Full version of Apex vs. Runtime general question

Hello,
We have three environments, Dev, Test and Production. We have the full version of Apex installed under Dev and have developed an application. Our site is behind firewall and only internal users with Oracle user_id will have access into Apex application(s). Oracle recommends to install the runtime version of Apex on Test and Prod. But as I gathered reading some posts and replies in Apex Forum noticed it is quiet of task moving developed applications from Dev to runtime environment.
Would it make more sense for our environment to install the full version of Apex into our Test and Prod? If not is there any good documentation around that I can access of how to do this?
Thanks so very much for any info
Regards

Last time I checked, that page did link to full installers. The format of the links for Windows was:
https://download.mozilla''.''org/?product=firefox-'''36.0.4-SSL'''&os=win&lang=en-US
I have bolded the part that currently says '''stub'''. Hand-crafted links in that form still work (but I have broken the link in this post with my formatting).
I don't have personal knowledge of what's going on with the "all" download page and hope it changes back.
As for blaming this forum for anything having to do with the "all" download page, you must be kidding. That page was always available from the main page using a link that said Systems & Languages and as the link says, it lists all the available systems and languages.

Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?

Hi everyone!
First of all: Merry Christmas!
A longer text with some background information is following. My question will be at the bottom.
My computer is a good boy and it didn't disappoint me for quite a while now.
I had once installed the student version (german) of CS3 extended on this one.
Then, after having removed the student version some time later when needed, I have re-installed the full version.
This time, however, it was in english and it wasn't the extended version either.
After the software has accepted my serial id, I was quite content. It felt much better in english and I was able to use photoshop to the fullest once again.
Today, I have gotten my hands on the upgrade version to CS5 (again in english and not extended, but that's all I need).
After the installation guide has told me, that there are no programmes installed which are compatible to the upgrade, I was confused.
I have realised that my current CS3 version was still the extended one, even though it was in english and it wasn't the student version either (at least, that's what I believe, because there were no "activate"/"deactivate" buttons in the help menu where it used to be in the german student version before).
So while doing an upgrade to CS5, I had to chose CS3 extended from the list and had to type in the old student's version serial number.
Nothing else worked, even though I've tried to chose the CS3 version in combination with the other serial number, which belong to the full version both.
Now to my question:
Is there a way to find out, whether the student or the full version is currently installed?
(Other than looking at the box of course, that would be quite trivial. I am worried if the installation guide hasn't removed all components thoroughly.)
Thanks in advance,
Happy holidays,
Jeff

Thanks for the reply!
That's what I thought as well. However, that wasn't the case. Whether it's the educational or the full version, both splash screens looked the same.
At least for the CS3 version.I know how I was quite confused about that in the past when I'd realised that.
The CS5 splash screen didn't say anything about a student version, but I was able to deactivate the application. I thought this was possible for the student version only.
I've tried using the adobe clean program like suggested, but that didn't work either. The installation guide of CS5 still didn't bother asking for an older version.
I.e.: It still used the educational serial number from before.
After reinstalling windows on my pc, the installation guide finally wanted to know about my CS3 again.
However, it told me, that the serial number of the full version in combination with CS3 is not valid. Just like it did before.
Maybe it's because the full version was made in the USA and the CS5 upgrade version was made in Austria - Ireland?
That would be really frustrating.

Can i remove the words "created in trial version" from a file now i have purchased full version?

Can I remove the wording " created in trial version" from a video now i have purchased the full version?

Presumably a Premiere Elements question. For future reference note that Premiere Elements has its own forum and you should post further PRE questions there. But the answer to your question is in the PRE FAQ entry - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=30.

2 issues - Invalid Serial Number issue & Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question

Hello
not sure if I should split these two questions...
1 - Invalid Serial Number issue
I'm helping out a friend with their large photo collection and they bought Lightroom 5 and received the serial number but when we add this to Lightroom it states that it's invalid - I tried leaving it until the following week (I visit them weekly) and it still refusing the number - when I went into their Adobe account and took a look at downloads the option to download the full version is greyed out (or an x - I'm not sat on their computer right now so can't double check) but it wouldn't allow me to do anything so we just had the trial version.
anyone know what the issue is - shall I get them to contact Adobe to get them to take a look - I also had issues trying to find a customer support email address lol. (I seem to faffing with lots of websites/software/companies this week so getting a little frazzled!)
2 - Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question
This question is linked to the above i- I am wondering if the folders in Lightroom are different in the trial version vs the fully paid version.
I had set up some greeting card templates and contact sheet layouts for my friend and tried to transfer them to her computer but whilst, LR 'sees' the folders it just doesn't acknowledge the templates - I tried it several ways but I've not had that issue before so will that sort itself when I get the serial number fixed?
Thank you for any help or suggestions - hope you all have a good weekend :-)
Lenny

Hi Lenny, the two questions may be related but the trial is actually the same as the full version. I would suggest getting the serial number issue sorted out first. There have been known issues where a paid for product still shows up as a trial.There is not a lot the community can do. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
2. Serial number issues or activating my product
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

Question about converting trial to full version.

