Full Version of Premiere Acting as Trial??

A while back I downloaded and installed the Premiere Pro CS4 trial from Adobe.com to test it out and compare it to other software. It's been on my PC ever since. Now, I uninstalled the trial last night using Add/Remove Programs (which then went to the Adobe uninstaller) and installed the full version of Premiere that I had purchased. However, when I open the full version I am never prompted to enter a serial and when it opens it's acting as a trial version.
I am installing it straight from the disc. My thought is that somewhere in my registry or other files the "trial serial" is existing and making my full version think it's a trial? I have no idea.
I've done a manual search of my C:\ drive and deleted EVERY file with 'premiere' in its name. No dice. Again, it's the FULL version of Premiere Pro CS4 and the error I'm having is after I'd uninstalled the CS4 trial.
Thanks!

Thanks Harm Millaard. To resolve the issue all I did was go to Help at the top and then 'Updates'. Premiere downloaded updates and restarted, and when it opened up everything was good to go (with HD support).
Thanks much for the help!

    Reading what I assume to be about 14 pages of dense A4 Text through a small windowed box is unnaceptable. How can I agree to something unless I have read it?

    Hi Pete
    The trial is exactly the same as the boxed product.
    In fact if you purchase the boxed product from your favorite retailer you can simply enter the serial number from the DVD case into the trial to make it permanent - no further installation required.

  • Reinstate full version of 9 after expired trial of XI?

    I downloaded the trial v. XI of acrobat to test its possibilites. A no stage was I warned that the trial would totally remove my abilty to revert to my legal use of Adobe acrobat version 9 which came with my computer. What can I do?  There is no way  can affrd the 400  dollars for the full version of XI. All I want is my version 9 back!
    Thanks for any help on this!

    Annyfran25 you can download a copy of the Acrobat 9 installation files by following the steps listed at http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html.  Please make sure to complete the Very Important Instructions section prior to scrolling down the page and clicking on the download link.
    I would also recommend you make a back up in case you wish to have access to Acrobat 9 Professional again in the future.
    Finally please be aware that on Windows you can only have one version of the full version installed at the time.  Any time you install a newer version you will be prompted to remove any previous versions of the software.

  • Bought full version, but insist it is trial. no serial number + error message + customer support

    Hi
    1. I just bought a full version 12 year subscription, after first downloading a trial version. It now insists on remaining a trial version, and ask me to submit a serial number. I can not find it.
    2. I have made a combined pdf, and edited text into it. This worked until page 70. Now I keep getting an error message, and it won't allow me to edit more text. I use a Mac OS X 10.9.2
    3. Is this actually the customer support that adobe offers?
    Thanks

  • Trial to Full Version: Still have black bar across project...why?

    I just downloaded the full version of Premiere Elements 9 for my Mac.  The project I had created with the trial version I was led to believe would cease to have the black bar across the video once I downloaded and installed the full version.  The black bar still exists.  Is there something else I need to do to get it to go away?
    Thanks,
    -John

    Hi
    Seleting "Timeline > Delete Rendered Files" hasn't worked for me - the black line is still there.   Now I've done it, the "delete rendered files" option has greyed out so obviously Elements think it's done what it can.
    Im using Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7.   Could there be anything else I need to do?
    Other info:
    I'm using A Dell Pavilion hP Laptop with i7 Q720 1.60 GHz and 4GB RAM
    My project uses MPG4 fles covnerted to AVI format but still with MPG4 codecs in (haven't figured how to sort that one out yet despite great help here...)
    My Project is set up as DV - NTSC.
    Workflow - haven't used any transitions or anything. One single mp3 on one track (although slip up 8 or 9 times to stop slippage), with hundreds of 2-3 second video clips (as above) on 3 video tracks.
    Anything else I can tell you?
    Really hope you can help as I've just spent about 8 hours on this project!
    [EDIT - could it have anything to do with the fact that I have been rendering clips as I went along (I had to as I was having trouble with file formats). If so, there is there any way of "re-doing" a project, or do I have to start again from sratch?   I guess the auto-saves won't help me as I've been rendering every 30 secs or so.]
    [EDIT 2 - problem solved (after a very worried hour!).   I removed all files from the organiser and then brought them all back in, and that did the trick]
    Cheers

  • 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.

  • LR5 trial to full version with serial doesn't open

    Hi i have just bought a full version of LR5 after the trial expired I put the serial number into it and I get the green click and then move to the next window and fill out my details and then it won't open... anyone had the same issue thanks

    yeah I think that I was on hold for a long time so I feel your pain.
    did you let your trial verson run out, just out of interest?
    From what I remember it was to do with the library setting and key registers within the OS their is a bit to it but I know from past that adobe can fix it.
    Good luck I'll keep looking into it for you and see if their is anything else on the net

  • Not a trial version its the full version

    Hi
    Hope someone can help me , I down loaded the trial version of Elements 12 then within the 30 days time I bought the full version then I deleted my trial and installed the full version I registered the software on line but when I run Elements 12 full version I get a pop up telling me that my software will expire in 30 days can some one tell me what is going on here
    Many Thanks
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Do you get the option to “licence this product” or “I have a serial; number”
    If so enter your 24 digit code commencing 1057 then activate using your Adobe ID (email & password)
    You should only need to do this once.

