Activate trial or install from cd

I have been using the trial of XI Pro and have decided to purchase it. However, I am going to purchase it locally because I like having hard copies of software. Is there any advantages or disadvantages one way or the other between simply putting the new serial number into the trial versus uninstalling the trial and installing it from scratch from the cd?

Hi Rhinnu2012,
The downloaded trial version is the same that you get on the CD.
You need to simply enter the purchased serial number in the trial version to convert it into full version.
Uninstall of trial version is NOT required.

Keynote crashing - unlocking trial vs. installing from dvd

Keynote 08 crashes regularly. I have a theory that the iWork trial installations that are unlocked crash more often than the ones installed from the CD. Anyone got the same gut feeling?
/trondk

So here is a short update: I deleted two quicktime movies from my presentation, and changed one font type. After that it only crashed a few times a day. After a reboot it has been running faithfully 24/7 for over three days without a crash. I am still using an unlocked trial version, no upgrades of keynote, quicktime or os x have been performed. Wierd! So today I added some Quartz Composer elements (Snowfall) in hope it will stay up over the weekend.

Downloaded trial products, installed full CS4 later but still saying 'x' days left before trial expires'. Is this normal?

I downloaded the 30-day trial versions of Photoshop, DW, Flash, FW, etc onto a couple of new Mac Pro's for staff to work with while i was waiting for our full CS4 licenses to arrive. I then installed the full CS4's from the DVD's onto the machines no problem, serials accepted fine - all good. But whenever we open up an application, we still get up the screen at the beginning saying we're using the trial version and that we have (now) 2 days left before it expires. I've tried entering the full license serial number into the option below this notice but it won't accept it. I'm now very concerned that in 2 days time the staff won't have CS4 to work with even though it's been installed.
Will it simply recognise the full CS4 version once the trial runs out? Should i have uninstalled the trial first or entered my new full license serial into the trial without installing from the DVD's? Have i done something wrong?
Any views/help/advice/knowledge is much appreciated.

Did you uninstall the trials?
I would uninstall the software then run the CS4cleanscript.
then reinstall.

I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,
James Scott

If you are saying it is locked to AT&T again then you will need to contact AT&T and see if you qualify for an unlock.

Is after effects cc trial a separate install from the subscription version?

is after effects cc trial a separate install from the subscription version?

Thank you Mylenium. All this time I have been absolutely convinced that you don't need to defragment SSDs. Is this a complete misunderstanding? Even if you do though, I have Windows 8 (not 8.1) which is doing that once a week automatically (apparently even to SSDs).
Are you saying that the 30GB disk cache set up works like a contiguous file?
i7 3930k (12 virtual cores) on P9X79 Deluxe
2 x 120GB Force GT Raid 0 SSD on SATA 6gb/s is my boot drive as well as where I keep programs and the disk cache. I do a disk clean up to remove temp files a couple of times a week but that's all.
1 x 3TB Barracuda on on SATA 6gb/s for back ups and exports
3TB Lacie on USB 3 for source video and project files
2TB Lacie on USB 3 for archive projects
660ti 2GB
I'll try a manual defrag of my RAID 0 SSDs now.

Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and won't activate

I Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and it won't activate. Phone number for activation no longer works just directs to website. Any ideas on getting it activated?

Hi management-2,
Welcome to the Adobe Forums,
The best option would be upgarde to the present version as CS3 is not supported by Windows 7

Unable to activate trial due to a previous installation???

I got the message saying
- Unable to activate trial due to a previous installation of a NitroX trial on this computer.
I've read the announcement post on "Error during activation of NitroX Free JSP Editor" but I don't understand for several points.
1. I'd never installed a previous installation on that machine! Why did I get this message?
I've tried to remove the whole Eclipse directory and tried again, but I still get the same error message. I've tried to search if there's anything in the registry but none is found.
2. Despite point 1, I tried to go on and paste the same ID and serial # I use for the other machine, but NitroX refused to accept it. Is this normal?
3. I suppose point 2 means that an ID/serial pair could only be used once, right? So, I clicked on a link to register but failed because your server says that the email address has been used (of course!). And when I logged in, I couldn't find how I could add a second ID/serial pair. Does this mean I need to create a new account everytime I want an ID/serial pair? :shock: This isn't convenient :!:

I see. So in other word, if I need an ID/serial pair, I have to use another email address.
This is so inconvenient and so impractical. Don't you think so?
I mean, for free version, you can't prevent users from creating n logins to have n ID/serial pairs to work with his n PC. Why don't you just simply let them associate as many ID/serial as they like? Is this more pragmatic?
Anyway, it's your policy but imagine how many "preventable" mails always asking the same question of "Why my ID/serial doesn't work?" you could avoid.

Pse trial v12 installed but when opening the editor it shuts down after 2 seconds, what can be the problem? I have windows 8.1 64 bit with the latest video drivers installed. Thanks

PSE trial 12 installed just fine but when i start the editor it opens and shuts down after about 2 seconds without an error, the only thing that appears is a message with 'continue trial'.
I have windows 8.1 64 bit and i already installed the latest video drivers, intel hd 4000 and nvidia geforce 710M.
I also installed premiere elements version 12 with the same problem.
What can be the problem here, please help?
Thanks.
Wim.

Hi roberto-
Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

Download the installation file(s) and use the serial number you have to activate it.

