How to uninstall trial elements 6

I don't know how to uninstall the trial version of elements 6. I can't load the new disc i bought today until the trial is removed.....I get errors. 2hrs with tech support was no help at all. Any thoughts.

I’m not sure if Photoshop Elements does it, but some software developers have their software periodically “phone home” to them.  The software reports back to the developer’s web site and says, “Hi, I’m serial number 12345v6 and I’m running on a computer with the serial number of C02FCCD7DF92”.  I don’t know the reporting interval, but let's say this phone home process happens once a week.  This phone home process can only happen when you have launched the software on a computer and that computer is connected to the Internet.
By recording and comparing the serial numbers, this allows the software developer to know if you have installed this version of the software on more than one computer - which is a real No-No.
I don’t know that Photoshop Elements is using this phone home option, but how else could Adobe know that you are running the same serial number of Elements on two different computers?  It’s not as though you’re phoning Adobe.
I don’t believe that there is a “deactivate” option that you need to select.  What if the old computer had died yesterday, and you no longer could launch Elements to select a deactivate option?
If I’m right, you could “deactivate” the software, if you just stop using Elements on the old computer.  That’s a bit dangerous because if you were to accidentally launch this software on the old computer - it will phone home.
To insure that you are safe, I’d uninstall the version by putting the version of Elements on the old computer in the trash, and emptying the trash.  You then would only have the software installed on one computer.

  • How to uninstall Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac?

    I just installed the trial copy of Photoshop Elements 8 on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.1. Now I would like to uninstall it. According to the readme file which came with the product:
    "To uninstall Photoshop Elements 8, you MUST USE THE INSTALLER'S UNINSTALL OPTION; do not drag the program to the trash to uninstall it."
    I lunch setup program from dmg image, but there is no uninstall option there.
    How do I completely uninstall Photoshop Elements 8 and all its components from my Mac?

  • How to uninstall trial of Acrobat XI

    I had a trial version of Acrobat XI pro. I paid for and downloaded the full version when trial ended.
    When I try to open it I get the message that the trial has ended and do I want to buy. How do I uninstall the trial?

    Hi CoolCos13,
    You can convert the trial version of Acrobat to a licensed software.
    On the trial screen, Click on "License this Software " and then enter your Adobe Id and Serial number to license it.
    Thanks,

  • How to uninstall trial version of InDesign CS4

    I need to reinstall my CS3 suite, but installation process
    asks for InDesign CS 4 which I supposedly "uninstalled" already.
    Some traces I guess remain - how to do the complete Uninstall?
    Thanks!

    If you tried to uninstall the trial by dragging it to the Trash, that's not the right way.
    There should be an uninstaller in this location: Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers. The installers/uninstallers are in that folder.

  • Problem with Elements 9 after uninstalling trial Elements 13:

    I have a licenced version of Elements 9 on my PC and decided to try Elements 13 so installed a trial version.  13 was too slow on my PC so I uninstalled it.
    Since uninstalling, Windows 7 (Home Premium) does not recognise Elements 9 as a program that I can set as a default for opening file types. 
    I am also unable to choose Elements 9  from Windows Picture Viewer for opening a file that I have opened there. (This started after the PSE 13 installation where only PSE 13 was available, not 9)
    This is driving me crazy - I like using Picture viewer as a fast way of scanning through shots and then directly opening the shot in PSE from there.
    Any suggestions for fix please?
    Thanks

    Unless you have an old Windows XP single core processor everything should work well.
    Are you using proximity or content aware with the healing brush?
    There are many work arounds for the new tools in PSE9 so you may not need to spend cash.
     

  • How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

    I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

    This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
    If that fails try the AE forum.

  • How to uninstall trial to install purchased suite

    Through college we were to install trial adobe creative design suite premium until our purchased software came in. My purchased adobe creative design suite premium software has arrived and I would like to make sure I perform the correct process to uninstall the trial software and then to correctly install the purchased software without bouncing up against an error of software already installed or anything else I might run up against. Thank you.

    Don't bother. Simply activate your trial using Help --> Activate.

  • PSE installation issues - How do you uninstall trial version???

    I've read several posts about this already, but I can't seem to figure out how to uninstall the trial version of PSE for mac. (I am getting the critical errors/incompatible payloads error message. Shame on Adobe for not fixing this yet.)
    I read not to dump it into the trash. But when I launch the program from untilities I don't see any option to unintall. One post said to "remove it" How do you do this? The delete key doesn't work. How on earth do you uninstall something? I can't even get into the trial version because it keeps asking for a serial number (and I've read entering it doesn't help. I'm so lost, and really didn't plan on spending my hard earned Friday night doing this.) Any help would be much much appreciated!

    There is no uninstaller. The only two icons in the Adobe Installer folder were something called Exented Scripts Installer and the Photoshop Elements icon. I got tired of messing around with it after several hours and finally ran the cleanscript 3 program which worked; I was able to install the purchased version right away. It still really bothers me that I could not figure out how to uninstall though, I'm sure I will need to in the future.
    I wonder if my computer is just missing this installer/uninstaller option?

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.
