Error message: Your trial has expired. Unable to use adobe reader to open PDF's.

I have reinstalled the reader several times and keep getting the same error message. My CS6 is working fine.

Does the error actually say "Unable to use Adobe Reader..."?
If not, it could be that you have the trial version of Acrobat installed and were using it to open PDF's instead of Reader (Reader doesn't have a trial)?
If so, you can change your file associations to open PDF's with Reader (how to do this varies by your OS) or install Reader.

  • Acrobat subscription edition gives message "your trial has expired"

    Yesterday I bought a month to month subscription to Acrobat Pro but I'm having trouble with it. I had previously downloaded and installed a trial, and the trial had expired. That's why I bought the subscription. So I re-downloaded and re-installed Acrobat Pro from the "download" link on page of my account that lists my purchases, but when I run it it still says "Your trial has expired". The install date on Acrobat shows today's date, so it's not the old installation but the new one that is giving this message. Am I doing something wrong?

    I found the solution in another post. Just fill in email address and password and subscription is recognized.

  • Unable to use Adobe Reader on some PDFs -- Please Help

    Hi.  I have a new HP laptop.  It uses Windows 7.  I have Adobe Reader -- I had 9.0 and was having problems so took it back to the store and they have now loaded 9.3.  It is hit or miss on opening some pdfs.  The only error message I get is that "there is a problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Please try again.  I am not technically oriented, and this is very frustrating.  I tried to call Adobe and they said that I need to work off of this forum.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Are these scanned documents?  If scanned documents have not been OCR-ed, then they are just images without any searchable text.
    Try if you can highlight any text in such documents.

  • I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired

    I purchased adobe acrobat but every time I try to open it I get a message saying trial has expired.
    Acrobate downloaded successfully.  no problem there.  but it won't open.  only gives me the error message that trial has expired and do I want to buy it.  i already bought it so...  i'm stuck.  I have tried shutting everything down and starting again (twice) still the same error.  tried re-downloading. no help.  any ideas?

    Is it giving you any option to sign in or license this software. If yes click on sign in/License this software to proceed further and activate it. If it is perpetual license activate by entering your serial key and signing in and if it is a subscription then just sign in with your Adobe it an dit will get activated.

  • How to resolve "Your Trial Has Expired" message when launching InDesign CS6

    Hello, just joined the Creative Cloud via the "Free" option.  The Adobe Application Manager downloaded and installed after which I was presented the list of Adobe Products which I could "Try" for the 30-day trial period.  After installing InDesign CS6 for trial, I'm getting a "Your Trial has Expired" message when I launch InDesign C6.
    My PC environment is: Windows 7 Pro - SP1 (x64 bit)
    I do have Adobe Acrobat X installed (with Enfocus PitStop v10 plugin)
    Any thoughts as to what is causing this error??
    How do I resolve it??

    Hi MickyRatz,
    If the trial version indicates as being expired then it has expired. There is no way to extend the trial.
    You can find more details at Adobe trial software expired early -http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/trial-software-expired-early .html.

  • My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download

    My Adobe trial for Photoshop Elements 10 for the Mac was over and I wanted to buy the application. The screen message was "Your trial has expired...but the fun doesn't have to end! Buy now to continue using Photoshop Elements 10 without having to download or re-install. " and then the button "Buy Now". When I hit the Buy Now button I am put in a field to buy Photoshop Elements 13, with no way to change to Elements 10. I do not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling etc. In fairness, it's been over a month since making the decision to buy. Still, I consider this a nightmare. Any ideas on how to buy the app I've got withou having to purchase a whole new one? Thanks.
    If worse comes to worse, will I need to uninstall the trial if I buy a new version? Can I use part of it lime download assistant?

    Adobe does not sell older versions of their software.  If you wish to purchase an older version you will have to find and take your chances with a third party vendor.

  • Creative Cloud subscription, "your trial has expired."

    I have been a Creative Cloud subscriber for more than a year, yet each time I start up an application I am told, "your trial has expired." Each time for each application it seems I must "click license this software" and then go through the log in process before I go to work.
    Why? This is really frustrating!

    The problem above came back for the past two months (seems like after the monthly renewal kicks in). I also keep getting a notification in my Windows Action Center that says, "Complete your Adobe ID profile and register your products." I've gone over my registration info comprehensively. I don't see any information missing.
    Each time it is, I've got an idea. I want to turn it into something and I have to deal with this BS yet again. This may seem like minor irritation, but it speaks to me that Adobe doesn't value me as a customer.
    I'l appreciate any help you can give. Thank you.

  • Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified

    Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7.  It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
    I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone.  Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

    You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:
    iPhone
    It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than  just "G4" will get you help faster.

  • Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Hi, I have a brand new imac which i got today and when I open Iphoto all i get is the error message "Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable" any ideas? thanks

    Are there photos in the Library? If not then just trash it and launch iphoto. It will make a new one.
    If there are pics in it then Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  

  • Suddenly iPhoto gives me the error message "your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable".  HELP

    Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'.  What can I do?

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
