Install full version over TN Windows 8.1 Enterprise RTM‏

Hi 
I have installed and setup the TN Windows 8.1 Enterprise RTM‏ evaluation and will now proceed to purchase a full version via our home working business portal. Do I have to do a fresh install with the full version and then re-install all drivers etc
or is there a way to run a repair install using the full version and keeping the files/drivers etc? Or can I use my licence key to turn the evaluation into a full version
Thanks

Hi!
It is possible to install the "new" OS over the other one, it requires some changes in the csversion.ini though, but it's possible.
I allways recomend doing a fresh install since the chanses for corrupt drivers and system files are quite high.
So if you have the possibility, I would backup all files and do a fresh install, then copy the backed up files back to it's original location.
!!!The following part is not supported by Microsoft or any one else and it might ressult in disaster!!!
On the DVD or ISO, there is a file called csversion.ini.
This file tells which minimum version that can be uppgraded when booting the ISO.
So if you change the values under [Host Build] to 7100.0 instead of the original values, you are able to upgrade your OS.
But as I've mentioned, this is not supported in any way and might ressult in disaster!
Best regards

  • Windows version mis-match for Install.WIM, shows it as "Windows 8.1 Enterprise"

    The 9926.0.150119-1648.FBL_AWESOME1501_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US.ISO downloaded from Microsoft's server is showing the wrong version when I import it into MDT 2013.
    I thought maybe MDT 2013 was reading the WIM file wrong, so I checked it myself and it showed the Install.WIM as "Windows 8.1 Enterprise".
    I've redownloaded it twice since first noticing and still see the same version.

  • Problems with Install: Full Version / Full - JDK

    It's been a long day but ...
    Trying to install both the full version and full -JDK. Both extracts contain several duplicate file versions some with same date/time, others different file sizes and date/time stamps.
    The creation of the folder: sqldeveloper per the Install Instructions below doesn't happen:
    Unzipping the SQL Developer kit causes a folder named sqldeveloper to be created under the <sqldeveloper_install> folder (for example, C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper). It also causes many files and folders to be placed in and under that directory.
    I get a little wild and run sqldeveloper.exe from the extract <sqldeveloper_install> folder (since the other one didn't get created) and all I get is a flash of a DOS window like something is trying to work.
    Help?
    Thank you in advance!

    First of all, even on windows you only need one download - the 65MB one if you don't have an existing JDK 1.5 install or the 38MB one if you do (if you are unsure, I would suggest the larger option). It is a bit worrying that there are "matching" files in both with different sizes/timestamps but so long as you stick to a single zip file, that shouldn't matter.
    I would suggest that you blow away your existing <sqldeveloper_install> folder and start again with either the SQL Developer including JDK 1.5 (65MB) or the SQL Developer without JDK 1.5 (38MB), whichever is appropriate for you.
    Given the structure of the zip file contents, if you want your <sqldeveloper_install> folder to be C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, extract the zip file to C:\Program Files (if you extract to C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper, your install folder ends up being C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper).
    Then, as you tried previously, the <sqldeveloper_install>\sqldeveloper.exe should start SQL Developer.

  • Had a trial version, now trying to install full version from disk and won't work

    I am now trying to install a full version of Aperture 3.0 from a disk after having a trial version downloaded a few months ago.  Everything goes fine until I click on the icon after installation.  A box comes up asking for serial number to upgrade the trial version, but says that it is invalid after I enter it.  Product was purchased directly from Apple, so it is a valid disk.  I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version.  What else should/can I do to get this to work?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    I have deleted all the accompanied files that I can find that were on the computer prior to having the full version.
    Did you deinstall all of the files mentioned here?
    Re: Aperture Removed...still wants to update
    And afterwards open a terminal window (the Terminal is in Applications -> Utilities)
    and type the following command:
           sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.Aperture
    You will need to enter your admin password.
    Then try again to install your boxed Aperture 3 version.
    Good Luck

  • Installing full version of LR4; do i need to uninstall LR3.6?

