InDesign CS6 thinks I am in Trial mode

I purchased a download version of InDesign CS6 on my laptop. I registered it online.
I then downloaded a version to my main Mac desktop. Now if I have to restart the software (eg: after a power outage) Adobe Application Manager asks me to 'Sign In Now' to register the software - if I select this I just get an ever spinning circle icon - and nothing happens. It says I am in Trial mode and have x number of days to use it before I have to register. When that time is up, I have to re-install the software.
I am extremely frustrated by the response at tech support.
Can anyone suggest something?
thanks

Why do my apps think they're in trial mode?

I've purchased a Creative Cloud subscription. I've activated it on all of my products. Everytime I launch an application it tells me I have a random number of days left on my trial (between 0 and 32567). I eventually get forced to sign in to creative cloud, sometimes five or six times. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling.

Hi TheInkGolem,
It doesn't look like you've activated the product yet. Are you getting the option to sign in with your Adobe ID using the "License This Software" button?
You might try the steps described here:

InDesign CS6 thinks every chapter in my book is Chapter 1

I created this document for a client more than a year ago, and he just now noticed a really odd bug in the last PDF rendered. Every chapter, starting with chapter 4, is being recognized as the first chapter. Previous PDF exports show all chapter numbers rendering correctly, but unfortunately I long ago overwrote the previous versions of the InDesign document. The attached screenshots should demonstrate the issue. The only changes made from the previous version to the new version were corrections to the text itself—minor punctuation issues, typographical errors, etc.—so I see no reason why this issue should be happening from one version to the next. Googling has so far gotten me nowhere. Does anyone have any idea what's going wrong?

Try to select all chapters on the book panel and from flyout arrow select update numbering>update all numbers, then from book page panel click on synchronize button.

Indesign CS6 hand tool gets stuck and can't use selection tool

In Indesign CS6 using Mountain Lion, the hand tool appears and I can't select or work with any other tool. All I can do is move the document around. After trying the space bar and other key commands I restarted and it worked for a while. Then it happened again. I work on a Macbook pro, so when I removed the mouse and worked only with the trackpad there was no change. When I quit and reopened, no change. I then deleted prefs and restarted and it worked, but it's been happening from time to time. Anyone know any other fix without restarting or deleting prefs.

Yes, this is an intermittent problem between Adobe and Apple: InDesign CS6 getting stuck in the hand mode. This happens to me when I am working by remote desktop using Screen Sharing. The cursor turns to a hand tool and you can't change it.
I stumbled upon a quicker solution (to restarting, etc.) by depressing the Control-Command-Spacebar keys cumulatively in succession. (I just happened upon this out of frustration--it is an old PageMaker toggle sequence.) When I clicked on the screen after doing this, the hand reverted to the pointer. Sometimes you may have to click on the pointer in the tool palette first before the sequence to make it revert.
I would like to see if this trick works for others. I see on another forum posting about Adobe CC that many people are experiencing this problem there as well. An Adobe moderator has listed the posting as "correctly answered" and solved that the issue is not an Adobe issue (rather bad keyboards, etc. etc.). But it still remains a problem with many Apple users of Adobe products. (It has only happened to me with Adobe products...no other vendors...both in Mavericks or Yosemite.)

Indesign CS6 trial version installation failling

Hi,
I'm trying to install a trial version of Adobe Indesign CS6 on a (2009) Mac mini 2.26 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram. The internal hard drive still has 18Gb free space that should be enough to install just indesign. I tried several times (after reboot, rebuild permissions, etc.), even in a new (admin) user that I created just to try the indesign installation, same error. Bellow I include the error summary log that the installer supplies after aborting the installation:

Anyone else with the same problem? How can I fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Is that the entire log? I suspect not. Please post the entire log on Pastebin.com and put a link here.
I'm not a Mac person, so my troubleshooting tips here will be pretty basic. The whole log may help some of our other regulars to identify where the problem is.
I'd run the cleanup tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) ro remove any traces of the failed attempts, then reboot to a minimal system -- not sure what it's called on Macs these days -- no extraneous extensions, but a step above safe mode, I think -- and try the installer again.

InDesign 10.2.0.69 (Enterprise) Reverts to Expired Trial Mode

Hello,
I've been using the Creative Cloud Packager with mostly success for distribution of CC 2014. I use an Enterprise serial number to get around having my users have individual Adobe ID's
However the latest update of InDesign, version 10.2.0.69 (or 2014.2), has a critical problem.
Upon installation it makes the entire CC Suite think that the entire suite requires a end-user paid login, and the trial has expired.
Any ideas?

