Premiere Elements 11 Mac Trial expires on first launch

Hi,
I downloaded the trail of Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for Mac today as I'm looking for an alternative to iMovie.
I installed it as soon as it was finished and all went OK.  I did the trail signup part and created and Adobe account but when Premiere Elements 11 started I got a popup window saying my Trial has expired and I only have this one launch left!!  What?  Is it really only a single launch trial or has something gone screwy?
I like the look of it so far but come on, surely I can get more than a single trial launch?
Using Mac OSX 10.8.2 and never tried an Adobe Trail before so its not a legacy install or anything.
Thanks,
Andy

Jeff.
Sorry but thats completely unhelpful.   I have never used an Adobe Product before on this machine, Flash excluded.  I downloaded the trail which took 45 mins, isntalled it and then launched it.  One the very first launch it told me the trial had expired so I only had that single launch.  I had a quick go with it and then closed it.  When I try and open again it tells me its expired!
I do not have another machine to try it on.   As per your link
Changing the system clock - Nope, didn't do that.
Modifying the executable file - What now??
Attaching a debugger - Errrrr.  No idea what a debugger is.
Automated virus scans - Don't run a virus scanner on my Mac.
So basically I've wasted all that download data from my capped connection and had exactly 20 minutes for my trouble and thats it.  I'm not asking to extend the trial.  I'm asking FOR THE TRIAL!  To have it expire on me straight away is rubbish when I haven't done anything.  Well, I guess you've lost me as potential customer then.  I was going to try Photoshop CS6 as well but not going to bother now.

  • CC 2014 trial expired on first launch!

    I had a recent email that told me that my trial period would be reset for CC 2014.
    However, after downloading and running the apps, none will launch as CC thinks my trial period has expired. What did I do wrong?

    Were you trying products that were covered by the trial reset? (not all programs were reset)

  • Premiere Elements 12 trial opens then closes

    Hello, I just downloaded the trial for Premiere Elements 12. When I first open the program and click new project, the program opens then a window pops up that says "Please Log-In with an Admin account to access Adobe Premiere Elements"  I am the only user on the computer and always have been so I know I am using an Adminstrator account. As an alternative I tried opening the program as Administrator. This time when I click new project, the program opens, then just closes with no pop up.

    aerosum
    Just starting my day.
    Recent posts have pointed to a 2 video card set up as being problematic for Premiere Elements 12. That is why I asked back in post 11 of the thread that you joined
    c. What is the specific AMD Radeon Graphics Card that you have? In Device Manager/Display Adapters/, is it just that one card that you see named there? If you go to the Driver tab of the card, what is the driver version number and date?
    Since your reply was
    c. AMD Radeon HD 7600 M Series. Driver Date: 06-12-2013 Driver Version: 13.251.0.0
    I took that to mean that your computer used just that one video card.
    Moving forward,
    1. Did you update the AMD driver that you had using the AMD utility that identifies the update that you need? If so, what is the date and version number for the driver that the AMD utility recommended? That AMD utility is described in a link that I posted for you in a prior post in this thread.
    http://www.driversinstaller.com/amd.html
    2. Have you attempted to disable the Intel card and determine if that is a viable solution?
    But before you do anything else, in view of the message that you are receiving
    The problem seems to be something else now. I updated the Graphics Driver and now when I start premier elements it says incompatible Graphics Driver found and shuts off
    please delete the BadDrivers.txt file to determine if that has any impact on the situation. The path to the BadDrivers.txt file in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit is
    Local Disc C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    and in the 12.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. After you open a Premiere Elements project, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file with the problem hopefully gone. Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    The rationale behind the deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file is given in post 10 of this older thread.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732067
    This BadDrivers.txt file deletion has been a lifesaver to many (with Premiere Elements 9 or later) who were hit by this display card error.
    Please review and consider and then we can put it all together to determine what next.
    Thanks.

