Really? Downloading a Trial Sh/ Not be this Hard

Okay, its 2013 and, somehow, Adobe can't figure out how to make the trial installation a little easier? I installed the installer software. I downloaded Premier Elements and Photoshop. [v 12; Windows 8] and now I cannot figure out how to launch the installed products. I even reinstalled PSE to see if I missed a prompt . . . no luck.
I am new to Windows 8 so I don't know how to go to"Search All Programs" like you might have done in previous versions.
It's ridiculous that simple prompts are not provided.
Glancing through the threads, it doesn't seem I am alone in this frustration.
Oh, and the "chat" rooms are never staffed.
Not a good impression overall so far.
Really; this is the best that Adobe can do?
Suggestions?

Could you please respond with the steps which you have tried? Also which operating system are you using?
Alternately you can try the steps listed at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

This should not be this hard. I have an older version of Photoshop with legitimate serial number.

I just want to activate my copy of on my laptop.
I was instructed to delete my version and download the version that needs no activation.
NOW I cannot do that I am without my software program.
My laptop is also an older version of design, but want to learn and use my Photoshop now. How can I proceed.

Windows 7
and Photoshop CS about 7 years old.
Now learning photography and loaded my original software onto my laptop (4 years old), and it would not activate.
No phone activation allowed anymore. Even though I have the case with all the legitimate serial numbers.
The system left me up in the air, did what it suggested and did a delete of the older version.
Now cannot get the version that needs no activation to accept my request to download. What to do??
PHEW as I said it should not be this hard.

HI! I've tried to download the trial for AME and this appears even before I can download

There is no application set to open the URL aam://SAPCode=AME?productVersion=8.0?passPhrase=JLTl1+p5c9al5Yl1FVC5YBq2PcDBxnbmdX8WjRROP C5NZmfxiw1TpXbK7pKD0mPyMhg6x0CajJsXI38SrIFm1CN1tJrOg7fj1Ah8+Imj/DBljwboImvfvNhdlWXhX22ZFTA wW1rlBMDFjL+KsHLzSKou41fiP1XZdvmJkPqTpsY=.
Does Anyone know why this happens?@

use a different browser or download and install the cc desktop app, https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
and install your trial using the desktop app.

I bought the second season of American Guns and it downloaded some episodes and not others this happened to the last season of American Chopper also for me.

I purchased the second season of American Guns and the latest American Chopper and some episodes downloaded and some didn't and I go to purchase it again and it tells me already purchased but when I hit download it tells me to pay again then when I do it says already purchased???

For those interested, the solution (at least in my case) is pretty simple:
--Contact Apple Support and explain.
--Have first-level support misinterpret your request.
--Re-explain and ask for resolution.
--Have the purchased items added to your download queue and then hit Check For Purchases.
--Sit back and enjoy.
Based on the WWDC announcements on 08-Jun, going forward, the solution will apparently be:
--Download it from iCloud.
Roaminggnome, you are simply wrong. Demonstrably, purchases on iTunes are not one and only copy--even more so now with the entire concept of iCloud, but even beforehand you could download apps many times if you had bought them and removed them from your iOS device. You'd think with all those discussion points, you'd troll less and actually give thought to responses more, but sometimes I say crazy things.

I downloaded some TV programmes last night and now Lost Season 4 has appeared as a download. I did not buy this (I didn't even look for it and don't want to be charged for it either.

What do I do to stop it happening? I wasn't even looking for Lost. Can anyone help me??? I haven't downloaded it yet.
Thanks!

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

I downloaded the trial acrobat professional and this is blocking me from updating adobe reader.

Does anyone know how I can get the adobe reader update?

