Reinstallation of PSE 11.0 trial

Hello. I tried installing PSE 11.0 trial on my laptop ( I already have 9.0). The operating system is Windows 7.0 premium home edition. During the install I got a roll back - I'm guessing that it occured because I didn't have an internet connection on my laptop ( I used the folder from the installation on my main computer). I attempted to stop the rollback and ultimately crashed my laptop. When I went to reinstall again - the installer tried to finish the uninstall but created an error when encountering an empty file and stoped everything. I deleted all the folders and files I could find for 11.0 as well as any registry entries. I am still getting an uninstall attempt when using the set-up file. I would guess it is a registry entry that did not contain 'elements 11.0' that I did not delete. Does anyone know how to get a complete uninstall manually so that I can finally install 11.0 to evaluate. I appreciate any help I can get with this. Thanks

You may possibly have an outstanding Windows update which is ready to be applied. I would recommend you check Windows update to make sure you have no updates pending and then try restarting the computer. If you continue to face difficulties please see Install rollback | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/install-rollback-photoshop-elements-windows.h tml.

PSE 8 - upgrading trial to licensed

1. Is there somewhere I can key in the license without waiting for it to ask me?
I couldn't find it.
2. Now when I right click + Edit with Elements it says I could enter a license, but this is some type of fricken' lie.
First, I bought Elements 8, so now I have a license because it sent me an e-mail.
But the window asking for S/N doesn't stay up. I try to Alt Tab over to another window and curiously the S/N window goes away.
I try editing again after I get the e-mail and writing the number on paper and then try to enter it in. It doesn't like it.
So I download Photoshop Elements 8 LS8 exe file and it companion 7z file (and the rebate coupon while I'm at it).
Does entering the s/n work now? No such luck.
So what gives? Do I have to wait for some magical DB update? If so, there ought to be a warning or two about possible delays.
Do I have to install the "better" download (my original is PhotoshopElements_8_WWEFDJ.7z and was 485 KB larger).
It would seem if I am presented with a dialogue for entering a S/N it ought to take an S/N unless it warns me otherwise.
How do I get from Trial to Licensed given that entering the S/N doesn't work?

Hi Paul,
Unlike PSE7, now the serialization screen comes only on launching PSE Editor. So whenever you will try to EDIT any photo a serialization screen will come giving you 2 options: 1. Continue running in trial for the remaining period out of 30 days. 2) Enter the serial number in the boxes.
I believe you are trying to enter serial number in these boxes and something is going wrong. Could you please explain it again on what exactly is happening? Are you not able to type in the serial number in these boxes OR the serial number even after entering correctly is showing a Red Cross OR that after entering the serial number no information as such is displayed saying your copy has now been converted in licensed version?
Sorry for sounding confused but i didnt get the clear picture from below post.

Ankush

Problems with PSE for Mac Trial - Downloaded it and cannot find it

I am fairly computer savvy, but new to Mac. I had PSCS2 on my old PC and with the conversion to Mac I was going to go for PSE8 (since a lot of the things I use PS for weren't available in PSE when I bought CS2, but are now available with PSE8). I downloaded the free trial (bc I wanted to compare it to CS), but cannot figure out how to launch it.
I know. I"m an idiot. Can anyone help?

Sorry, but I'm confused by the discrepancy between your thread title and the body of your post. Do you mean you don't know where the download went? It should have gone into your downloads folder, which is usually able to be accessed as a stack in the dock if you haven't removed it from there. If you have, open a finder window and click on your username>downloads.