  • Adobe premiere elements 8 trial

    Ok so I'm working on a school assignment and downloaded the trial of premiere elements. Installed fine etc but noticed, that overlayed on the video is "Created using Adobe Premiere Elements 8 Trial version". The school has full licenced copies of Premiere elements 7. If I create the movie at home and then load it on the school computers will it still have that? Also, is there any issues going from Premiere Elements 8 to Premiere Elements 7
    P.S. Sorry about my name, but it kept rejecting names

    If you did a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy, copied all of your Assets and had a laptop with PrE 8, then things should work fine. Remember - the Asset files are NOT in the Project file. This ARTICLE will give you the tips.
    I migrate Projects between computers (usually PrPro, but it's exactly the same). I use external FW-800 drives, and set each Project up in its own folder and ALL Assets are Copied to that folder structure.
    The problem that one will likely encounter is that with an external HDD, the drive letter will probably change, machine to machine. I set this to be the same for each computer's OS, so that my Z:\ is always my Z:\ drive on each computer, where I plug it in. This might be something that you will not have access to, with lab machines, but PrE makes it easy to deal with. When you plug in the external HDD, and then open your Project, the Path to the Assets will be different, so PrE will not be able to find them on its own. It will ask, "where is file _____?" and you can then use Find to navigate to the new Path for those Assets files. Once you locate the first one in that folder, it will then relink to all used Assets in that folder. If you have the Assets in many different folders, you will need to repeat for each folder.
    Be very sure to read that FAQ article on removing the watermark. That will need to be followed.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere Elements 11 (Trial) question

    Hello
    What might be the reason why Premiere Elements 11 (Trial) will not open up when I double-click on its desktop icon?
    I have successfully installed it today - but not used it - and I can see it in the Control Panel and there is a folder for it under Adobe in my Windows 7 Program Files folder on my C drive.
    Thanks
    Steve

    You are correct. The only way to test that would be to install an nVidia, or AMD/ATI card, disable the Intel embedded chip, and install the latest driver from the mfgr's. Web site - then test.
    For general computing, the video card/chip and its driver, are less important, and e-mail clients, word processors, spreadsheet programs, and Web browsers usually work just fine. However, with programs like PrE, 3D creation programs and extreme games, rely very heavily on the interface with the video driver. PrE needs that, just for running its GUI (Graphical User Interface). It is programs, in that latter group, that tax the video driver very heavily.
    I would start with this FAQ Entry (if I have posted this link upthread, I apologize): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0 It starts with a general checklist on getting things set up and running for PrE. Then, it goes into some tips on tuning up one's computer and OS. Finally, it lists many troubleshooting tips, and links to some tools to help in that process, going from easy to harder. If you find, that after that article, things still do not work properly, that will narrow the focus to the video driver, with pretty high probability - though only the test outlined above, could verify that.
    Though I have had Intel CPU's, since the first PC hit my desk in the 80's, I would not rely on one of their GPU chips, due to the lack of driver support, and always recommend that one go with an nVidia, or AMD/ATI chip set, instead. Going back some years, I was a fan of the Matrox video cards, especially on my graphic design computers. However, like Intel, Matrox was deficient in their driver support, so I finally dropped them for nVidia.
    Even then, there can be developmental dead ends. My current laptop is about 5 years old, and has an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX. I am still running XP-Pro SP-3 on it, and nVidia has not done a new driver for that chip and that OS, since mid-2012. All of my other Adobe programs run fine on it, except for PrE 11, which has some display issues. It's nothing that I cannot live with, especially as I have a new laptop on order. Still, and even with an nVidia chip, the driver support for it, with my older OS, has run its course. I, who always urge people to update their video drivers, am now out of luck - no new driver for that chip and OS - dead end.
    Good luck,

    Welcome to the forum.
    As your system setup will likely be much different from that of Konrad's, I would start a new thread, and in it, list the full system in detail, as Konrad did. This ARTICLE will give you tips on the info that would be very useful.
    In Konrad's case, the C:\ was filled to about capacity, so could well have been a contributing factor. That is why full I/O specs. will be very, very useful.

