Too late to re-activate adobe ...so it closed

Hello
Have I done a catastrophic mistake by being too late to re-activate my Adobe creative suite?
I have had computer problems. When I in the end bought a new computer and tried to install Adobe, the re-activation time had run out.
I did have a possibility to re-activate it off course, but didnt do it immidiately, since I was about to re-install everything in the new computer, and then problems arouse that delayed everything ...and then suddenly it was to late.
I will contact support by phone tomorrow. But if someone can ease my pain, by hinting that it is possible to re-activate it, I will get some sleep tonight...
cheers/Johan

Phillip,
I AM a wino! I mean hey, look at that glass. It was NOT a Riedel Sommelier Burg glass. Only a true wino would use such a glass. Seems that my review of that restaurant was very critical of their stemware. Food good, wine list well-suited for the menu at a fair "resort price," but the stemware needed a real upgrade. I write that a lot though.
Personally, I would like to see the max. installs increased, as there are many good reasons for people needing to do more than the 5-10 (?) allowed. Not that long ago, a PS user was complaining in the forum, that he could not uninstall his copy of PS every night, when he left the office, so that the cleaning crew could not use it. He wanted unlimited installs. That was a really odd idea, but then I do not know his cleaning crew... Now, Activation does not rub me the wrong way, like it does many. Maybe it is because that I have never had an issue with it. Had I, my opinion might be different.
Adobe, however, knows what they are doing. They write the software, and make the rules. I just buy their software to make my living, and play by their rules. I know that that statement does not belie my "Libertarian" nature, but then I've been a loyal buyer/user for over two decades.

  • I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues ove

    I bought and legally own PS CS3. Installed on a desktop and the machine died completely. Downloaded a trial of CS3 from Adobe site. Went to activate and said too many activations. Activate over the phone. EXCEPT Adobe does not handle activation issues over the phone. Adobe doesn't care about their older products - they don't care that I spent hundreds of dollars for CS3. This is truly disgusting corporate behavior. Is there anything I can do? We aren't all rich photographers. I paid a great deal of money for this product. Is it now useless?Thank you,

  • Too late to register Acrobat 7 Professional

    I am too late to register Adobe Acrobat 7. Now application is not responding. How to fix this?

    What OS? It may not be a registration problem, but an OS problem.

  • Too late to switch?

    I want to change over to the unlimited data plan. Right now I have a feature phone with the $10/25MB month plan. Is it too late to change if I'm going to switch online? I wanted to get a pre-owned iphone but I didn't know if I ordered one today or tommorrow and changed the plan(which you have to do anyway) would I be grandfathered into the unlimited plan or does it take effect when you physically activate the phone. If that's the case I guess I'll have to go to the verizon store tommorrow and get a brand new iphone.(the phone online wouldn't get here until Thursday or Friday) Does anyone know? Thanks for any info.

    Sorry for the late response. I hope you were able to find an answer for this issue. If you upgraded to a smartphone before 7/7, you will be able to keep the unlimited data plan. If you haven't upgraded yet, you will be able to choose from our new data pricing. 

  • The tabs in the phone app are responding too late

    After installing IOS 8.0.2 update on my iphone 5, all of the tabs in the phone app (including scrolling the contacts or dialing numbers) are responding too late.
    All other apps are working as fast as they work before the update.

  • Is It Too Late to Create a Version Set?

    I have several photos that I edited and saved, but I did not save them as version sets.  Now I would like to convert each of them to a version set -- the edited photo on top of the original photo.  Is it too late to do that?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention the details -- I'm using PSE8 on a laptop with Win7 (64bit).
    Yes, my terminology is confusing because I'm fairly new to this and not exactly sure what I'm doing.  I am following the example of an Adobe technician who led me through a process whereby I could move photos from one catalog to another.  I have 5 catalogs, two of which contain many thousands of photos each.  The other 3 catalogs are more specialized and thus smaller.  My Flower Catalog, for instance, contains a couple thousand pictures.
    This is my routine:  I download my photos into one of the larger catalogs (File>Get Photos from Card Reader).  If I have a photo of a flower in the group, I edit it and save it in a version set or stack.  Then, in order to "move" it to the Flower Catalog, I select and copy it (Ctrl+C).  Then, in Explorer, I open the Flower Catalog and paste it. Then, when I return to PSE8 and open the Flower Catalog (a watched folder), I get the message that a new photo has been found and do I want to add it to the browser. (This photo, unfortunately for me, is not the version set or stack but only the top, edited, photo.)  I add it to the browser.  The properties show that its location is now in the Flower Catalog.  Then I go back to the larger catalog and delete the flower photo from that catalog (not the hard disk).
    A convoluted system, but it works except for keeping the version set or stack intact.
    Does anyone have a better, foolproof way of moving a file from one catalog to another?  Especially a way that will keep the version set or stack together?

