Paid for After Effects but still on trial version requesting for serial number

Hi there! I tried to install my subscription of After Effects. I have received an email receipt that my payment is successful. However my After Effects is still on trial version and it kept asking for a serial number. How can I activate my product?

    bought the complete membership, but still in trial version, tried the solutions provided online but I could not find deactivation option/sign out option from clicking Help in the application manager... I even tried uninstall creative cloud manager and all the apps, reinstall and re-sign-in but still couldn't find the corresponding option to click on..
    It was not "install" under "find new apps" yesterday right before I paid for the membership, I get it, the system needs time..
    I check the application manager and I saw the difference today, but the buttons under "installed apps" did not change, the expiration date is still there!
    and.. I have to install everything else in the trial mode! It drove me nuts to read the instructions provided online on how to fix this problem because I did not see the options that are supposed to be there as I followed the steps...
    I'm using Mac Pro with OS.X 10.9.5... Help!!

    This issues occurs because of the connectivity issue. (You can refer the steps from here : : Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later)
    In a Finder window, choose Go > Go To Folder.
    Type /etc.
    Select the hosts file and open it.
    Back up the hosts file: Choose File > Save As, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    Search the hosts file for entries that reference activate.adobe.com (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    Save and close the file.
    Once you remove all Adobe entries followed by 127.0.0.1 from hosts file.
    Sign out and Sign in to the Creative Cloud Desktop App, refer the link for steps : Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
    Hope this will resolve your issue.
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium trial version says my serial number is invalid?

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium from my my community college's bookstore in 2010. I successfully have used it all this time, but I recently bought a new laptop. This new laptop does not have a disk drive, but I was able to download the trial version of it online. It downloaded great, and I have been using the trial version, but the trial is up in one week. I deactivated my serial number on my old laptop, and then tried to enter it onto my new laptop, but the error message keeps saying "Incorrect Serial Number": "The serial number you entered is not valid." However, the serial number is definitely valid, and I spoke with Adobe and they just checked and were able to see that I do have an activation available for this serial number. Why won't it accept it?
    Side Notes:
    The licensing is Student Licensing
    I downloaded the correct creative suite (Creative Suite 4 Design Premium)
    I typed in the serial number correctly and checked multiple times
    I cannot afford to purchase an updated version nor Adobe Creative Cloud at this time
    Someone please help!! I am very frustrated and the person on Adobe Chat said they do not offer any technical assistance for older products.... Any help is MUCH appreciated!!

    Same thing happened to me, except I lost disk 2 and was told to go to the forums.. Seems Adobe isn't too great on their customer service or fixing issues.  The problem I was told, was that we have "Student" serials and the one from the download isnt a student version.

  • I purchased After Effects but still have limitations?

    I have purchased after effects and entered a valid serial number, but I am still stuck with the trial limitations?
    Trial limitations
    Due to licenses of various codecs, several formats are not supported in the trial version of After Effects CS5, limiting some of the features available in the trial. Formats not supported in the trial include AVC-Intra, AVCHD, Canon XF, HDV, and XDCAM. Also, certain formats, such as MPEG-2, MPEG-2 DVD, and MPEG-2 Blu-ray, cannot be exported from the trial version. For details, visit the Help Resource Center.
    Some third-party plug-ins, such as Imagineer Systems mocha and mocha shape, Foundry Keylight, CycoreFX, Synthetic Aperture Color Finesse LE, fnord ProEXR, and Digieffects FreeForm, are not included in the trial version of After Effects.
    If you decide to purchase After Effects CS5 after the trial period, support for these codecs and plug-ins will automatically be added via a simple update once you enter a valid serial number.
    The last part quotes
    If you decide to purchase After Effects CS5 after the trial period, support for these codecs and plug-ins will automatically be added via a simple update once you enter a valid serial number.
    Well when I put my serial key in it had a green check mark, and when I go to HELP> UPDATES it says all my programs are up to date..

    What specific limitations do you see in After Effects after you entered the serial number?
    Are you having problems importing any files of the protected formats?  Problems exporting?
    Here are a couple of things you can check to see whether or not the protected content is installed:
    * Add a comp to the Render Queue and open the Output Module settings.  Is MPEG2-DVD an available format?
    * In the Effects & Presets panel, or the Effect menu, is Synthetic Aperture > Color Finesse available?