So, you installed the trial of Acrobat Pro?
And used it for a month?
And the trial ran out?
And don't want to buy it?
But have left it on your system?
That's the problem. If you don't want to buy it, then uninstall the trial. (DON'T delete files, that won't help)

HT5312 i need to change my security questions holy **** it should not be this hard

seriously
what the ****

What problem are you having with the instructions on that page ? if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Downloading a trial - problem with the Adobe Download Assistant

Q: What is the Adobe Download Assistant?
A: Trial versions of Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Premiere Elements are downloaded using the Adobe Download Assistant — a small application that is meant to improve download reliability and avoid issues that commonly occur during large downloads, such as frequent disconnects. After the trial product is downloaded, Adobe Download Assistant should automatically start installing the product.
Q: I installed the Adobe Download Assistant, but my trial didn't download?
A: Under certain conditions, the Adobe Download Assistant installs but does not immediately start downloading the trial product. If this happens:
1. Quit the Adobe Download Assistant.
2. In your browser, return to the product trial download page on Adobe.com. Refresh the page, then click the Download now button again and follow the prompts.
Important: When you start the download, be sure to select your User folder or Desktop folder. A common cause of errors are due to attempts to download the Adobe Download Assistant to the Program Files/Applications folder. The Adobe Download Assistant only downloads the trial application files. Once the download is complete it will launch the application installer; when the installer is launched you can then choose to install the actual trial application into the Program Files/Application folder.
For more info, see
Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
or
Adobe Download Assistant FAQ
Q: I've have a problem on Windows 7. The download manager just sits there, and does nothing, even after I navigate back to the trial page. It turns out that you can't install Flash in the Programs folder. You have to pick a different folder for ADA to actually work?
A: You are correct, the Adobe Download Assistant does not have sufficient permission to save files to the Program Files folder. If you run the Adobe Download Assistant as an administrator, or save to a different location (for example, in your Users folder), this should resolve the issue.
Q: When I try and download the Creative Suite Design Premium the Download Assistant opens and I log in. On the top it says "Welcome, User" but on the bottom right below the action bar for the download it says "Sign in ith your Adobe ID to continue" and the action/download bar just sits there. I have quit and restarted numerous times and even left it running all night. Nothing is working though. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and see no error messages.
A: Try opening your browser by right-clicking in the start-programs menu and select "Run as Administrator".
Q: I am trying to download the Premiere trial version onto Windows. I had no issues installing Adobe Download Assistant, however when I tried to log in, it came up with error 100, claiming it could not communicate with the internet.
A: Many of the errors which forum users are experiencing with the download process is due to trying to download to the Program Files/Applications folder. This seems to cause Error 100, 101, 107, and even problems with being able to extract the install files after the download completes. The Adobe Download Assistant is only downloading the install files. Once the download is complete it will then launch the installer. Once the installer itself is launched you can then install to the Program Files/Application folder.
Q: I've tried everything and nothing works. I'm really frustrated and I don't know what else to do. How can I download a trial?
A: Another way to get trials of Adobe software is to sign-up for a Free Creative Cloud Membership. With Creative Cloud Membership you can download full, downloadable 30-day trials of all our CS6 Master Collection straight to your desktop, and store up to 2GB of files. Alternately, you can review http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 which provides information on how to obtain direct downloads.

I have suddenly become computer illiterate... that's the only conclusion I can draw from my total failure to install the Premiere Pro CS6 trial version for Mac.
Step1: I downloaded the Adobe Downloader Assistant installer and installed ADA in the default location (/Applications), which then was followed by said ADA launch. I logged in, selected PP and started a 2 hrs download of a 1.7 GB file.
Step2: I come back after a while and find a nice DVD icon on my Desktop, reading PP CS6: Great! I quit ADA and open that folder, to find another folder in it, with 3 subfolders and an "Install" application. Click on it. Nada. Reclick on it. Same + an error -1704 "can't open application".
Step3-30: I am cutting a long story short, but after reading all the support threads I could find, trying to reinstall ADA on my desktop, relog on the website, restart and cancel PP CS6 download a few times (without ADA noticing that there was already a 1.7 GB corresponding to that same file), and repeatedly failed to launch the install.app, I decided to act stupidely and remove all files and go to:
Step 31: reinstall ADA, re-download PP CS6.
Step 32: I waited after the install, nothing happened so I went to the new PP CS6 "DVD" and found the "install" app, which reliably did not start anything.
Step 33: I rebooted. After the reboot, the DVD was gone, replaced by an empty folder of the same name...
Step 34: me typing all this... I am using a 2011 iMac running Lion and Creative Suite CS 5.5. Thanks for any pointers...

