Illustrator cs4 trial

Having trouble installing cs4 trial for mac, run akamai download manager and got the .dmg file, when I click on that it starts to verify but then I get a message in a box:
'warning the following disk image failed to mount' and 'no mountable file systems'. 
New to macs so any help would be good thanks.

Looks like the .dmg did not download completely and is damaged. When I downloaded it it took its own sweet time to complete but then worked fine. I suggest you re-try the download.

  • Illustrator CS4 Trial asking for serial number

    I just installed Illustrator CS4 TRIAL and it is stating that trial has expired and is asking for a serial number.  I literally only downloaded this about an hour ago.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is up with that?
    Thanks!

    You had another trial (of another product) and let it time out, locking the licensing system or another existing Adobe product is preventing the trial from running. Nothing you can do about it, unless you feel like wiping your computer and reinstalling your operating system from scratch plus al lthe software.

  • Cannot Install Illustrator CS4 Trial or any others?

    I have Downloaded and successfully installed Adobe PS, AE, DW and FL with no problem.  But I recently tried to download Adobe Premeir and Adobe Illustrator trials and my computer locked up.  It would not start correctly and I had to restore my computer to a earlier time.  After this I have been able to download the trial files but when the installation bar gets to the end it says that a component of (insert CS4 program here) was unable to install.  I have tried many times to install again with other products and with no programs whatsoever open.  Did me having to restore my computer have anythign to do with this?

    Well, you made a mess! (don't take it personally) Most likely the problems lies within the order in which you installed. There's an intricate web of interdependencies between shared Adobe components across programs and some of that is fragile, to say the least, so it breaks down when one install tries to overwrite or update some of those components. There's a reason, why there is a Master collection. You best bet at this point is to simply use the CS4 Clean Utility from the support pages to unregister all installer files from the database, then simply install the programs that so far you weren't able to get on your system. You can repeat this after every install or when something seems to have gone wrong, it really leaves the programs in place intact. The only downside is, that when you want to get rid of it, you will have to manually delete all directories....

  • Cannot open old Illustrator files (pre version 8) in CS4 trial

    Hi
    I am thinking of upgrading from Illustrator CS2 to CS4. However, I have downloaded the trial version and have found that Illustrator CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8 (pre 2000) whereas Illustrator CS2 had no problem with this. I do not want to resave my old files as there are way too many of them (hundreds!).
    I am running Windows XP.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks

    Exactly what happens when you attempt to open one of these old files in AI 14 (CS4)? (If you get an error message, what does it say?)
    Can you post a sample file up on a server or service and provide the link here? That way, others with AI 14 can test to see whether it's something peculiar to your installation.
    Please also tell us exactly how you are attempting to open the files. (Double-clicking in Explorer? Using File | Open from within Illustrator? Dragging and dropping onto an AI 14 shortcut?)
    >...CS4 cannot open old Illustrator files earlier than version 8...
    I find it very difficult to believe AI 14 can open version 8 but not version 7 files. There was no significant change in the native file format.

  • Trouble getting Illustrator CS4 to run, and when it does: no workspaces

    At work (University of St Andrews) I have Adobe CS4 Web Premium and everything installs and runs okay apart from Illustrator CS4.
    I've tried to install it on two different PCs, both Dell Precision workstations. One had Windows XP Professional 32-bit, the new one has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I get exactly the same behaviour on both. I've even tried to install it on Windows 7's XP Mode and I get the same error messages!
    INSTALLATION #1
    When I installed it I got an error saying "Done, with errors". Details showed:
    Error
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2
    When I then tried to run the application it just wouldn't start, it would throw up an error message. It simply would not start.
    INSTALLATION #2
    So I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and got the same error.
    COPY FILES - NO WORKSPACES
    I then read this advice on a forum:
    "Do you have a working install of Ai CS4 on another computer anywhere?
    If so, go into C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator\Support\Required
    and copy the Resources file to the same location on the computer that
    encounters the error. I was having the same problem, but luckily I had a
    working install on another OS, so I just compared the files between the
    two installations and found the missing ones."
    So I copied over these files from a working copy elsewhere in the department and this time the application ran but I now have no WorkSpace settings and cannot save any either.
    INSTALLATION #3
    I then uninstalled again and tried to reinstall. This time on the installer I was given a number of language options. Rather than English (International) I selected English (US) and lo! and behold! the installer ran without errors and the application opened ok and this time I had WorkSpaces... the only problem was that it would only run in trial mode because it wouldn't accept my serial number, which I'm guessing is for English (International) only.
    INSTALLATION #4
    Uninstall, again. Reinstall, again, this time in English (International).
    Now the application opens but again I have no WorkSpaces, and cannot save any workspaces.
    What can I do? Any idea how can I get a fully working version of Illustrator CS4 on my PC that includes workspaces?
    Thank you
    Gareth

    Hi Carey,
    Thanks for your post. I have followed your instructions and here are my replies:
    Are you having any issues with your other Adobe products, or is it just Illustrator?
    If just Illustrator, did you previously install the product separately (i.e. as a trial, or as a pre-release/beta)?
    I am having problems only with Illustrator CS4. I have not installed the product separately, either as a trial or a pre-release or beta.
    In fact, I installed Adobe CS4 Web Premium on a clean, newly installed, straight-from-the-Dell-factory Dell Precision T7400. It was the first application I installed, and Illustrator wasn't working straight after the installation.
    I've not had any problems with other Adobe applications. The only time the serial number became an issue was when I tried to reinstall Illustrator CS4 using "English (US)" as an option, simply out of curiosity as this hadn't been an option with the original installation of the whole suite.
    I followed the instructions:
    Deleted C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS4.
    Updated permissions for Public Documents (although when I reached step 12: "Click Apply and click Permissions tab." there was no Permissions tab).
    Reinstalled Illustrator CS4 from the setup.exe file. You said uncheck everything else, however the following applications would not allow me to untick them:
    Adobe Bridge CS4
    Adobe Extension Manager CS4
    Supporting Components:
              Adobe CMaps CS4
              Adobe CSI CS4
              Adobe CSI CS4 x64
              Adobe Color EU Recommended Settings CS4
              Adobe Color JA Extra Settings CS4
              Adobe Color NA Extra Settings CS4
              Adobe Default Language CS4
              Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS4
              Adobe Fonts All CS4
              Adobe Adobe Linguistics CS4
              Adobe Output Module
              Adobe PDF Library Files CS4
              Adobe Search for Help
              Adobe Service Manager Extension
              Adobe Type Support CS4
              Adobe Update Manager CS4
              Adobe WinSoft Linguistics PLugin x64
              Adobe XMP Panels CS4
              AdobeColorCommonSetCMYK
              AdobeColorCommonSetRGB
              Connect
              PDF Settings CS4
              Photoshop Camera Raw _x64
              kuler
    The installer ran, and I got exactly the same error as before:
    Error
    Adobe Illustrator CS4 LangPack (en_GB)
    Error:
    Error 2
    Now when I try to run Illustrator CS4 I get a dialog box saying:
    Error
    The localized resource files for this application could not be loaded. Please reinstall or repair the application and try again.
    This is the ninth time I've tried to reinstall it.
    I'll try to send you a direct message with the serial number and take it from there.
    Thanks

  • Illustrator CS4 Not Starting (no error messages)

    I'm running into a problem trying to run Illustrator CS4.  It has worked int he past, but I've gone a month or two without touching it. Yesterday I installed a trial version of Photoshop CS4, which ran fine.  Today I tried to start up Illustrator and I can't get the program running.
    Illustrator will startup and show the 'License Agreement' screen where you can accept or decline.  If I click on Accept the screen disappears and then nothing happens.  If I watch the processes on the task manager, I see that Illustrator is running, but it stops about 10 seconds after the agreement screen disappears.
    After searching the forums here, I've uninstalled Photoshop (thinking there was a conflict), uninstalled and reinstalled Illustrator several times with no luck.  Taking suggestions from the forums and thinking that it might be licensing issues, I ran clean up tools and the license recovery tools, with no luck.  I even tried to move out some fonts even though it doesn't get that far.  I've gone in and tried deleting what preference files I could.  I even logged on as a different user to see if there was a corrupt file (no go).
    At this point I have no idea what's going wrong.  It simply doesn't start up and I have no errors (Are there log files that I'm missing somewhere?)  Any suggestions would be much appreciated, I'm at my wits end. :/
    Thanks

    ran fine before :b

    But are you running with full administrative privileges? AI hanging after the l.a., is a pretty clear indicator that the respective signature/ lock files for the licensing system cannot be created. Log in as administsrator and try to launch AI. If it works, then AI should work again under any user account. alsop check, whether the licensing service actually launches. May similarly be a problem with the service (FNPlicensingservice.exe) not starting and thus no license file being created.

