Invalid serial numbers are serial numbers that have been blocked by Adobe due to misuse. When Adobe discovers this fraudulent behavior, the invalid serial numbers are deactivated. Customers may only realize that a serial number has been deactivated when they attempt to install or reinstall the software, and should follow the instructions provided to address this issue.

Non-genuine software can work normally until Adobe identifies and deactivates the fraudulent serial number. Once the serial number is deactivated, future attempts to install or reinstall will fail.
