Expired CS6?

Hi,
I bought CS6 in october 2012 and activated it. Today i was starting up my suite and it told me my licence was expired?? A form popped up to enter my serial number again. I am afraid this is some kind of hack to get my serial number? Now i am on al trail version.... Is it save to fill it in? and is it possible that my licence is expired?
Thanks, Marjon

Marjon,
When you bought CS6, the licence is perpetual.
I believe this is one for Customer Care (tick I Still Need Help and hope for an agent available for a chat),

Print to PDF defaults to expired CS6

Hello - I own Design Premium CS5 with Acrobat Pro. I downloaded CS6 Creative Cloud /Acrobat Pro X but it has expired. Now when I print to PDF it defaults to CS6 and won't let me print to PDF. How do I set my default PDF printer in Windows back to my CS5 Acrobat? Thanks!!

Have you removed CS6 CC? If so, you may need to re-install Acrobat from your CS 5 suite.

Trial licensing

I need to license an expired CS6 trial that has expired and no longer have the serial number

If you have purchased the software then you should be able to follow the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968 to find your serial number on Adobe.com.

Creative Cloud pops up with trail will expire in 0 days when I run Dreamweaver CS6

When I click on the icon for Dreamweaver CS6 a panel for Dreamweaver CC pops up with the message “Your trial will expire in 0 days” “00 days remaining. It offers “Buy Now” and “Continue Trial”. When I click the red x to close out I am returned to Dreamweaver CS6.
I reinstalled Dreamweaver CS6 but the problem persists. I do not want Dreamweaver CDC.
I tried to follow the instructions In http://helpx.adobe.com/dreative-suite ... "Creative Cloud Help/Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CC ..." but I lost the thread.
I am at a loss at to what to do now. Please help.

Here are two additional items that may be helpful:
1.    I reported that Under Step 3 “Check Your Host Files – Still Have Problems? Reset Host Files” I did not find entries that reference activate.adobe.com. On further checking I found the Notepad file. It contained the following information:
Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
For example:

      38.25.63.10    x.acme.com              # x client host
localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
        127.0.0.1      localhost
        ::1            localhost
2.    On Saturday, 23 August 2014 I received an e-mail from Adobe Creative Cloud [email protected] that said
Welcome. We’re glad you’ve joined us.
Thanks for joining Creative Cloud. We thought we’d send along a few ideas to help you get started.
* Get 30-day trials of all-new versions of creative desktop apps that make everyday tasks easier and faster while delivering new support for cutting-edge hardware and standards.
* Easily upload and share your files, or post your work to the Behance community of creative professionals to get feedback, find inspiration, and connect with new opportunities.
* Express your creativity on-the-go using our new and improved range of mobile apps.
Get started
Make something great,
The Creative Cloud Team
This is odd. What made them think I joined Creative Cloud? The Creative Cloud program is not installed on the computer and I have not downloaded Creative Cloud trial version or a paid version.
GOAL: My goal is to eliminate the CC pop up that occurs every time I access Dreamweaver CS6. I am satisfied with Dreamweaver CS6. I do not want to lose the CS6 capability. I do not want Creative Cloud trial version or the paid version.
So far I have been unable to remove the pop up and I can’t find a way to phone or e-mail Adobe Technical Support. When I received the CC Welcome message, I considered the following approach:
1.    Accept the invitation to Get Started and install the 30-day trial version
2.    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to uninstall Creative Cloud.
This approach might work. It is equally possible it would further complicate the problem.
Should I accept the CC invitation to Get Started with CC and then use CC Cleaner to uninstall the Creative Cloud program? Is there an alternative approach that will work?
Thank you.

How do I enter CS6 license key when Adobe Application Manager immediately tries to authenticate against my expired Creative Cloud membership?

I have CS6 Master Suite installed along side my now-expired Creative Cloud apps (I am evaluating whether to renew my subscription at this time). Both CS6 and Creative Cloud are currently unlicensed due to a snafu with my educational license, but I have a new CS6 license that I am trying to register CS6 with. However, upon launching any CS6 program, Adobe Application Manager then launches and tells me that my Creative Cloud membership is now expired. How/where to I enter my CS6 license key? I have already tried entering my new license on my Adobe account profile > “My products and services”, and reinstalled CS6 applications from my original disk image (MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.dmg).
Thanks in advance,
Liz

Figured this one out from another thread, after which I was able to sign in again with my Adobe ID and my software was ready to use:
Windows:
Delete these folders
SLStore from C:\ProgramData\Adobe
SLCache from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
OOBE from C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac:
Delete SLStore and SLCache from /Library/Application Support/Adobe
Delete OOBE from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

As we were instructed I attempted to download the new Adobe Cloud to replace Adobe CS6 as it is about to expire. It had been downloading for about an hour when I lost power due to a storm. It was only off 20 minutes. When it came back up it had stopped because my internet of course was also off. Now I have tried to do it again and it tells me “that number has already been approved and uploaded” However, it has not because I do not have the cloud programs yet. I still have my CS6 but I am not sure what to do from here. Can you assist with this please?

