How to uninstall CS3 trial version after expired.

I use a program that launches PhotoShop 7 to process pictures via MicroSoft Access. The program keeps trying to launch CS3 which is an expired trial version that I was doing some training on earlier this year. I had recently installed CS5 Extended Trial Version and then noticed that I could not use my program to launch Photoshop 7 to process my pictures so I uninstalled CS5 Extended from the Add/Remove Program list in the Control Panel.So now I'm having this problem of the Program trying to launch CS3.
I then recieve an error message "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling this product or contact your IT Administrator or Adobe customer support for help."
But, CS3 doesn't show in the Add/Remove Program list in the Control Panel.

Have you tried the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool?
Also, there are some utilities, that will survey your system for programs, that have been partially uninstalled, or are still installed, and clean up after them. I have used Clean Sweep in the past, when it was a part of Symantec's Norton SystemWorks, but I think that it is not affiliated with Norton anymore. Have not used it in many years/versions, so cannot comment. Others might have recs. on current utilities for cleaning up after an uninstall, or completely removing an installed program.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • How to uninstall a trial version of Adobe Pre Elements 11 if I already bought one at the App Store?

    I installed a trial version of Adb Pre Elements 11, then bought the same app at the AppStore. I want to uninstall the trial version without affecting the one purchased. Please, what's the procedure?

    Sapriil
    Here is my take on your situation.
    If you have the Premiere Elements 11 Mac tryout on your computer and it was downloaded from Adobe, you do not have the same program from the Mac Store under the name Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac Only). This Mac Store version of the program comes without the Elements Organizer 11.
    So, I would review the wisdom of plugging a Mac Store purchased serial number into your Adobe tryout under the circumstances. I am not on firm ground here. But, if it is I suspect and you want what you purchased, then consider uninstalling the Adobe tryout and installing what you purchased from the Mac Store with the serial number that the Mac Store gives you.
    I would ask Steve Grisetti to double check on this point before you proceed with the computer setup.
    Did you realize that the Elements Organizer was not a part of the Mac Store version?
    More later.
    Thanks for the follow up.

  • How to Uninstall the Trial Version of CS4 InDesign, clean?

    I need to get back to CS2 InDesign and I don't want to have any issues with my other Adobe products in the meantime, until I purchase the upgrade to CS4 later. I know that I use the installer program. But do I check the 'Remove Application Preferences"?

    Last night I uninstalled Creative Suite Premium without removing prefs, and then installed the master collection. I won't say it was 100% smooth, but as far as I can tell that was an anomaly due to my system configuration, and nothing whatever to do with my prefs. It was really nice to see ID and Photoshop loading with all the custom stuff from the past year.

    If you paid for a subscription you don't need the trial. Log in with the Adobe ID associated with your subscription to activate the program.

  • Do I need to uninstall my trial version of CS6 and install using disk to get After Effects?

    Do I need to uninstall my trial version of CS6 and install using disk to get After Effects?

    No, the trial version is identical to the purchased version in every aspect other than the time limitation. Besides, the boxed version will probably be LR 4.0 and then need to be updated. To cancel the time limit simply supply the registration key from the back of the box in Help/Registration.

    Hello  yaniv7m,
    in my eyes you will find it only in shops like ebay or Amazon, like this:

  • How can i uninstall the trial version of illustrator off my computer (mac)?

    I'd like to be able to uninstall the trial version of illustrator off of my mac, so that i can redownload it and actually try it, as i didn't get a chance to trial it the first time!
    Help Please!!

    cara,
    Unfortunately, you can only download a trial version once, no matter whether you used it much, little, or not at all. It only puts the application at your disposal with no tracing of your possible use.
    Back in January or thereabouts, a fresh start was made so you could download a second trial, but no trial since then is repeatable.