Moving iLife 08 install from one machine to another (with a twist)

Greetings. I have a complete backup of all the files from an iMac I recently sold. I had purchased a single user version of iLife 08 which is what is on the backup. Before selling the iMac, I reformatted the drive and put iLife 06 and Tiger back on it, keeping the iLife 08 update for myself.
I have misplaced my iLife 08 program disk. It was the single user retail SKU of iLife 08 upgrade. I do have a complete backup from a PPC-based iMac that it had been installed on. I know the iLife 08 applications are universal since by trial and error I moved one app over to my new machine manually from the backup.
I have a MacBook that originally shipped with Tiger. I bought a single user update to Leopard and installed that using erase and install. All good so far. Of course, this wiped out the iLife 06 that had been on the MacBook w/Tiger, but I have a backup of it. I also have the backup of my iLife 08. Both the Leopard and iLife 08 are legal copies obtained at retail. I have the leopard DVD but can't find ilife 08.
I am sure I can somehow handpick the files from the iMac backup to put iLife 08 onto the Leopard-powered MacBook. I've already spend hours looking for the DVD but in the process of moving and just can't find it. So my question is the following:
What directories do I need to copy from my backup to bring iLife 08 to life on the MacBook? I moved GarageBand over and by watching error messages figured out what to move, but would rather not go through this for all the apps!
I am a loyal Mac user with quite a collection including iMacs, Minis, MacBook, had a couple of MacBook pros, and I've even got two XServes in production! I am evaluating Leopard and iLife 08 for use across the board. So far having some challenges with Leopard and web development tools preventing me from upgrading across the board. But for now this one MacBook will be my Leopard test bed.
Help or links to places with this info appreciated. I will keep looking for that darned DVD in the meantime.

yeh true the firewire drive doesnt need to be involved in the story at all... the only reason it is because I already backup my MBP to a firewire drive anyway - so I already have the new system/apps on that FW drive.
I already have my mac pro's current system drive backed up to yet another FW drive, so yea if it does all go wrong I dont even need to do an archive and install, I can directly boot from the old FW drive.
"This should work ok. I have a system on a firewire drive, and I can use it to boot up computer A or to boot up computer B, no problem. They are very different computers. So the same system can start up two very different computers."
Thats very reassuring. If Apple does not disencourage that type of usage then I guess that answers my question. I dont know much about the internal workings of OSX, but was concerned that maybe when installing from the DVDs only the relevant drivers or kernel or something would be installed - etc especially regarding 2core MBP vs. 8core mac pro (it would still work when copying over the system, but not fully optimally) - maybe what I said is total bullcr*p, I dunno! anyways, I will try and do some benchmarks etc and put it through some testing when I get some time - I have my old FW backup to fall back to so its cool...

Can't install from cs6 cd on windows 7 64bit

-Can't install from cs6 cd-I have a serial number -I've tried the forums I've even tried phone support which no longer exists for cs6,got the correct specs of pc win7 64bit 8gb ram etc.I worked before.
-I uninstalled cs6 production premium for student/teachers as after effects wasn't burning,writing,making image or dvd folders.
-This forum said uninstall everything and run cleaner. I did now when I part in cs6 first gives "restart needed before install" done it twice then ignored, then the install go to selection of software,click next and error 15 comes up tried all again then said installation can't complete contact forum and back to the beginning.
-Then tried downloading creative crowd while I was signed in on my adobe account, download completed but didnt want to install
-Then went to adobe application manager downloaded, aswell didn't want to install.
WHAT IS HAPPENING? to simplestaright for support.
go here, do this, click there.
Can anyone tell me how to find or get cs6 installed??via download link, new cd something?
Thanks

HI.Tried the link above production premium is only available in French and German no English files.
BUT I got it right.
MAIN PROBLEM:ENCORE didn't want to burn,write,create folder or image.Not the DVD writer error.
If you have tried everything else suggested THEN:
Adobe forum: uninstall and re-install. ONE slight problem not mentioned any uninstalling or format of PC or adobe software.YOU MUST DEACTIVATE the product first.
1. Deactivate and un-install all cs6
2. Download and use the adobe cleaner Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 Point 3 and choose OS-Run it .
3.Clean all
4.Run disk and system file clean up.Restart PC.
5.Let system clean run. Once logged in. Run CC cleaner again. BUT NOW select clean adobe credentials.
6.Restart again.
7.Insert your CS6 production premium disc and TADA! It worked for me.
If this doesn't work go to adobe,sign in,choose a certain product premiere,after effects etc, choose installing or activation, and click contact us. There should be an option of CHAT to us not just the search forum.
Explain that you can't install from disc and ask to see your license and serial number if it can be deactivated and then try activate again.
Not the most elegant but efficient for me. I spent 2 days on this searching,phoning, chatting, restarting
YET I'm still stuck by ENCORE not burning to disc LOL! So actually was all in vain but atleast if you have bad disc and serial number issues this could shed some like.
Thanks for all who helped

Lightroom install from Master Collection CS6 to Win 8.1

I've recently upgraded my computer and now have a PC running Windows 8.1 that is much faster. I installed my Master Collection CS6 that was running on my Win 7 PC. Everything but Lightroom has installed properly. It was on my win 7 pc with the exact same install (copied it from my other pc) with Lightroom but now I can't find the program. Has anyone had the same problem or know the solution.
Thank you

If you know what version of LR you got with the CS-MC – LR 3, LR 4, LR 5, then you can download any of the LR updates from the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
You would need a serial number for the same LR series (3, 4, 5) to activate what you download and install from the updates page.