    I am running Lightroom 3.6 on my desktop (Windows Vista) and my laptop (Windows 8).  Do I need to uninstall 3.6 before installing the full version of LR4? (I purchased the full version not the upgrade.)  If I save my catalog will I be able to open it in LR4? 
    Thank you for your help!
    Cheryl

    No, you don't need to uninstall earlier versions of Lightroom.
    Your LR3 catalog will convert (the technical term is "upgrade") to LR4 (actually, a copy will be converted, your LR3 catalog remains untouched)

  • Installing full 10g over oracle 10g ex

    i currently have oracle 10express edition installed on my windows 2003 r2 server. i am wanting to uninstall this and then install the full version of oracle 10g. what all should i do to make this happen? i have tried to uninstall oracle 10g from a sytem once before and ran into many issues getting it completely uninstalled. i want to make sure that if i uninstall the oracle 10g express edition that everything gets uninstalled from it, and there will be no complications once i install the full 10g database.
    any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.

    The uninstall of 10g Express edition should work correctly. I have done this without issue. Worst case is if you have problems, and no other oracle installations exist on the box we could try to remove the oraInventory but this is generally not recommended. My first thought is to try the uninstall, who knows if you will have issues until you have tried.

    Not a lot of documentation on that one, I'm afraid, but there's some general principles troubleshooting we can try with it that might get us moving forwards.
    (1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
    [Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
    Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
    (2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

  • Two Questions, uninsall trail version, and then install full version that we downloaded

    Hi all, I need to uninstall "trail" verision on one computer, there is only a few apps that we tried out, but I know it good idea to uninstall them first. I then need to download and install a verision that wil bought that is full version, but was downloaded. When I log in on other mac,  i cannot find my paid version to download. Also the paid  verision is already intstalled on other computer. I can't seem to find the .dmg file on "paid install, Is there a way to copy to flash drive to intalll? I have pretty slow internet. I'm a newbie to adobe, so any help would be appreciated. I followed instruction I found for uninstalling, said to go to apps folded click on program and following instructions, I seem I'm missing something, because it just opens application. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Gerald Hetirck

    There is no requirement to uninstall trial versions - they all can be activated by inputting the serial numbers or signing into CCApp. The rest isn't really clear since you didn't say anything about what product(s) you actually bought.

  • Unable to install Full version of Tiger 10.4 or even any part of it!

    eMac 1.25G 256Mb 80G Combo
    Ok. Now that I have a full version of Tiger. I am unable to install it. Have done first aid several times to the drive. Done the one pass of Zero's as well as verified the drive. I have tried the installation approx 7x. It would hang up at different points. 2x i got the Black screen with the 6 different Languages to restart the system. Using Apple Mouse and Keyboard. Oh, and pulling out my hair does not help at all with it working either, i know it now, I did it!!
    Thanks for your help..
    Bruce

    Another possibility: could the 256 MB RAM chip be bad? Faults in just a few memory locations could cause problems during install. Usually, if RAM were suspect, I'd suggest using Memtest in single-user mode, but that's not workable in this case, where there's no OS on the hard drive. Since the odds of happening to have a known-good DDR PC2700 memory chip lying about aren't high, you can at least try pulling the RAM that's in the eMac now, cleaning the connectors, and re-seating the ship, in either the current slot or the other one. There's a small but non-zero chance that the RAM is slightly loose in the slot, and reseating ould help. RAM installation instructions are at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.

  • Uninstall-Install Full Version DW on Mac

    ISSUE: After attempting to uninstall trial version of
    Dreamweaver, I cannot install purchased full version of Dreamweaver
    CS3 because error message says:
    Already Installed. There are no obvious files left.
    Preferences folder has been deleted, too.
    DETAILS: Prior to purchasing the full version of Dreamweaver
    CS3, I downloaded the trial version to make sure it would work on
    my Mac. It was an incredible program. I purchased Dreamweaver CS3
    as part of the Adobe Master Collection. The installation process
    for the Master Collection was very simple. When it came time for
    the Dreamweaver portion of the installation, I was alerted that the
    installation could not be completed until the trial version of
    Dreamweaver was deleted. Being relatively new to the Mac OS, I
    called Adobe Tech Support to find out how to delete the trial
    version. I was advised that deleting programs on the Mac is as
    simple as dragging the folder to the trash. I dragged the
    executable file to the trash, and they said that should be it. I
    emptied the trash, restarted the computer, and then attempted to
    complete the installation process. Same error, it says Dreamweaver
    is already installed. I did a search for any files or folders with
    the word "dream" in it, and deleted those that appeared to relate
    to Dreamweaver. Dumped trash, restart, attempt to install - same
    problem, Dreamweaver is already installed.
    I cannot find any remnants of the trial Dreamweaver, and I
    still can't install the purchased version! I have called Adobe Tech
    Support on four different occasions and each time, I have been
    transferred from one person to the next, each one not familiar with
    the Mac.
    I bought the Master Collection so I could have Dreamweaver,
    and now it's the only thing I can't use!
    I have combed the internet for suggestions on how to fix
    this. I have found detailed lists here in Adobe support files that
    list each file used by Dreamweaver that must be deleted. I deleted
    each folder, file, etc. There doesn't appear to be anything left,
    but I still can't install. I can't use the installer program
    because it was one of the things that got deleted! The Master
    Collection's installer won't install, uninstall, or repair the
    trial version.
    I'm stuck. Any suggestions?

