Lightroom 2.1rc and trial downloads
Now that 2.1 rc is released I am happy enough to upgrade from Lightroom 1.4.1 but I would like to purchase a boxed copy because it comes with the booklet inside of having to read it as PDF which I hate doing.
My question is if I download the trial version and upgrade from there (can you do that?) whilst the boxed version is ordered and turns up in the post can I upgrade to the 2.1 rc version? ie does 2.1 even work if you are running Lightroom 2 in trial mode. Don't really want to find out the hard way that it does not. lol. I have been reading all the bits and pieces and can't seem to find an answer which makes me wonder if the answer is no. Any ideas? Thanks.
Just try, can't hurt i think.<br /><br /><[email protected]> schreef in bericht <br />news:[email protected]..<br />> Now that 2.1 rc is released I am happy enough to upgrade from Lightroom <br />> 1.4.1 but I would like to purchase a boxed copy because it comes with the <br />> booklet inside of having to read it as PDF which I hate doing.<br />><br />> My question is if I download the trial version and upgrade from there (can <br />> you do that?) whilst the boxed version is ordered and turns up in the post <br />> can I upgrade to the 2.1 rc version? ie does 2.1 even work if you are <br />> running Lightroom 2 in trial mode.

Lightroom 2 - problems with trial download?
I thought I would try Lightroom 2 to see how it compares to Photoshop Elements 8. I downloaded the trial version okay and it seemed to install okay. When I tried to run it, the initial panel comes up and a few seconds later is glossed over by a panel saying to the effect that "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working" and I get a smaller panel to the effect that Windows is "checking things out". I then get a button to push that tells me to "Close Program".
Obviously something is wrong. I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron 545 (64 bit - I believe) and I am not sure what else is under the hood that might cause problems. I have Photoshop Elements loaded and it runs with some problems, but I don't understand how that could affect Lightroom. I also tried to download and run Lightroom 3 Beta and had the same problem.
Any help or insight that anyone would care to provide will be greatly appreciated, because I have heard that Lightroom is a very good product (not sure how bug-free it is compared to Elements) and I would sure like the opportunity to at least test it out. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
WesternGuyI removed all the Preference files that you indicated. I uninstalled Lightroom 2.6. I then went back to the NVIDIA site and checked for an update to my driver for Windows 64-bit configuration. The site said there was one, so I downloaded it and installed it and all went well, so far. I then rebooted my machine.
I then downloaded Lightroom 2.6 again and installed it. When I tried to run it with all this new stuff installed, same problem. This is beginning to get a bit more techie than I can deal with. I do have a disk with the Operating System on it, but I am reluctant to reinstall it (Windows 7) in case something goes wrong. If it did, then this is just way beyond my technical knowledge and understanding of things to fix if anything that could go wrong, does go wrong. I have had Dell systems for years and have never, ever had these kind of problems with getting applications, even trial ones, to run. As far as access privileges, I am the administrator for this machine and I have never been asked for access privileges on any file, folder or other unit, so I will assume (?) that this is not an issue. If it was, I would have expected it to turn up by now, as I have had this machine for about three months, maybe four. Ambienttroutmask, I really appreciate all your help and suggestions and thank you very much for them all...
I do not believe that, or fail to understand why, such a high level of technical knowledge should be required to make things like this, that should be simple - download - install - run - test - decide on purchase (or not), to run. I do believe I am entitled to one year of in-home Dell service, so maybe I will contact Dell Canada and see what this is all about. Maybe if I could get someone to come have a look, then this can be resolved.
I am now at my proverbial wit's end and have no idea where to go from here. Ideas? Thoughts? Anyone?

Creative cloud- activation and trial downloads with a paid subscription
Hi Community,
i needed to find somewhere to post this question as i feel im hitting a brick wall with the support docs that are widely available.
We have introduced Creative Cloud for Education at my work place. i'm trying to put together some installation docs that can be distributed internally, but i cannot get past how the software is activated from a trial copy through to using the subscription that has been paid for, either prior to the trial expiring or upon expiry. As it seems all apps start in a trial mode (not the best idea, it confuses people as to whether they have a legitimate installation i've found)
That aside, does anyone understand from personal experience how you then progress your trial copy into the 'buy' stage when you have already bought the subscription and it is active?
it all seems a bit pointless and perhaps i am missing something here but i cannot get past it, and no amount of support docs i read even addresses 'how' this happens. the closest doc i have found talks about how to take CS6 copy from trial to full.
come on Adobe, help us out with some real instructions person to person. i'm not looking for links to support docs here (as you may have guessed)
Best wishes,
HaileyMaybe you've run a trial version of a unknown source.
Possibility that your host file is modified and some IP numbers are blocked.
Adobe can't reach the appropriate registration server(s).
A solution can be:
- Log-out desktop CC
- Clean Up your host file (don't know how, Google is our best friend)
- Restart your computer
- Log on CC desktop
I hope this works for you. -
i hav edownloaded lightroom after a free trial and cant grt it to work?
open lightroom and you should see a message about your trial expiring and giving you the option to purchase. click that option and you should be given the option to enter your serial number.
if not, uninstall your lightroom trial (using the adobe uninstaller). then download and install lr 5.7,

