I am all set..I reloaded it on a Vista laptop and it works
fine. The other system was Windows XP Service Pack2 base
install.

Dreamweaver CS3 Trial install error

My DreamWeaver CS3 Trial install crashes right after the
component load. screen. and I do have the new Adobe Reader. I also
have Photoshop. so what might be the problem. I will try to make a
video of it and upload it on youtube.
But anyways my system specs are
RAM = 512MB ;
Processor = AMD Athlon 2600 , MMX , 3DNOW , ~2.1GHz ;
Op system = Win XP Pro(using IIS)
so what should be wrong with this?

Sounds as though you're trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on
Mac OS X
10.3 or earlier. CS3 requires OS X 10.4 as a minimum. It
won't install
on earlier versions.

CS3 Extended activation error 194:8

So I bought a legit copy o photoshop
Albeit I bouhgt it from ebay, but it is definitely legit - not pirated , but a mfr sealed professionally produced copy of CS3 extended
I popped it open and found what I expected the documentation the DVD case with the training video and the serial number on the back.
I installed CS3 extended and plugged in my serial number and was greeted with a shiny green check mark (please note this is not just some generic photoshop liscence it is recognized by the software itself).
Then I began the activation nightmare that I am currently having.
I clicked activate
Activate now
Then I got an error telling me to pease try activating by calling customer care.
I did that I went through the automated system with m serial numberand activation key and then it said it was unable to process so I retried. Still no luck, then I got a live person on the phone.
Here is what they told me:
You do not have a valid serial number...
Odd, I thought, since your software recognized it as a valid liscence. I tried it in several other photoshop programs only to be greeted by a red x (liscence invalid) so the serial number I have is legit for photoshop CS3 extended, it just won't activate.
I tried to tell them that. I asked them what proof they needed from me barcode copy of serial number scan of packaging anything.
They told me I needed the reciept from an authorized reseller.
I'm afraid I didn't see in the liscence agreement where the agreement between provider and end user was limited by their distributorship.
Thank you to me too for buyinga legitimate copy and not going with a free alternative (paint.net as been fine in the past thank you).
So I continued the discussion until I finally asked for a supervisor who was slightly more willing to talk about a way we could resolve the activation problem.
I am stuck getting the original reciept from the seller to prove to Adobe that their product was in fact original purchased from them. You have to be kidding???!!!?!?!
It is unactivated so we aren't even talking about a liscence transfer this product is supposed to be registered to me.
And that still doesn't answer the question of how the serial number is recognized by the software and installation (meaning the serial to DVD matches) and the customer service people claim it is not valid. I even asked them to tell me if it was a liscence used as a known pirated copy or something that should invalidate it, but all they can tell me is that it is not valid for the product.
If that is the case why print it on the label and affix it to the software?
On the other hand perhaps it is just a database error on their part.
What if I bought it from london drugs and lost the reciept how woul they handle that.
There has to be a way to fix it, or is it really that they are unwilling to do anything for a customer.

To quote from that particular forum:
29. Mar 29, 2008 9:59 AM in response to: Bob Levine
Re: Thinking of buying from eBay?
Some of the pirated versions have a hacked activation and registration system that makes it look like it is being activated or registered with Adobe when it isn't. If you use the Adobe registration system, you will get a confirmation screen that says there will be a followup email with a free bonus (font or training video) -- although the email sometimes comes months later. Do you remember getting that screen and the email offer?
At least one f the two copies got that far, so what I am guessing is that one copy is a fake and one is legit, or there is a problem with legit copies printed in singapore due to piracy and or a mfr defect.
It still baffles me that accepting the liscence agreement activating the product and registering it do not gaurantee that it is in fact legitmate. I think after all those hoops the ownes once again should lie with Adobe I did everything in good faith to ensure I have a legitimate copy. (Sans buying from adobe or the local london drugs.)
Perhaps the seller will replace my "defective copy" or whatever you want to call it, or maybe in his batch of legitimate copies he did inadvertantly end up with a well produced pirated copy.
Still reading that forum. I am very interested
And yes I did send an email to adob piracy containing as much info about the suspected "illegal" copy as possible.
I'm prepared to cover the bses and worst case scenario I file a dispute with paypal and then purchase a second copy directly from Adobe I am in any event entitled to educational liscenced products which save me a bundle as is.

Illustrator CS3 Trial download error 2739

when i get to the point where i think everything is complete and ready to setup, i get this error. what does this error mean and is there a simple solution?