After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move. Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way. Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

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.

CS6 which I own and have used for years won't open. Blocked because the system thinks I am a CC user and my trial period has expired

I own the suit of Adobe Programs which I have been using for years. They are paid for and registered and I have serial numbers.
Today, I cannot open the programs. The message is: Design and Web Premium Trial. Expired. I do not want to use CC. I tried it for a day quite a while ago and decided just to buy the programs.
What can I do?
How to get back to my paid programs?

If you see a trial screen, click on "license this software". I forget if you have to sign in with your Adobe ID/password before or after, but it will give you a serial number option. That is you would see a button, "I have a serial number" or a screen where you input your serial number.
Once accepted, your software will go back to its' licensed state.
Also if you still have problems be sure you are still not on any 30 day Cloud plan that you must cancel. Uninstalling CC may not be enough.
Contact Customer Care to cancel your trial or plan.

Getting "licensing for this product has expired" message after reinstalling CS6

I recently upgraded my operating system on the same computer from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit. This of course meant I had to do a clean reinstall of all my software.
When I reinstalled Photoshop CS6, I got an error "licensing for this product has expired."
In hindsight, after researching the problem, I realize I should had deactivated CS6 on my 32-bit installation before upgrading the computer, but I didn't. I did, however, upgrade to a new hard drive when I upgraded my operating system, so I was able to put the old hard drive back in and deactivate the original installation after the fact.
However, on the 64- bit installation, even when I try uninstalling CS6 and installing it again, it accepts my serial number, but then gives me the "licensing for this product has expired message."
I have tried contacting Adobe online chat help twice. Each time I get an agent quickly, but after asking a few questions they tell me they need to transfer me to the "install department." The other night I was left in limbo a half hour waiting for the install department before I gave up. Tonight I've been on for almost an hour and am still waiting.
I assume that CS6 has left something in the registry of the 64-bit installation that no longer allows me to install Photoshop with my current (valid) serial number, but I have no idea how to fix it or get through to Adobe help. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just to update this, I was able to connect with Adobe by phone and resolve the problem. The guy on the phone was much more helpful than my two previous attempts to contact Adobe by their online chat.
The guy had me repeat the steps outlined in Solution 3 in the document that Bill refers to, however we also did the additional step of running a program called Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool. That program removed the files from my system that were preventing Photoshop from running.
Thanks all.

Cannot use PhotoShop CS6 after trial expired, even after purchasing Creative Cloud Student Edition

Hi.
I had PhotoShop CS6 trial, which expired.
I have purchased Creative Cloud student edition, I receive a message that my PhotoShop trial has expired.
I am prompted to purchase the product to extend it, or type in the product's serial number
(I never received a serial number.)
I paid for Creative Cloud and have an order number, I should not be having this issue.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled PhotoShop CS6 multiple times, I also use DreamWeaver and am fearful that I will encounter the same issue. How can I use the Photoshop CS6 after I have paid for it?
Curonda in Milwaukee, WI.

Hi.
The trial expired 2 weeks ago - Monday.
I purchased the Cloud Yesterday, also 2 weeks ago Monday 10/15/2012.
I purchased it twice thinking 1 purchase did not complete.
I still will need to request a refund for 1, I've been too busy between, work, school, and kid. I'm at work now.

Curonda,
Can you let us know the date when your trial expired and when you bought the Creative Cloud Subscription?
Thanks

Can't load previously installed Acrobat 9 Pro after my CS6 trial expired.

Can't load previously installed Acrobat 9 Pro after my CS6 trial expired. Keeps asking to buy the trial version or license the software (in reference to the CS6 trial, even though I'm loading my own Acrobat 9 Pro from my CS4 Creative Suite I purchased and had previously installed--still installed to my knowledge...at least I never uninstalled it anyway, if that helps)
Thank you!

Yes. I have tried to repair it, but it still didn't work. I had to completely uninstall - reboot - then do a clean install. Works beautifully for a few weeks, then nothing.

My registered/activated CS6 is now opening as an expired trial, and my serial number will not work.

I've been using this product for over a year and a half, and it is suddenly opening as an expired trial version, which will not let me enter the serial number I was given when I originally downloaded it.

Yes Atr12 this is often due to purchasing an expiring serial number. I checked and it does appear you have been provided an expiring serial number. These are sometimes offered by resellers at a discounted rate. If you believe that you received an expiring serial number in error then I would recommend contacting the reseller which you purchased CS6 Design and Web Premium from.
It does still appear the serial number should be valid. I would recommend running the uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. I would then follow this by using the CC Cleaner Tool to ensure a complete removal. You can find details of the use of the CC Cleaner Tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
It is likely the licensing files are unable to be updated or are damaged thus the serial number is being seen as invalid.

I currently have a mac osx, and my CC keeps coming saying its expired, when it should be running the CS6 design standard. So how do I get my platform to use the CS6 as my default instead of the CC one.

And you can change the default program for a file type under File --> Info.