I am having a very similar problem with the Mac version. However, one difference is that so far only InDesign reverts to trial mode. I have tried to re-serialize using both the older adobe_prtk tool (which has always worked previously for situations like this), and the newer tools (RemoveSerialization/AdobeSerialization) and neither work.
I have also built a standalone InDesign installer (using CCP 1.8) with all the latest patches, including the InDesign February 2015 update (10.2.0.069) and when installing that by itself onto a Mac where InDesign has already lost its serialization it also fails to be serialized. UPDATE: If I install this standalone package onto a fairly "clean" Mac IT FAILS AS WELL. I originally thought it worked because I had installed it on the same Mac that I have Creative Cloud Packager on. This gave me a false impression that it worked because I am signed in with an Adobe ID in order to use Creative Cloud Packager.
This is a very serious problem as we use serialization for licensing rather than Adobe ID's. This is also kind of frustrating that this seems to be a somewhat recurring issue with updates where at least a couple of times a year a Creative Cloud application update breaks serialization.

CS6 Design Standard , clone, migration tool, trial mode (urgence)

Hi all and sorry for this question.
I clone on a external disk my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.7) with Super Dumper .
Then i have istalled OSX 10.8.2 and imported all data and applications with the migration tool during the installation.
My problem is that now my CS6 Standard Edition Suite is in trial mode.
I have a Box CS6 Design Standard licence - i have to re-insert my serial number?
Why Apple Migration Assistant not transfer also the data of licence?
It is normal or it's clone that is bugged?
Many thanks.
F

Adobe applications should be installed, not migrated. I suggest the cleaner tool be used to uninstall all of it and then re-install the software properly.

How to resolve "Your Trial Has Expired" message when launching InDesign CS6

Hello, just joined the Creative Cloud via the "Free" option. The Adobe Application Manager downloaded and installed after which I was presented the list of Adobe Products which I could "Try" for the 30-day trial period. After installing InDesign CS6 for trial, I'm getting a "Your Trial has Expired" message when I launch InDesign C6.
My PC environment is: Windows 7 Pro - SP1 (x64 bit)
I do have Adobe Acrobat X installed (with Enfocus PitStop v10 plugin)
Any thoughts as to what is causing this error??
How do I resolve it??

Hi MickyRatz,
If the trial version indicates as being expired then it has expired. There is no way to extend the trial.
You can find more details at Adobe trial software expired early -http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/trial-software-expired-early .html.

InDesign CS6 trial version no longer working...

I have the trial version of InDesign CS6 installed. I was working in it last week and went in tonight and could not get in as the "continue trial" button was not available. I purchased a subscription however it said I needed to download InDesign CC. I am not able to download CC as it says InDesign does not support the current operating system. How is it that I was able to get in one week ago and now all of the sudden my operating system doesn't work?!

ID CC and CS6 are two different versions. You can use CS6 via Creative Cloud by installing it under the "Otehr Versions" link from the ID icon on the web page for your CC account. for your serialization and activation issues refer to this:

How do i download a trial version of indesign cs6

Hi all,
I am trying to download a trial version of InDesign CS6 but cannot find where to download it. The only option I find is InDesign CC, which I have no interest whatsoever. Does Adobe offer the CS version as a trial?
I need the trial version for Windows 8.1.

Downloads available:
Suites and Programs: CC 2014 | CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
Acrobat: XI, X | 9,8 | 9 standard
Premiere Elements: 12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7
Photoshop Elements: 12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7
Lightroom: 5.5 (win), 5.5 (mac) | 5 | 4 | 3
Captivate: 8 | 7 | 6 | 5
Contribute: CS5 | CS4, CS3
Download and installation help for Adobe links
Download and installation help for Prodesigntools links are listed on most linked pages. They are critical; especially steps 1, 2 and 3. If you click a link that does not have those steps listed, open a second window using the Lightroom 3 link to see those 'Important Instructions'.

Where can I get a trial version of Indesign CS6?

Can't save as 'eps' in Indesign cs6 trial.

I am trying to design a logo and I am using a trial version of Indesign cs6. However, it will not let me "save as" an eps file. It only allows 'indesign cc template", "indesign cc document" and "Indesign CS4 or later". How can I save my logo as an 'eps' on a transparent background so I can use it in the creation of my business card?

All the google help pages say that you can save an eps file on a transparent background
For example; http://smallbusiness.chron.com/create-eps-file-transparent-background-52652.html
But I don't have the option in my Indesign "save as" > "format" drop down menu. It is so frustrating.
I have been able to do it before, in Indesign cs6 on a PC.
When you save a logo as an 'eps' file you onle see the actual logo making it very easy and functional to work with when using the logo to create a design. When you save it as anythig else the logo appears on a white page. Like a letterhead. on a document.
