Going from trial to purchase - license/serial numbers?

Hi, I've been on the one month trial for Lightroom and Photoshop and just logged on to purchase Photoshop when I saw there was a deal for buying the two together - an excellent deal I must say.
My payment has gone through, but I assume I don't need to download anything further as I already have both programs on my computer from the trial. How to I activate them using a serial or licence number?
Many thanks.

Photoshop works automatically but Lightroom requires a serial number. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall, so any help would be much appreciated. This is urgent as I have a shoot to complete.

  • Video overlay issue after I moved from trial to purchased premiere elements

    I was using the trial version of premiere elements and was happy with the product. So I decided to buy it. When I did this and put in the serial number I noticed all my video / title overlays are now black. places in my video where I dont have overlay there isnt a problem.
    Why did this happen when I switched from trial to purchased product? How do I fix it?

    Though I have never read of such problems, let's look at a few possibilities.
    You mention "Opacity," and that got me to thinking. Select one of the Clips, that displays as black - click on it. Go to Effects>Edit Effects, to get the Effects Control Panel. Check the Opacity setting (one of the Fixed Effects on every Video Clip). What is that set to?
    Test 02 - Dbl-click on one of those offending Clips, to open it in the Source Monitor. Does it play properly there? As that is accessing the physical file on the HDD, and not the editable version on the Timeline, that might tell us something about the file.
    Also, what are the specs. of the files, that are not displaying? The reason that I ask is that there are/were a few limitations of the trial (think that the message might still be a sticky at the top of the main forum - not the discussions page - and that it alternates to one about Macs. Wait for it to display, and click on "See Details," to see if maybe there is something there. There are modules in PrE, that require "activation," when one goes to the full-paid version. This activation is usually done transparently, and the user is seldom aware that it has taken place. For it to take place, that computer WILL need to be connected to the Internet.
    In your Timeline, do you have red lines over your problem Clips? If so, hit Enter/Return to Render the Timeline for best quality playback. Does that help?
    Last, I would check my video driver, and update to the latest one available. My thinking here is that though a video display issue should be rather global for the display/playback in PrE, perhaps it's having problems, where you have two Video Tracks (that does require a bit more power, than just a single Video Track), and perhaps an OS update has rendered that video driver obsolete. That does usually affect the full display of the GUI and also all playback, but again, what you describe is not normal, so if we eliminate all possibilities, we might be able to zero in on the issue.
    As you can see, I am just thinking aloud here, as I do not recall this issue ever being posted before. Also, just because something should happen (like PrE easily going from trial to full-paid, with just the S/N), does not mean that it will always happen, as it should.
    Good luck, and wish that I had more for you.

  • 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.

  • Anyone know how to open a project after going from Trial to full purchase?

    i purchased the full version of Premier Elements 8 and the project I had been working on for weeks just won't open.  It seems like it's there, but nothing happens when I click on the file.  Any ideas?

    Unless the Project file (.PREL) has become corrupted, there should be no reason for a Project, created in the trial, to not Open in the full-paid version. The ONLY difference between the two programs is that trial will embed a watermark on the Exported footage.
    This FAQ Entry will instruct you on changing the Project, to remove that watermark.
    Good luck,

  • What is the best way to switch from Trial to Purchased

    I have the downloaded trial version of InDesign CS3 and will purchase it.
    What is the best way to accomplish this once the credit card has been debited?
    * Delete the trial version and download the purchased file from Adobe? (I would save off any pages created in the trial version of course).
    * Just enter the serial number provided by Adobe into the trial version I have been using and dont bother downloading the link provided by Adobe?
    * Delete the downloaded trial version and have Adobe send me the box version (taking longer obviously)? Once again, I would save the pages already created?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Just enter the serial number.
    Note: if you only downloaded InDesign but bought the full suite, you'll
    need to uninstall the trial and install the suite.

  • English trial, to purchase license later in MX?

    I live in Mexico and in my Mac I have English set as my preferred language for my OS, iLife, iWork, everything.
    I'd like to upgrade to iWork '09, in English. In the MX Apple Store I can only buy the Spanish version. I'm not sure if I could change the language to English if I purchase this version.
    Would it be OK to download the English trial and then purchase the license to mantain it in English, as a workaround?
    Thanks.

