From trial version to full version

I've been working with the trial version of the Aperture 3.1.2.
Now I want to buy the full version (the version I have is full but it will expire in 10 days).
I just want to be sure, if I buy if from the app store on my Mac, that I'll just get the key and don't have to download the whole program again. I've put in a lot of work to get my albums and stuff all sorted and I would REALLY hate to start over.
I just want to be sure before I do anything stupid.
And I do want to buy it from the app store on my Mac cause it's about $100 cheaper then buying the box.
Thanks so much
Sophie

And to be clear, no matter how you download and install Aperture, any Library (you can have more than one) you created will still be there afterwards. Installing the App Store version (which you're going to have to do) doesn't overwrite the Library you created with the Trial Version. At worst, when you start up the purchased version you might have to tell it where your Library is, if you don't have it in your Pictures folder.

How to switch from Trial version of CC apps to Full version purchased for me.

I recently joined a new company. First day on the job, I downloaded trial versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop only to find out that the company had purchased a subscription for Creative Cloud for me. How do I get off the trial versions and onto the full versions?

Hi avgjoe62,
You can simply use the email address used to purchase the subscription to license the software from trial version.
The subscription is linked to the Adobe ID (email address).

Color shift going from trial version to full version CS5

Hi guys, I have just gone from trial version of CS5 master collection to a full version of master collection CS5 on my PC.
My trial expired so I uninstalled it completely, then reinstalled fresh from the CS5 DVD. I also updated all of the programs straight after the install. (something which I don't think I did with the trial version).
My problem now is though I am experiencing quite a big color shift from what the trial version was showing me to what my full version is showing me. (Yes I have checked the color settings, they are all pretty much default North American General Purpose 2)
In the trial version the colors were correct, but now my file I am working on my "mouve blue have moved into almost a purple appearance."
Also if I go into acrobat and open the PDF version of the file I was previously working on the colors are also displaying incorrectly when opening the PDF that was created in the trial (which was displaying correct when using the trial). So I guess its not just PS related.
I have a laptop which is also running a trial version of master collection, and when I copy my file to this machine and open the colors are spot on how they should be (just like they were prior to me going full version) which tells me something has definatley changed in this installed full version of CS5 for me.
Not sure what I should do, unstall the software and reinstall it without doing the updates?
PS. Under color managment / advanced, windows color system defaults, my Device profile is: System Default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
Viewing conditions profile: System default (WCS profile for sRGB viewing conditions)
I havent changed anything there anyway in any install.
Any help would be great

Some key points to help understand why you might be seeing what you are:
When color-management is set up properly with a wide gamut monitor, sRGB images can seem dull and lifeless compared to wider gamut images such as those expressed in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.
Not all apps are color-managed, so with e.g. a wide gamut monitor you'll see a significant visual difference between the same image displayed via a color-managed app such as Photoshop and a non-color-managed app such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. Even though the color-managed applications may be displaying accurate color, many folks feel the inconsistency is "wrong" as compared to when more different apps display the same colors, which will happen with sRGB as the monitor profile (which is the Windows default).
People often consider more vibrant, saturated color "better".
Color management often does not actually work properly. Not all profiles are created equal, even properly formatted monitor profiles may not accurately express the monitor's capabilities, and not all color management in applications is done properly. You're not the first to report problems with a canned Dell monitor profile.

Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
Thank you

Hi cguay01,
As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
blog. You can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
There is also a similar thread for your reference.

Help Upgrading from Trial version to Full version of PSE 10. Buy Now Link in my Editor not working

Went to convert from my free trial and purchase full version. When I hit the "Buy Now" button within my Editor, nothing happens. How do I proceed to upgrade? Thank you for your time and help!

[email protected] I would recommend purchasing the software directly from our website. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html After you make the purchase you can then enter the serial number you received into the trial.

Moving from trial version to purchasing a full version

I installed a trial version of an app (Stuff) on my PlayBook. I decided I wanted to purchase it after the trial period was over. App World will only let me delete it and reinstall the trial version. Does anyone have a suggestion ?

If you want to purchase a full version, you will want to download the version from the App Store, that is a better bargain than the boxed version from the Apple Store.
To be able to install the download you need to deinstall the trial version from the applications folder, but keep your Aperture Library - that will save your imported images.
Either way when I start Aperture with the purchased version I need to 'consolidate masters' to move my photos from iPhoto, Once I have done that I can then delete my iPhoto library. I have created a few books with the trial version and dont want to loose those in the update.
That is a good plan. Your books are stored in the Aperture Library, that will be saved.

