Illustrator CS5.1 tryout closes as soon as it launched and saying it was last trial launch

Hi,
Obiously I'm on the first day of trial, shows 30 days remaining.
However as soon as Illustrator CS5.1 tryout launches, it automatically closed and said it was last trial launch.
I'm very confused. What should I do?

We don't have any way to extend the trial.  It is possible you may have other software installed which has interferred with the trial process.  Which operating system are you using btw?  Did you receive any error messages during the install process?

    I am using Illustrator CS5. I am using a certain font and when I make a selection to use one of the letter options or a glyph, it does not take my selection; in other words, nothing changes.

    What font? What system? What Glyph? What language settings? Could be anything. Either way, ask in the AI forum. You'll get quicker answers there - if you provide all the required info.

    Hi Shawn and Jason,
    I have the same problem. One workaround is to clean your disk before running LiveCycledesigner. After you have cleaned up your disk LiveCycleDesigner will start a few times and you can work with it.
    It is an Vista problem. LiveCycleDesigner 8.1 which is just released had fixed the problem so you can also download 8.1

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 (ALT DRAG COPY) not working. Why and how do I fix it?

    I click on the object I want to duplicate, then I click ALT (double duplicate arrows appear) and then select the object (double duplicate arrows disappear), then I drag and nothing duplicates or copies...all it does it move the object I was trying to copy. How do I fix this?

    jokerlex,
    You may be lucky to have one of the easy ones at the top work.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 crash when Save for Web and Devices (Mac)

    Hi baffled with this.
    When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
    HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I had this happen before so under the advice of Adobe I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
    So my question now is why now?... what has triggered this AGAIN?...
    Hope you can help... anyone.
    Running:
    Mac OS X 10.6.6
    Mac Pro tower.
    Note:
    have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2
    have deleted all font caches
    have deleted everything... that could be related...
    HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder
    Please too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
    thanks

    If you use cocktail I suggest you get rid of it it can cause serious problems if you select the wrong settings, instead download ONYXwhich is free and will not harm your system or corrupt anything by deleting something you actually need.
    I hit the wrong setting using cocktail and it locked me out of all of the hard drives installed or connected to my Mac it is very dangerous. And I cannot imagine a reason for a setting that would protect your hard drives from yourself to the point of not recognizing your own password.
    I know it cost money and has advanced settings but having the ability to kill your system is crazy.
    Also to repair your permissions use the disk utility or ONYX as the permissions can become changed when installing software or if cocktail changes it locking you out of folders etc.

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 Setup Mistake (Clicked on "provide a serial number")

    Hi everyone,
    The instructions for installing Adobe Illustrator CS5 told me to to chose the option "Install this product as a trial" instead of "Provide a serial number" when I get to the "Enter a Serial Number" step.  I don't know why I was so stupid I clicked on "Provide a serial number" and entered the code.  After that, it said that it was invalid, but I was able to open Adobe Illustrator only two times until it made me get a 30 day trial.  My mom bought it for me, though...
    How do I fix this mistake? I don't want my mom to have to pay for another Adobe Illustrator....for now I'll just install the trial.
    Thanks!

    Serial number issues are best worked out by calling support by phone.