New to CC - want to download a trial version but continuously getting an error message

Hi, I'm new to CC - want to download a trial version (of anything - illustrator, indesign or the complete package) but continuously getting a message "We are currently experiencing some issues, please try again later. If the problem persists, contact customer support."
I have spent quite a few hours simply trying to download a trial to see if this is the way I want to go. Is this "experiencing of some issues" a common problem? So far, it's been nothing but a hassle - I can't even get started and it leaves me wondering if there will be "some issues" on a regular basis that will in fact prevent me from working on files. Choosing the contact customer support option doesn't resolve this particular issue, nor does it lead me to an actual customer support.
Any advice warmly welcomed.

Surely It cannot be this hard! DPM 2012 R2 with Update rollup 2

I am close to giving up!
New to DPM but very experienced with networking/servers.
I installed DPM 2012 R2 and then installed rollup 2
I launch the DPM console, add some storage and then go to install the agent on a server - it fails
I get the standard message. When I check on the server I tried to install to I can see that the dpm 2012 r2 agent coordinator service was installed and running and listening on port 5719 but there is no DPMRA service.
So I perform a manual installation using the correct version from Rollup 2 on the server to be protected. This goes OK and I return to the DPM server to add the protected server. Made sure services were running on both servers, checkerd RPC, WMI, DCOM settings
and all seems OK but when I try to add the protected server from the DPM console using the attach agent option it fails with error 370.
Followed the top 20 suggestions, configured firewall for all ports on both servers. Tried turning the firewall off and still will not install.
I have also tried using a Hyper-V server, a physical server and none will work which tends to point to an issue with the DPM server.
The thing that puzzles me is that after I perform a manual agent installation on the protected server this seems to knock out the dpm 2012 r2 agent coordinator service which is no longer listed under services wheras DPMRA is running. I expected both services
to be installed and running.
When I perform a NETSTAT -a after installing the remote agent I can see port 5718 is listening but not port 5719
If I go back a step and try a dpm 2012 r2 agent coordinator install via DPM console (as part of adding the protected server) it does install dpm 2012 r2 agent coordinator and it listens on port 5719 but the DPMRA agent software is not installed.
I have tried deinstalling both the DPM agent software on the protected server and have even reinstalled DPM 2012 R2 with Rollup 2 with no change
I have verified communications between the servers. Checked the DPM server is in the relevant groups. Am at a complete loss on what to do next - it should not be this hard.
Can someone confirm to me that they expect both the dpm 2012 r2 agent coordinator service running on 5719 and the DPMRA service to be running on 5718 on the protected server which is what I assume but this
is not happening!
DPM server is a physical box running Server 2012. Protected server is a Physical box running Server 2012 R2. I have also tried with a physical server 2008R2 with the same results. I am not running Server 2003

After 3 long days trying everything I could think of and following all of the excellent guidance out there ( thanks guys) I have a workaround.
The answer was to make the dpm server computer account a member of the domain admins group.
After I restarted the DPM server I saw that although the protected server account was still in error - the error message changed from 270 to 316.
So I then add the protected server computer account to the domain admins group
After I restarted the computers I could see the magic OK in the status of the DPM console.
As an experiment I removed the protected servers computer account from domain admins and restarted the server. After the restart DPM could no longer communicate with error 316 again.
So I tried adding the DPM server computer account to the protected servers local administrators group but this did not work.
Deeply unhappy with making a computer account a member of domain admin group but it works.
The question is why? There is obviously a security permissions issue that does not affect domain admins.
I am running this on freshly built servers on a simple, single domain.
Microsoft you need to look into this.

The latest versions of InDesign will not run on XP. Here is a link to a page that lists the system requirements for most versions of InDesign. As you will see CS6 will run on XP and is still being sold if you would like to try that out.
