Iwork 06 trial version

i purchased ilife 06 which included a trial version of iworks 06. i have iworks 05 installed on my g5 with isight. i hesitated to install the trial version thinking it would somehow mess up my 05 version, but the instructions stated it wouldn't affect previously installed versions. now how do i get rid of the trial version? main problem is that if i put it in the trash, i can't read ppt downloads cause keynote 3 has set itself as the default reader/player for ppt. how do i reset 05 as my default program instead of 06 so that ppt automatically opens with keynote 2? oh, i tried to reinstall 05 with my cd, but it concluded that there was nothing to add, etc. many thanks

iWork06 was preloaded on my MBP, at least I thought it was. Turns out it was only the Trial Version. How deceiving is that?!
I bought iWork05 and installed it, but all my documents default to open with iWork06, even after I "change all" in the Info window, just like the originator of this discussion. I read the Discussion Group and know that I need to "Uninstall" iWork06. But, I can't figure out how to "Uninstall" an application in Tiger! OS Help doesn't help, neither does Pages Help, neither does Apple Support Website search engine! I figure that if I just drag the application icon to the Trash, remnants of the program will persist in the registry, or whatever you call it now, preferences, etc, and maybe it won't even allow me to reset the default application to iWork05 version.

How to uninstall iWork '09 (trial version) completely

I want to uninstall iWork '09 trial version completely. I deleted the folders, but there's something left with Mackeeper. Do I have to finish that Mackeeper thing?

hi Anselm
to get rid of the fragments of the broken installation, you just have to drop the directories 'SAP' and 'sapdb' and then run <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/softwaredownload?download=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/business_packages/a1-8-4/nw/regcleantools.rar">registry clean tool</a>.

Can't find iWork free trial version

Hi
I've been looking for the iWork free trial version download without success.
I found Aperture's.
TIA
Nick

Hi Kyn
Thanks for the tip. I installed it and could start evaluating it.
One of my issues is that the iMac display dimensions are non-standard and hence by default a presentation in PowerPoint of Keynote doesn't use the complete width. I found by chance the way to adapt the presentation proportions to the monitor.
Regards
Nick

Iwork 05 trial version and iwork 06 purchase failure.

Help. When I purchased my powerbook G4 it came with the trial version of iwork 05. After getting around to trying it and getting hooked I decided to purchase it. Well, all I could find was iwork 06. So I bought the code to unlock (not the disc version) and every time I put the code (copy and paste from confirmation e-mail) in I get the message that I have an invalid key. I've done the upgrades for iwork 05 and still get the invalid key error message. If anyone can provide assistance...

iWork '06 doesn't update iWork '05, they sit in separate folders (with the respective names) so you have to launch Pages or Keynote from the iWork '06 folder to get to the appropriate dialog for entering the key.
iWork '06 keys will definitely not be recognized by iWork '05 or vice versa, they seem to be totally different applications.
If you're still having trouble you might want to go to /Library/Preferences/ and delete the com.apple.iWork plist file. Also, when you copy and paste from the confirmation email you may want to make sure you're not getting additional characters. iWork is quite finicky about needing the dashes, and the right case (I think)

Cannot uninstall iwork 09 trial version

After trying iworks 09 I didn't buy it. I have already fixed the issues about accessing work I did during the trial time but now I have a different problem. Someone sent me a document and when I opened it in Numbers it appears in the 09 version. I receive the message that I can't save print or export until I activate the trial version. When I click on learn more I get the message my trial version is over. I have already dragged the trial version into the trash and I have emptied the trash so I would think new documents that I open from a third party should open in 08. This is frustrating, hope someone can help. I appreciate it.

Thank you fuzzydog. Your suggestions partially helped. I can write click and iwork 06 and iwork 08 are shown as my choices on where to open the document (no 09 lurking in the pop up menu) I can then successfully open in 08. When I don't right click and I just open it the usual way, it still opens in the 09 trial version and won't let me do anything with the document unless I purchase.
I download the easy find from the devon web site and what is found is only web history. From the boolean search there are sites but they deal with pirated iwork 09.
Others must be having this problem?? This trial version is driving me crazy that it won't go away. I agree it has to be somewhere or else it couldn't open a document but it seems to be only the web version. I've deleted history and the cache but that didn't work.
Sorry to be so problematic.

