Dont Install Trial Lightroom with other Adobe Products!!!!!!!!

I have been experiencing many licensing proplems with Adobe and have found if you have any licensed products installed and then install any of the the adobe trial software it will mess up all your installed applications.  I have spent quite a bit of time on the phone with support and they have fix no other than to uninstall ALL adobe software and re-install.
Example:  I have Adobe Design Premium CS3, Adobe Web Premium CS3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0 installed on a computer.  If you install the trailware and let trial run out of its trial period without buying or uninstalling....ALL your other Licensed Adobe products will NOT work.  I have had this happen to me 3 times and every time I contact support they say to uninstall everything and re-install.  I just realized today on my own that this was the issue.  I actually tested this out on a few other computers and can confirm any expired trial software from Adobe will prevent your licensed products from working.
Since support is NOT willing to help find out why this is happening, I am hoping this saves at least a few people from going thru the frustration that I have experienced.

This

is the ADOBE licensening repair tool. It worked for me
There is further advice here
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html
This document
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401346.html
is also of relevence. Unfortunatly it refers to the locations for LR1 and these have changed in LR 2. I am not sure what the new locations are, but if you go back to support refering them to this may get them to tell you...they may even update the document.
Interesting that ADOBE support didn't refer you to it...
Uninstalling will not work and they should be aware of this.I had the problem recently with an old ADOBE Acrobat trial causing problems for CS4.I wasn't aware that LR trials could cause problems as I have never had one and it doesn't use the standard ADOBE licensing proceddures in that it doesn't require activation and the trial copy is the same as the "real" copy. But give it a whirl.

  • Integrating the new text engine with other Adobe products?

    Hello,
    Is there any plan to integrate the new text engine with other
    adobe products that dos not support RTL languages?
    In famous products like AfterEffects or Director, No way to
    type correctly arabic text or (rtl) generally - The only way is
    converting the text to a graphic format in an external program !!
    And there is no Middle East versions for these products.
    So, I wish adobe thinks to take this step in near future.
    Thank you,

    I found this blog post about an unsupported feature in CS4 products for Arabic, Indic and other scripts.
    http://www.thomasphinney.com/tag/indesign/
    Since several Adobe products such as After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator use the same text engine you might want to try copy-pasting Arabic text from the Photoshop CS4 template provided in this blog post to After Effects CS4 and see if it works.  AFAIK Director uses a different text engine from PS, AI and AE.

  • Familar with other Adobe products but new to Encore...

    Hello everyone,
    I'm completely new to Adobe Encore but have worked with many other Adobe products such as Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and I am currently learning Dreamweaver. I recently picked up the Adobe Production bundle and am planning to put together a Demo Reel. I have heard that encore would be the best place to put everything together for a DVD. Since I am new to the whole program though, I don't exactly have a firm grasp of even where to begin. Does anyone know of some good websites I can venture to, to help get my feet wet with the program? I would greatly appreciate any sites that someone could posts or even books that I could read up on. Sorry if there is a huge faq page some where on the Adobe website here and I've missed it. Thanks!

    I would also strongly suggest Jeff Bellune's Encore book, A Focal Easy Guide to Adobe EncoreDVD 2.0, Focal Press. Though the name contains "EncoreDVD 2.0," 100% of the book will apply to ALL versions of Encore, from 2.0 to CS4. Now, the Adobe Dynamic Link in CS4 is not covered, but that is a minor point, and the CS4 Help files (plus this forum) cover that very well. Though there are no AV files in the book, it is very clear, and will step the reader through both Encore and the DVD-specs, by which we all must live. This is my go-to reference for anything related to Encore and is just as useful now, as it was with the introduction of En 2.0.
    Good luck,

  • Lightroom And Other Adobe Products With Direct X 10

    I am just curious about whether or not Abobe products use Direct X as well as OpenGL and if in the future it will make full use of Direct X 10 on Vista machines. Direct X 10 seems to have some of the gamers positively drooling.

    Eric,
    The GTX 650 would be priced slightly higher than the GT 640 - and then, the OP would have to "settle" for only 1GB of graphics RAM instead of 2GB. The GTX 650 is currently not available with 2GB of RAM.
    Both the GT 640 and the GTX 650 are based on the same GPU - the GK107, with 384 CUDA cores. The two major differences are that the GK107 on the GTX 650 is clocked higher than the one on the GT 640, and that the GTX 650 has almost triple the memory bandwidth of the GT 640 (80 GB/s versus 28.8 GB/s).

  • Is there a way to merge videos together with AME, or with other Adobe product(s)?

    Ideally, I would like to import three videos into the Adobe Media Encoder for re-encoding and merge them together into only one resulting video file.  Is this possible?

    It's currently not possible to do this directly in AME. You'd have to put the clips together in a Premiere sequence or AfterEffects comp and export that sequence/comp to AME. I'm not sure which other apps allow you to essentially stitch together separate clips.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them

    I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product?  We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated.  Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them.   I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs.  when is the camera raw update coming out.  I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

    This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
    Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

  • Possible to do the 3d motion tracking text in video with only adobe products?

    I am very interested in doing some 3d text in some video with motion tracking, such as you see in the opening shots in the show Fringe.
    You will have a scene of maybe a street in the city, the camera is looking forward and moving, you have 3d block text that seems to be just hovering there up off the ground but looks like a real physical 3d object in the shot as the camera moves around.
    I have been looking up tutorials for this in After effects on youtube but they always use other non adobe products as well such as boujou or 3ds max,  I am wondering if it is possible to make the same shot with only adobe products. If so, what whould I use other than after effects.  And lastly, can anyone point me to a good free tutorial using only adobe programs if there is one out there?
    I have seen one video of someone adding text to a moving video but it was flat or plastered onto a wall and not the nice block letters that look like a sculpture in the video.
    Thanks.

    I am wondering if it is possible to make the same shot with only adobe products.
    No, you can't and that settles all your other questions. For tutorials, refer to VideoCoPilot's matchmoving and set extension stuff, but even then you will need to at least use some comemrcial third-party plug-ins.

  • Installing Acrobat Broke Other Adobe Products

    Hello there,
    Hopefully this is the appropriate forum... I recently installed Acrobat 9, which broke all of my other installed Adobe products. I'm officially a Technical writer, so I have RoboHelp (version 8 if it matters) and Captivate (6); I recently took on some other duties, so I acquired a license for CS5 and most recently one for Acrobat 9. I had CS5 and RoboHelp/Captivate existing together peacefully, but when I installed/activated Acrobat 9, everything else stopped working (though Acrobat works).
    The CS5 programs seem to have been deregistered entirely because they're now being treated like trials again whenever I open any of those programs (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, etc). Starting RoboHelp gives me an error 5: "This product has has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched." And Captivate just plain won't launch (says it has stopped working moments after launch).
    I'm assuming these problems are all related, but I don't really know how beyond a licensing conflict, and I don't know how to fix them without uninstalling everything and starting from scratch. So far I've tried restarting a couple times, as the RoboHelp error suggested. Before I realized it was everything and not just RoboHelp I also attempted to uninstall RoboHelp and delete some folders, as suggested in this forum post. Neither helped (and RoboHelp wouldn't uninstall properly either). I'm not even sure where to begin to search for a solution to this problem, so I'm hoping some Adobe experts can shine some light on what's going wrong here.
    Thanks a ton to anyone who can help!

    I still haven't been able to figure this out. I'm probably going to make a support call today, but I'd still appreciate any help. Thanks!