Lightroom 2.6 trial download - how to build a catalog from scratch.
I have downloaded Lightroom 2.6 trial version and am trying to build a small catalog for it. I don't need my whole Photoshop Elements 8 (PSE 8) catalog, but I would like to build a small catalog out of images in the My Pictures folder so that I can experiment with this software. It recognizes the existence of my old PSE 6 catalog, but says it is corrupt and ask about building a new catalog. It will not recognize my PSE 8 catalog. How do I go about bypassing this "catalog recognition step" and go right to that part of the software that will let me build a catalog from the images contained in various folders in the My Pictures main folder. Unless I can get to the part where I can build a catalog to test out LR 2.6, then I am stuffed (as the Aussies would say) as far as testing this product. Maybe I need to download the Lightroom 3 Beta and see if it will recognize my PSE 8 catalog. Any suggestions, insight on how to resolve this dilemma are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Regards,
WesternGuyWhen I bring up LR, it asks me if I want to buy or try...so to speak, I check off <try> and the <Next> and <Back> buttons are immediately greyed out and the only thing I can do is click on <Finish> or <Cancel>. If I click on <Finish>, It tells me that "the Lightroom catalog named "catalog" cannot be opened because it is not valid. Would you like to select a different catalog". The catalog is not registered as a valid catalog." It tells me where this invalid catalog is and then I have a choice of buttons that ask me to "choose a different catalog" or another button that says "Exit". If I select "choose a different catalog, then it asks for a location and gives me a button that says "Create a new catalog", it then goes to the My Pictures folder inside a panel that has at the top "Create folder with New Catalog" and then I don't seem to be able to do anything it likes. I never get to a menu that gives me the "File/New Catalog" option.(???)
Maybe I need to uninstall and reinstall LR2.6.

Lightroom 3 does not offer a choice of language for the trial download
I have downloaded the trail version Lightroom 3. Although my computer is in French, I wanted to download the English version of the software. All the tutorials and the literature are in English.
I tried three times but every time, it did not offer me a choice of language for the trial version and downloaded the French version everytime.
Can anyone help solve this problem for me?I just checked Adobe's trial download and I was offered many different languages for the trial download.
The language choice is on the webpage before you click on <Download>.

My dad has the original software and i can't install the program because my dad is in the US and I'm in the Philippines. Now, I asked the serial number of his adobe lightroom. How can I download the software using the serial number? thanks.
If you just need a copy of the software, then download the trial copy of Lr available from Adobe. On entering your serial number it will then become a full copy.

