I've got my original serial number in an email. (And I've found it in my adobe account) But it is a CS5 Masters Collection Serial. I keep downloading the CS5MC but it keeps failing to install and asks to be downloaded again. (Which I'm doing.) So the CS5MC Serial will register everything? Seems there's a different login requirement (password isn't working) to register illustrator than to enter this community or my account. Why? I thought it should be the same...
Getting closer to everything being all good again! feeeeewweee... It's been a hectic week!! horrible :-(
