Photoshop CS4 extended trial error help

before i installed the CS4 trial, i uninstalled all previous photoshop versions that were on my computer(cs2,3). but when i open photoshop cs4, it doesnt even start to open. all i get is an error reading "licensing for this product has stopped working" and it says that i must restart my computer before launching, which i did. it's the same error every time and i dont know how to fix it. i have a windows xp home edition 32 bit.512 Mb of RAM. i tried googling but the only help i found talked about a "FLEXnet" folder which i don t have. so any help would be appreciated. =]
(just please dont say restart ur computer or uninstall and reinstall the program. i know that those wont fix it)

>(just please dont say restart ur computer or uninstall and reinstall
>the program. i know that those wont fix it)
Not entirely correct. In many cases a uninstall/reinstall will correctly initialize the licensing system. The point here is, that one of your previous uninstalls, most likely of CS3, did not go as planned. You can of course try the tips from the knowledge base first. If they fail, uninstall. In addition, make sure to run the CS3 clean script and CS4 clean utility to get rid of every trace of old and defunct files. Then try another install.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended - Trial Version Expired

Can someone help me please. I have searched the forums but I cannot find a solution.
I installed the Photoshop CS4 extended trial which expired a few weeks ago. In the meantime I have purchased a copy of Photoshop CS4 (Standard not Extended). I completed removed the trial but I am unable to installed the purchased copy. I am getting the trial expired serial input screen.
I have also tried the unistall with REVO but this has not made any difference.
I have tried to use the Adobe cleanup but I dont think its worked properly. I am running Windows 7 Operating System.
I have uninstalled/installed photoshop 5 times now and its driving me mad

There is no problem such as you describe. If you buy a legitimate standard edition license, you can enter that serial number and the trial version will be activated as the standard edition.
Where did you get this copy of Photoshop CS4?
If not directly from Adobe, there's a chance you were scammed and your serial number isn't valid at all. Photoshop is heavily pirated.

3D not accessible in Photoshop CS4 extended trial?

I have just downloaded the photoshop cs4 extended trial. I want to convert an existing photo to 3D however the entire 3D menu items are greyed out.
Any thoughts please?

No idea. I can only speak for the full Master Collection and there it works when installed as a trial. I would assume that the standalone PS trial supports all the features, otherwise it wouldn't be PS Extended. Even more so, as the 3D part is Adobe's own concoction that does not involve third-party licensing rights which could possibly prevent them from having this in the trial...

Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop CS4 Extended trial version

Hello,
I have Photoshop CS4 installed on my Windows Vista system and wanted to download the Photoshop CS4 Extended trial.
I tried to download the Photoshop CS4 Extended trial on the desktop as well as on the laptop and wasn't successful.
I was able to download other Adobe trial applications such as Flash CS4, After Effects CS4 and so forth.
I thought the issue mentioned above was due to the fact that Photoshop CS4 was already installed or maybe cause only Photoshop CS4 is available for the trial and not the Extended version similar to CS4 Encore?
Annick Vanderschelden

Thanks for the answers...
I think John understands me. As a matter of fact I have a PS Standard
CS2, CS3 and CS4 installed on my system and was wondering why I wasn't able to install a PS CS4 Extended trial. Apparently you just can't.
It's a pity 'cause as a consequence if you want to try the Extended version you have to get rid of the Standard version first and then download the Extended trial version?
I think it would also be better that the Adobe site should mention that you cannot download the Extended version when you already have the Standard installed? For example if you hover over the PS CS4 icon here, you will notice the 'try' link. Then you might expect that you just can download and install the application whether you have the Standard already on your system or not.

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial - Available yet?

Hi all,
Not sure if i am behind the times? But is Photoshop CS4 Extended trial available from adobe yet? If not, do we know when it will be made available?
TIA

I'll tell you EXACTLY why, billhughlett.
Because in the time it takes to type out and submit a simple question like that, post it, then wait for an answer, the questioner could easily spend 30 seconds finding it themselves. Even a poor Googler or surfer could rustle up the answer to this particular question in about 2 minutes.
It's not that many of us wouldn't deign to answer, it's just that our free, voluntary time is better spent in dialogue about issues that aren't so easily found. The esoteric, the arcane, the anomalous, the exceedingly difficult...that's kind of where this forum earns its keep.
You want nicey-nice, spoon-fed answers to "Where's the Paint Bucket?" and questions on that level? Perhaps any of the hundreds or thousand independently-run beginner Photoshop-focused sites/forums is where you wanna be. It's not that we won't answer simple questions, but I think most of us don't like to feel we're being taken advantage of.
Maybe the "attitude" is just a harsh little lesson in being a little more self-sufficient.
The mid-November date may not have slapped you in the face, but it's there, and it's relatively easy to find.