At least it wasn't bold, Scott. Anyway have you tried the CS3 Clean Script from the Adobe site? This should get rid of any problem parts of a trial install.

Error message when installing Indesign CS3 trial. I need help ASAP

I have searched the forums and adobe.com and have tried everything that I saw. None of it worked for me. I have tried and tried to install Indesign CS3 trial. I keep getting the error message: Indesign has encountered a problem and must close.
I have windows XP and plenty of RAM. What can the problem be? I have done everything I can think of to do. I added more memory and did everything the forums said to try. I really need this for my class. I am getting behind. I cannot afford to buy the program. Please help!!!!!
Thank you,
Teddy

If you scroll down you'll see there's Windows info there, too. Aside from being sure the fonts are activated, you might try renaming the Sing folder, which should be in Program Files\Common\Adobe.
You could also try Help > Configure Plugins and disable the Sing.apln, but I don't know how you can get there if the program won't start. Maybe going to the Adobe InDesign CS3\Plug-Ins\Text folder and changing the name from SING.apln to SING.bak would do the trick.
If it's really the SING problem, that ought to fix it, but you won't be able to work with Oriental languages.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Trial Version Activation Error

I downloaded a trial of Windows Server 2008 R2 a few months ago. I may have loaded the ISO onto another PC for testing, but the testing is no longer active. However, I am testing a new environment where I need to load Server 2008 R2 onto
2 different servers for testing, before I activate. I will be purchasing keys once my lab is fully functioning if needed. One Virtual Machine will be moved to a server which will be running Server 2012 R2 Datacenter in the future.
Back to the problem at hand. When I try to Activate my Server 2008 R2 copy to get 180 days trial started, it errors out with 0xC004F074. We don't use a KMS Server, and anything I can find seems to refer to this as an error. I just need
to activate a trial version.

Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
Regarding the current issue, please understand this error code appears only during the time of activation when the Software Licensing Service reports that it cannot activate the product key
since the Key Management Service cannot be contacted. Please follow the steps below to activate the machine again to see if it works.
1) Open cmd(command prompt) with administrator rights
2) Type slmgr.vbs –ipk xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx (x should be replaced by your 25 digit product key)
3) Hit enter
4) Type slmgr.vbs –ato (This will change the product key)
5) Hit enter
For details, please refer to the following article.

Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

How do I open a library book on a recently acquired Samsung Nook? I get "too many activations" error. I have an active adobe digital editions and my other devices work fine. Custumer Support was unable to get the new device activated.

I have a library book on the bookshelf of a newly acquired Samsung Nook but I cannot open it. My other devices work fine but I cannot activate the new unit. I get a "too many activations" error message. Customer Services say I have a valid license but they deemed my problem to be a technical issue and referred me to the forum. Thanks

Step 1 - by trial and error...
So far, I have been able to create physical files containing MP3 and JPG on the NAS using the Windows XP systems to copy from shared locations on the Vista and Win7 boxes. This process has been aided by the use of a 600 GB SATA 2 capable hard drive enclosure. I first attach to Win 7 or Win Vista and reboot to see the local drive spaces formatted on the portable device. Then I copy files from the user's private directories to the public drive space. When the portable drive is wired to an XP box, I can use Windows to move the files from the portable device to the NAS without any of the more advanced file attributes being copied to the NAS. Once the files are on the NAS, I can add the new folder(s) to iTunes on any of the computers and voila, the data becomes sharable via iTunes. So far, this works for anything that I have completely purchased, or for MP3's I made from the AIC files created when I purchased alblums via iTunes.
I have three huge boxes full of vynl records I've accumulated. The ones that I've successfully digitized via a turntable attached to the sound card on one of my computers and third party software, have found their way to the NAS after being imported into iTunes and using it to bring down available album art work. In general I've been reasonably well pleased with the sound quality of digital MP3 files created this way, but the software I've been using sometimes has serious problems automatically separating individual songs from the album tracks and re-converting "one at a time" isn't very efficient.

DW CS3 trial

I wanted to see if CS3 would run on my new notebook Core Duo
2 with Vista Home Premium? Min requirements say yes. I currently
have DW MX on it as well as Expression Web.(I liked the way EW
handled CSS but the crashes in the middle of a code session is
annoying) The CSS features on DW CS3 seem to me the ticket and I
wanted to try it out on the new computer. Downloaded the DW CS3
trial and ran setup several times but all I get is "there seems to
be a problem with your trial, try reloading" error msg when I try
to run it. After an hour of frustration I called Adobe and was told
by the "technical support person" that DW CS3 is only compatable
with XP and Vista business.??? Anyone know if this is true? I don't
think so and believe the problem may some kind of wierd
compatibility issue with MS EW??? Would like to know before I pony
up for the upgrade.