Hi there,
I have 2 questions:
1.
Currently I am using Framemaker 7.2 trial version. I have the licence code for Framemaker 7.2. I found out from the Adobe website (http://www.adobe.com/support/service/trial.html) that I need to Activate the trial product for it to be converted to a full version but I do not see any Activation button when I opened the trial version. How do I convert from trial to full?
2.
After Step 1 above is done, how do I upgrade version 7.2 to version 8?
Thank you.

You cannot purchase FrameMaker 7.2 anymore, you can buy FrameMaker 8 from Adobe Store.

Two Questions, uninsall trail version, and then install full version that we downloaded

Hi all, I need to uninstall "trail" verision on one computer, there is only a few apps that we tried out, but I know it good idea to uninstall them first. I then need to download and install a verision that wil bought that is full version, but was downloaded. When I log in on other mac, i cannot find my paid version to download. Also the paid verision is already intstalled on other computer. I can't seem to find the .dmg file on "paid install, Is there a way to copy to flash drive to intalll? I have pretty slow internet. I'm a newbie to adobe, so any help would be appreciated. I followed instruction I found for uninstalling, said to go to apps folded click on program and following instructions, I seem I'm missing something, because it just opens application. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Gerald Hetirck

There is no requirement to uninstall trial versions - they all can be activated by inputting the serial numbers or signing into CCApp. The rest isn't really clear since you didn't say anything about what product(s) you actually bought.

General Question about JRE - Versions and backward compatibility etc

Could someone maybe help me with this query?
I've got a group of network users who use a total of four java applications which I am told require different versions of the Java Runtime Environment to run.
Is it therefore possible to have muliple versions of the RTE installed on one user machine to make all applications work at once or is it simply a case of having to have only one version of the JRE.
I'm talking mainly about in house applications so I guess if some of them are incompatible with the latest JRE then the answer might be to find out what the problem is and fix the application so it works in the lates jre - or am I missing something?

Hello,
First of all, it is possible to keep several JRE installed in Windows. For example, my PC has JRE 1.3.1.8, 1.4.0.1, 1.4.2.6.
Second. A tecnology exists to cause a Windowst to run a specific JRE for a specific Java applet. Please see the text below.
HTML Applet Configuration
� The standard (Internet) method of calling Java Runtime when using a Java Applet is to use an Applet tag within the HTML file itself specifying the applet details (example below). This tries to attach itself to Microsoft Java Runtime registry CLSID as detailed above.
<applet code=Applet1.class width="200" height="200">
Your browser does not support the <code>applet</code> tag.
</applet>
� When the above call is made either, a) the applet will load in the Microsoft Java Runtime, b) the applet will load in a particular Sun Java Runtime as it�s being redirected or c) the applet won�t load at all as Microsoft Java Runtime isn�t installed and Sun Java isn�t set as default.
� The above can be uncontrolled as to what version of Java (if any) is actually used to launch an applet so have an alternative solution is to us the Object tag in place of the Applet tag. It�s only suitable for Internet Explorer in an internal, Intranet environment but should be ideal for us.
� By replacing the Applet HTML tag with the Object tag when loading an applet you can specify in the tag either to use the latest installed version of Sun Java or a specific version by putting it�s CLSID in the list. (example below.)
<OBJECT
classid="clsid:CAFEEFAC-0014-0002-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBB"
width="200" height="200">
<PARAM name="code" value="Applet1.class">
</OBJECT>
� The advantage in the above approach is we can install a specific version of Java, i.e. 1.4.2.06 that doesn�t redirect the Microsoft Java Runtime so won�t effect other applications, and we can be safe in the knowledge that even if we install a newer version of Java on a machine that has 1.4.2.06 we won�t have any backwards compatibility problems.
� The Object tag is an Internet Explorer only solution, but could be scaled, as to load a different version of Java you specify a different CLSID, whether that�s one of the versions of Sun Java or Microsoft Java or you can specify a CLSID that covers the latest installed version of Sun Java if you don�t want to tie the application to a specific version.
Further details on the use of the Applet and Object tags can be found on the Sun website below so they may be of use if the HTML code that calls the Java applet can be easily changed to support our requirements.