Apps worked as trials, now nothing is stable since converting to subscription, and previous download
apps worked as trials, now nothing is stable since converting to subscription, as Adobe instructed me to, since they could not fulfill my order in a timely fashion! and previous downloads now failed to work and new downloads fail to download.
I can only use less than 50% of the software I subscribed to, yet my trial apps worked on my two machines.
Muse has never worked, it was offered to me as a free service, but I have never gotten it to work, typekit just hung for 3 hours the last time I attempted to use it. Illustrator crashes cotinually, causing me problems with the files I created in my trial version that adobe told me to use. I can't tell if I am being charged for Muse since I tried to open it and it never opened.
I am using Photoshop with 5.5 gigs of ram assigned, and AE opens and works. I have a Mac Pro with 13 GB ram and 5 TB drive space.
If photoshop and AE are able to run, I do not understand why the problems are continuing. I have ditched the illustrator preferences and restarted several times to no avail. This must be an issue with adobe's subscriptions.
The biggst problem is illustratorCS6. It will not stay open, and it will not allow me to download a fresh copy.
I need these programs to work. Come on, Adobe, deliver what you promised!
I work with two educational programs and I try things out to see if we can use them. We can't buy subscriptions for the kids if it is going to fail continually. Also, the updates that forcibly download and then refuse to be available! If a download will not be availbale to me, don't waste my drive space to put it there! And, download on startup or shutdown, stop interfering with my ability ( or lack thereof) to be able to do work.Dear Ken:
When adobe opened subscriptions, I signed up on the first day. After 7-10
days, I got a message telling me to download trial versions, since they
were having trouble keeping up with demand. I spent about 5 days
downloading after that. I signed into cloud and activated my subscription,
but it has not always stayed activated. I don't have an uninstaller for
Illustrator, only for the Maser Collection. I spent a week downloading and
getting what I have now to work, so I'm not enthusiastic about uninstalling
the master collection. Plus, I have files I am working on in the new
programs.
My mac pro has 2 1TB and 2 1.5 TB drives with various working environments
including 10.6.7, 10.6.8, 10.5.8, and 10.7.2 and windows XP. For me, 10.6.8
is the most stable and allows me to use most of my software, but I do work
on projects for many, many clients who need their projects worked on using
legacy software, so I have previous versions of the creative and production
suite installed on different volumes. I own 5 serial number "chains" built
from 2 unique copies of photoshop, 1 unique copy of creative suite mac, and
1 unique copy of creative and an upgrade production suite for windows. By
unique copies I mean a product that began an upgrade path.
My experience with adobe started when I tried to buy an acrobat session
online to create a web-press-ready pdf for a client back in the early
1990's. The pdf failed and when I tried to recover my payment, several of
my ATM serial numbers were deactivated. That was when I first encountered
the ladies in the call center in the phillipines.
Years later, I moved one of my windows machines in my studio a couple of
years back and it changed its ip address. After Effects quit working. I
spent a month and a half vigorously trying to resolve the problems with
Adobe's call and technical centers in the Phillipines, India, and the
mormons. After each session the problems remained unsolved and the tech
support and customer support personnel claimed they had resolved all my
problems, even when they frankly admitted to me that they had not. The
final coup de gras came from the ladies in the Phillipines who cancelled my
serial numbers and told me they gave me a new serial ( which never worked
and never activated) and told me I had to upgrade. My particular machine
environment and the clients I serve do not use the upgraded version they
insisted I had to use. I was never even clear what version they gave me a
serial for! And they yelled at me and were not forthcoming. I simply could
not afford any more hours on the phone with Adobe and I had to sacrifice
working for a client who paid well and needed work completed in that
particular version of windowsCS.
Muse sort of open but remains greyed out. I don't want to sign up for
anything on Muse that will result in a credit card charge. I downloaded it
when Adobe said it was free service for subscribers. I tried to use type
kit and it just can't resolve when I try to choose any type. After three
hours of waiting, closing opening again, I decided that it wasn't worth the
effort unless I discovered a better routine. My broadband is a 14.4 mbps
download, which is fairly robust. I do check it and when typekit was not
working, the broadband speed was good.
I expected to use the digital publishing suite and lightroom. That they are
not available and now that Muse is a fee-only service, I am leery of
believing Adobe's claims. Also, I have not been able to make a second
download activate for my macbook pro. It takes much longer to download on
that machine, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times now. In
fact, most of what I've really done for these last two months of
subscription I paid for is download over and over again. That was why I
asked for a dvd of media, since I know users on the forums are getting
that.
have I explained a little better? -
I have a annual plan, it supposed must be used in two terminals, but i haven´t been able to install any app in a second computer, it always says that the app is only available as a trial download. What can I do to solve this issue, and be able to use my paid plan in two computers?

I moved from the UK to Sweden. My trial expired in the UK but I was not able to purchase CC in Sweden for some reason. I was told to create a new account in Sweden with a new Adobe ID. When I did, the trial downloads did not work and I could not purchase the CC at discount price.

Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4. I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?
Read this table http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The Olympus Stylus 1 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC.
It is not compatible with CS5 or older and never will be.
If you do not want to upgrade to CS6 or CC then you can dwonload the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Stylus 1 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5.

Ask for a download link for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition.
I bought an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition from the campus. It only comes with the product code on the card without the installation CD.
Because the software downloaded from the official website don't accept the serial number registered for the student version, I am wondering where could I download the older version that accept the student serial number.
Thank you.If the software you downloaded from the Adobe Updates page, what did you mean by this statement?
