Indesign 30 day trial not working

Hi
I have downloaded the Indesign CS3 trial off the Adobe website.
When I select to use the trial it says problem encountered and then only gives the option of entering a serial number.
A few weeks ago I had the same problem with the Photoshop CS3 trial so I bought the programme only to find that the programme that I needed to design brochures was Indesign.
How do I get the trial to work - I will not be able to pony up the expense of another expensive programme this month and want to test it's capabilities as it sounds like it has the edge on Quark Express.
Some help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Nigel

In order for the trials to work they must be launched in the same user account from which they were installed -- that's part of the trial security.
Flexnet will show up if you go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services in one of two ways, either under its own name, or as something like ##ID_STRING followed by a bunch of numbers. I'm not certain it would be running with trials, but it must be started with regular versions. I'm not quite sure how Bonjour is used, but it is involved in activation, I believe, and a successful install of the regular version requires that it be able to run. I don't see it on my system in either task manager or services, so it may only run during installation.
Since you seem to have installed Photoshop successfully, you might want to try uninstalling the ID trial and reinstalling in the account where Photoshop is installed. Warning: I don't know what impact that will have on the ability to run ID, but the KB seems to indicate that you can uninstall and reinstall in the same location. Tampering with the system clock or any number of other things can kill the trials, so you might want to check with Adobe support before trying that.
I wish I could offer something more concrete, but I haven't used any of the trial versions. For what it's worth, I moved from Quark to ID in 2001 and never looked back. I find it much more efficient and a more powerful application, plus it integrates much better with the other Adobe components.
If you are buying two products, you might want to look at the Creative Suite packages. You get a much better deal.

Brand new 30 day trial not working

I bought the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Standard for an educator 2 days ago at the Apple Store when we bought our new iMac. Installed it last night and emailed the documentation to Adobe, knowing I could use the software with the 30 day trial and be ready for class on Monday and a proposal I have to do for work today. However, when I opened Acrobat today, it says I have 0 days of the trial left and need to enter the serial number.
Can I uninstall and reinstall? Adobe closed today and I need to alter a PDF document before Monday morning @ 7:00. Please help.

I just freshly installed the trial version of the Master Collection as well and at the first instance I tried opening a programme, it said I had 0 days left, and I haven't done anything to the mac except install the standard mac stuff, office for mac, and then download the CS5.5 trial from the adobe website and installed it within the past 12 hours =/. (My mac is fresh from the box..)
Is it a bug error or is adobe ending all trials early?
(I actually want to try OnLocation at a shoot today but I'm more worried about my macbook being incompatible with the collection so may need to be swapped for a higher level one at the moment.)

Why does my free trial not work?

Why does my free trial not work? This is intentially misleading.

You need to provide a better description of what isn't working, system info and all that. This could be all sorts of technical issues or your trial could simply have bombed itself. In the latter case there is nothing you can do:
Adobe trial software expired early
Anything else like iunstall issues can in most cases be sorted out...

Iphone 5 is 1 day camera not working shutter frozen.

My iphone 5 is 1 day camera not working shutter frozen, and i try restore restart but not use. now I took it to my carrier and now I have to wait 14 days to have my phone ,I feel bad about this.

That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.

Install of 30 day Photoshop trial not working, help!

Hi,
I'm trying to install and use the 30 day trial of Photoshop... The download and install seemed to go smoothly, but now when I click on the "ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE" icon on the desktop, it does the whole 'extracting files' thing then check the box for "Launch Adobe Photoshop CS3", nothing happens. I've tried it several times, and have re-started my computer but still it won't work.
I'm using a Dell Inspiron with 3GB RAM, running Vista Home Premium.
Hope someone can help..
Thanks,
Caitlin

well caitlin i will go further and say i down loaded CS3 some 3 times and yes no luck in getting passed extracting the files. i have even purchased a trial CD still no luck. i have windows vista buisness.
As far as adobe are concerned it is only a trial and not worthy of there help. i have not found an answer as yet or got any response from adobe or help, and here we are bothe looking to possibly purchase software which in the uk costs £1000 +.
It beats me how a company like adobe hopes to encourage people like myself to upgrade from photoshop elements 6 to CS3.
if you get the download to work please let me know how you did it.