Search for the post by gorodek about modifying the
ContainerProxy.js file.
It seems to have solved the problem for several Photoshop
users, and it's
solved the problem for some DW users as well.

CS6 Activation error -- HELP!

I purchased CS 6 a month ago. Today the Acrobat Pro X stopped working. It says activation error. I followed the directions, went to Adobe website, entered the one code provided with my CS6, and it says it is already activated and can't be activated again.
Ok, so I'm between a rock and a hard place.
What to do? The wait time on the telephone is between 1-2 HOURS, the chat is unavailable, and there is nothing in the Forum that is helpful.
What do I do?
Thank you,
Joyce

It happened again. This is the fifth time.
Windows 7
CS6
every few months it loses the ability to print anything to pdf, says the system is not activated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and followed all the (partial) instructions provided on the Support website, all to no avail.
Four days ago I spent an hour and a half on the phone with Adobe support and he assured me it was fixed.
Today it will not print to pdf, says now that the printer is not properly defined on my system. None of the CX6 components will print to pdf, and the pdf "printer" itself is not define.
I have been on hold for more than an hour. I don't know whether to give up and try another line (and lose my place in line if this is still alive), or just reinstall AGAIN!
The last time this happened (April 10) I was about to go to England. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and left it as a free trial for 30 days. I worked just great as a free trial. Only now that I have refreshed the activation it is blocking me from completing my work AGAIN, and right before the weekend. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
If you have any suggestions, I am more than heppy to hear them.
Best wishes,
Joyce

Dreamweaver CS3 trial question

First and only to make sure I don't come out looking totally
stupid, is the Dreamweaver CS3 compatible with Vista?
If so, why can I NOT use it? I click the I want to try for 30
days and it gives me an error.
I also tried the Photoshop CS3 trial a few months ago and it
did the same thing and nothing I did could bring it up so I
uninstalled it.
what the hell?
Thanks
George

I don't even have Vista and I'm getting the same problem. I
have Windows XP Home Edition and I recently rebooted my PC yet
before the reboot all Adobe products had always worked fine. Now I
just get an error message saying 'A problem was encountered while
trying to load the trial period for Adobe CS3' and then tries to
force me to enter a serial code which I don't have. Is there no fix
because I know that plenty of others are having the same
problem.

Installed Photoshop CS3 trial, now previous Photoshop 7 won't work

I've downloaded and installed PS CS3 trial and given it a go but decided to stick with version 7 as it's still doing everything I need.
So when the trial period on CS3 has expired I've uninstalled it but now Photoshop 7 won't run. I get this message a few seconds after I click on the PS icon . ..
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred due to a program error. Photoshop will now exit"
I've reinstalled PS7 several times to no avail.
Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
Any idea's how I can get PS7 working again?
Cheers
steve

>Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
Photoshop 7 will not run under Leopard...

So is it just me, or is Mavericks a bust? My MBP runs way hotter now. I don't have time for trial and error solutions. Is Apple offering a way to downgrade back to Mountain lion? I want out of Mavericks ASAP.

So is it just me, or is Mavericks a bust? My MBP runs much hotter since the upgrade. Why do I need ot sit around watching Activity Monitor, manually controlling my fans, and deleting extensions that I enjoy using. Don't even get me started on the Quicktime/Mov issues. I had none of these issues on Mountian Lion. Searching these forums, I see it's not just me. Why would Apple release a new system w/o peoperly testing it on MBPs?
I don't have time for trial and error solutions. I've tried the obvious ones. No help. Is Apple offering a way to downgrade back to Mountain lion? Or better yet, a Mavericks update that adresses these problems? As of now, I want out of Mavericks ASAP.
My processor is 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7.

Nobody owns a ML install disc - ML was only ever distributed as a download from the Mac App Store.
If you have a Time Machine backup, you can boot into recovery mode and restore from your Moutain Lion TM backup volume. If you have a system clone, then you can boot from the clone, and just clone ML back onto your internal drive.
Going back to your previous installation from a backup should be trivially simply if you have the backup in hand.
