Registering the trial version as an upgrade purchase

I have LR V2 and downloaded the trial version of V3. If I want to purchase the upgrade version, would I just purchase that, get the serial #, and when I enter that # in the trial registration area, will it know that is an upgrade serial # and then prompt me for my LR V2 serial #? Or, will I have to uninstall the trial and download/install the upgrade version?
Thanks!

There is no difference from the trial version and the "real" version other than entering a serial number.
If you already had LR2 installed, then installed LR3 and entered the serial number, it will probably not ask for your LR2 serial. Depending on how you uninstalled LR2, that is.
Bottom line, you should be fine without uninstalling/installing.
Cheers!

Upgrade trial version using code from purchased discs?

I recently purchased the adobe photoshop elements 12 & adobe premiere elements 12 package. When I tried to load the software onto my computer, it wouldn't work. I purchased the software from Amazon and they suggested (before returning the software) that I try downloading the trial versions and use the code from my discs to upgrade to the full version. Is this possible?

It is worth a try - normally it will work....
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

Purchased a Trial Version of FormsCentral, then purchased the full Version, will it affect my forms?

I am just making sure that it will not affect my forms once the trial version expires (i turned off auto renewal). I did purchase the full version for 14.99 a month and kept that on auto renewal, so as of right now if you look at my services it says I have 2 products, one trial version and one full version. Once the trial expires, do I just wait until the full version auto renews? I dont think I should have any issues with my forms or anything but just want to make sure ahead of time, so I do not loose all the work I put into making these forms. Thank you
Oliya

Hi;
I'm a little confused buy the "says I have 2 products" part but assuming the AdobeID (email address used for the account) is the same for both instances of the paid subscription then you should be OK. You will not lose any forms, nothing would be deleted, but if something does go funny with the "upgrade" and your account is ever not behaving like a paid account let me know and I will make sure it gets straightened out.
Thanks,
Josh

Get a refund from where you bought and buy the correct version

I had a trial version of Pages for 30 days and then purchased the actual software without removing the trial. Now when I try to edit documents and save them it wont because it tells me I am using a trial version.... How can I remove the trial version?

Go to my iDisk (address below)

Run it then reinstall the purchased software.

The trial version of Acrobat Pro is already on my computer; purchased it today; instructions say access through cloud.acrobat but the system keeps telling me to download. I just want to work. Do I really need to download again?

Hi lynnb,
If you already have Acrobat installed, there's no need to download it again. When you launch Acrobat, you should be given an option to "License this Software." Click that option, and then log in with your Adobe ID and password, and you should be all set!
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

There are no keys, there is no trial version of OSX (ML or Mavericks) and Mavericks is free
What have you downloaded, and where did you get it

I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

I have the trial version of LR5, do I need to buy full version or just the upgrade?

If you have a paid-up version of LR4 or earlier, you can pay for an upgrade licence. When you install LR and it asks for a licence, if you give it an upgrade licence then it will ask for the previous licence that you're upgrading.

Should I uninstall the trial version of Elements 10 before installing all of the discs I purchased?

Should I uninstall the Trial Version of Elements 10 before installing all of the new discs that I purchased on line? I do not have anything to save on the Trial Version. I do not want to run two programs simultaneously.

You do not need to uninstall. You can choose to enter the serial number for the released product.

I ordered a licence for the trial version of Elements 12 to upgrade from 11.

I ordered an upgrade licence for the trial version of Elements 12 and the confirmation says it is for Windows. I am sure I ordered for Mac (which is all I run). The serial number is invalid when I enter it which I presume is because the platform is wrong. How can I exchange the serial number for the Mac version?

Yes that can be useful as you are permitted two activations. I have PSE installed on my Windows PC and my Macbook Pro

Converting the trial version to purchased

I want to convert my trial version of APE. I purchased the software from the adobe store and have been emailed a serial number which i am told to enter in software settings. Where is this? I see no place to enter the serial number when I load APE
Thanks for any help

when I load APE I get a screen headed Premiere Elements 4 which asks me for a new project or saved project.
This is very odd. Does Photoshop Elements show PSE 10, or 4?
What is shown for Help About, in PrE? Does that also say Premiere Elements 4?
As far as the Project file (the PREL), installation, uninstall, etc., should not affect that, but you can certainly make a Copy of that PREL file for safe keeping elsewhere.
Remember, the trial version will add a watermark to the Exported/Shared file. This FAQ Entry will tell you how to remove that watermark, when you get the full-paid version running with your S/N, and then go to Export/Share that Timeline afterwards.
Good luck,
Hunt

If I purchase FCPX can I retrieve my work from the trial version?

If I purchase FCPX, can I retrieve my work from the trial version?

Thanks for the response! Let me be more specific. So...even though the trial has expired, I can still retrieve my project once I purchase FCPX? Thanks in advance!

I just purchased Photoshop cc when I open it - it states it is the trial version - It didn't give me the license for the software - how do I get it?

Fonts went missing when I upgraded from the trial version (mac)

I'd been happily working away in a file using ID CC with no problems whatsoever when my trial period expired. A couple of days later, I purchased a subscription, then opened ID back up and opened up the exact same file.
When I reopened the file, it told me that all my fonts were missing, and it was going to replace them with Minion Pro (no thanks).
I checked fontbook and confirmed that those fonts are, in fact, all installed on my computer. (Even though I was sure they were because I'd been successfully using them shortly before.) I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. I also tried closing and reopening the document, and shutting down the program, as well as shutting down my computer. Nothing has made any difference. Trying to find the fonts in preflight hasn't helped at all.
The problem is not that my fonts aren't installed, it's that ID stopped recognizing them, even though they are installed, when I switched from the trial version to a subscription.
I haven't found anyone else with quite this same problem.
Any ideas?

I meant do you have a third-party font manager, and I see the answer is no.
And the font's don't appear inthe font list, or Find Font, at all?
If that's the case I might sayt it's time to uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.