  • Illustrator CS5 Mac OS X 10.6.7 terribly slow

    Hello,
    I have an iMac 27", Intel I7, 8 GB of RAM and use Mac OS 10.6.7.
    Using Illustrator CS5 on my machine is not really fun since it is slow, cannot work fluently.
    I designed a simple A6 page double sided. Using the hand-tool to move inside a zoomed view is terribly slow.
    The screen is updated not real time but only arround once per second.
    Every few minutes I save my changes to prevent any loss (e.g. AI crahses, Mac OS X crashes etc.).
    But thsi is also very slow, it takes arround one minute ore more.
    My drawing just consists of a logo, a background object (using an effekt), and a few images (already sized down in PhotoShop).
    But as I told you, it is really slow. One more: If I scale the background square (that one with the effect), Illustrator starts to recalculate the effect, which is again, slow, slow, slow! May I should mention that I use arround 1200 fonts, is this a problem?
    I heared that since OS X this should be not a problem. If yes what can I do (I really need lots of fonts)?
    I already read the Adobe help to improve performance in OS X and Illustrator, but on my machine everything is already done, still slow.
    Just to let you know, on same Mac I have a virtual machine using Parallels. The machine consists of Windows 7 and Corel Garphics Suite X5.
    Corel works really fast.
    Is this typical that Illustator CS5 is slow on Mac? What can I do?
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Hello again,
    Thanks for sharing the file. I checked it out in Illustrator CS5 on my system,
    which has less memory and a lower-performance CPU than yours.
    Yes, you are using a lot of memory-intensive effects, but the zoom and
    pan performance on my system seemed fairly smooth, and I wouldn't
    say it was sluggish. In fact, it seems pretty usable for a 66 MB file, at
    least as far as I could see.
    I did notice a few things you might want to check on your end:
    You are linking to several image files. I can see the preview images but obviously not the originals at this end. (That's OK for now.) The link to the black-and-white photo of the old car is apparently referencing an unusual location. You might want to confirm in the Links palette that the file ("2BJWW1.tif") is linking to the correct original file at the proper location by relinking the file. (It might be a good idea to have all of your assets in the same folder as well, for organizational purposes.)
    The composite effects that you use on the "Bei Vorlage..." message at the bottom of artboard 2, "Rückseite" seems a bit complex and slow to render, and could be rasterized to display faster. Select the object, choose "Object - Rasterize" from the menu bar and set the options as necessary. (Actually, I'm not sure if this will have a great impact, but you could try it and see.) If you use this option, be sure to (a) keep your original object, preferably in a separate file; and (b) rasterize at the PPI setting that you will be printing at.
    Likewise, the bottom "Hintergrund" layers could be rasterized as well. You're using the Sponge ("Schwamm") effect on artboards 1 and 2, which is fairly performance-intensive and requires a redraw whenever you touch other elements of the appearance. 
    Finally, I noticed you are using some unusual fonts, which is of course fine if the font files themselves are installed and working properly. As an experiment, try selecting all objects on the document and run the Type - Create Outlines command. (Do this on a copy of your file to be safe. You should be able to undo, however.) This will render all of the text as vectors, but it will also remove all dependencies of document to specific fonts. If this results in significant speed improvements, it's possible that you have some corrupt or incompletely installed fonts.
    As for the document raster effects settings, that is found under the Effect menu in CS5. (Perhaps you have a German version of AI... ?)
    Changing this to a lower number (like 72 dpi for screen) will not harm your document and may speed up performance (it only had a very
    small effect on my system, however), and you can always change it back to the original setting before sending it to the printer.
    Do you notice slowness in any other applications besides Illustrator?
    Also, is the file stored on your hard disk, or are you accessing the file from an external hard disk?
    Finally, have you changed the location of your scratch disk? Go to Illustrator - Preferences - Plug-ins and Scratch Disks.
    The default primary scratch disk should be your startup system drive.
    There are some other tips on optimizing performance as well in the following article:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403884.html
    They do mention using a font manager...
    Hope that some of these things help!

  • Placing Photoshop file in Illustrator CS5 - why doesn't it work?

    I frequently place Photoshop files into Illustrator CS3 without issue.... the PS file places right into the file with transparent surroundings.
    I just upgraded to CS5 and for some reason, I "Place" the Photoshop file, but nothing shows up in Illustrator.  I must not have a preference set correctly.
    Can you help?
    Thanks.

