Trial or Full Subscription?

I downloaded CS6 to my computer in December, 2013.  The software was provided through my employer, Suffolk University.  I was under the impression that this was a full subscription which I now own.  However, when I try to use Photoshop CS6 now, a window appears offering me the option of converting from "trial" to "full subscription".  When I try to do so, I'm told that my serial number is invalid.    I will be buying a new computer soon, and I want to be sure that I can download CS6 to it.  So my basic question is:  Do I "own" this program, or was it a "trial" subscription?

The CC subscriptions for individuals are month-to-month or yearly paid monthly, and at least for CC, there are institutional/enterprise/team versions that are per-seat and can be moved between individuals as needed.  For CS6 there are also perpetual licenses available. 
Are you aware of what type of subscription you were operating under?  It is less than 1 years since Dec 2012, but if the subscription was month-to-month or some sort of per-seat licensing only temporarily assigned to you then it’d probably revert to trial mode after the license expired or was rescinded or removed from your AdobeID.
Or are you using the term subscription more loosely and you really mean perpetual license and activation with a serial number and then perhaps there was a problem with the serial number from your employer.   I am not sure what Adobe did with institutional serial numbers before the creative cloud, if those could be temporary or not.
You can probably call/chat with Adobe and give them your serial number to see what they can deduce from it, the type of license or subscription it ties back to.
This is a public user-to-user forum so you wouldn’t want to post anything like a serial number, here.

  • Creative Cloud Trial to Full Subscription

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the trial version of Creative Cloud, just to try it out. Whenever the trial is over, and I decide to switch to the full subscription, will I have to re-download Photoshop, or will it automatically convert to the full version?
    Thanks, guys!

    On the trial window, you will have the option called "License this software". Click this option and enter your credentials under which you have placed the Creative Cloud Subscription and click next. Your subscription will then convert to full version.

  • Trial to full version problem on lightroom mobile

    I used a trial version of lightroom and lightroom mobile. within a few days of the trial expiring I used a credit card and bought a serial key from adobe.com to upgrade from trial to full version. but for some reason lightroom mobile on my iPads says my trial has now expired and i need to sign in with an id that has a paid version. i have already done that! how do i solve this problem? i can't use lightroom mobile yet i have full version on my desktop. please help.

    In order to use Lightroom Mobile you must have a creative cloud subscription. Lightroom Mobile worked for 30 days because you are given a trial period. But beyond that trial, Lightroom Mobile cannot be used unless you subscribe to a creative cloud package. The most common one, I believe, is the one that includes Photoshop/Bridge, Lightroom and Lightroom Mobile for $9.99/month.

  • Know if trial or full version has been installed

    Hi, so i have just got a brand new Mac with Yosemite 10.10.3. I have just downloaded and installed the latest Creative Cloud Apps manager, and logged in with my paid subscription. When I clicked on my Apps tab, I saw all of my apps there, but instead of buttons to let me install, only buttons to let me try instead. This was a pain, restarting the computer, logging in and out of Apps manager a few times and suddenly they showed as install. But how can I be sure that all my apps have been installed in full mode, and not trial?
    Is there somewhere in each of them that will tell me if the app is in trial or full mode? I don't want them all to stop working after 30 days as that will cause me a lot of heartache.

    Hi Adam,
    You can follow the article: Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later, Acrobat DC to get your activation issues resolved.
    Let us know if it works or not.

  • I have a problem with a full subscription to CC products

    I tried the free subscription. I liked the version CC. Recently bought a full subscription (to mail the letter with proof of payment), but the lists of subscriptions on my profile anyway worth "Free Trial" and the app CC offers to download demo versions of software, and when any of them offers start a trial period or a serial number, which I do not know. What's the problem, can anyone explain? Sorry bad English

    Hi Nosock,
    Please click on "License This Software" when the trial window pops up.
    Then enter your Adobe ID and Password to activate your product.
    If it asks for a serial number refer to the below link.

  • Error in converting SQL 2014 Trial to Full version using VLKey

    Hi,
    I am currently trying to upgrade my SQL 2014 evaluation version to the full version.
    I have purchased a Volume License for SQL Server 2014 Server/CAL and have extracted the product key from the ISO File.
    I have verified this product key with the product activation department and it is confirmed that it is a valid product key "ProdKey3 SQL Svr Standard Edtn 2014 00204 PA/BP VL:GVLK Pre Pidded"
    However, when i input the product key in to the server, it is showing me the error message:
    The SQL product key is not valid, enter key from certificate of authenticity or SQL server packaging
    Checked on the version of the evaluation and this is the edition - Microsoft SQL Server 2014.0120.2000.08
    The site that I am activating the server on does not have any internet connection, does this affect the activation?
    Would there be an alternate phone activation method for converting to Trial to Full?
    Kindly Assist. Thank you.

    Hi Julian,
    Firstly, according to the error message, please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupt, and make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server. For more details about the error, please review the
    similar
    thread.
    Secondly, in addition to Ed’s post, you can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    Thirdly, for more detailed information regarding to the license issue, please call
    1-800-426-9400,
    Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing specialist. For international customers, please use the Guide to Worldwide Microsoft Licensing Sites to find contact information in your locations.

  • Are there any free OLDER VERSION dreamweaver downloads, not trials; but full version downloads?

    Are there any free OLDER VERSION dreamweaver downloads, not trials; but full version downloads?

    Nothing from Adobe is free beyond the 30 day trial.  If you want free software, you'll need to look at plain HTML editors.  See link below for options.

  • 2 issues - Invalid Serial Number issue & Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question

    Hello
    not sure if I should split these two questions...
    1 - Invalid Serial Number issue
    I'm helping out a friend with their large photo collection and they bought Lightroom 5 and received the serial number but when we add this to Lightroom it states that it's invalid - I tried leaving it until the following week (I visit them weekly) and it still refusing the number - when I went into their Adobe account and took a look at downloads the option to download the full version is greyed out (or an x - I'm not sat on their computer right now so can't double check) but it wouldn't allow me to do anything so we just had the trial version.
    anyone know what the issue is - shall I get them to contact Adobe to get them to take a look - I also had issues trying to find a customer support email address lol. (I seem to faffing with lots of websites/software/companies this week so getting a little frazzled!)
    2 - Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question
    This question is linked to the above i- I am wondering if the folders in Lightroom are different in the trial version vs the fully paid version.
    I had set up some greeting card templates and contact sheet layouts for my friend and tried to transfer them to her computer but whilst, LR 'sees' the folders it just doesn't acknowledge the templates - I tried it several ways but I've not had that issue before so will that sort itself when I get the serial number fixed?
    Thank you for any help or suggestions - hope you all have a good weekend :-)
    Lenny

    Hi Lenny, the two questions may be related but the trial is actually the same as the full version. I would suggest getting the serial number issue sorted out first. There have been known issues where a paid for product still shows up as a trial.There is not a lot the community can do. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
    1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
    2. Serial number issues or activating my product
    3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
    It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

  • Adobe Flash Pro CC Trial or Full Version?

    I have no idea if I installed a trial or full version is there anything that appears in the opening start menu that says its a trial?

    There will usually be some form of indication that you are using a trial version.  If you did not purchase anything you can be fairly sure it is a trial regardless of whether or not there is an indication.

    I have received a notice that my forms central account has lasped due to being unable to charge credit card.  I have changed cards and will update, but do not want to pay a full subscription since Forms is ending.  I am in the middle of a process that will end in a month.  What do I do to be able to finish this process???

    It is a bad situation. Your credit card expired but you cannot change it because FormsCentral is retiring.
    Please consider moving your forms to JotForm right away. It takes a few minutes to do it using JotForm new Import Wizard:

  • Question about converting trial to full version.

    Hi there,
    I have 2 questions:
    1.
    Currently I am using Framemaker 7.2 trial version. I have the licence code for Framemaker 7.2. I found out from the Adobe website (http://www.adobe.com/support/service/trial.html) that I need to Activate the trial product for it to be converted to a full version but I do not see any Activation button when I opened the trial version. How do I convert from trial to full?
    2.
    After Step 1 above is done, how do I upgrade version 7.2 to version 8?
    Thank you.

    You cannot purchase FrameMaker 7.2 anymore, you can buy FrameMaker 8 from Adobe Store.
