I have CS5 Premium TRIAL. I want to replace it with FULL CS5 Design Std.

What is the best way to do this? Should I play it safe and just uninstall the Trial version and run the installer for the Full version?
Since Illustrator and InDesign are the same in both, I was just wondering if there might be a shortcut here so I don't have to waste time uninstalling 2 programs that will be put back.
I'm guessing I can't just put in my serial number when the Trial Window launches, or can I? Of course, Photoshop would need to be reinstalled since I will not have the Extended version anymore.

Well, I have to say that I'm pleasantly surprised! I did NOT have to reinstall from disc. Here's what happened:
I put the installer disc in and was going to do the full Uninstall/Reinstall. But out of curiosity, I went through the installer Read Me. It mentioned going from Trial to Full - it said essentially what Vipul mentioned - put in the serial number from ANY Creative Suite when launching the Trial Copy.
Hmmm... this sounds too easy. It will never work!
I figured, worst thing that would happen is it wouldn't work and I would have to uninstall and reinstall, which is what I was planning. But I tried it anyway.
I launched InDesign, got the Trial window, and put in my new serial number. It accepted it and launched normally. Hmmm... so far so good. I launched Illustrator, and it launched with no Trial window. Even better.
Now for the real test: I launched Photoshop - fully expecting an error of some kind due to the discrepancy between versions. Shockingly, it worked! Amazingly, it downgraded itself to the Standard version - I didn't do a thing (ie: The Extended Menus are now gone). Program works fine.
I did have to do a full install of Acrobat Pro, but that went smoothly and quick.
So again, I'm very happy to say that this worked out quite well, which was not the case in previous versions (in my experience). Very nice. Thanks to all.

  • I have an Airport Extreme, I want to replace it with a Time Capsule.  I swapped my cables to the new TC, unplugged both Cox Cable modem and Airport Extreme.  Started up by plugging A/C power for Cox Cable modem, then power to TC.  Result is blinking amber

    I tried unplugging again and restarting the TC first, still gets blinking amber light.  I even reset the TC because I was using it for backups only in the network, I just want to move it to the primary position.  I don't even get the option of starting a new network.
    I need help.

    Blinking amber light is not the issue.. that will involve lots of issues due to your reset.
    Make sure you have a computer plugged into the TC by ethernet.. do not do setups over wireless.
    Even if you need to do the setup in complete isolation that doesn't matter.. it will work when you return it to the network.
    Do a full factory reset.. I am not sure what resets you have done up to now.. full factory means you hold in reset before applying power.. and keep holding in reset until the front led flashes rapidly. About 10sec.
    The TC must be in router mode if your cable modem is only a modem.. but I don't know if your cable modem is pure modem or modem router.. if the later then the TC should be in router bridged mode.
    Once you have that right.. plug it back into the modem if you had to remove it..
    Power cycle again if you need to. It can take 15min or more of modem off to reset the cable setting for MAC address.
    Then you can setup wireless, although you can also do it whilst connected by ethernet which is usually better.
    What airport utility are you using.. the latest one is too automatic.. stop any attempt to automate the setup and do it manually if you get stuck.
    Even use the old utility is sometimes better.. 5.6 can be loaded even on Mountain Lion with a bit of a fiddle.

  • Good morning , I have installed Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium and I want to uninstall the Adobe Indesign CS5.5. Deactivation of the license is necessary before then reinstall ?

    good morning , I have installed Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium and I want to uninstall the Adobe Indesign CS5.5. Deactivation of the license is necessary before then reinstall ?

    Are you just uninstalling ID, and leaving the rest of the suite in place? You don't need to deactivate to do that.
    A suite license does not permit you to install individual components on many different machines so that different users have access to them, if that is what you are contemplating.

    I have a PC running Windows XP (yes an antique) with CS3 Photoshop and InDesign and lightroom 2 (yes all antiques). I have acquired a PC running Windows 7 with no programs. I also have a MacBook pro  with full CS5 suite. The programs were already loaded with I got it as a gift. Question 1. If I find serial numbers used to download programs to the old PC, can those CS3 programs be put on the newer PC. Question 2. I really want to put CS5 suite on PC machines. Is that possible? Especially since my MacBook is showing some hard drive problems.

    You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  Downloading the programs does not require a serial number.  You can find them here:  Download CS3 products  but you will need the serial number to activate the programs.  You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
    You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version.  Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)

    If you don't see any messages, not have anti-malware running or the Firewall on, try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8 (according to your profile).
    Restart your Mac after the combo in installed, try the App Store.
    Also... if you have an app called Little Snitch installed, that can prevent a connection to the App Store.

