Switching from trial to paid version

I've been using the trial version for several days. I purchased Audition at the University where I work and where we have volume licensing.
How do I switch? Do I uninstall the trial version? How do I keep the configuration changes I've made?

Uninstallation is required, I believe, but just make sure that you select the uninstall option that allows you to keep your user preferences. They'll be found again when the permanent copy is installed.

Switch from trial to paid account

Dear all,
I run an IT company in Italy and need to edit images with Adobe Illustrator for a client of mine. So I asked a collaborator of mine to activate a trial account for Illustrator CC 17 and he started the work. At the end of the 30 days, we decided that it was worth using Illustrator and decided to buy a single app Creative Cloud account.
I created an account with my email and subscripted a 1 month plan for Illustrator, giving my credit card.
After that, I gave the account data to the guy in the company which has to do the actual job with Illustrator on his PC.
The problem is that even after uninstalling his trial and downloading from the CC website, with my account, the installed Illustrator program tells him that he has 0 days left for the trial.
I have two hypotheses:
1- since my credit card will not be billed until 30 days from the subscription, maybe it still is a trial version, and it is already expired on his PC?
2- or, maybe, even if he logs with the "paid" account on CC, his illustrator is somehow bound to his former personal account, in which the trial has expired
Either way, I have no idea on how to solve the problem. Any suggestions would be useful.
Thank you for reading. Best Regards,
Martin Bechtle

I am having a similar issue.
I had the trial version of Creative Cloud, but since updating to the paid version, when I try and open Photoshop CC it asks for a serial number. I have been searching the internet all afteroon but am yet to find a solution. Can anybody help?

Changing from trial to paid version of LR4

I'm currently using the trial version of Lightroom 4. Do I need to Re-install the software when I get my paid copy in the mail?

No. It is the same program. And, if you have done the updates so that you are now using version 4.2, you have a newer version installed than will be on the disk. When you start Lightroom and the first screen appears, just indicate that you have a serial number. You will be presented with dialog that will allow you to enter the serial number that will be part of the package you are expecting to receive. Once you have entered the number you will have a fully registered legal copy of the program.

Upgrading from trial to paid

Hi,
I just upgraded from trial to paid (final cut pro x)
I thought it would just unlock the trial version, but instead it started downloading the 1.51 GB file again
(I clicked the buy button from the trial, it appeared to try to open the app store, but didn't,
so I opened it, searched and bought)
My questions are:
1) Is there some way to just update the trial so I don't have to wait for this download
2) Biggest one, is wil my files from the trial be accessible?
I had 2 projects I put a lot of time into in there
Thanks

Your existing Projects and Events will still be there when the paid version is installed and you can carry on editing them if you wish.
As far as I know, you have to wait for it to reinstall - which is curious because Apple claim the versions are identical.

How do I switch from trial version of CC to paid version?

I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CC and used it for a while and have decided to get the paid version. After giving my credit card information, it wants to download and install Photoshop CC. Am I supposed to let that happen? I thought I would just get a registration code.

No, you do not get a serial number with Creative Cloud. Simply download,install and sign in with your Adobe ID and password that you gave your credit info to.

How to switch from Trial version of CC apps to Full version purchased for me.

I recently joined a new company. First day on the job, I downloaded trial versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop only to find out that the company had purchased a subscription for Creative Cloud for me. How do I get off the trial versions and onto the full versions?

Hi avgjoe62,
You can simply use the email address used to purchase the subscription to license the software from trial version.
The subscription is linked to the Adobe ID (email address).

Switching from Trial to Full Member

I just switched my acount from trial version of Adobe Cloud, to a full member. I would like to access my apps, but for some reason, the ones that had expired from the trial version are still unavailable. What do I have to do to make them available now?

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, let AAM reinstall.

Lightroom: upgrade from trial to full version, how to enter license key?

I installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud (CC) trial on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. The version is LR 5.6. I do not want CC, so I purchased the full version of LR on DVD. I was going to reinstall LR from the DVD, but see that it is only version 5.2. I have already done a fair amount of work with the trial LR 5.6 and am worried about losing the catalog that I have created.
So I thought I could apply the full version license key to the trial install, but there is no place to do that within LR. When I bring up the CC master application it shows that I have 5 days left with LR, but still has no way to apply a license key.
I had a very long and frustrating chat session with tech support. In the end I was advised to uninstall the trial, then install the full version. I might be able to download LR 5.6 full and simply install that.
So let me summarize my questions:
Is there any way to apply the license key for standalone full version of LR to the trial version that was installed using CC?
If I uninstall trial version, will I be able to install LR 5.6 download and apply license key?
If I cannot install from download and instead have to install from purchased DVD, will version 5.2 be able to import the existing catalog? Will subsequent upgrade(s) to 5.6 go smoothly?
What about the catalog? Will the existing catalog simply be found during a new installation? Or do I have to manually import?
I've found the community help in the LR forum to be very good - and that is why I am abandoning ACDSee after many years Thank you all for your help.