Upgrade from trial version to full

I wonder if someone can assist, although this is not a tech query. I am currently using Elements 7 and considering upgrading to Photoshop CS5. I can take the upgrade path and save nearly £100. Further, if I order the boxed version from Adobe instead of downloading it I can save a further £20 or so (no, I don't understand why either!). However, if I download and install the trial version of CS5 before deciding to buy I am concerned that these options may no longer be available if I do choose to buy. I would hate to find that, by installing the trial version first it might cost me about £120.00. Is there anyone who can comment on this with authority?
Many thanks
Paul

Why should Adobe care about you trying their software? No, this wil lhave no influence on the actual purchase. Two unrelated systems. they may even offer you another upgrade path with additional discounts when sending you those trial reminders...

Moving from trial version to purchased of Aperture 3

I installed the trial version and when doing so did a 'use photos in current location'. I did not import from iPhoto. I want to purchase now. Do I move the trial version to the trash and purchase or purchase and use the code on the trial version. If I move the trial version to the trash I assume I dont loose any photos. Either way when I start Aperture with the purchased version I need to 'consolidate masters' to move my photos from iPhoto, Once I have done that I can then delete my iPhoto library. I have created a few books with the trial version and dont want to loose those in the update.

HT3396 Difficult transition from trial version of Numbers to purchased app version - not recognised by existing spreadsheets!

Having used the trial version of Numbers and then purchasing the app, which has been installed, I can no longer save or print existing spreadsheets as I get a message to say the trial version has ended. I have tried to register the purchased version but it requires a Marketing Part Number as part of the process which does not appear to be provided either with the app or with any separate e mail confirmingthe purchase.
How can I get the purchased app version to be recognised by existing spreadsheets??

Hi Chris,
There are a number of paths from the trial to a functioning full version of iWork or the individual iWork applications.
You can purchase a registration number, open one of the applications from the trail, then enter the number to activate the iWork applications and remove the trial restrictions.
You can uninstall the trial, then reinstall iWork using the retail box version's installation disk.
You can uninstall the trial, then install the individual applications purchased and downloaded from the Mac app store.
The sticking point in the second and third path is "You can uninstall..."
Uninstalling the iWork trial requires removing the iWork folder (and its contents) AND a number of support files created by the iWork applications from your hard drive.
The most efficient way of doing that is to use an AppleScript written by Yvan Koenig, and available for download from Yvan's Box account. Click the link, then click for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip
Unpack the .zip file, open the unpacked file in the Script editor, and click Run.
Then reinstall iWork from the retail box disk, or download and reinstall the individual applications from the Mac app store.
Regards,
Barry

Wind.8bf file missing from trial version photoshop cs5?

I am trying to learn a specific text effect and the tutorial uses the "wind" filter in photoshop. I am currently using a trial version of PS cs5, and have been able to use all features so far... has the wind filter been ommitted from the trial version? Also, I downloaded an older version of the Wind.8bf file and located it within the correct /plugin/filters/ folder, but PS still does not recognize it.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
thanks,
Neil

Did you look in Filter - Stylize - Wind?
It only works on pixel-based layers. Is the tutorial based on an older version of Photoshop, or have they done something to the text to rasterize it into pixels?
If I recall correctly, the Wind filter is provided in Photoshop CS5 as part of a single plug-in file that provides a whole bunch of filters. I believe they did this to help speed up the startup, as Photoshop doesn't have to enumerate so many plug-ins this way.
Generally speaking, you should not put the separate 8bf file from another version of Photoshop into the folder tree for the current version, and in fact this can break things. Remember to remove the file you put in place.

Upgrading from trial version

I currently have a trial version of photoshop elements 11 and have been given a present of the full version on disc. Should I uninstall the trial version before uploading the disc or what is the best way to do it.

There is really no need to install the disc version photoshop elements 11.
(the two versions should be the same as far as i know)
Just enter your serial number into the trial version that you already have installed.

Can't print from trial version of InDesign 5.5

Hi
I've just installed the trial version of InDesign 5.5; it works fine except I can't print to my Konica Minolta laserprinter - the file goes to the printer but then vanishes from the printer queue without actually printing. The printer still works with other applications. What am I doing wrong? Any help gratefully received!

Upgrade from trial version

How does one upgrade their trial version of Lightroom 5 (i.e. pay for a license) without having to re-install so the existing catalogue of photographs etc isn't deleted?
Thanks

Unless I am missing something glaringly obvious, I cannot find any option to buy, register, upgrade to a full version of LR. I can see I have two days left of a trial but there is no 'Lightroom Registration' option under help to just simply progress to purchase.
I also find it confusing and frustrating that options are wrapped up in CC membership - I own CS6, don't want to pay monthly - I just want to buy it, be assured I have a full version and get on with working with LR as I have been.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've exhausted forums and Adobe website. As I say, might be missing something simple - so humble enough to have it pointed out to me.
Many thanks.

Hello! I purchased the official version last night but when I launch it from creative cloud, the AE crashed. I took the pictures. It shows crash occurs while invoking plug-in "AEDynamic link server".
