Cannot get rid of trial version on desktop, whereas it works perfectly on laptop.

I have a problem getting rid of the "Your trial has expired." error. On my desktop, I've already ran out the trial version, when I've been on the year-long subscription to CC for about 3 months now. On my laptop, I have no problems with any sort of trial version popping up. I installed CC on my laptop about a month ago, and has been working fine.
I have:
tired uninstalling everything CC related (and reinstalled Photoshop CC about 3 times today)
cleared any cache that I could (including Adobe's clear cache download
logged out and tried it offline
tried to register the product from my laptop
anything I could find on the forums
I checked the hosts file and tried to edit it, but it's a read-only file (I do have admin rights).
What else is there for me to do to get Photoshop CC to work without reminding me about the trial verison on my desktop?
Win7, 8gb, x64, etc.

Hi Thunder3467,
The order number has no billing issue, it is active,
You can try steps in
Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your aadobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
I dont know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
Windows:
In windows 7 navigate to following location:
/windows/system32/drivers/etc
1. look out for "Hosts" file
2. Open it with notepad
3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
Mac:
1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
3. Remove the entries and save the file
4. try again launching any product from CC

  • How do I get rid of trial version?

    I used a trial version of iWork on my OSX Lion for 30 days, then decided to just purchase Pages and Numbers from the Ap Store. Now I can't get rid of the dialog box that says I can't save or print until I purchase. How do I get rid of this? I can go through my Applications Folder to open the correct application, and I have dragged the correct icons to my dock. But I can't get rid of the old icons, even dragging to trash or dragging off the dock, they reappear. If I mistakenly open Pages or Numbers from these icons I can't print or save. Help?

    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

  • Have Creative Cloud - Cannot get off the trial versions of InDesign and Photoshop

    Windows 8
    64-bit operating system, x64-bit based processor
    Downloaded and installed trial version of InDesign CS6 (three days left on trial)
    Purchased Creative Cloud two days ago
    Downloaded and installed Photoshop CS6 (loads as a trial version)
    When clicking on Registration number, get error message “not connected to Internet”
    Live chat instructed to uninstall both InDesign and Photoshop and download again.
    Cancelled Cloud
    Next day phone rep spent ½ hour trying to get it to work. Said it would all work and helped me re-purchase Cloud – received email confirmation.
    Phone rep passed me on to someone who was supposed to give me a registration number. Spent another ½ hour doing the exact same thing. Was told there are no registration numbers in Cloud. Wanted to pass me off to another support department – I declined.
    Received email today:
    “Your Creative Cloud membership will be transitioned to a Free membership at the end of the next billing period. This means you will lose access to many of the apps and services included with a Paid Creative Cloud membership.
    In addition, since Free membership offers only 2GB of storage, you may need to remove files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files on Creative Cloud for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files. If you decide you want to return to a Paid membership, update your payment information and desired plan on the account management page.
    If you need help or have any questions, contact Customer Support.
    Thanks and enjoy,
    The Adobe Creative Cloud Team”

    Downloaded a trial version of the "Living Earth Desktop" screensaver and cannot get rid of it. I deleted the download and cannot find it anywhere else on my mac. I will change the desktop image and the living earth image will pop back up minutes later. Does anyone know how I can make this image stop taking over my desktop? Thanks!

    This is the website.

    IF you know the exact file name of the download, you can search for it in the spotlight.
    (This icon) in the upper right corner.
    If you don't know the exact file name, you may have to redownload it so you can see it.
    I would also try doing a reboot after you change your desktop background to what you want.

  • My iTunes store will not open, it keeps showing me a page for 10.3 iTunes that I cannot get rid of.

    I cannot get into my iTunes store, I have an old windows PC that my iTunes is set up to. It keeps showing me a page with information on iTunes 10.3 every time I click on iTunes store & I cannot get rid of it. The links it gives me to download do not work, I have gone to apple.com & downloaded it but it still shows up in iTunes. I have tried everything I can think & every loop hole I can find & I can't get rid of it. I have contact Apple twice in the last two days, once through express lane that said they would get back to me within 24 hours(has been 48 with no response) & once through there 1800 number which gave me a machine to talk to that e-mailed me "tips" that I have already tried.
    Need HELP!
    Thanks!

    Sorry but the problem has re-occurred....
    I have to reboot the pc every single time because I lose my taskbar and desktop.  This time I noticed that it said it was loading the HP Adviser....and that is when I got a completely blank screen again. ????   I am at a loss  ???  It has no function keys on it at all...no x to close it....just a blank screen with jsut the words   Internet Protected mode on.   and then the sizing button and the off button next to it...(can be automatically block, choose content to block etc).  Its on off. 
    Now is it co-incidence but it was operating well until Magnetic changed the wallpaper (its supposed to do it every hour) and that seems to be when the issue re-occurred  ???
    Am I just best to uninstall the Magnetic wallpapers and just put up with the boring ones from Windows ?
    I really do not like Windows 7, its not as easy as it makes out...I prefer XP to 7 !!!  At least I learnt how to use that.
    Thanks

  • The instruction at "0x66604761" referenced memory at "0x6604761". The memory could not be "written". I cannot get rid of it. Any suggestions?

    Each time I close Firefox 4, this error pops up: ''''''the instruction at "0x66604761" referenced memory at "0x6604761". '''The memory could not be "written". '''I cannot get rid of it. I tried uninstalling Firefox etc and nothing works. It did it before the upgrade too.Any suggestions?

    Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the launch errors in iTunes?

  • HT2731 how can i sync my Apple ID to my iTunes sign-in?  I have an old ID showing up in my iTunes sign-in window and cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID.  I don't have the old password to the old ID in order to "manage" my account.

    how can I sync my Apple ID to my iTunes store sign-in window?  An old ID keeps showing in the iTunes sign-in window and I cannot get rid of it to show my current Apple ID. I don't have the password for the old ID in order to "manage" my account and make changes. Help.  Thanks.

    Did you create a new account or did you update your existing account with a new email address ? You can tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stpre and sign out of it and you can then sign with the new/updated account.
    If you did create a new account then your existing content will remain tied to your old account, so only that old account will be able to redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps. If you can't remember the password for it then you can try getting it reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it

    i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I have a wbsite appearing on the left side of the screen I cannot get rid of preventing me from viewing current website on full screen. How do I get rid of it?

    Above the website on the left it says "how to econ" I think I may have clicked on that when it appeared next to a site I had bookmarked. However the site appearing on the left is not the one I was trying to access. The site on the left takes up about two inches of screen and I cannot get rid of it.

    Can you attach a screenshot?