  • How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

    Hello,
    I am new here and need some help.
    I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my home windows computer and like it very much. I have then proceeded to purchase a box copy which will only arrive after two weeks. However i do not plan to install it on my home computer but my new imac computer at my office where i will do all my photo editing.
    My problem is i cannot wait for two weeks for the product to arrive. Can i download another trial version for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes can i just use the serial number and activate the trial version or do i have to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller she says that i cant do this because i need to reinstall the box product again which sounds weird to me.
    My other question is the earlier trial version that i installed in my home computer, i dont plan to use it anymore, so can i just ignore it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Importing photos puts information for each one into the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR knows how to read and write.  Reopening the catalog with a new install of LR would tell LR where each of those photos is, and what adjustments you'd made.  You don't have to reimport as long as you reopen the same catalog file with the new install.  You could try this on Windows:  uninstall-reinstall-reopen, and see how it works to get comfortable with it.   You only have to reimport if you lose your catalog, and have to start a new one.  If you write the metadata to files, either automatically via a preference, or manually via the Metadata menu item and grid mode, then you can even have your adjustments intact if you have to reimport, but you'll lose your history and other things that are only in the catalog and not in the XMP sidecar files.  These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer edits from the PC version to the Mac version of LR which you probably hadn't considered.  At least I don't think you can copy the LR catalog file from a PC and open it on a Mac.
    If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do enter in the serial number, you can pick up where you left off. 
    Lightroom isn't activated like Photoshop where there is a Adobe-server record of each computer and serial number.  LR is just either an unregistered-trial, an expired-trial or registered.  LR is smart enough to understand if you've installed it on the computer, before, so you can't extend a trial by uninstalling and re-installing w/o reformatting your HD and reinstalling the OS, or at least I think that is enough.

  • Flash CS3 trial version - Dreamweaver 8 won't work anymore

    I recently installed the trial version of Flash CS3. It
    worked fine, but after the 30 day evaluation period, Dreamweaver 8,
    an app I've had installed for a few years now ceases to work. It
    loads up, then immediately crashes. Prior to that, both apps worked
    fine concurrently.
    I uninstalled the Flash CS3 trial version. Still, Dreamweaver
    8 crashes.
    I found the CS3Clean Script, ran that, and Dreamweaver 8
    still crashes.
    I'm positive this has something to do with the 30 day
    evaluation period, because I was using Dreamweaver fine yesterday.
    Any ideas on how I can fix this?
    I've tried re-installing Dreamweaver along with the 8.0.2
    update and still get the same results.
    I have Flash 8 installed already, if that helps.
    Thanks.

    This really depends on what exactly you want to do.
    To export Photos from iPhoto to the Finder just use the Export command: file -> Export
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    But this will not save you any disk space unless you also delete the photos from iPhoto.
    If you want to move the Library to a flash drive: first make sure it's big enough.
    Then make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the Flash Drive.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Can't access my program. Get notice trial version has expired

    I purchased Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for school. I recently installed it on my computer on 1/8/14 and registered it 1/13/14. I went to get it in yesterday and I received a notice that my trial version has expired and am unable to get in to photoshop completely. I have the product serial number or license and it is in my profile. I don't recall doing it but I might have downloaded a trial verious last year. If that is the case, I figure that might be causing me all the issues. My question is how do I remove that trial version and begin using my licensed version? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! I have assignments due and it's hard to get them done when I can't even access my program.

    Glad you got it working. But I'm concerned by the 'couldn't get anywhere' statement when you tried to sign in with your Adobe ID. Take a look under your Help menu in the Editor and make sure you have a 'Sign Out' entry followed by your Adobe ID email address. If not then at some point soon you will get a warning that the software needs to be signed in to keep using it. If not a Sign Out, then there should be a Sign In - that you should choose and try again.
    Cheers,

  • Should I uninstall PE8 trial version before instaling PE8 ?

    Just wondering what is  the reccomended way to install PE8 after previously installing the trail version.
    Should I uninstall the trial version and re-install PE8, or just enter my license info to the trial version ?
    I thought the boxed version has some additional templeates etc that are not in the trial version.

    There is nothing in the disc version of the program that is not in the trial download, mk. (Even the extra templates are available as a download.)
    But that said, it certainly wouldn't hurt to uninstall it and install the disc version anyway. Sometimes a re-installation to fix some things that didn't take on the first installation.

  • CS3 Trial version

    My Dreamweaver 8 trial version has expired. Will I still be
    able to use the CS3 trial version on the same computer?

    >
    Yes, no problem. I had the DW8 trial, it expired and then I
    installed CS3
    without problems with a full 30 days worth of testing. They
    install in different
    folders and et-up different registry keys (if you're on
    Windows at least...)

  • How do I activate trial version of PSE8

    How do I activate trial version of PSE8 (I already have the serial number)

    If you have already fully installed the trial version but skipped or overlooked entering the serial number...
    uninstall PSE8 by using your PC's uninstall facility
    have serial number handy (it is in the format: nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn)
    reinstall by executing Adobe's PSE8  installation .exe file
    about 75% of the way through the installation process, i.e. at the Product Configuration stage, insert the serial number when requested, making sure you include the digit separators -       -       -       -      -   between each of the six groups of four numbers.
    continue with installation
