Should I uninstall downloaded trial version first?

I have Photoshop CS installed on a G5, and purchased boxed versions of Photoshop CS4 Upgrade and Lightroom 2 Full for a new MacBook Pro. Prior to the boxed versions arriving, I downloaded trial versions of both on the MacBook Pro.
When the boxed versions arrive, is there any reason to unstall both trial versions first rather than just entering the serial numbers on the trial versions downloaded? Are there any extra things that will install during a typical install from the boxed versions that were not downloaded for the trial version installation?
Thanks,
John

Thanks for both answers.
I did call Customer Service, and the rep said I could do either, and could not elaborate on any advantages either way, so I had the impression she was not knowledgable in this.
I think I read somewhere on the site that the trial version could be converted to a full version by entering the serial number, which led to my question.
Anyway, I will follow both your suggestions and completely uninstall the trial versions when I receive the media.
Thanks again,
John

Should I uninstall PE8 trial version before instaling PE8 ?

Just wondering what is the reccomended way to install PE8 after previously installing the trail version.
Should I uninstall the trial version and re-install PE8, or just enter my license info to the trial version ?
I thought the boxed version has some additional templeates etc that are not in the trial version.

There is nothing in the disc version of the program that is not in the trial download, mk. (Even the extra templates are available as a download.)
But that said, it certainly wouldn't hurt to uninstall it and install the disc version anyway. Sometimes a re-installation to fix some things that didn't take on the first installation.

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.

Should I Uninstall The Old Version First?

I am about to purchase and install ID4. The previous user had installed ID3. Do I need to remove/uninstall that version first, before I install ID4?
What about the trial version of ID4......should I uninstall that before I install the full package?

Thank You.
Anything special I need to know about bringing older ID3 files in to ID4? Does ID4 "convert" the files to the newer version?
If so, does that mean that they can never be saved again as ID3 files? There is nothing I can do to work my files in ID4, but save them as ID3 files so someone else can open them? We do have a couple three other machines that still have ID3. We cant afford to upgrade all machines to ID4. We can definitely do one copy of ID4, with luck the other person can buy a second copy of ID4, but after that the remaining machines are stuck with ID3.

Do I need to uninstall my trial version of lr 4.4

My trial version is up in a few days and I've planing to buy a cd version from a local store. My question is should I uninstall the trial version before installing the new one?

No, the trial version is identical to the purchased version in every aspect other than the time limitation. Besides, the boxed version will probably be LR 4.0 and then need to be updated. To cancel the time limit simply supply the registration key from the back of the box in Help/Registration.

Problem downloading trial version of Lightroom 4

I am trying to download the trial version of Lightroom 4 for Windows (English), but nothing happens when I click on the "Download" button. This is very weird. I am a current user of PSE 10, and I would like to see if I should also get Lightroom 4, because I find that the Organizer in PSE is too slow, and hope that Lightroom would be much better from comments I read on the Internet.

Thanks. It worked with Google Chrome, but was not working with Internet Explorer.

When you click Download, the download should start automatically. It could be that a pop-up/download blocker/anti-virus is preventing the download. As a first step, you could try using a different web browser to download from the following link: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_lightroo m

How can i uninstall the trial version of illustrator off my computer (mac)?

I'd like to be able to uninstall the trial version of illustrator off of my mac, so that i can redownload it and actually try it, as i didn't get a chance to trial it the first time!
Help Please!!

cara,
Unfortunately, you can only download a trial version once, no matter whether you used it much, little, or not at all. It only puts the application at your disposal with no tracing of your possible use.
Back in January or thereabouts, a fresh start was made so you could download a second trial, but no trial since then is repeatable.

How to uninstall a trial version of Adobe Pre Elements 11 if I already bought one at the App Store?

I installed a trial version of Adb Pre Elements 11, then bought the same app at the AppStore. I want to uninstall the trial version without affecting the one purchased. Please, what's the procedure?

Sapriil
Here is my take on your situation.
If you have the Premiere Elements 11 Mac tryout on your computer and it was downloaded from Adobe, you do not have the same program from the Mac Store under the name Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac Only). This Mac Store version of the program comes without the Elements Organizer 11.
So, I would review the wisdom of plugging a Mac Store purchased serial number into your Adobe tryout under the circumstances. I am not on firm ground here. But, if it is I suspect and you want what you purchased, then consider uninstalling the Adobe tryout and installing what you purchased from the Mac Store with the serial number that the Mac Store gives you.
I would ask Steve Grisetti to double check on this point before you proceed with the computer setup.
Did you realize that the Elements Organizer was not a part of the Mac Store version?
More later.
Thanks for the follow up.

Trouble downloading trial version of PSE 10 onto MacMini

I purchased PSE 10 software to install on my mac mini OSX 10.8.1. When I put the disc into my external drive, the software does not begin installing. I was told to try to download trial version from Adobe and later, enter my Key Code to install software this way. I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant just fine but am getting Error 109 when I try to download the trial version. My network connection is fine and my disk is brand new. Please help.

Troubleshoot Adobe Download Assistant
And make sure you use the right disc (Disc 3) in the first place. Macs also do not autorun, so you need to launch the installer manually.

Question: I have just taken delivery of my LR5 disc. I had already downloaded the trial version. I just tried entering the serial number from my hard copy to authorise my downloaded trial version and it did not recognise the serial number. So, I loaded the hard copy, and the instructions said that it would just overwrite the downloaded version. And again it will not recognise my serial number! I am not wanting to uninstall the trial version as I have already got quite a lot of personal preferences entered etc. Help please. I am on a macbook pro with latest OS

Why is it taking 3 hours to download trial version of photoshop, elements 10?

I am trying to download trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 and it saya it will take 3 hours to download. Why does it take so long? I thought the days of long downloads were like the dinosaurs, a thing of the past.

I am the author of above post, and I want adobe to be aware that I have uninstalled their product and will not be considering any products to be purchased from them. I spent several hrs. last night and all day today watching hour after hour of tutorials on the elements program and was still unable to complete a single project. I phoned support. Their return call was 3 hrs later than they said it would be and then they hung up before I even spoke to a CS rep.or support tech. You want the money, Adobe, but ypou don't want to put a user friendly program on the market, nor do want to make sure that sufficent support is out there for those of us brave enough or stupid enough to actually try to master your products. I WILL NOT, EVER, CONSIDER PURCHASING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN. Just to get to a forum or tutoria, which are not thurough, takes a miricale and several hours.

Try Trial Version First?

I have version 1.0 & 1.5... Didn't like either so I removed it. Now since there is a new 2.0 version I would like to download the trial version first before giving more money for inferior software. So two questions: If you have the new version was it worth it? And would I need to remove the trial version and then install my purchased version before upgrading? THANKS

Here are some answers for you.
1. Yes the upgrade is worth it. They have tripled the speed and stability of 1.5. Importing photos is quicker and the thumbnail generation is speedy as well.
2. No, basically the trail version is the full working version. Once an approved unlock key is entered it activated the software and opens up some features that are not working in the trail like Vault migration.
Hope this helps.

I have OSX 10.7.5, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

I have OSX 10.7.5 on my imac, my idvd is not working correctly. Should I re-download this version again , do you think that it will help to improve the idvd operation?

First, iDVD is not and never has been part of OS X. If iDVD is not working correctly, then you should investigate possible problems with that application, support files, preferences, or cache.
Of course you can always reinstall OS X if you wish:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