    On the Mac, DO NOT drag applications to the trash to
    uninstall them. To
    safely uninstall software, double-click
    the product installer in Applications/Utilities/Adobe
    Installers.
    Authenticate as an administrator, then select
    Remove Components and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • Issues installing full version of 5 side by side with 4?

    To avoid potential issues, I'd like to install the full version of Captivate 5 side by side with Captivate 4,
    This allows me to avoid upgrading existing courses written in 4, when changes need to be made.
    New courses will be created in 5.
    Are there any issues getting both to work side by side?
    In other programs, I've encoutered errors when different versions of the same program are installed
    due to shared code or interactions with other progs.  One or the other suffers. Will I encounter similiar issues?
    ( I'm aware that once a captivate file is in 5 format, it can't be openned in 4.)
    Thanks for your reply
    -Joan

    Hi Joan,
    I have both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 installed on my laptop(XP SP3) and they both seem to work without any issues. So i would say go ahead ....

  • Lost Serialized Insert from PC Ultimate Software Suite-Cannot Install Full Version of Photoshop Elements 12

    I purchased a Dell Inspiron laptop which was bundled with PC Ultimate Software Suite, a collection of programs on one disc. It included Adobe Photoshop Elements 12, but I misplaced the insert that contained the serial key. I still have the sleeve that the CD was bundled with, as well as the CD itself. Is there anyway I can still download the full version of Photoshop Elements 12 without having to buy the program separately or buying Software Suite again?

    If Dell provided the bundle you should contact Dell to see about getting a replacement or the serial for the disk.

  • Firefox stuck in endless loop asking to restart to finish previous update but does nothing. Can uninstall or install newer version over it. I believe the setup files were erased before reboot by another installer. How do i fix this?

    Anything i try related to firefix gets "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox" I have tried rebooting no luck, i have tired uninstalling from add remove programs or installing 4.0 over it. At the time I was try to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.6.15. I tried searching for the xpicleanup.dat file but no luck there.
    Any suggestions to get firefox back up and running

    I was having the same problem, so I deleted 'firefox.exe.moz-upgrade' from 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox' directory, as recommended. Now it no longer says it needs a restart to complete a previous installation. It says it needs a restart to complete a previous uninstall. What do I do now? Help!

  • Problem in installing Oracle 9i R2 on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise

    We are having problem installing the Oracle 9i R2 Server on Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. During installation, it generates error saying "The IP Address of the machine not found". When clicking the "Continue" button, it tries to install other things but few minutes later it asks to stop complete installation or installation of that feature.
    But when we installed it on Windows XP it works fine and we have no problem in configuring it. What's the problem with Windows 2003 Server?
    If we drop the idea of installing it on Windows 2003 Server, can we make Windows XP maching as a Server?

    ORACLE asumes that the first network device you have on your server has a fixed IP address.
    Is this the case?
    If not so you should install a loopback adapter as network device with a fixed IP.
    Does this help?

  • Cannot install full version of Photoshop CC on second computer

    I purchased Photoshop and Lightroom CC and installed them on my MacBook Pro. It was my understanding that I'm allowed to activate my products on up to 2 machines. I downloaded Creative Cloud on my Windows 8 desktop and installed Photoshop and Lightroom, but both are installed as trial versions and asking for a serial number even though the Help menu shows me signed in with the account that I used to purchase my CC subscription. How do I activate the full, non-trial version on my second machine?
