Captivate 8 trial version wont open

I am trying to open Captivate 8 after downloading a trial version but it won't open. Any ideas?

This is how I fixed it with instructions I received from ajit:
Hi There, The error you were getting because both files ( .7z and .exe ) of Captivate 8 not downloaded at the same location.  Please find the steps of download and installation of Captivate 8 ( 64 bit ) :- Open the link mention below in any Web Browser say Internet Explorer https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate Sign in with your Adobe id and  Password, then you will be redirected to download Web Page of Captivate 8.   Do not click on Download. Kindly let that window open as it is.  Now Copy and paste the link mention below in the new tab/window of the same Web Browser in which you have opened the above link. http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win64/Captivate_8_x64_LS21.7z  Then Save the file. Do the same for the link mention below and save this .exe file as well. http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win64/Captivate_8_x64_LS21.exe Make sure both the files (.7z and .exe) save/download at the same location/folder. NOTE: Wait for both the files to finish download and then run the .exe file. Once you run the .exe, it will start extracting the .7z file and will provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop which will contain setup.exe. Run this setup.exe to install Captivate 8.   Regards,
Ajit

  • Why doesn't Captivate 7 (trial version) open on my Mac after installation?

    I have installed Captivate 7 trial version. I double click the icon to launch, however nothing. I have restarted, and same thing. I did read something about launching from Flash drives, however I did not read further, as I intended to fully install on my MacBook Pro. It has an SSD. Is this the problem?
    I know this is a product I will buy, however I wanted to run through some tutorials first. Not much point in buying if it won't run on my hardware.
    Any help or suggestions appreciated.

    Are you on Mac OSX 10.9? If so, here's your answer: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2013/11/announce-captivate-7-update-for-mac-os-10-9-maver icks-expected-mid-november.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A +wbt24%2FlNsw+(Learning+Evangelist

  • Captivate 6 Trial Version

    I had created/published a project in Captivate 6 trial version. Now the published file doesnot launch, it displays a expired message. The .cptx file still works the same though.
    I just wanted to know, if this is a bug or it is designed to be expired after the trial version gets expired????
    Thanks,
    Soumya

    This is now a well-known issue.  A project created with a Trial version of Captivate 6 WILL expire, just as the trial will also expire.
    You need to open the project file in a fully licensed version of Captivate 6, go to Edit > Preferences > Project > Start and End, find the checkbox there for the expiry, and deselect it.  Then republish and deploy the project again.

  • My keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    my keynote has frozen and wont open but the saved version wont open either. if i restart my laptop i am afraid that it will erase my work. please help me

    Try this repair for Keynote 6.2,  ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
    1 
    delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, using Appcleaner from Mac Update, its a freeware application
    2 
    empty the trash:  Finder > Empty Trash
    3 
    Shut down your Mac, wait 30 seconds, then power on the Mac, immediately after the start chime, hold down the Shift key
    When you see the grey Apple symbol and progress indicator (a spinning gear), release the Shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, then hold down the Shift key again as you click Log in. 
    Let the Mac fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
    4
    when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and click  repair disc permissions
    5
    when complete, restart the Mac normally, Apple menu > Restart
    6 
    install Keynote from the Mac App Store
    let us know if this helped

  • Can Adobe Captivate free trial version convert Japanese text memo

    Can Adobe Captivate free trial version change Japanese sentence (put in slide memo) into Japanese voice
    after pushing conversion button ?
    perhaps text to speech engine converts alphabet letter into voice, so I tried to change Japanese letter into conversion , after converted there was no reaction, but I put an English letter and converted , English voice was occurered.
    Is this right?
    sorry to have writted bad English expression . Please someone to anser what I know, thank you.

    Hi Picyan,
    The text to speech functionality in Captivate only supports English at this moment.  More languages will come later but I don't know when Japanese will be available.

  • Adobe captivate 4, (Trial Version)

    I'm trying to install Captivate 4 (trial Version) and its stuck on "Adobe Captivate 4 Installer: Initialization 90%" At the bottom it says; "Checking System profile"
    I have tried most of the suggestions on the support page to no avail. Please help.
    Mike

    Hi Mike
    Sorry for not answering over in the Forum Comments area. Many of the folks there are just plain rude with misdirected posts. It would have seemed simpler to have just moved your post where it should be, but I didn't wish to cause another blamestorm and confusion for folks that should know better. Thanks for understanding.
    Have you tried disconnecting from a network? I've seen reports of users that have issues trying to install while connected to the LAN. That one should be easy to try.
    You may also need to try installing after creating a new user profile.
    Best of luck to you... Rick