Muse Demo vs Full Version Question

Demo version working well, but seems to be missing a lot of basic tools. Does the full version come with more site building options I assume?
Are there any websites out there you can direct me to that was built by Muse?
I would like to buy Muse's full version but just checking first... thank you!

Thank you for responding Mac!
Bullets, borders, more widgets, background pic's, templates, etc. (The demo comes with one sample template... "Katies Cookies" or something.)
Those sites look beautiful... and all created on Muse? I CAN create sites with those cool graphics using the demo version??
If so I'll look at more tutorials.

Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?

I had to restore from backup to a new hard drive, and only have part of my Adobe Photoshop installation. Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version? I have only part of the documentation so this is the best way I see to get the full version back.

Hello brad,
you did purchase your product from these firms like Amazon, so you didn't get a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
Additionally you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts. Here you will find general infos about your Adobe Account.
On the other hand, if necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Downloaded FULL version but still asked for previous serial number as if it were an upgrade.

So I received the serial number for the standalone version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher edition that I purchased from the Adobe online store. After it downloaded I received a serial number. When I installed the software and attempted to activate it using the provided serial number the pop-up box stated that the number I provided was for an upgrade version and that I needed to provide the serial number from the previous install; something that I do not have because I have never owned Lightroom before.
Before you start, I was very careful in selecting the FULL version, please see the attached image of the shopping cart which clearly indicates that I have purchased the full version. Further the email with the serial number gave no indication that I have purchased the upgrade version.
So my question is, how do I get a non-upgrade serial number that will work with the software that I have installed??

Here are the steps that I followed to purchase a full version of the software but for which I received an upgrade only serial #.
1) Logged into my Adobe ID account and sought out "Products: For Education Customers" by clicking the link products link at the bottom of my account summary page. This resulted in my being directed to the following URL:
Products
Here is a screen capture of the page which clearly states the page is for education customers.
2) Press the BUY link beside the Lightroom for Students and Teachers Edition. Please note - THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT THIS IS AN UPGRADE VERSION. Clicking the link results in the following URL:
Products
The only thing that changed is that the buy icon changed to an "Add to Cart" icon.
Here's the screen shot. Notice that it still says Products: For Education Customers at the top and there is no mention of this being an upgrade version.
3) Press the "Add to Cart" icon. Which loads a new page. Here's the URL:
https://www.adobe.com/ca/cart.edu.html
And here's the screen shot:
Please notice the price. It will become relevant when you read the chat that I had with "customer service" last night. Also, once again, absolutely no indication that this is an upgrade version. In fact, if someone at Adobe would actually look at this screen shot they would see that just below the text indicating the product's name is a line that states: "I want to buy: Full"
4) Proceed to Checkout. After providing my Adobe ID and password again I was directed to this URL:
https://store1.adobe.com/ca/cart/checkout.edu.html#null
Here's the screen shot, please notice that the content of the cart states "Full, Mac/Win, English, Download" Once again, absolutely no indication that this is an upgrade version.
5) I provided my credit card information and then received the following email from Adobe. A close reading of the message will not reveal anything about this purchase being an upgrade.

A second email with somewhat different formatting but with the same details was received immediately following the one quoted above.
6) Followed the instructions provided in this message and then installed Lightroom and entered the serial number provided above once the software launched. The pop-up box then informed me that I had been provided with an upgrade serial number and that the serial number from my previous purchase of Lightroom was needed. This was the first indication that I had not been provided with the product that I thought I had purchased.
7) That's when the nightmare that Adobe calls customer service began. Here's the transcript of the 30 minute entirely useless chat I had yesterday.

My Adobe CS6 full version is no longer appearing as a full version and my serial key doesn't seem to work...

I don't know where this would go but my question is I've had my FULL copy of Adobe CS 6 for about a year now, and over the last month Adobe has been asking me for my serial number, because it's trying to say it's not a full version when it is. When I enter the number in, it says it is invalid. Can someone help me and provide answers to my questions?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

Will the NB305-N410 netbook support a full version of Window 7 (64-bit)?