  • Too early for the retina, too late for the non retina? Which one?

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry for yet another "Which MBP should I buy" post but I have read through all the of the discussions I can find on this topic as well as around the web.
    I am a digital designer who is currently using a PC only because up until now I have never been in the financial position to transition over to Mac.
    I am currently trying to decide between getting a a 15" Mac Book Pro or 15" Retina Mac Book Pro.
    15-inch: 2.6GHz
    2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    High res anti-glare screen
    versus:
    15-inch: Retina display
    2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB flash storage1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    I will be using Adobe CS6 Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver sometimes all at the same time. I occasionally have a video project where I will be using Premiere and After Effects. I am also looking into upskilling myself and becoming versed in at least basic 3D modelling. I am looking at a MBP because portability is important.
    Given my job, going retina seems like a no brainer but I have a few concerns:
    Speed, processing power - which will suit my needs?
    This is an investment for me, I want it to last at least 3-4 years:
    Is getting a standard MBP now just too late and bidding in the past?
    Will resale of a standard MBP suck in 3-4 years?
    In 3 years time will I need an upgrade, and if so, how will I even do this with a virtually unupgradeable (from what Ive read) Retina MBP?
    About 80% of the time I plan on hooking up the MBP to a Thunderbolt display - whats the point in a Retina?
    If I don't get a Retina and I need to start designing Retina graphics, will I be faced with added dificulty because I use standard MBP?
    Is it realistic to assume Retina graphics won't become mainstream for 3-4 years allowing me to bide my time with a standard MBP, upgrading to a Retina later?
    At work I use a 2-3 year old iMac and the screen is already magical compared to my PC and it seems to do fine for me. I've been in store and played with both and I am genuinely confused. I just feel like getting a standard MBP is like jumping on a train when it's already reached it's destination.
    Budget wise I can afford the base level Retina MBP I outlined above but if I can save money, that'd be ideal. Being me I will automatically chose the best possible solution but I need to be rational about my needs. Someone please help, I just want a Mac!
    Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated

    In general
    Retina cannot upgrade RAM.  Storage can be upgraded, but more $ than upgrading the non-Retina unit.
    Non-Retina unit can upgrade RAM  base-4 GB to 16 GB for about $85 (cf. OWC.)  HD can be replaced with SSD or larger HD.   
    Therefore lack of "upgradability" in Retina
    No optical drive in Retina.
    The non-Retina has  Ethernet and FireWire ports, and a slot for a secure cable- the Retina  none of these ports.

  • HT2417 my iphone 4s voice messages repeatedly disappear and reappear at random. When they do reappear, I cannot listen to them. Sometimes, they eventually come through but usually too late to respond

    I have an iphone 4s with Sprint. Ever since I switched from my iphone 3G with ATT, I have had incredible frustration with the voicemail system. Periodically, my voicemails on the new phone disappear; all messages old and new. This occurs out of the blue. Similarly they at times reappear, but the new messages have no content and all show up as 0.00minutes. Randomly, some messages retrieve their content and I can listen to them, often too late to respond to the caller. This is very annoying and almost questions why the voicemail exists at all. I have taken the phone to Sprint multiple times and performed countless resets with no recourse, hence they suggested contacting Apple. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a viable solution? iOS is up to date, phone only used in USA
    Thanks

  • Too Late for Mac OS Extended Journaled??

    Hi guys! So i got a another firewire HD, 250GB by acomdata. It's formatted under FAT 32 for both windows and mac, after after reading several posts, it's best to format it under mac os extended. the problem is I already put about 30 GB of files on it. Is it too late for me to reformat it? do i have to remove all the files, then do it? If someone can provide step by step instructions that won't harm my files, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    You understand that if you reformat the drive for Mac OS Extended that you will no longer be able to use the drive on a PC?
    If you do reformat the drive you need to do so as follows:
    1a (If this is the startup drive.) Boot from your OS X Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu if using Tiger.) Be sure to use the installer disk for the version of OS X you intend to install.
    1b (If this is a non-startup volume or external drive.) Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.

  • I am trying to watch Prof. Susskind's video lectures from Stanford univ.U-tube lec work fine.With itunes video and audio have synch problem.Is there a way to fix this or the people who uploaded messed up and it is too late?

    I am trying to watch Prof. Susskind's lectures from Stanford Univ. U-tube lectures work fine.With I-tunes, there is a synchronization problem between audio and video. Is there a way to fix this or the people who uploaded messed up and it is too late?

    I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged  a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
    There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
    I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround
