Bought Lightroom upgrade version in error. Thought I was buying the full version. [was: Adobe took 80 bucks from me. I need it back.]

So, I dowloaded to the free trial of lightroom. After I used it for 30 days, I then Clicked the 'buy' button followed the steps, payed for the product, claimed the serial number, plugged in the number for the product, and then it presents me with a screen that says i only bought the upgrade and I need my original serial number. Why did it do this. I just paid for and upgrade to a product I never had. And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade. I followed the steps and they practically took 85 bucks from me. How do I fix this? and why did they do this too

And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade.
It probably did but it was not made clear enough to you.
The default buying option on most screens (exact screens vary) is the Upgrade version. Unfortunately this subtlety catches many newbies out.
Return the upgrade and buy the full version Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

Hi. I am trying to buy Apperture as my trial version has expired. I cannot buy the full version as I get a message saying it is already installed. Do I have to remove the trial before I can buy it? When I launch Apperture, I follow the link "buy"

If you are purchasing from the Mac App store, then you would drag the trial version to the trash first and empty trash (since the trial version has expired).
Launch the Mac App store > sign in with your Apple ID > purchase Aperture (this is cheaper than the previous retail version many of us purchased anyway).
Note - you can rename your Aperture Trial library as needed if you want to work with that one once the full version is installed.

I am using 10.4.11. Do I need to buy the full version of 10.5, or can I just purchase the upgrade? (about $100 difference)

I am using 10.4.11. Trying to upgrade Itunes so I can set up our new IPad. However, to upgrade Itunes, I have to upgrade OS. Do I need to buy the full version of 10.5, or can I just purchase the upgrade? (about $100 difference). All this just to get our Ipad to work....

It requires the full Retail version to get Loeopard/10.5, ($129), now there is a $29 Snow Leopard /10.6 Disc, but...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

I just bought an app, $ 29.99, I installed it, but apparently only free version is installed. Apps asking me to buy the full version for 39.99, I cant find the way to communicate with app store. Help me please

I just bought an App, $29.99. I got the free version apparently. Every time i try to use it message says buy the full version for 39.99. What i am suppose to do now????

Excuse me moinpara, but I know how you feel and I have been there many of times. It is not Itunes fault that your purchase inquiry was proposed to you as invalid, rather much more sort of than rather it being. If this happened to me, I would research that App, try to find out what went wrong. Heh, if you or I were to ask myself I could either tell you that you are putting yourself in a hole! Woah, but now this seems to me like something that would be simple to just contact an iPhone or apple associate and tell them why this happened to you, especially right after Christmas, or whatever religious holiday you choose to follow
If I were to be in your shoes I would of spent the money in the itunes store on something else! But that is just me.

I had a 30 day trial and i decided to buy the full version. Its asking for 2 serial numbers but i only have 1

I was using a 30 day trial of the lightroom 5 but decided to buy the full version. When I go to download it, it asks for 2 serial numbers but I only have 1?

you bought the upgrade version meaning you have a previously purchased lightroom. after entering your lr5 serial number you're being prompted for that previous version's serial number.
enter the correct number at the correct time and installation will proceed.
if you made an error and do not own a previous version, Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version

Can I transfer a project from the trial version of Final Cut Pro X to the Full version which I have now downloaded.

The trial version is named "Final Cut Pro Trial" and the App Store version is called "Final Cut Pro".
So, they can both be in the Applications folder at the same time, but only one can be open/launched at a time.
If, for some reason, your trial is older (like version 10.0.4) that your newly purchased FCPX (should be 10.0.5), and you do not click Update to your events/Projects, they will NOT show in the bought version!
Open the licensed FCPX and make sure it does update your things, in case it asks for it!

I tried PES2012 "Pro evolution 2012" which i liked but slow, thinking if i buy the full version it could be faster, but got to know it's still slow, please need back the money

I tried PES2012 "Pro evolution 2012" which i liked but slow, thinking if i buy the full version it could be faster, but after bought the game got to know it's still slow, the acceleration is still locked and slow, my complain is that it's slow, Fifa 12 also is slow, i like Fifa 11 because it's fast, please need back the money

Do I need to buy the full version of lightroom 4 after using the trial

I am not sure if I purchase the full version or the upgrade

If you have owned a previous qualifying version then you would purchase the upgrade. If this is your first purchase of Lightroom then you would want to purchase the full version.