I bought a Toshiba NB305-N410BL netbook a couple of days ago and I am wanting to upgrade the OS to a full version of Windows 7. I am looking at going to Windows 7 Professional (maybe Windows 7 Home) instead of the Windows 7 Starter that it came with but I am wondering if this netbook will support a 64-bit version of Windows 7. I have searched for the specs of this netbook to see what it would support but have had no luck although I am starting to think that it will only support a 32-bit OS. I am not looking to upgrade from the Starter version but doing a clean install of the full version of Windows 7 Professional. Any help or advice on the subject would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
EDIT: I am also having a problem creating a system image. I want to have an image for backup just in case something goes wrong down the line. I first tried to use my external hard drive to create the image but it gave me the error message that "this device cannot be used to store a system image because it is not formatted with NTFS". So I decided that instead of reformatting my whole external hard drive, I would just try a usb flash drive. So I went and bought a 16GB usb drive and spent the last hour reformatting it to NTFS and I am still getting this error message: "The Drive is not a valid backup location." Does anyone know how I can use this usb drive to hold a backup image of my netbook's current state?
ANOTHER EDIT: Nevermind on the question about creating a system image on the usb drive. I just found out that you can't. :/

I successfully installed a 32-bit version of Windows 7 Home on my netbook but now I have a couple more issues that maybe you can help me with.
- My scroll pad is no longer working. It was working just find right before I installed the full version of windows 7 but now it won't work. I really rely on the scroll pad for fast and efficient scrolling so I would really like to fix the problem.
- 2nd problem: Is there any way I can change the resolution from 800x600? When I go to the control panel to adjust the resolution it won't give me any other options. Is the 800x600 resolution the only resolution my graphics card will support?
Thanks for any help in advance.

TS1702 I did an in app purchase to get the full version of the app and I still have the lite version. how do I get the full app?

I downloaded the light version of My First Book of French Alphabets by
Ilmasoft. I did an In-App Purchase of $1.99 to get the full version. Upon returning to the app to use it (it did work after the initial purchase), I still have the light version. I tried reinstalling the app but still have the light version. I have also tried emailing the developer, but no response has been received.
What else can I do? I really like the app. I would even repurchase it to get the full version, but it shows as a purchased item.
Any help for this problem would be appreciated!

Hi,
Generally, you can switch between the light and full version of OWA, if your web browser support the full set of features. You can do this by checking or clearing the "Use the blind and low vision experience" check box. However, if you use a web browser
that doesn't support the full set of features, Outlook Web App (OWA) will open in light version.
Here is a related article for your reference.

Lightroom: upgrade from trial to full version, how to enter license key?

I installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud (CC) trial on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. The version is LR 5.6. I do not want CC, so I purchased the full version of LR on DVD. I was going to reinstall LR from the DVD, but see that it is only version 5.2. I have already done a fair amount of work with the trial LR 5.6 and am worried about losing the catalog that I have created.
So I thought I could apply the full version license key to the trial install, but there is no place to do that within LR. When I bring up the CC master application it shows that I have 5 days left with LR, but still has no way to apply a license key.
I had a very long and frustrating chat session with tech support. In the end I was advised to uninstall the trial, then install the full version. I might be able to download LR 5.6 full and simply install that.
So let me summarize my questions:
Is there any way to apply the license key for standalone full version of LR to the trial version that was installed using CC?
If I uninstall trial version, will I be able to install LR 5.6 download and apply license key?
If I cannot install from download and instead have to install from purchased DVD, will version 5.2 be able to import the existing catalog? Will subsequent upgrade(s) to 5.6 go smoothly?
What about the catalog? Will the existing catalog simply be found during a new installation? Or do I have to manually import?
I've found the community help in the LR forum to be very good - and that is why I am abandoning ACDSee after many years Thank you all for your help.

You should just uninstall what you have installed for LR 5.x, now, then download and install the LR 5.6 update from the Adobe Updates page, and enter your standalone serial number, and things should pick up where you left off.
You might want to go into LR’s preferences (if LR is still opening for you) and see where the catalog (.lrcat) file actually resides on your computer in case you have a problem and have to double-click on that .lrcat file to open your catalog, but my experience is that nothing will seem different after you’ve installed the new version other than the version number will be newer. The preferences, catalog, and pictures are somewhere different than where the program is installed so uninstalling and reinstalling shouldn’t affect any of it.
LR 5.6 update is here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
FYI, the CC-LR is licensed by logging into CC, the standalone version is licensed by entering a serial number. That is why you have to uninstall the CC_licensed version and install the non-CC-licensed version.
It also probably wouldn’t mess anything up to install LR 5.2 from the DVD, but then you’d have to turn around and immediately download the LR 5.6 update, anyway, and it would waste time, so why not start with the latest update. The update is a fully function program, not a patch to an existing program. It’ll either find your existing licensing information if you’ve already entered the serial number or ask for a serial number if it doesn’t find anything—which sounds like your situation.
