Using the Windows Registry Editor to find the Adobe Photoshop serial number can sometimes help, but keep in mind that the serial number stored in the registry may be encrypted. Here's a step-by-step guide to find Photoshop serial number in Windows 11/10:

Step 1: Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box. Type regedit and press Enter. If prompted by User Account Control (UAC), click Yes to allow access.

Step 2: In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Photoshop

Step 3: Look for keys like Serial, LicenseKey, or similar in the right pane. The serial number might be displayed directly or in an encoded format.

If multiple versions of Photoshop are installed, there may be additional subfolders corresponding to each version (e.g., 21.0 for Photoshop CC 2020). Open the folder for the version you’re looking for and retrieve the lost license keys inside.