Re Photo Books – Elements 12 brilliant and serves all my need except Photo Books. Do I need to Buy the full version of Lightroom 5 to use the Photo Book facility?

Re Photo Books. Hi I have an old full version of Photoshop 6 and Elements 12. Elements 12 serves pretty well all my editing needs. It has a Photo Book facility but the Template is not brilliant eg It is clumsy adding captions. I have been looking at Lightroom 5 which seems to have a great Photo Book facility but do I have to Buy the full Light Room 5 programme to use it? If so, what is the cost?

Hi DJ,
Many thanks for your comments on the Adobe Forum about Photoshop for
Photo Books..
Following your suggestion, I have had a look at Blurb and it seems
pretty good and quite easy to use. Many thanks for this suggestion. I
have had a look around and I find there are many "publishers" and
although Blurb comes out well in many reviews, there are many others
also. But there is one big problem for me - they ALL produce BOUND Photo
Books but I want a flexible Photo Book where I can later add or change
pages! Nobody I have found produces a book where pages can be printed
separately to be added when and where required in a book!
I have posted another question in the Forum asking if anyone knows of
such a publisher - especially in the UK, where I live.
The reason I want the ability to insert pages etc is for a number of
reasons. For example, I am producing an historical Photo Book but if
friends send me photos of a past era, I want to scan the photos, put
them on a separate page and then insert that page in the appropriate era
in my book or I may later want to enlarge an old photograph already in
the book and insert the enlargement next to the original etc. etc.
I have printed some pages myself using Photoshop Elements, which was not
the ideal tool as I mentioned before, but when the A4 pages were placed
in clear plastic A4 pockets and inserted in my smart presentation Ring
Binder, the result looked brilliant. But I have hundreds of photographs
and I dread to think what the cost of ink would be if I printed them all
myself, let alone the time!
But I am beginning to think I may after all have to print them myself
and that, as I have several hundred or more, the cost of buying
Lightroom 5 may be worth it in the long run.
Anyway, thanks for coming back to me with your views regarding my
original enquiry.
With very best wishes,
Tony

I purchased version 12 for Windows elements and changed on iMAC computer do I need to buy the full versions of the elements 13

I elements12 versions of Windows but now changed to a mac computer and I can not download the purchased version of how to change or upgarde to the elements 13 for mac

Download versions are for one platform only, but that won't matter if you buy an upgrade. However, if you're in the US later this week you'll almost certainly be able to find the full version for much less than adobe's upgrade price, at big box stores and online retailers.

I Was willing to purchase a full version of Lightroom and by mistake I've bought only the upgrade to Lightroom 5. What can I do to give back this upgrade in order to buy the full version?

I Have purchased directly on the Adobe website, but the procedure to give back the Lightroom upgrade version is not really clear

Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Which part are you not clear on?

Photoshop Elements - Upgrade from 12 to 13 or just buy the full version of 13

I need to get Photoshop Elements 13 so that it will recognize my new camera files. To Upgrade is $79, but to buy it is $69. Is there a difference? Can I just buy it and uninstall 12? I'm confused.

upgrading or installing a newer version would not delete the older version and they would both behave same. So you can choose either of them. If buying PSE13 costs you less, you should go for it. You don't have to uninstall 12 too. They both can remain on your machine.

Can I download the trial version of photoshop and use it as the full version with my serial number?

I have photoshop 6.0 on my current computer, I got in in college 4 years ago and the disc subsequently came to a tragic end after a collision with my dogs teeth T_T I still have the serial number though. My problem is I've just bought a new computer and I was told that to transfer photoshop to my new computer I had to deactivate it on my old computer and then download the trial version using the original serial number. Will this work?

Is this Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop 6? Either way this would not be the current version so it will be difficult to obtain the installation files as we only offer replacement media for the current version. If you have your serial number though you will qualify for upgrade pricing. For additional details please review http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

Why does Firefox sometimes show low-resolution versions of some websites when IE shows the full version?

Recently, using FF 3.6.8 and 3.6.9, after I've used Ashampoo Magic Optimizer, certain news websites only show up in a bullet-pointed low-resolution text without any graphics. Other websites appear in their normal way. Accessing these lo-res websites via IE browser, they all appear in their full-resolution normal way. Then, some days later, it all comes right again on Firefox.