    During the installation I get the message (in German) Während der Installation des folgenden Produkts ist ein Fehler aufgetreten: . Starten Sie Ihr System neu und versuchen Sie es erneut.
    I installed the SW in two different notebooks. Unfortunately I get the same message on both notebooks.
    Below I have make some print screens during the installation and the error message.
    second picture is the error message.
    Could you help me in this case what I can to do?
    Thanks in advanced for you support.

    Try the basic troubleshooting steps :
    Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-adminis trator-account-on-windows-vista/ )
    --> It’s already enabled
    Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-servic es-windows.html )
    --> I have disabled it.
    Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    --> I have disable it.
    Reboot and Install in the enabled Administrator account and check.

  • Can I download Premiere Elements 7 trial?

    Does anybody know where can I download Premiere Elements 7 trial? My school is using Premiere Elements 7 and I'm afraid I'm going to have compatibility issues with Elements 9 and 7.

    That might be a tough one, as PrE 7 is now two years and two versions old, I would anticipate that the trial downloads are long gone.
    Also remember, any Project done in any "trial" version will be watermarked, so you might not be happy with the results. This FAQ Entry will tell you more about the watermark.
    Good luck, and I hope that someone else might have a URL to the download, but I would not hold my breath, due to the age of that version.

  • Premiere Elements 10 trial version vs buying Elements 11

    Hi!
    I downloaded Premiere Elements 10 trial version last week but now 11 is out!
    I (unfortunalty for me) didn't realize watermarks would "stay" until I bought full version but I figured I might as well buy the 11 version since it's out. So how can I do this since when I open program it asks me if I want to purchase version 10? and most importantly, will I loose all the work I've done so far???
    Thanks!
    Vivivd45

    You are welcome to uninstall the Premiere Elements 10 trial and install the Premiere Elements 11 trial.  You can locate the trial at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us.

  • Premiere Elements 10 Trial Slow To Draw Timeline

    Problems with Premiere Elements 10 Trial being slow to draw the timeline when scrolling up or down or sideways.
    One fix I've read said to "disable desktop composition" in the Compatibility tab of the Properties window from the PE shortcut icon.
    But the option is grayed out.
    My spec's:
    Windows 7 64 bit
    i7 2600K
    16GB RAM
    NVIDIA GTX 460
    850 Watt PSU
    SSD System and Programs Drive
    Can't figure out why it's not letting me choose that option.
    Any ideas for a fix?
    Thanks!

    What model of camcorder is your original video coming from and what format is it?
    When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select? If you've selected the proper settings for your source video, you will NOT see red lines above the clips when you add them to your timeline. Is that the case in your project?
    Also, have you run Advanced System Care Free on your system? Brand new systems can be a mess of fragmentation and temp files. This great little one-click program can clean up and optimize your machine and often clears up "invisible" issues. And it's free. I've used it every week for years, and my 6 year old computer still runs better than the day I bought it.

  • Premiere Elements 8 trial crashes when creating a new project

    Was redirected to the forums by a support tech, who informed me that Adobe provides no phone support for trial products...
    Installed Adobe Premiere Elements 8 trial for one of our creatives to evaluate.  Platform is Windows XP x64.
    Installed as an administrator account, however the user is not an admin.  When run under the administrative account, the program seems to function normally, but crashes when run as the local user, with the following error messages:
    And finally...
    The user's My Documents is redirected to a network share, in case that would be an issue.
    Any ideas?

    One - WinXp64 was an oddity, that is not supported by much
    Two - "When run under the administrative account, the program seems to function normally"
    My understanding (remember that this is a USER TO USER forum, so I don't work for Adobe) is that all flavors of Premiere require 100% of a computer's resources... and that includes being run as Administrator
    If the program works for you when run as Administrator... that is what you need to do
    Three - "My Documents is redirected to a network share, in case that would be an issue"
    Again my understanding... all flavors of Premiere are NOT designed to use a network... they were/are designed to be installed on a single computer and to run on that computer

    yogawithlexi,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
    For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
    If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
    Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
    Good luck,
    Hunt