  • Can you use Adobe Illustrator CS4 Classroom in a book tutorials(on CD rom) without buying the software?

    I recently purchased Adobe Illustrator Classroom In a book CS4, and am having trouble getting to the lessons through the CD-rom which came with the book. My question is do I need to purchase the Illustrator CS4 product to use the tutorials/lessons? I would REALLY appreciate some help, it's needed for a college credit for a design major. Thank you!!

    There's the trial version that you can download from adoble.com.  I think it's good for 30 days.  Other than that, doesn't your school have a computer lab?
    There's no way to open the files and work with them other than in a copy of Illustrator.  You might be able to open them in inkscape (free) or Freehand (no longer available) but then what are you learning?  Not Illustrator...
    [edit]  You should be able to get most of the lessons done in an older version of Illy though, which might be more affordable (if you can find them for sale)

  • Installing my Illustrator CS4

    Hi, I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and when I try to install my Illustrator CS4 the installer refuses to let me type in my serial number and I'm obliged to opt for a trial period. Why am I having this problem?

    Hi Fergus1,
    Please check if you have the right serial number meant for the right software version else the installer will not accept.
    Give me the serial number and I will check that for you.
    Send me a private message. Do not post it here.

  • Illustrator CS4 Crash on Startup

    Hi,
      I'm trying to evaluate a copy of Illustrator CS4.  So far I am having some serious problems just installing the software and trying to get it to work.  I have installed the software (as downloaded from the Adobe site), selected a trial license and left all options as default.  The installation proceeds normally and finally presents a message that all is ok.
    At this point I start Illustrator and every time I get the following error: "Error loading plugins.  ScriptingSupport.aip"  After presseing ok to this the startup continues to the product screen.  As soon as you click on any part of the product the application crashes and presents a crash report dialog.  It then shuts down.
    Has anyone experienced anything like this?  If so how did you resolve it?
    Thanks.
    P.S.
    Windows XP Professional Edition, SP3, fully up to date with updates.
    Application was installed using an account that has administrator privilages.

    Hi Joanna_H,
    You can try this solution.
    1. Navigate to  navigate to MAC HD > Users > User Name > Library > Preferences.
    2. You will find the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Setting  folder,
    3. Delete the folder and try to launch the software.
    4. Launch the software to check if it works.
    Please do reply.
    Hope it works.
    Good Luck

  • Illustrator CS4 won't open any files since installing CS6

    Every since I installed CS6, whenever I try to open files in Illustrator (all files, not just the new downsaved from CS6 files), the program goes into "Not Responding" and I can't do anything until I crash out. It also will not let me create new files.
    I've tried deleting my Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder as I saw suggested in another discussion, but it did not help.
    Since my CS6 trial is ending soon and I'm not sure about upgrading yet, I really need my CS4 to be functional.
    I'm running WIndows Vista 64 bit. Never had any problems with Illustrator before this.
    Any suggestions?

    Ok, so I uninstalled Illustrator CS4, ran the CS Cleaner Tool, which messed up all my other CS4 programs, reinstalled the whole CS4 Suite, and Illustrator CS4 STILL won't open files (or allow me to create new ones). I only have two days left on my CS6 trial and I'm not sure if I'm upgrading right away, so I really need to figure out a way to make my AI CS4 work soon!

  • Illustrator CS4 Crashes At Start Up

    I start Illustrator CS4 and it doesn't want to open past updating font menu.  I can get the program to work when I delete the AI preferences, and the font caches, and restarting, but it only is a temporary fix because it will happen again even in the same day.  Any suggestions, I haven't installed any new fonts or anything.
    It often freezes up too and won't let me use my task manager.  I use windows xp.

    Having the same issue.  Suddenly CS4 Illustrator was crashing after splash screen after working fine for many months.
    I installed the trial for CS5 after no solution was found and now neither will stay open past the splash screen.

  • Illustrator CS4 crash with Mac OS X.10 Yosemite

    Hello, after installing Mac OS X.10 Yosemite, my Illustrator CS4 doesn't open and block with this message below. I run the latest version of Java. Anyone has an idea or a solution to fix this bug ? ?  

    Could you please tell me how you reinstalled CS4? I have uninstalled CS4 and followed the instructions to download a trial version to reinstall but all I get is this:
    How do I use this to reinstall? Going mad as I had exactly the same issues when I bought a new iMac last year with Mavericks. I can't afford to shell out £1,000s of pounds on CS6 nor can I afford £50 a month for something that was working fine before I made the error of upgrading to Yosemite.