    Hi Matthew - thanks for taking the time to check this issue out for me.
    I have just uninstalled Illustrator CS5, because I need to get things done - and reverted back to CS3..... however, I did duplicate a file to demonstrate what I'm doing.
    I created a sample file with a very simple, non-descript  green vector shape.... then, In Photoshop, I created a yellow image that says Photoshop Placed File.  I gave it a dropshadow...
    I then went back to Illustrator and selected 'File/place'..... and selected the photoshop file described above.  I then placed it on top of the green vector image in Illustrator CS3 and it layed on top fine - with NO white box around it as a jpg would do.  PLUS, the black dropshadow fades nicely over whatever image color you place it upon.... it 'gradually' lets the vector color below it show through as the fade diminishes to 0%.
    NOW - I tried to 'place' a file into Illustrator CS5 in this same manner.... and I get absolutely nothing!  The Raster photoshop image doesn't even show up in Illustrator CS5.  This is where I was at when I started the topic.
    Any ideas??

  • Illustrator CS5 is running very slow

    I've recently upgraded to Illustrator CS5.1 on Lion OSX [version 10.7.2]. It was running fine for the first few days, but recently it's been operating painfully slow. Every time I want to do pretty much any action, from selecting to ink dropping, it takes a few seconds to process, getting the spinning colorwheel for a couple seconds every time. I'm running on 6GB of RAM, and I've tried some of the optimizing tricks like closing the appearance window, and running only Illustrator with the one file window open, but nothing's working. It's so difficult to get any work done this way, I would appreciate any help!

  • Saving Workspaces in Illustrator CS5

    I am currently running Mac OS 10.6.3 and Illustrator CS5. Every time I change the workspace and save it, it is nowhere to be found let alone loaded. Any solutions?

    Saved workspace file can be found @ "<Curent User>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_US/Workspaces".
    If you are not finding the saved workspace here and in Windows->Workspace menu of illustrator then try deleting preferences and then launch illustrator.

  • Illustrator CS5 automatically switching monitors

    Hello,
    I am running Illustrator CS5 on Windows 7 64 with dual monitors and my problem is that every time I open Illustrator it starts on the main monitor to the left.  All of the other CS5 applications remember where they start and stay there.  If I move Illustrator to the other monitor (right) and start a new file the application switches back to the other monitor automatically (left).  If I then switch it back (right) and start working it will automatically switch monitors again (left).  I have a Wacom tablet mapped to the monitor on my right and I can't seem to keep the application there.  Photoshop CS5, Fireworks CS5 and even Illustrator CS4 handle this fine and stay on my monitor to the right.  It has made it unusable if I need to to work with my tablet.  Please help.

  • Copy graphs to Adobe Illustrator CS5

    Hi there,
    I am processing some graphs generated using a Genomics software in Adobe Illustrator CS5 (AI). However, if I directly copy and paste/transfer JMP graph to AI, it generates an error message displaying “Can’t paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large”. I then first copy graph to MS PowerPoint (PPT) and from there copy it to AI. In PPT also, if I copy graph in the JMP recommended way (i.e. as an emf or wmf) and then copy it to AI, it generates the same error message. So, I just paste in PPT as a normal copy and paste, and then copy and paste it to AI. In this manner the error message is not generated but the graph quality is reduced considerably. Could anyone please suggest some solution to this?
    Regards,
    Sanjeev

    I was having this problem in CC. The message I was getting when trying to paste a graph from Excel > Illustrator was "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large."
    SOLUTION:
    1. Copy the Excel graph.
    2. Paste into INDESIGN
    3. It will be pasted in as an image, but do not fret
    4. Copy the image
    5. Now paste into Illustrator, voila. Vector graphics and live text.
    I don't how this works or why I even tried, but it does.

    Have used Illustrator CS5 for months. now suddenly it won't work- says "insufficient memory to run application". Lenovo w700, windows vista. Illustrator CS4 works, Photoshop CS5 works, everything else is working fine, in fact they all get loaded together.
    I found no solutions on the community board.
    Can I remove Ill. CS5 without damaging  CS4, and then reinstall CS5?  And if so, then how do I reinstall it?
    This is not fun.

    Nope, it opens a tiny little window, plus opening the floating tool menu
    This time I did not use the desktop short cut, but used what should be the exec icon under program files, expanded the window and it worked!