  • FAQ: What are the limitations of the free, 30-day trial version of Premiere Pro?

    The free, 30-day trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and earlier lacked many of the most useful and popular codecs,  including codecs for MPEG-2, AVCHD, and RED media. This meant that  people had a hard time evaluating the software for real-world use.
    Not any longer.
    The trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, and later includes all of the  codecs that are included with the full version of Adobe Premiere Pro  CS5.5. This means that you can import and export to all of the supported  file formats using the trial version.
    See this page for more details about the trial version.
    For lists of formats that you can import into and export from Adobe Premiere Pro, see these pages:
    formats that you can import into Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5
    formats that you can export from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 through Adobe Media Encoder
    formats that you can export directly from Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5

    There are no limitations for 30 days, it will work exactly as if you have a subscription. But if you don't get a subscription, after 30 days, you will no longer be able to launch the program.

  • Updating from trial to Full version, can't get rid of Trial Overlay on the Video.

    Hey guys,
    I just bought the Premier Elements 11 full version and installed it. I had made a video on the trial, and was hoping that when I opened that in the full version, the overlay that says "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements" that hangs out there for the whole video would disappear. Is that not the case?? Is there anything I can do to the file what will get rid of that...or do I simply have to re-make my video??
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Thanks for the follow up information on what you observed trying to get rid of the Premiere Elements 10 tryout watermark in the project.prel from that 10 version in the purchased Premiere Elements 11. You say that the watermark was not removed automatically by the purchased Premiere Elements 11. I had never heard "automatic" to be the case until I tried this myself with Premiere Elements 11, not 10, tryout and then the purchased Premiere Elements 11. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the Premiere Elements 10 tryout to make a comparative test between
    Premiere Elements 10 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    vs
    Premiere Elements 11 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    But I have seen my observation verified independantly by at least one other.
    But there are a lots of things here that SG and Adobe need to help us clarify.
    a. Can you really remove the watermark from the Timeline once exported as a file (.mov, .avi, etc) from the tryout or is he and Adobe referring to removing the watermark on files still within the project.prel file.
    b. Classically SG has said to go Timeline Menu/Deleted All Rendered Files as the route in the project.prel of a purchased version to get rid of the watermarked video still within the project.prel from the tryout. The Rendered files are .avi files for SD project and .mpeg for HD project. It is my understanding that there is a fundamental difference between "Rendered Files" and "Conformed Video" files, the latter typically having the file extension of .mcdb. So, when SG says
    "You delete the Media Cache by going to the Preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and, on the Media page, clicking the Clean button.
    That should get rid of all of your render files -- and the watermarked video along with them."
    I would ask him to revisit that statement. If you are doing anything with that directive, you are deleting conformed video files that are found in Local Disk C\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Database Folder. That information is clearly available in the Media Cache Database dialog in that Common Folder. The "Rendered Files" are still alive and well with their companion .xmp files in the Adobe Folder (default Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements). This is true for Premiere Elements 11 and 10 Windows 7 64 bit.
    I do not see where the question that started this thread has really been answered. And the latest SG comment forces to ask for a clarification on that.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • How do i remove the watermark created in Premiere Elements 12 now that I have full version?

    I have upgraded to Premiere Elements 12 full version, but still have a watermark across the video I created in Trial version. I went into the "Timeline" menu ad delted rendered Files, as was recommended to me, but the watermark is still there. How do I remove this??

    j.thomas.h
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Background information for now. Is it fully activated so that you are not getting Buy or Continue Tryout every time you open the program?
    What are you trying to remove the Adobe watermark from - a project file (project.prel) from the tryout or an export from the tryout?
    You cannot remove the Adobe watermark from an export from the tryout, be the export an export to a file saved to the computer hard drive or a burn to disc.
    You should be able to remove the Adobe watermark from a project file (project.prel) created in the tryout by opening that project.prel in the purchased product and then the Timeline Menu/Delete Rendered Files. Some of us have found that just opening the tryout project file in the purchased product automatically removes the Adobe watermark.
    Please give us more details on your situation.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Elements 10 trial version vs buying Elements 11

    Hi!
    I downloaded Premiere Elements 10 trial version last week but now 11 is out!
    I (unfortunalty for me) didn't realize watermarks would "stay" until I bought full version but I figured I might as well buy the 11 version since it's out. So how can I do this since when I open program it asks me if I want to purchase version 10? and most importantly, will I loose all the work I've done so far???
    Thanks!
    Vivivd45

    You are welcome to uninstall the Premiere Elements 10 trial and install the Premiere Elements 11 trial.  You can locate the trial at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us.

  • Problems accessing full version of Adobe Premiere CC 2014

    Yesterday I purchased the complete student addition of creative cloud special offer at $15.99. After completing my purchase I signed into creative cloud with my Adobe ID and installed Adobe Premiere CC 2014 from the apps menu. After installing it, it asked me to start the trial, which doesn't make sense because I bought the program as part of the creative cloud complete package. I should get the full version, so what is the issue?

    Something about your registration/activation did not work

    Many thanks...

    I have just heard from the NewBlue customer support team, they write:
    "We are working on the update for CS5. We plan to have it ready soon. You are correct that the current version for Premiere is 32-bit but the 64-bit version for CS5 is definitely in the works"