  • From Trial to Purchase | CC 2014 Apps Crashing after startup

    All Creative Cloud (2014) apps crashing immediately after opening
    I was running Premiere Pro CC as a trial, when the trial ended, I opted to get the whole Adobe CC 2014 catalog for a cool $50/month.
    I installed the apps I needed, updated my Nvidia graphics drivers but when opening anything (Premiere, Photoshop, Audition, After Effects CC 2014) the apps would just crash. No error message, just open, I can see the program, and then it closes.
    Solutions I've tried:
    Uninstalling / Reinstalling: I've removed all Adobe products and used the official CC Cleaner Tool and reinstalled using the Cloud App. Same problems; crash upon opening.
    Signing in and out of the Cloud App after reading somewhere it might be an account bug. Crash upon opening.
    Signing in with a different account thinking my account used to purchase is bunk. Crash upon opening.
    The usual restart, update graphics drivers, virus check and light, frustrated punches to my monitor. I've tried everything short of reinstalling the OS (which I'd rather not do).
    Running any app as admin / current OS compatibility mode. Crash upon opening.
    Things worth noting:
    Another computer can log in and use the account's apps fine, seems to be specifically my work computer which has the problem.
    I had separate versions of all apps before like Premiere CC (no 2014) and After Effects CC (no 2014).
    Computer Specs:
    Windows 8.1 Pro
    GeForce GTX 650 Ti (driver version 340.52, current as of 8.02.14)
    AMD Phenom II X6 1075T
    16GB RAM
    If anyone has an solutions, I'm all ears. Like I said, I don't particularily want to reinstall my OS so I'm hoping for a fix that might help me stay on my feet.
    Thanks,
    Ed

  • Transition from Trial to Purchased Java + DB PaaS cloud - overage?

    Oracle,
    A minimum configuration for Java EE hosting on Oracle Cloud Java + Database comes out to around 12 * (250 + 175) * 1.13 = $5763 per year - which is a price that requires some diligence for small businesses but worth it in order to use a full featured EE server like WebLogic 12 that includes EclipseLink in my opinion.
    What is the policy on overage fees over the 30GB(DB) and 50GB(Java) monthly traffic limits.
    - When the limit is reached at say the 3rd week - how is overage traffic handled - can we throttle the 50Gb java load over the month in that case to handle peak loads
    - Is there any extra fees if we exceed the 30+50 GB limits within the month - I don't want to forced to upgrade to the 250GB limit @ $9153 per year.
    The pricing page
    https://cloud.oracle.com/mycloud/f?p=service:java_pricing:289454252444001
    states
    "This is the maximum allowed bytes of data in and out of your service within a billing month. Database import and export are provided for free and do not deduct from this allocation."
    but does not discuss on what is done with requests for data above the 50GB limit.
    - Is there any plan to incorporate a subset of free usage like GAE/Appspot and AWS/beanstalk do?
    Outages:
    - there was a 9 hour scheduled outage the night of the 31st - can we expect this regularly and are apps seamless handed over to an alternate production server during the duration - In that case how are in-transaction session handled. As I understand it we do not have access to a 2nd level Coherence cache - which could handle this.
    Trial to Paid
    Can I get a url prefix in the name of my company when I decide to move to a paid cloud from the "trialAAAA" one we get assigned now.
    Full Java EE 6 (or at least mirrored WLS 12.1.1.0 support)
    What is the timeline for implemented the feature difference between local standalone 12c instances and the cloud ones.
    Specifically EJB 3.1(new deployment time timer beans, WebProfile), full ADF, Coherence, EclipseLink 2.5 (with Multitenancy and JPA-RS), JPA 2.0 container managed persistence units without static weaving.
    thank you

    Hi.
    Thanks for your question. Right now I do not belive it is possible to connect the BI Publisher/OBIEE environment embedded within Fusion Applications to any alternative datasources as you described.
    I appreciate this is all in the Oracle Cloud, so it's an interesting use-case and I will endeavor to investigate any options we might support in the future. In addition, I recommend you propose the same question to the Cloud Central/Operations folks as they are responsible for the configurations and they might be able to offer more details on what they support now and going forwards.
    The SaaS cloud does support both linking to other urls and embedding external pages (your reports) as iFrames, so that might be an alternative? Also I don't know if you've looked at the coming Oracle BI Cloud, which provides a database and OBIEE server environment together, again from which you might be able to embedd the result in your SaaS environment.
    Hope this helps, and we're planning a BI Publisher series on our blog soon so will be sure to cover some of the things mentioned here. Keep a look out for more.
    Thanks

  • How do I change Adobe XI pro from trial to purchased

    I bought a new laptop.  I purchased an upgrade version of Adobe XI pro.  When I installed Adobe, I accidentally selected trial version instead of purchased and did not enter my serial number.  How do I enter my serial number so that the Adobe shows up as a purchased version?  Thank you.