Why is the trial version of iWork '09 not accepting my boxed serial?

Recently my MBP crashed, which caused me to lose everything on there, including my iWork software.
My install disc is in another country and I won't be there for at least a few months. I have the serial number, but the trial version of iWork I downloaded doesn't seem to be taking it.
Then again, it says:
If you've purchased an iWork '09 box, install from the DVD and follow the onscreen instructions. If you purcharsed a serial number for iWork '09 from an Apple Online store, the serial number was emailed to you.
Does this mean that 'boxed serials' (not to be confused with boxed cereals) won't work on the downloaded trial version of iWork?

As Fruhulda wrote, there is no serial number for the in_a_box iWork '09 so what you wrote is inaccurate !
If you have a serial number, it's not related to the in_a_box iWork '09.
Are you sure that what you had is iWork '09 ?
If your serial number is one related to iWork '08, it's normal that it doesn't apply to the iWork '09 trial.
If it's that, you may get the iWork '08 trial on my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '08:iWork08Trial.dmg
I wish to add that before installing the in_a_box iWork '09, we must remove every files related to the trial version.
This is why I delivered an uninstall script.
Go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
expand it and run the script.

Using iwork '05 after using trial version of iwork '06

As a teacher, I do lots of lessons in Keynote 2.0.2 A 30 day trial version of iwork '06 (including an updated Keynote) came with my recent purchase of ilife '06. Now that the 30 days has expired, I can't open Keynote files I used during those 30 days. The message is: "The document was created with a later version of Keynote."
I had assumed that a trial version would not make my current files inaccessible. Can I convert these files back to Keynote 2.0.2 ?

You can't save back to K2 without having a working version of K3. If you were using K3 all along, then why don't you just buy it?

Iwork 9 Trial and converting to Full Version

Hi,
I recently downloaded and installed the iWork 9 Trial, I have then gone out and purchased the CD version of iWork, I then install the CD version to convert the trial to FV, when I am trying to run the program all the comes up is the box to either enter the cd key or buy the cd key online link. As I understand it there is no serial number with the CD version?
I have tried uninstalling iWork and reinstalling but I can't get around this. Each time the same thing comes up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Brendan

Where has the trial version of iWork 08 gone?

When iWork 08 came out, I downloaded the trial version of the software. Then, I bought a Serial Key Number. So far so good.
Recently, I wanted to install iWork on another Macbook, but lost the original
pkg or dmg (not sure which one it was). So I tried to download the trial version again and unlock it with the already bought key.
But on the site
http://www.apple.com/iwork/trial/
there is no link to the software anymore.
Where did it gone?

The link is right there with the graphic taking up the upper left of the page.

Decided not to buy iwork '09 after downloading trial version, now what?

I downloaded the trial version and decided it was not worth $80 (call me cheap, but I'm a student, thats a lot of money). Anyway, during the 30 day trial I created many documents (some over 100 pages). I thought I was saving them as pages 08 docs, but obviously I did something wrong because none of them will open in the 08 version.
While this is probably obvious to most, I have only recently switched to a mac. The only way I can edit/save is to open up the (read only) version in pages 09 and then copy/paste it to a new 08 document.
I have about 200 documents I created in the 09 version and the whole copy/paste routine would not bother me, except when I paste the text, the formatting gets so messed up. So, the question now is...if I were to delete the 09 version, what is going to happen to all of my documents?? Right now, I have to run both versions at the same time in order to find anything, clearly an inefficient system.
I am getting really frustrated and hope that someone can figure out what I am talking about. I never would have tried the trial version if I knew this would happen. I feel like apple is coercing me into purchasing their software.