You should just uninstall what you have installed for LR 5.x, now, then download and install the LR 5.6 update from the Adobe Updates page, and enter your standalone serial number, and things should pick up where you left off.
You might want to go into LR’s preferences (if LR is still opening for you) and see where the catalog (.lrcat) file actually resides on your computer in case you have a problem and have to double-click on that .lrcat file to open your catalog, but my experience is that nothing will seem different after you’ve installed the new version other than the version number will be newer. The preferences, catalog, and pictures are somewhere different than where the program is installed so uninstalling and reinstalling shouldn’t affect any of it.
LR 5.6 update is here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
FYI, the CC-LR is licensed by logging into CC, the standalone version is licensed by entering a serial number. That is why you have to uninstall the CC_licensed version and install the non-CC-licensed version.
It also probably wouldn’t mess anything up to install LR 5.2 from the DVD, but then you’d have to turn around and immediately download the LR 5.6 update, anyway, and it would waste time, so why not start with the latest update. The update is a fully function program, not a patch to an existing program. It’ll either find your existing licensing information if you’ve already entered the serial number or ask for a serial number if it doesn’t find anything—which sounds like your situation.

Move from Trial to Full version

Have the FIM trial installed. Using it to migrate accounts from one Domain to Another.
We purchased the Full version.
How can i move from Trial to Full. Any docs on this ? need to make sure nothing happens to migration or i go on unemployment line :)

Should be enough to upgrade sync service to your licensed version. Remember to backup configuration and encryption key.

Switching from Spanish to UK version of apps store?

I bought an ipad and first used it in Spain. It is wifi only and connected to the Spanish version of the apps store. Now I am back in the UK, I cannot get it to switch back to the UK version. Any ideas?

Are you logged in with your iTunes account via Settings > Store ?
If your iTunes account is registered as being in Spain then you will get the Spanish version of the store. If you have no balance on your account then you should be able to change the address/country on your account by tapping your account in Settings > Store and going into View Apple ID

Advice needed to switch from Trial WS2012 to live version.

Hi,
I'm new to Windows Server OS & powershell, but facing a problem now.
With my trial WS2012 R2 as DC & AD, I've converted one of my client PCs from Win7 workgroup to domain.
Now I've prepared my actual WS2012 R2 in a new PC, with every setting the same as the trial version (Computer ID, domain name & IP). And added the client PC into the domain again. Thinking of a quick change over.
Just when I thought it can be easily done with a 1-to-1 replacement, my client PC created another new account when links to actual WS2012. With same domain and username again, but in another folder.
Now in my Client Win7, I have under Users folder:
1. Orginal account folder for workgroup: MyName folder.
2. After converting to domain in Trial WS2012: new MyName.MyDomain account folder.
3. After replacing to actual WS2012: another new MyName.MyDomain.000 account folder created. And files from MyName.MyDomain folder are not accessible.
Why doesn't it link up with MyName.MyDomain account folder?
I don't wish to convert the trial WS2012 to live because it was installed in an old hard disk.
I wonder will migration procedure helps. Any advice to resolve it? Thanks.

You stated in your original post that you created a new domain with all the settings the same as what you created in your original domain. That really does not make any difference because you created a new domain. Each new domain creates a new
identity. If you wanted to have everything remain the same, what you should have done was build your second server, join it to the existing domain, promote it to a Domain Controller. When it becomes a domain controller, all the information in the
existing domain is replicated to any new domain controller. After the replication completes (in your environment it would be done almost immediately), you can remove the original domain controller. At that point, your PC would have been able to
log into the exact same account as you did with the second installation and you would not have ended up with a third profile.
As for recovery of a failed server, that's what backups are for. You can use a backup tool, such as Windows Server Backup that comes as part of the operating system, to create an offline backup of your domain controller. Recommendation is to
keep this up to date; that is, take regular backups.
A second method is to have at least two servers in your environment running as domain controllers. This generally applies to shops that have more than a single server. That way if one Domain Controller goes down, the other one remains to service
requests. It does not preclude the need to take backups.

