Is the Trial Version a Trap?

I have installed the trial version of iwork 09 and registered it with Apple. The new features are nice but I am not sure if my usage justifies spending another 70 € so soon after having purchased iwork 08 in November.
The problem now is that even having saved my life´s work using "save as" as directed by a popup box, subsequent trying to open the file in numbers 08 gives an error message that "xml index file is not available".
Does this mean that I am now obliged to buy iwork 09 to get back my information and is the trial version a trap for the unwary?

Thanks for that information. It seems Apple has taken the same approach as the previous upgrade. It wouldn't be so bad if it recognised, or there was an option to say it is a previous iWork version document so it saves it as such when you save. Currently you have to go to save as and then you can't save as the current file name as your open file because it is already open! It is all a bit cumbersome. What would be nice is an intelligent file format that transparently saves in a format that makes it possible to open it in any version of iwork though I suppose that would require an update to previous versions when new ones come out to take into account the new features etc.

On my new Imac, I had the trial version of Pages, and saved some files in it. Now I have purchased the full version from Apple via a download, but I cannot save or print the old files, please help!

On my new Imac I saved some files on the free trial version of Pages, since downloading the full version from Apple, have been unable to save or print from old files saved when using the trial version. Any ideas? Thank you!

My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

Can I download the trial version of photoshop and use it as the full version with my serial number?

I have photoshop 6.0 on my current computer, I got in in college 4 years ago and the disc subsequently came to a tragic end after a collision with my dogs teeth T_T I still have the serial number though. My problem is I've just bought a new computer and I was told that to transfer photoshop to my new computer I had to deactivate it on my old computer and then download the trial version using the original serial number. Will this work?

Is this Photoshop Elements 6 or Photoshop 6? Either way this would not be the current version so it will be difficult to obtain the installation files as we only offer replacement media for the current version. If you have your serial number though you will qualify for upgrade pricing. For additional details please review http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

How do I add my serial number to the trial version?

How do I add my serial number to the trial version?
Downloaded the trial version of CS6, purchased it, and now I'm trying to add the serial number, but don't know where to enter it.

On the Trial page , where it shows "x" days left.
On bottom you will find a button "License this software " , click on that and follow the onscreen instruction.

Can we connect from Portal to MaxDB with the trial version of SAPNetWeaver?

Ive installed SAP NetWeaver Developer Workplace SR2 (trial version) with the following components:
     SAP Web Application Server Java 7.00 (J2EE Engine)
     MaxDB 7.6.00.34 database + Database Manager and SQL Studio
     SAP Enterprise Portal
     SAP Content Management and Collaboration
     Adobe Document Services
     BI SDK
     Visual Composer
     Composite Application Framework (CAF)
Now, I created new TEST database in MaxDB (user: DBADMIN, pass: abcd).
I want to connect from the Portal to the TEST Database, so I follow the steps described in the documents (How To Configured BI JDBC Connector, .)
- I log on Visual Administrator, create BI JDBC Connector, create new DataSource.
Now, I can get the Data from TEST Database.
- I log on Portal and create new BI JDBC System,
+ Driver: com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB,
+ Connection URL: jdbc:sapdb://sapep/test
- Then, I create system alias, map user with the user in Test Database (User: DBADMIN. Pass: ABCD)
But when testing the connection, Ive an error:
<b>Connection failed. Make sure user mapping is set correctly and all connection properties are correct.</b>
When I test the connection by the link:
http://sapep:50000/TestJDBC_Web/TestJDBCPage.jsp
Ive an error:
<b>com.sap.ip.bi.sdk.exception.BIConnectionFailedException: Cannot open the connection
Exception id: [0008C72B8B0C00C60000006F0000114000042C18596CD779]</b>
Could you please show me how to resolved this problem ?
I dont know if it is caused by the trial version ?
Thank you very much.

Hi Tweety,
I assume that you have create the driver with the required .jar files.
supose its name is MAX_DB
After that go to "Connector Container" in visual admin. To create a new connector,
select the connector SDK_JDBC and click the clone button to create a new BI JDBC connector and enter a name for the connector eg., SDK_MAXDB
Selct the recently created connector and choose the resource Adapter tab. click the add button to assiciate addtional resources the Connector
To add resource, enter the name as "library:MAX_DB".save the changes and restart the server.
Now in the portal there is a property "ConnectionFactory" set this to "SDK_MAXDB".
Now u have said that u have set the values for Driver and Url as
+ Driver: com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB,
+ Connection URL: jdbc:sapdb://sapep/test
the value for driver is correct but the value for connection URL is wrong.
Connection URL: jdbc:sapdb://<Machine_name>:<Port>/<Databse_name>
Now i dont what is the port no for MaxDB. as for SQL its 1433, for oracle it is 1521, for netezza it is 5480. U can get it from ur system adm or from net.
As u have not mentioned the port thats u r facing the problem.

I am unable to download the trial version of Adobe After Effects.

I am trying to download the trial version of After Effects for testing. I downloaded Edge animate from the cloud several months ago with no probelem. Safari says it can not open the address. Is this a firewall issue? I am trying to convince my boss to allow me to subscribe to the creative cloud but so far this is not helping running into to techical difficulties this early in the process. Thanks for any response.
UPDATE: I uninstalled and then reinstalled the Creative Cloud download app. It seems to have downloaded and installed fine but when I go to download a trial app nothing happens, nor do I know what to do. The creative cload window opens in my mac and that's all. Any suggestions.
I have also noticed the CC icon on the top title bar of my mac remains dim, don't know if that is an issue. The only options it gives me is Help, Open as window and Close Creative Cloud. What gives?
Thanks for any responses.

