your Adobe.com account and you’ll find the information there by clicking on “My Products” under the My Products and Services section.

Unfortunately this only works with CS3. CS5 does the activation in the background.

If you successfully launched any app in the suite and it worked, you’re fine.