Hi wmlaw2011,
Welcome to Pages '09 discussions.
If Badunit's suggestion doesn't work for you then you have two choices, purchase iWork '09 or, find someone that has iWork '09 then for all your files ask them to do File > Save as Pages '08.
Student from the beginning of time complained about finances however, they always found the money to do the important things that needed to be accomplish; parties, games, dates, eating out, shopping, etc.. So in my opinion $80 isn't a big deal

Why doesnt the DVD version of iworks work, after uploading (and then deleting) the trial version?

Check out this discussion in the iWork forum. Yvan's AppleScript (about 6 messages down) will solve your problem.

Cannot launch iWork trial version - receive message that it fails to mount"

I have a new iMac and have been trying to download the trial version of iWork '09 from the apple site.
When I attempt to launch it, I receive the following message: "The following disk images failed to mount" with the following message underneath" iwork09trial.dmg not recognized.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have a document I was really hoping to work on this evening...

Thanks for the prompt reply Michael... I tried restarting and downloading again and it didn't work. I bought the computer from an authorized apple retailer and it didn't come with the disk... perhaps they forgot it?
I am trying to download once again...

Changing iWorks 06 Trial to Legal Full Version

As part of iLife 06 that came with my OSX Tiger Intel Install Disks for my iMac Core Duo 20 " (MA200LL/A), I got the iWorks 06, 30 day Trial version. Since iWorks 06 is such legacy software, can I legally use it as a paid version by converting the existing trial version. I use Open Office as my office software, am quite happy with it, but I just want to play with iWorks 06, learn about it, so I might never use it as my main office software but I want more than 30 days to play. As a reference, a call to Apple tech support concerning the use of Appleworks 6.2.9 for the same purpose, got the official reply that Appleworks is now Freeware, public domain, so whereever I can get a copy I can legally use it. Can the same apply to iWorks 06 Trial?

There is no way I can locate that Apple tech again, but this was his answer to my question which I put on the Appleworks forum:
I know I put this question to the forum some months ago but I now have the exact reply from an Apple Software Support Tech (in Montreal Quebec, I am in Ontario so a fellow Canuck!!) with whom I just spoke, having an actual Apple Case Number. If you recall I was asking whether Appleworks 6.2.9 is now free public software. The answer is YES!! Apple no longer sells or supports Appleworks 6.2.9 (think of it as public domain freeware!!) so no matter from where we obtain the software (torrents, blogs etc.), we are free to use it without cost, registration etc. I know its for sale on Amazon, some Mac retailers, but has no connection to Apple. I got my OSX copy from the following:
http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/appleworks-6 (the Mac OSX version, (52.84 mb.)"
When I get a chance I might call them again about the iWorks 06 Trial.

IWork DVD still demanding serial number after running iWork trial version

I had the trial version, it expired, and I loaded the DVD. It demanded the serial number every time.
I have read other posts and did all of the suggested file deletions, plus more (Applications, Library, Caches, etc... I just run searches for anything containing those roots). Is there another search I can run to find these obtrusive files?. Every time I reinstall the DVD it asks for the serial number. There has to be somewhere else there is a "trial" file. I have searched every file that includes "iwork" "pages" "numbers" "keynote" and found more than just the directories suggested. Even after emptying the trash, rebooting, etc... I load the DVD and it still asks for the serial number when I try to run any of programs.
This has to be a very common problem and I can't believe Apple hasn't fixed this in the iWork DVD software they give you!
Help! I can't use any of iWork!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I agree that you must be missing something you need to delete. It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This has changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD. You should also use Disk Utility to repair permissions after installation.
The files to delete are:
1. the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications
2. the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support
3. the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (account name) > Library > Preferences for each user.

Iwork trial version

I tried downloading the trial version of iwork but nothing happened. When I clicked on dowload, it thanked me for downloading but nothing downloaded. Please help.

I'm not sure why it wasn't working for you, but I just tried it and it worked for me in both Safari and Chrome. It is probably your browser. Try the direct link to the disk image that should work.