Moving from flash CC trial to paid version

I installed a trial version of Flash CC - it has now expired. I joined the Creative Cloud single-app membership for Flash Professional (one-year) - I was presented with a download button, this evoked my Creative cloud, the Flash CC instance now read Update - upon Update it then read Update failed. The trial version (as it had expired) is now requesting a Serial - I ask Adobe for a serial, they can't supply one even though the trial version now requests one.
So, I can't update the Creative Cloud instance and I don't have a serial even though I have purchased a Creative Cloud single-app membership for Flash Professional (one-year)
I uninstalled it, thinking I could then download from the link I was given upon purchasing. This then launched Creative Cloud, my Flash CC instance is still there (even though I uninstalled it) with Update failed next to it - Retry fails
So, I can't install Flash CC now even though I have purchased it - so frustrating, giving up, no doubt this will cost me £17.58 per month whether it works or not - nice one @Adobe

After I switch from trial version to official, my AE crashes during start process

Hello! I purchased the official version last night but when I launch it from creative cloud, the AE crashed. I took the pictures. It shows crash occurs while invoking plug-in "AEDynamic link server". It is weird because my trial version works very well. I didn't install any software recently but the official version has problem. I don't know what should I do now.

I followed this thread fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications | After Effects region of interest But it doesn't work for me.

Converting PM from trial to full version

I had asked in another thread whether I could download and install the current tryout version of PM, and then use my old serial number from a PM 7 upgrade I had registered with Adobe back in 2002. I was under the impression this process would work for InDesign, or at least since ID required "activation," but PM dates to another era and my memory is not that good. No one answered, so I went ahead and installed the Tryout, and can now report that the Tryout version does not allow conversion to the full version by adding a valid serial number; in fact, the Tryout installs itself in a special Tryout folder, suggesting that it expects to be un-installed before the full version is installed.
I kept searching through old stuff and eventually turned up my original PM 7.0 CD -- an upgrade -- but not the carton it came in. I uninstalled the tryout, installed PM7.0, and found that because it was an upgrade I needed a valid serial number from an earlier PM. The only serial number on Adobe's cardboard sleeve for my PM6.5 Plus was for the bundled Photoshop, but having registered my purchase with Adobe I could still retrieve the number, a string of 15 digits. PM 7 upgrade rejected this, as well as the 15-digit serial number for PM5 (not to mention the PS serial number from my PM6.5 CD).
I had done a cautious un-install of the tryout: when the un-install process said there were elements that might possibly be shared with other programs, I let it preserve those lest I disrupt the CS2 software I still use occasionally. After my valid serial numbers were rejected, I threw caution to the wind and re-installed the tryout so I could zap it completely. Not surprisingly, the re-installed tryout found traces of its previous incarnation, reporting I had just 7 days remaining in my 30-day trial (I thought I'd started the day with 8). I un-installed again, this time telling it to take everything. I then tried installing my PM7 upgrade again, and this time it accepted the serial number from my PM5 carton: the same 15 digits preserved in Adobe's registration, but this time broken up by hyphens, NN-NNNN-NNNNNNNNN. I think I had tried the hyphen-less version first, and thus that the hyphens made the difference, though they key may have been the complete un-install.
A quick test of suggests IDCS2 is happy as ever on my XP machine. Perhaps I should add that I have carefully avoided upgrading the OS to XP SP3, dimly recalling that SP3 can complicate ID's ability to read PM files. For what its worth, I turned up the box for my Mac PM6 which shows the serial number as a single string of 14 alphanumerics, two of which are letters.

InDesign CS2 will not be able to open PM files on XP SP3, Vista, or Win 7.

From trial to full version?

Hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Adobe Acrobat XL Pro trial version has expired and I wanted to upgrade it. There was a "buy" button and from that point everything got very confusing. I can choose to buy a full version for 6371sek (unsure of whats included in this) or upgrade 2730sek (upgrade from what? trial? and what do I get?). What way do I go to get exactly what I experienced in the trial version, with form central included? Appreciate all help.

The Acrobat Pro XI (11) upgrade is a special price for people who own Acrobat Pro X (10) or Acrobat Pro 9. It will not install for anyone who does not already own the older software.
(I am not sure if Form Central requires a separate subscription -- see this page https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en_GB/landing/axifcpricing2.html)