  • I am trying to install after effects, but no matter what version I try to download, there is always a different error not allowing me to open or use the program after I have already installed it.

    I have recently repurposed an iMac from late 2009 as an editing machine, and have been trying to install preferably After Effects CS6.  When I install and try to open it for the first time, the program quits unexpectedly and continues to do the same every time I try to reopen the program.  After no luck experimenting trying to fix the problem, I attempted to download the trial of After Effects CC 2014 to see if the problem was with the computer or with the application.  After installing CC, there was another error when I attempted to open it.  My final attempt was taking After Effects CS5 from an old hard-drive and attempting to open it on the iMac.  When I open CS5 I am greeted with another error message telling me to reinstall After Effects.  After reinstalling I get the same message. 
    I am confused to whether my computer can handle After Effects, or there is another error occurring.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Paid up and still in trial mode. Entered serial number and reports invalid

    How can I resolve this issue. I have premiere CC on two computer that I want to sign out of one while using the other. There seems to be some issue doing this and now it is not accepting the serial number and stuck in trial mode.

    Cloud programs do not use a serial number, they are activated when you log in to your Cloud account

  • Purchased Photoshop/Lightroom subscription, PSCC fine, LR still shows trial and requires a serial number

    Hi all,
    I had downloaded Lightroom and Photoshop CC 2014 trials, then bought the $9.99 subscription.  Photoshop CC works fine after restart, but Lightroom still shows trial in play and asks for a serial number.
    I can't see a serial number in any emails.
    Please help!
    Cheers
    Kev

    Jodie84,
    I have just checked your account and found that you indeed have bought a Creative Cloud for Teams subscription but you have assigned the single seat to another user hence you ( If you are using your own Adobe ID ) are getting the trial error message.
    Two options : Either reassign the seat to your self or add an additional seat and invite your self in the same Team.
    Cheers,

  • Instead of CS6 a trial version opens, saying serial number incorrect?

    This morning I wanted to start my CS6 Photoshop. Instead of opening a trial version opens. After searching on the internet for a solution I deactivated Photoshop as recommended, restarted it and wanted to sign in. However, it says my serial number is not valid anymore! After checking my product (CD, purchase receipt and online) it is still correct. I purchased CS6 last year in December 2012. Searching this community I noticed there are more people with this same problem today. What is wrong? What must I do?

    First ther is a pop-up saying that my free trial has ended. Unfortunately I can't make a screenshot of it, because it doesn't pop up anymore. After that I get this screenshot.

  • How to register aperture 3 trial version to get serial number

    How do I get a serial number for the Aperture 3 trial version I have downloaded? They say to register, but I see no place to register when I open the link provided. I do not want to down load this thing again due to band width limitations.
    Thank you for any help with this.
    Andrew

    Andrew,
    As far as I know, they don't sell the S/N anymore other than you can buy the retail box from the online Apple Store. The retail box comes with a serial number you can enter without de-installing the trial. But as you'll see if you click the link, it will cost you $199 to get that box with a serial number. (Back when you could buy just a serial number, it also cost $199) (They also have the upgrade version box for $99 that requires you have a S/N from any prior version)
    The Mac App Store Aperture is only $80 and you don't have to mess with a serial number. And if you use it for personal use, the license allows you to install it on any computer you own, no limits. (For commercial use the license is similar to the boxed version).

  • Had trial version of Photoshop, now bought CCloud, but photoshop still asks for serial number

    I had downloaded a free trial of Photoshop, it expired, which led me to buy Creative Cloud so I could use it. Now after purchasing it, it keeps saying "trial expired" and wants a serial number, but every other app works ok without having to load a serial number. Also, have been on hold with customer service for well over 2 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling/downloading Photoshop multiple times (just like the chat help suggested) yet it still asks for serial number since trial has expired to open Photoshop. Help?

    I finally managed to get Customer Support on a Chat line.  There is no registation for CC products but you do have to activate your download/subscription using your Adobe ID and password.  That removes the request for a registration/serial number.
    I am now on line and happy.  Sad it takes so much sweat and frustration to get these simple things done.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