  • Captivate 6 Trial Version Background Issue

    Hi All,
    I upgraded to Captivate 6 Trial Version yesterday from Captivate 5 (while they sort out the purchasing of 6) because I wanted to take advantage of the Table of Contents features in the newer versions. I had created and published a screen capture with audio (about 130 slides; the CPTX is 154 MB; Windows 7 machine). It was perfect when published as an SWF with Captivate 5. Now that I have re-published it in 6 (several times) as an SWF, it is mangling the slide backgrounds on slides that have Typing Text or the Mouse selecting a checkbox. It appears to randomly insert the background from the first slide of the file and sometimes confuses and/or overlaps other background images.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    PD

    Since your main master slide is blank, you could have activated the 'User Master Slide Background', and this can be done with all slides selected at once (use CTRL-A in the Filmstrip). Would also have been possible (selecting all) for deselecting Project background. But that means that you have that background as a Project background, which seems very strange...

  • Can't able to open CP (ver 5) file in Captivate 7(trial version)

    Hi,
    I have .cp files, I think those files are from Adobe Captivate 5.0 or 5.5 version. I downloaded trial version of Adobe Captivate but those files are not opening in 7.  Is there any way I can able to open.
    While opening .cp file, its giving error like below screen. Can anyone able to guide to open file in captivate 7?? or any converter avaialble?
    also, I seen some forums where it says there may be hidden file but I didn't get it.

    Only way is to try to get somewhere a copy of 5.5, as an intermediary step. And even then, converting a cp to cptx will need a lot more work. The remake was very drastic, text may shift or change fonts, you have to be sure that everything was AS3 (because CP4 still allowed AS2), question slides, animations will almost certainly cause problems. I really don't know about another way, sorry. After all we are talking about a time lag of more than 4 years, 4 versions (5, 5.5, 6, 6.1) have come and gone since, which is very long in software land

  • I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

    I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

    A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically.  A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.

  • Why did my Captivate 8 trial version end early?

    Downloaded on 3/3/2015, used a few times, opened this morning, it said 24 days left for trial version. Had it open and worked in it for approx. 10.5 hours. Closed my file to work on some audio.  Realized I needed some info from my captivate file, tried to reopen it but it said 00 days in trial?  Now what?  I have a file I need to finish tonight to deliver to the client tomorrow.  Can anyone assist?

  • Problems installing Captivate 3 Trial Version

    Hi all,
    Im experiencing a problem with the trial version of Captivate
    3 - i install it and run it for the first time, and when i select
    the trial option, the following error comes up -
    "A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial
    period for Adobe Captivate 3.
    Click Quit to see if restarting your computer or
    re-installing the software fixes the problem. Otherwise, click
    Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial
    number to begin using the product without trial."
    On clicking continue, it throws me back to the previous
    screen, greying out the trial version option.
    I reinstalled and restarted, and the problem persists. Any
    ideas?
    Thanks,
    Malcolm

    Hi Malcolm,
    The first thing I would do is to make sure that you have
    disabled any anti-virus software you may have running in the
    background. If you still encounter the same error message then I
    would recommend you contact an Adobe Representative in your local
    area. Alternatively you could also file a bug report using the
    Adobe
    Captivate Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    I hope you get the issue sorted out soon.
    Regards - Mark

  • Adobe Captivate 5 Trial version

    Hi All,
    I just downloade the Trial version of Captivate 5 and have a few questions about it:
    1) What is the maximum lenght of full-motion recording in Captivate 5 ?and is 1024 x 678 the maxium size that can be exported in F4V format ?
    2) Are the project files (.cptx) created with the trial version valid and remain valid for the duration of the trial version only or are they valid indefinitely ? What I mean by this is can I use the .cptx files created with the trial version with a licensed version I buy later on or with a trial version that my colleague is using ??
    We are currently evaluating this product. I would appreciate a detailed response to the above.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jason

    The trial version is the same as the fully licensed version, you're not missing out or being restricted on any features. I'm looking into the length of a FMR recording, I know that the slide length maximum is 599 seconds.So if you record with FMR for 14 minutes, you would have 2 slides, one at 599 seconds, one at the other 240 something. I imagine it has something to do with the amount of RAM you have installed on your computer. But I'm not sure. I'll look into it...
    As far as the CPTX extention, that is just the new file extention for CP5. To answer your question, Yes, the projects you build with the trial version will still be usable once you activate it. However, you cannot go back to a previous release of Captivate (Like Captivate 4). Captivate 3 or 4 projects can be upgraded to CP5 files.
