Master Collection turns into trial version - 30 days later serial code doesn't work (MAC)

Last year I bought Master Collection for my Mac. I had a lot of fun with it till suddenly a trial version notice started popping up every time I started PS. I ignored it because I didn't really care, to be honest. I thought it was a mistake or whatever, but 30 days later it really stopped working and started asking for my serial code. I entered it, but it said it didn't recognize it. I updated all of the programs and entered it again and it then said the serial code didn't belong to Master Collection.
I'm really desperate because I need PS, but I'm not willing to pay for it AGAIN...

Some student licenses actually did expire.

  • Photoshop Elements suddenly turned Into Trial Version

    I have been using Photoshop Elements 11 for almost a year.  Suddenly, it has turned into a trial version.  I entered the serial number and got a message that it wasn't the correct serial number.  I went online to Adobe and checked my account and the serial number is correct.  I went to www.adobe.comgo/getserial and entered the Redemption code for my product, and it kicked out the same serial number.
    What is happening here?

    Pam Barkas it is likely the licensing files on your computer have become compromised.  This can be due to file permissions being modified or the files themselves becoming corrupted.  Which operating system are you using exactly?  Do you have any other Adobe Creative software titles installed on your computer?

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Master Collection turns into blue screen while installing disc #2

    I purchased a windows version of Adobe in Sep this year.
    I have tried more than 4 times, but still can't install the software.
    My laptop turns into blue screen and restarts itself after the system tells me to insert second disc to continue the installation process.
    I had the extact same version of Adobe installed on this computer before, but I can't seem to install the software again after recovered my computer.
    computer spec:
    Win7 Home Premium
    Service Pack 1
    i5-2410 @ 2.30GHz
    64 bits
    8GB RAM
    500GB SATA
    Thank you so much and appreciated if anyone or the actual Adobe tech can solve my problem.

    Hi Mylenium,
    Thank you for taking the time to read over and answer my question.
    However, I don't think this is a driver issue. I actaully had the following softwares installed from the disc--- Adobe Audition CS5.5, Adobe Bridge CS5.1, Adobe Device Central CS5.5, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit CS5.5, Adobe Extension Manager CS5.5, Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.6, Mocha for After Effects CS5.5, Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2, Adobe Acrobat Distiller X, Adobe Content Viewer, and Adobe Widget Browser.
    Before the installation process started, I chose to install everything that's on the disc.
    But I can't get the softwares that I really need such as photoshop, after effect, indesign, illustrator, and so on.
    Again, thank you for your help,
    Kevin

  • FCP X Trial version - Contour Design Shuttle Pro 2 doesn't work

    I use an iMac with OS X 10.8.4 and the trial version of FCP X, which expires in a few days.
    I simply cannot get my shuttle - which worked perfectly with FCP Express - to work with FCP X.
    I uninstalled and installed v3.0 several times, it is there (I can see it in the preferences and the buttons react), but FCP doesn't react at all.
    I tried settings "Final Cut Pro X" and "Final Cut Pro X alt"
    I also tried to connect the shuttle directly to the computer, via connector on the keyboard and via hub - nothing works.
    I am at a loss.
    Would anybody please help?
    Thanks a lot from Mannheim, Germany
    Sir Torsten

    Hi Torsten,
    there's a seperate driver setting for the demo version which works fine on my system.

  • I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9.  When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work.  Any suggestions.  I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

    To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

  • Current CC subscription turns into trial mode every other month... How to fix this once and for all?

    Current my current always promptly paid CC subscription regularly turns into Trial mode. This means I can use Apps in trial mode (how nice...), ask me to get a paid subscription, and at the same time happily charges my credit card. This happens every other months. Then I have to discuss this with their agents, which usually takes days to weeks, because they don't know what's going on. How on earth can this be fixed one and for all?!
    Thanks,
    Hinnerk

    Hinnerk do you have a case number from your previous contact with our support team that I can reference?

  • Got CS6 Master Collection Education Edition as gift, How to get serial?

    I was just given adobe Master Collection as a gift. It's the Education edition which requires a bunch of things, one being "Proof of eligibility" but I'm not a student.
    Can I still activate my product?
    I have Boxed product with product code too..I really like the package as I've already installed and started trial version (29 days left)
    It was sent to me by a friend who didn't need it as he switched studies to autocad or something.
    Please help, I live in South Africa and cant afford CC,, CC is like half rent or more than month's food

    Some gift! #sarcasm
    You must be eligible to buy, register and activate the product and academic versions can’t be transferred.
    Sorry, but you’re out of luck here.