    You just have to enter the serial number in dialog that you get while launching the PSE11. I am attaching a snapshot of the dialog. Just click "Enter Serial Number" you would be propted by a dialog to enter your serial key
    Happy Editing

  • Transfer from trial to purchased version final cut pro

    aloha!
    i got the final cut pro trial version... and started some projects in there.
    now i purchased final cut pro.
    how do i get my projects and clips to final cut pro purchased version?
    help!
    kristin

    Hi Kristinkshui,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  I’m happy to hear that you liked the Final Cut Pro X software enough to purchase the full version.   You will be amazed at all of the things you can do with this creative software!
    The full Final Cut Pro X application will recognize the Libraries (and the projects and clips contained in them) that you created with the Trial Version.  By default, these libraries are in the Movies folder in your User Account on your Mac, unless you chose an external hard drive to store this data.  So, all you should have to do is launch the new Final Cut Pro X application and you should be able to pick up exactly where you left off.   Once everything is working with your purchased software, quit Final Cut Pro X, and delete the FCPX Trial by dragging it from the Applications folder to the Trash.
    The video below will provide a quick overview of what Final Cut Pro X can do:
    Final Cut Pro X: Overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/VI287?viewlocale=en_US
    I'm also including the Online Help Manual for Final Cut Pro X for your reference below:

    These additional learning resources may come in handy as well:

  • When going from Trial version to full must you uninstall and reinstall?

    Windows user here with two questions:
    I currently use Lightroom 1.4 at work and would like to look into upgrading to 2.0. If I load the trial 2.0 version will it overwrite 1.4?
    Once I load 2.0 and decide it's worth the upgrade (multi monitor alone makes me think it is) do I simply enter in a purchased serial number or do you have to uninstall the trial and then purchase/install the full?
    Thanks
    Bryan

    >I currently use Lightroom 1.4 at work and would like to look into upgrading to 2.0. If I load the trial 2.0 version will it overwrite 1.4?
    No...although some people suggest removing 1.4.1 after installing 2.0. YMMV
    >Once I load 2.0 and decide it's worth the upgrade (multi monitor alone makes me think it is) do I simply enter in a purchased serial number or do you have to uninstall the trial and then purchase/install the full?
    Yes, just enter the serial number provided upon purchase the next time you launch (instead of clicking on demo).

  • Updating from Trial to Purchased

    Should I uninstall my Trial Version of Elements 11 before installing my purchased one? I'm thinking probably don't need to but thought I would ask.

    Hi timbuktudad,
    There's no need to uninstall the trial version. You can enter the purchased serial number on the trialversion and activate it.
    There's no difference between the trial and the full version except that the trial version is good for 30 days.

  • Need help transitioning from trial to purchased version

    I started with the trial and then downloaded Aperture from the app store. Now whenever I use Aperture, it says Aperture 3 Trial Library. Did I do something wrong?

    That's just the name of your Aperture Library.  The Library is a Finder package -- it shows in Finder as a file.  Close Aperture, go to Finder, select your Library (it's called "Aperture 3 Trial Library"), and name it anything you'd like.  Then double-click it to load Aperture.  After that, every time you start Aperture it will load your newly-renamed Library.
    Or, if you want to start with a fresh, empty Library, create a new one.  When you create it Aperture will ask you to name it.

  • Questions about going from Trial Version to Academic Version?

    1.) I'm using a trial version of LR and adding keywords through it. I'm planning to purchase the Academic version with the next few weeks. I'm assuming that everything I do with the trial version will also open up in the Academic version? All my keywording, etc.
    2.) I am starting with Lightroom on my Macbook Pro notebook with the trial account and am tagging images, and want to move all the images later to my desktop Macpro computer when I purchase the academic version of LR. Is this a bad idea for any reason? Will I be able to easily transfer everything without LR getting confused for any reason?
    Thanks.

    Changes made in Lightroom such as keywords still need to be written out to the files if they are visible in other applications as Lightroom is a database that contains changes in a non-destrcutive manner. You can do this by turning on Autowrite to Xmp in Catalog Settings or by selecting all your files and ctrl/cmd-s (the usual save settings. Lightroom does NOT contain image files, they stay where they are on your HD and does NOT back up the image files. A Lightroom back up only backs up the Catalog file itself.
    If you stop using Lightroom development changes would only be visisble in ACR, to see them in other applications you would need to export the files as Tiffs, etc which will contain the changes made. This would be just the same if you used Canon's DPP, nothing else can read changes.