Install problems with PSE 8 free trial

I downloaded the free trial of PSE 8 from the Adobe site to my new computer running with VISTA. I then was told I needed to unzip so I successfully downloaded a Winzip program which, as I guess is supposed to free up these large files. I can't figure out what to do next. When I go into the Winzip program, I see a bunch of unzipped files that, taken together, add up to about a 1.1 GB large download which is what PSE 8 is. How do I proceed to install so I can finally get to the program? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Ankush
1. Download successful
2. Launch EXE - no UAC, no AV, run as administrator
3. As extraction reaches 100% a failure error displays (step 2 image below)
4. Never actually get to start PSE installation. If the setup.exe file is run another error shows. Interestingly, setup.ini is empty 0 bytes.
My take is that the file for download is corrupt the .7z, possibly by the download manager or maybe in extraction.
What is very weird is that this has happened on both an old Vista install and now a fresh W7 (64bit) Pro install.
Could it be machine related? Maybe, but it would have to be a hardware conflict of some sort ...

PSE-8 No Trial Expiration of Organizer Only....

I have seen it mentined in the PSA (Photoshop Album) forum, that since PSA is going to be discontinued the Organizer portion of PSE-8 will NOT expire after the trial period ends. So.....
Is this only open to current users of PSA, or can even current owners of other versions of PSE take "advantage" of this offer?
How much advertising "abuse" er, rather, continued advertising, (nag messaging) will be connected with the installation?
Would it actually be worthwhile to "subject" your computer to PSE-8 in the first place?

Is this only open to current users of PSA, or can even current owners of other versions of PSE take "advantage" of this offer?
A couple of Adobe employees have posted here that the Organizer in the PSE 8 30-day trial does not expire and that thus the Organizer is "free". They didn't mention anything about this be limited to upgrades from previous versions, and PSE has never had such checks in its registration or activiation. So I'd bet that anyone who gets the trial will be able to use the Organizer indefinitely.   I'd like to see someone post authoritatively on this issue -- I certainly wouldn't completely trust the Adobe employees' comments, based on the quality of their contributions here (except for Bob Gage, the product manager).
I'm seriously wondering if PSE 8 will be the last version of the Organizer. Adobe has been radically reducing its investment in the Organizer the last several years, moving development offshore to save costs, not fixing most bugs, adding just a few cosmetic features for marketing purposes, etc. (Note that there are world-class engineers offshore, including India, but when a company like Adobe moves development offshore to save costs, they're almost by definition getting low-quality engineering.) And in PSE 8, Adobe has done some curious things with the Organizer: Renaming it to "Elements Organizer", separating the installation folders, separating the user guides, renaming the commands that invoke the editor. Well-placed rumors from inside Adobe continue to suggest that the company is moving away from consumer products back to its core, products for professionals. Is this unbundling of the Organizer in preparation of trying to sell it or terminate it?
How much advertising "abuse" er, rather, continued advertising, (nag messaging) will be connected with the installation?
The PSE Welcome screen presents annoying marketing for Adobe products but not advertising for other companies or products. It's easy to avoid the Welcome screen by making shortcuts direclty to the Organizer, and the Welcome screen doesn't provide any functionality that isn't easily accessible elsewhere.
Would it actually be worthwhile to "subject" your computer to PSE-8 in the first place?
If you have an early version of PSA or PSE, I definitely recommend upgrading to a later version, PSE 6 or later. Two reasons:
- If you anticipate staying with the PSE Organizer, then each newer version of PSE makes it harder to upgrade from PSA. As it is now, many users of PSA find they first have to convert their catalog to PSE 5 (using a free 30-day trial that is time-limited) and then to PSE 8. Adobe has made no effort to help such users convert.   Each year that goes by makes it less likely you'll be able to upgrade.
- If you anticipate moving out of the PSA/PSE Organizer world, then you'll need to have all the metadata from the catalog (tags, albums, captions, notes, dates, star rating, etc.) written into the photos so that other programs can read it.   All versions of PSA/PSE have significant bugs, which strike some users more than others depending on your cameras, scanners, and workflow. With PSE 6 and later, you can use my utility psedbtool to get all that metadata correctly written to the photos (and optionally into text files), making it much more likely you won't lose data.   Unfortunately, psedbtool doesn't work with earlier versions.