We being a state agency, we have many security measures in place on our servers. It seems that all IT had to do was make an addition to our proxy. Problem solved. Everything downloaded fine and is working great. Now the fun/work begins.

I have bought a new computer and would like to transfer my AI program from the old to the new... I have the trial version on the new computer, but cannot seem to get Adobe to accept my serial number. Says it is invalid.

I have a new computer. I purchased Adobe Illustrator on the old one and now want to have it on my new computer. I downloaded the trial version of AI. How do I go about putting my serial number into AI trial to keep the product?

How to activate the trial version of lightroom 3

Hello,
I am new here and need some help.
I have downloaded the trial version of lightroom 3 in my home windows computer and like it very much. I have then proceeded to purchase a box copy which will only arrive after two weeks. However i do not plan to install it on my home computer but my new imac computer at my office where i will do all my photo editing.
My problem is i cannot wait for two weeks for the product to arrive. Can i download another trial version for my new imac in my office and when the box product comes can i just use the serial number and activate the trial version or do i have to uninstall the trial version and reinstall again. According to my seller she says that i cant do this because i need to reinstall the box product again which sounds weird to me.
My other question is the earlier trial version that i installed in my home computer, i dont plan to use it anymore, so can i just ignore it?
Thanks in advance.

Importing photos puts information for each one into the LR catalog, which is just a database that LR knows how to read and write. Reopening the catalog with a new install of LR would tell LR where each of those photos is, and what adjustments you'd made. You don't have to reimport as long as you reopen the same catalog file with the new install. You could try this on Windows: uninstall-reinstall-reopen, and see how it works to get comfortable with it. You only have to reimport if you lose your catalog, and have to start a new one. If you write the metadata to files, either automatically via a preference, or manually via the Metadata menu item and grid mode, then you can even have your adjustments intact if you have to reimport, but you'll lose your history and other things that are only in the catalog and not in the XMP sidecar files. These sidecar files is probably the only way to transfer edits from the PC version to the Mac version of LR which you probably hadn't considered. At least I don't think you can copy the LR catalog file from a PC and open it on a Mac.
If the LR trial expires before you have a serial number then you can't use it, but once you do enter in the serial number, you can pick up where you left off.
Lightroom isn't activated like Photoshop where there is a Adobe-server record of each computer and serial number. LR is just either an unregistered-trial, an expired-trial or registered. LR is smart enough to understand if you've installed it on the computer, before, so you can't extend a trial by uninstalling and re-installing w/o reformatting your HD and reinstalling the OS, or at least I think that is enough.

How do I install Cs3 from disk, after trashing the trial version?

I've made the mistake of trashing the trial version of Cs3 that I had on my imac a few years ago.
Now I'd like to install photoshop cs3 on my imac as my other computer is out dated and I get the error message that CS3 is conflicting with CS3 on the computer.
I realise it was a mistake to trash the trial. Is there anything I can do?

Download the cleaner tool from the following location and select "CS3" from the pop-up menu. http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
It will show you all CS3 products installed on your machine and will also allow you to remove them selectively. Select the trial build and click "Cleanup".
Or if you have no other CS3 or CS4 application installed on your machine you can just click "Clean All CS3/CS4" to clean your machine.
Then try to install Photoshop CS3.

Have Creative Cloud - Cannot get off the trial versions of InDesign and Photoshop

Windows 8
64-bit operating system, x64-bit based processor
Downloaded and installed trial version of InDesign CS6 (three days left on trial)
Purchased Creative Cloud two days ago
Downloaded and installed Photoshop CS6 (loads as a trial version)
When clicking on Registration number, get error message “not connected to Internet”
Live chat instructed to uninstall both InDesign and Photoshop and download again.
Cancelled Cloud
Next day phone rep spent ½ hour trying to get it to work. Said it would all work and helped me re-purchase Cloud – received email confirmation.
Phone rep passed me on to someone who was supposed to give me a registration number. Spent another ½ hour doing the exact same thing. Was told there are no registration numbers in Cloud. Wanted to pass me off to another support department – I declined.
Received email today:
“Your Creative Cloud membership will be transitioned to a Free membership at the end of the next billing period. This means you will lose access to many of the apps and services included with a Paid Creative Cloud membership.
In addition, since Free membership offers only 2GB of storage, you may need to remove files to get your cloud storage down to 2GB (or to purchase additional storage separately if you choose). If you leave more than 2GB of files on Creative Cloud for more than 90 days, you may lose access to some or all of your files. If you decide you want to return to a Paid membership, update your payment information and desired plan on the account management page.
If you need help or have any questions, contact Customer Support.
Thanks and enjoy,
The Adobe Creative Cloud Team”

How can I download the trial version of Photoshop Elements on Windows Vista?

I am eager to try out the trial version of Photoshop Elements 7.0-however I can’t download it! I get to 99% downloaded and then get a fatal error telling me that there are integrity check problems. I am using Windows Vista. I have also tried removing and downloading it again but this hasn’t worked. Does anyone know what I should do?

How do I get rid of the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

I downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, and now my trial is over. I can no longer view any .pdf files on my computer--every time I download a .pdf file it just takes me to this site and tries to get me to buy the product. I tried to uninstall this program, and when I do it says, "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transforms are valid." Please help me get rid of this so that I can re-install Adobe Reader so that I can view my own files!

When I go to remove it, it says, "Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transforms are valid" & will not let me remove it. Do you know of anything else I could try?