  • ITunes keeps asking if I want to replace app with one I'm moving

    Every time I open iTunes (or do anything with my apps) it keeps telling me a newer version of an app already exists in my library and am I sure I want to replace it with the one I'm moving. Only, I don't think I'm moving any apps, and no matter what I choose it keeps asking every time I open iTunes, and goes through at least half my apps every time.
    I've tried updating the apps, updating iTunes, but nothing seems to work.

    Ok I had this problem earlier due to me attempting to move my iTunes library from one computer to a newer one. If that is what you did before receiving the message then you must go into the iTunes folder on your computer, it should be under music in your computer. After that go to iTunes media and find the Mobile applications folder it should be empty, Open another folder and go to Tunes media then look for the folder titled "Automatically add to Tunes" find the mobile applications folder in their ( Should have a iTunes media folder within that folder and the mobile applications is located in their) The apps in this folder are being continuously re added to your media so simply copy all of the apps here and move it to the first mobile applications folder.
    However if you switching to a new computer is not the case then you could always also delete all the apps within the original mobile applications folder like how it is stated in this discussion.
    A newer version of the app '...' already exists...

    Calls have been dropping out mid-call (after initially working) with full reception since upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS5 (can hear them but they can't hear me). The call initially works but then after a minute or so, they stop hearing me, even though I can hear them. Sometimes it goes the other way and I can't hear them.
    Please advise how to remedy ASAP.

    PS: I have had full reception bars when this has occured on a 3G network in Sydney, Australia (3 Mobile).

  • Hi, Im using apple 5s with gold color , I want  to replace it with space grey  color .Is it possible in apple store?

    Hi, Im using apple 5s with gold color , I want to replace it with space grey color .Is it possible in apple store?

    If you are within the return period policy of the retail where you purchased the
    iPhone, return it and buy a new one. If outside the return period, sell the current
    iPhone privately and use the money received toward a new iPhone. Or buy a
    case in your preferred color for your current iPhone.
    If purchased from Apple US, return period is 14 days. I believe it is the same elsewhere,
    but check with your local Apple store. Be advised, that even if you are within the return
    period, returns are accepted only in the country of original purchase (EU is one country
    for this purpose).

  • If I already have CS5, but want to do a free 30 day trial of CS6 will it interfere with my cs5?

    If I already have CS5, but want to do a free 30 day trial of CS6 will it interfere with my copy of CS6? Does it download separately?

    Separate versions, separat install and licensing. CS6 will do nothing to your existing software and as a matter of fact your CS5 will remain in place even with the full version of CS6 unless you explicitly uninstall it....

  • Satellite C850 - boot from DVD issue - want to replace Win8 with Win7U

    Got a new C850-1JZ yesterday and am trying to replace pre-installed Win 8 with Windows 7. I did create the recovery media (3 DVDs).
    The laptop is driving me "insane" as it seems to block any attempt to boot anything else other than Win8 on the preinstalled hdd.
    1.) Inserted Win 7 Ultimate DVD and tried to boot, would not boot from disk.
    2.) Loaded advanced boot menu and tried to boot from ODD, would not boot from disk it. (Options are LAN, USB, HDD, and ODD (assuming this is optical disk drive)
    3.) Changed regular bios settings boot priority to boot from ODD first, then HDD, would not boot from disk.
    4.) Learned there is a "security boot protection" mechanism enabled by default in the bios. Turned it off. Machine starts loading from ODD and says "Windows is loading files" then hangs. This is a MS original Win7 Ultimate disk from the Microsoft store, no scratches. Makes no sense. We actually have 2 of them, so I tried the other, same result.
    5.) Thought screw that, let's just put the hard drive from the other computer (T61) in here then and do clean new setup another time. Replaced hdd with other sata hdd that has Win 7 ultimate installed and system configured. When booting from hdd, it says "No OS" found and reboots. When booting from ODD, it starts with windows is loading files again and then freezes.
    What kind of other extra protection/virus blocker/stupid setting am I missing here? This is puzzling me. Thanks.

    *Thanks as***, that solves the problem.*
    After 10 days Toshiba Support in Germany came back with the same answer.
    Basically it seems the UEFI Firmware has some reference to Win 8 or the original OS and key and boat loader that is checks, and you cannot load anything else until you disable it by:
    1) In the BIOS, disable "secure boot" mode
    2) In the BIOS advanced settings, switch from UEFI to CMS mode.
    Then you should be able to install anything as the new OS.
    Also, if you want to write down your product key / serial number , since it is not printed anywhere (e.g. no sticker on the bottom of the laptop) [Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit|http://belarc.com/free_download.html] is a good tool to retrieve this from the registry and write it down.
    As far as I know it's "glued" to this particular hardware, so not portable, but it might be a good idea to write it down in case you lose the system recovery disk but would want to re-install it with the original serial number.
