Anyone had the trial version of Captivate 4 expire in 4 days?

Hi
I'm using the trial version of Captivate 4 which I downloaded
four days ago. It's now telling me I have to enter a serial number
with no option to continue the trial.
I've seen problems have occurred in the past but haven't
heard about this one.
Anyone direct me to a fix? I'm putting together a project to
convince the powers that be to upgrade.
Thanks

Welcome to our community
At any point after installing did you play with your system
clock and monkey with the date? I find that trials are often super
sensitive that way. ANY change to the date can automatically
trigger a "Trial is over" response as the software is programmed
not to allow date changes. If it were to allow date changes, you
could theoretically run a trial indefinitely.
Other than that, perhaps try calling support. And good luck.
Cheers... Rick

Hi Deanders,
After downloading the software you need to install it.
Please run the downloaded executable .exe file to begin the installation.

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

I downloaded a trial version of IWork (even though I already had it on my MacBook) and after downloading I only had the trial version- did not have the full version anymore. I tried deleting the trial version and ended up deleting all of IWork. Help!

So after downloading this trial version, my own versions became trial. I deleted them and it ended up deleting all of my Iwork completly. I dont have the original disks as they have been long lost! How can I retrieve the lost Iwork files instead of having to pay for the system again??? PLease help!

When I try to install the trial version of Captivate 8, I am told there is a fatal error and to contact the software manufacture.

Anyone have an idea of what to do? I am using MacOSX 10.9.4
i tried three times, even tried re downloading but always same

no, that's the akamai download manager.
the file you want is 1.64 GB.
click this link, http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
select your english mac captivate 8 and click download. two popups will appear, one offering the akamai download manager and the other popup contains a link for direct download looking like:
To download the files directly, click here.
File 1 of 1.
click that File 1 of 1 link.

If I create and publish content with the trial version of Captivate 8 will it (the content) expire?

I see this is the case with Captivate 6, content expires 30 days after publishing or something like that.
Does anyone know if they have kept this "feature" with Captivate 8?
Cheers

Hi there
Indeed, to my knowledge it behaves the same way.
Logically, I would wonder what (if any) incentive Adobe would have to change it?

How do I launch a trial version of Captivate after downloading it?

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available?

Fresh install of trial version of Captivate 8 on OS X 10.9.3 - no previous version of Captivate on machine. I've got lots of crashing to desktop problems right off the bat. Is there a patch available? I work at a University and we're evaluating for online courseware - my last experience with Captivate was 5.0. Anyone else experience this with the trial download?

Hi there,
There is no difference in terms of usage and features between a trial version and a licensed version.
Could you tell me do you get any specific error message when it crashes, or does it crash while using a particular feature, or is it random?
Can you also try with a different user account (admin) on your MAC, check if it behaves same there?
Thanks.

I had a trial version, and tonight I bought it. But buttons led me to the Windows version which I accidentally bought. I have Mac. What do I do? How do I switch it over to a Mac version?

Hi scarabs55,
Are you working with Acrobat or Photosohp? (You mention both PDF files and photos, so it's not clear.)
Let us know what software you're thinking about upgrading and we can point you in the right direction.

I had to uninstall the trial version of Premier Pro, now I can't download a new one/update anymore?

Since the trial version was not working properly I tried to uninstall it via Adobe, which worked. But now it seems impossible to download a new trial version or get an update, since it was once installed on this PC. But normally I would have had 20 days of trial left, and would appreciate to use them somwhow. Is there anything I can do? It is a Window 8 PC.
Thanks for help!!

Run the cleaner tool and try again.

Hi gretchenm66156293,
Are you running into this issue with one PDF in particular, or with any PDF that you open? Did the PDF display correctly previously? How was that PDF created?
For starters, please choose File > Properties and click the Fonts tab. What fonts are used in the PDF? Are they "embedded" or "subsetted."
I would be happy to take a look at the PDF here, if you'd like. Let me know!
Best,
Sara

I had a project edited and one I was currently editing in the Trial version, then when I bought FCPX I can't find it. How can I get it back?

Which version was the trial version? If you just bought FCP now it's version 10.1.4. What that the version you used for the trial?

I had a trial version of Lightroom and Photoshop. Purchased the LR/PS deal. Photoshop still says trial version.

Hi Atul,
I am having the same problem.
Logout then Login is not working for my case.
History of my problem.

Now I able to install/open LR6 but it reverted back to trial version and same issue with other apps.
Adobe Customer Care is pathetic (not possible get direct chat).
No idea how to solve my problem.
I fear to trust to Adobe of loosing my lifetime collection of pics.
Any help is appreciated.