Only 5 background pages available? PSE 5.0 Trial

I wanted to try PSE 5.0 out before making my purchase. One of the things that is important to me is that there be oodles of background pages and graphics to choose from. I only see five background pages. Is this because it is a trial version? If so, how can I get the true picture?

Yes, it's not clear at all what you mean. The only thing I can think of that is about that limited is the number of canned background slides in the Slideshow Editor.
Colin is correct that there is no difference between the features of the trial and the purchased program.

Pse 9.0 Trial Help

So far, I've downloading Pse 9.9 two times, but it will not work properly. I open up the organizer, select a photo to edit, click on the option 'Edit Photos', and the Editor opens. After a few quick moments, and error message pops up, saying 'PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close', and precedes to do so. This happened in a straight 30 times. When this occurred, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but it still does this. I'm sorry, but if more detail is needed, I'll need to be asked specifically what I'm not saying properly or at all. Does anybody know the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Problem installing PSE 8 free trial - Power Archiver error

Hi,
I've been trying to download the 30 day free trial of Photoshop Elements 8.
The Akamai Download was successful, both the .exe and the .7z file completed 100% and have been saved to the same folder.
When I try to launch the .exe file I get the following error message:
"An error occurred while opening Power Archiver 7-zip SFX."
I would be very grateful if anyone could tell me what I need to do to complete the installation process.
Thanks in advance for your help,
N

Hi,
It seems to me as the problem with the Adobe web download...there have been cases where other users have reported problem with running the downloaded files, but there issue got resolved in a day or two. I believe you must have already reported the issue on the tech support or customer support. If not, please do that. Otherwise< i would just request you to try again after a day or so and it should get working as sometimes web team themselves figure out the issue and they fix it before anyone reporting them to the support team.
So sorry that you have been running into these issue, preventing you from using the product.
Regards,
Ankush

Reinstallation of pse 5.0

I had to get a new computer and I had my files transferred to the new one. After installing pse 5 when I tried to bring up the catalogue it freeze's up on me and I have to shut my computer down and bring it back up again just to use other programs. I had around 2,000 pictures already on my computer and am using XP could any one help me with this?
Thanks

There might be some file due to which the organizer is hanging. Make a new catalog and then import the images in a new catalog. If the new catalog also freezes then there might be some corrupted file. Probably there might be some video file due to which it is happening.

PSE instal & iPhoto 11 probe

Hi there
I have just installed PSE on a trial on my Mac running Lion & OSX 10.7.5 with a 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5
I am trying to get PSE to talk to Iphoto 11 but I am having no luck.
All the drop down choices for importing from iPhoto do not relate and vica versa.
I thought that there would be a dropdown for iPhoto in Prefs> General but nothing exists there.
In PSE File>Import it only says Frame from Video
Doesnt sound as if it installed properly
What should I do ?
Many thanks
Steve

No, that's fine. Do you understand that you can't treat the iphoto library like any normal folder? That library is for iphoto's own use and you should never, never poke around in it from outside iphoto. That's the fastest way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos, so PSE won't go there.
So you have two choices:
1. Set PSE as your external editor in the iphoto prefs and send the photos from iphoto. Save, not Save As (you may need to set the editor preferences>saving files>on first save to Save Over Existing to make this work) and iPhoto will remember your last edited version and the original, although you have to lose the edits to get back to the original.
If you decide to do this, the actual PSE editor is in Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files. The one at the top level of the PSE folder is just an alias for the welcome screen.
2. Export the photos from iphoto, edit the copies, make any changes to name, format, etc, that you like, and import the edited copies as new files.

I am using Elements 12 trial on an old windows 7 PC and wish to purchase the license. If I upgrade to a Mac OSX in the near future, will I have to repurchase the license?

If you think you want to use PSE on both platforms buy the boxed version, which comes with a serial number that works in both. Downloads have single-platform serial numbers. But at this time of year I don't think I'd buy PSE till the trial runs out.