Free Trial Not Working

I have used InDesign in the past, paying on a month to month plan, and I am in need of the program again for another several months or so. When logging into my Adobe account to renew my license I saw offers for a 30 day free trial so I followed the link and downloaded the newest InDesign CC (2014) to use the trial. When I try to open the program it says that I need to renew my subscription, my subscription has expired, etc. Under the subscription management page for my Creative Cloud Free membership it says I have access to 30 day free trials for all products, so I believe I should have free access to InDesign. I downloaded the trial yesterday evening, so it has been about 12 hours, in case there is a gestation period for this thing to work itself out.
Anyway, am I ineligible for the trial since I have paid for the service before? Is there someone from Adobe who can sort this out and either get me the 30-day trial or say I am ineligible? I will be needing InDesign for the next several months, so regardless of whether I have a trial or not, I will be paying in the immediate future, but I would certainly prefer to save the $30 now if possible.
Thanks.

Jeffrey Socher if the trial is being detected as previously utilized then you will want to evaluate InDesign on a different computer or utilize an active membership. There is no way to reset the trial process. You can find additional details at Adobe trial software expired early.

Why has my InDesign 90 day trial "expired" after 20 hours?

Hi wondering if anyone could help me out here...
Last night I downloaded the free 90 day trial of Adobe InDesign and it worked perfectly fine for a few hours.
I woke up today and wanted to get started on my thesis which requires InDesign and my creative account is telling me that my trial has expired....
Any reason as to why this has happened and how do I go about fixing it?
Many thanks
Dan

Sorry, must have got it wrong then, you're right it should just be a 30 day trial.
I used this link: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=indesign_server which gave me InDesign version 9.0 and I am using Windows.
Is there a way of fixing it, or will I have to redownload InDesign on a different account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic app and then re-downloading the app from the app store.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device.

HT201412 this is all polog how can I reset if now respond on my touch screen at all I was a very happy costumer on iPad 1 but this is just waste of money 5 Days and not working already

eader 1
Header 2
I am very upset with all this, a buy a unit to work and not having to go through hundreds of steps till I maybe get help, because I need help now and fast
my nice little toy is ready to fall out of my window broken after 5 Day's don't tell me i can change, i buy to work with not to bring in shop. i waited after my first
iPad and didn't buy number two for my girlfriend 1 and 2 no problem now i buy for me number 3 sheet... 5 Day's no touchscreen.....
Since i gave number one to my father i am in big problem now i am going on the road in 3 houres and can not work,
If i rest on my desktop all my data or gone , don't tell me back up on cloud done before and all mixed up came back include lost date so tell me something I can to in the next 30 Min since i have to sleep as well

From what you've written I'm not entirely sure what your actual problem is, but if it's that the touchscreen isn't responding then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Help! InDesign interactive PDF buttons not working in Safari or on iPad

I made an infographic in Indesign for our university magazine with a QR code to link to an interactive pdf. Nothing too complicated animation wise, simply buttons that you can click on to view different parts of the graphic. However, the buttons are not working at all in Safari and on the iPhone and iPad, the buttons disapear completley. Please help.

Thanks,
Gretchen

Whether buttons work correctly in a PDF file depend entirely on what PDF reader you're using. Here are a couple of important facts:
* While corrected created interactive PDFs will display correctly in the FREE Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat, they probably won't display correctly in Apple's Preview application which is probably what you're viewing in Safari.
* None of the PDF readers currently available on an iPad (e.g., iBooks, GoodReader, etc.) correctly handle interactivity like buttons on an iPad.

InDesign CC Shift Key not working

Normally I'd just hold the shift key down to resize an image or object in InDesign CC to constrain its proportions. Lately when I try to resize an image, the shift key doesn't do anything anymore. It no longer holds the proportions of the image box. Is there a way to fix this problem or is there a new tool that replaces the hot key shortcut? Transform > Scale is taking way too much time to resize an image to the proper size I need it to be.
Any and all help is very appreciated.
-Jon

I was having this problem as well, within indesign CC 2014 only, not photoshop or illustrator. Virus or firewall can interfere with key modifiers. I have webfoot virus software. When I turn it off temporarily the shift key constrains angles and draws straight lines again as usual. There may be a better workaround, but this works for me, though I have to turn the virus software off and on.
I have a laptop that I haven't installed webroot on yet and it runs the same version of indesign cc 2014 as my main mac… there was never an issue with the shift key on the laptop.
Good luck!

InDesign CC keyboard commands not working

I just discvered some crucial keyboard shortcuts not working today at my workstation:
1) Option + click and drag to create a copy (Plus, holding shift key at the same time to keep alignment in place.)
2) Command + Shift to resize a box and its contents.
Neither work. What is the cause of this and is there a solution to these issues?