Photoshop CS4 Extended Graphics Error

Hello Everyone
I just recently upgraded to CS4 Master Collection in hopes of using it with my web design job I was hired for. Whenever I go into Photoshop CS4 Extended and I try to "Free Transform" something (an image, a shape, etc) and either the canvas goes black and doesn't respond for awhile, or it has these purple shapes that show up on a black background and they are pixelated. I do apologize if I am not describing this very well. You can see what I am talking about here on this link where I took a screenshot and posted it.

this fixed the program error for me, at least for the time being. i do use the opengl drawing thing quite a bit though, i hope they fix this. i also hope its not my machine (1 year old macbook pro). i also speeded things up on my machine by having a separate scratch disk that i plug in (a firewire 800 drive) which i thought was the program error problem at first. some of the files that were not able to open i was able to initially open by duplicating them and then opening them. but not today--i haven't been able to open anything until i turned off the opengl drawing preference. good luck whoever you are! i know how frustrating this is--believe me, i almost slammed my computer on the ground today when it wouldn't open my files!
note that overall the opengl feature, i feel, is pretty rad though--i love being able to draw and rotate the entire canvas to match the orientation of my drawing capabilities!

I cannot install the Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial

I have Photoshop CS3 Extended on another computer and wanted to download the trial for this computer. It gives me the error saying. "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder." Now this is a newly re-formatted computer with more than enough memory, I am the administrator of the computer and everything. Is anybody else having this problem or know how to fix this? Thanks

Was the CS3 trial from Adobe?

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial question?

If I download the trial of PS CS4 Extended and then later purchase the full version can I use the key from the full version to activate the trial?
Or would I have to uninstall the trial and install the full version?
Thanks.

In theory yes but, bearing mind all the problems being reported here, I wouldn't do it.

Photoshop CS4 Extended Trial Won't Extract

I just finally managed to get the download manager working and downloaded PS CS4 Trial and when it hits 99% extracting says I don't have enough hdd space or privlages.
I'm admin, have plenty of hdd space, using windows xp sp2.

To where are you extracting it and how much is "plenty of hdd space"?
How much RAM?

Photoshop CS4 Extended trial (3D features question)

Does the trial version provide full 3d tool capabilities? Before downloading over 800 MB and using even more space for installation, it would be great to know! :P
(I am only intererested in upgrading from CS3 for the ability to paint 3d models).
I searched Adobe's site extensively to see if the trial has "full" features or limitations, but it mentions neither.
Thanks in advance! :D

I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended at all

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (Trial Version) from the Adobe.com website through Akamai downloader. Well, i tried to install it clicking on the set up, but it started to install and a few minutes later stopped and displayed a error message. The message, without error code identifications, just informed that there was an error during the instalation and Adobe bridge and another one could not be installed.
I tried again and it started, but when it was almost finishing another message appeared warning that "there was an error during the instalation(again no code error identification) and that Photoshop could not be installed.
I follow some tips like shutting down the firewall, AV, but it didn't work. I used the system restoring so that i could completely clean up remaining files and tried to reinstall it, but again nothing.
Has anybody any idea?
Thanks

Hi again.

I know that John, when i said that i usually run the system as administator, i meant that i logged on as administrator. Sorry if i caused a misunderstood.
I decided to format the computer again. Perhaps, some problem during the system instalation may have caused this problem. After that, i'll try to install it and see what's gonna happen. I've decided to do it because If it is caused by an instalation error of the main system, it may also cause hassles when using other softwares. But if it is not caused by an instalation error i'll come back to get help.
Thanks for responding

Photoshop CS4 extended upgrade problems.....Help!

I am using Photoshop CS3 (registered and activated) on my old computer.
I built a new computer and want to install CS4 extended on it. I purchased a Photoshop CS4 Extended update from Amazon for $342.99. During installation of CS4 on my new computer I entered the serial number. The next page that pops up is Upgrade Check that asks: 1) Select product that you already own: The only choice is Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and 2) it asks for the serial number. I am upgrading from Photoshop CS3, not the extended version, so it will not accept my serial number. Photoshop is installed on a trial basis right now.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 on the new computer but that did not help and CS3 did not recognize the CS2 installation disk that I put in the CD drive to prove that I was allowed to install a CS3 uprade.
The new computer I am trying to install on is an Intel i7 920 processor on a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard, with 12Gb RAMM, a Sapphire Toxic Radion HD 4870 graphics card, and running Windows XP pro 64 bit. I installed the operating system on the D drive. This computer is not setup to connect to the internet.
I am also trying to install Adobe CS2 Creative Suite (everything except Photoshop), but the CS2 installation does not recognize the Adobe CS1 disk 1 when I put it in the CD drive as requested.
This is all very frustrating considering how happy I have been with my Adobe software all the way back to Photoshp 5. I called the 800-833-6687 number and after playing phone tree for a while was informed that I was calling outside their hours (at noon on Sunday) even though the webpage I got the number from says they are available 7 days a week.
It was bad enough that after spending $195 to upgrade to Photoshop CS3, 3 weeks later Adobe announced Photoshop CS4.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Steve

You do like making things complicated don't you?
From your message I deduce that you purchased an upgrade that is not in the upgrade eligibility path from the version that you had.
It's not logical but then what is these days in Adobe marketing? The only solution seems to be to get back on the telephone.
