Trial to buy UPGRADE

I've downloaded the trial version but I can't find where you purchase an upgrade electronically? Do the trial version to licensed version only apply to full versions and not upgrades?

OK, I can accept that, figures....
I did notice something interesting though, I downloaded the RAW support 3.0 manually and the Aperture trial version. I wasn't able to install the RAW support until the Aperture 3.0 (trial) was installed. Well, I'm not using the Aperture 3.0 trial version, since I can't license it, so I moved Aperture 3.0 out of the apps folder but I noticed the RAW support 3.0 still works, cool! It doesn't allow me to use the new support in Aperture 2.0, but previously unsupported files (Canon sRAW) now open in Preview at least and I don't get the generic icons anymore.

A1, Can not get Camera edits to Save. Arcsoft Gallery (Trial) will not upgrade

Sorry but I need to first start with a rant,
<rant> I receive the pad, spend days playing and customizing, learning features. Once I ran across the edit feature from within the camera viewer (which was very cool), I played with a picture and went to "Save". I was presented with a message that if I want to save I would need to "Buy" the app. First off I was not in an app, I was using the built in camera viewer software, there was no identification, no "About" tab and I did not not use an external Icon to get to this point. Ok, I suck up and press continue to find out the software is "Arcsoft Workshop 4.6 (Trial)" and the upgrade would be $2.99. I really think this was a low blow from Lenovo as to beat up on their customers for mere $2.99. Ok, after having to fight with the Lenovo app store (reg + fight crashes which are detailed elsewhere) I finally get it purchased and downloaded just to be awarded with the message "Can't Install" with an big red "X"). Now things continue go down hill..... </rant>
Ok, just before it bombed out I was given a message to "Replace an system app" which I also agreed to. That gave me the idea that the old application may be holding up the install process. My great idea led me to uninstall "Arcsoft workshop trial" which did not help anything and now I have no edit functions at all
When the app first mis-behaved I was asked by the app-store to report problems which I did, the next morning I had an email from a nice lady that worked at MobiHand (apparently they service the Lenovo app store) and an attachment with the workshop apk file. I was able to get that file to install
But wait, we are not done with this story... I had Workshop back but if I clicked on ANY picture or tried to "Edit" from the camera I was presented with "Can not open image!" Nothing I tried would work, I uninstalled, reinstalled, bla, bla. I then returned the nice lady's email with the new problem with no response for the next 2 days.
Meanwhile I am trying to figure out how to get back to where I was to start with and have edit functions (how be-it with no ability to save). Since I installed the trial app and did not have a copy to reinstall it back I was stuck. After much research (on the forums) I was able to confirm that a factory reset would bring back the old app as well as perhaps fix a few other things that are plaguing me. During the 4 system updates previously I made I never did the reset and all my customizing stayed (which I was happy about) but now with the pending reset I knew it would be the end of all my past week of work. Of course I backed up everything but still the re-setup would be hours. (<rant> all this for a #$!@#$@#$ "Save" button! </rant>)
I followed this exact procedure;
1. Made sure all updates were completed. (v3.2.1 (build ends with 1109)
2. Factory Reset (under setup, privacy)
3. Loaded Astro and backed up ALL my initial apps (including Workshop Trial)
4. Set up Lenovo app store
5. Took a test picture with the camera
6. Viewed test picture and selected "edit"
7. Made a test edit
8. Selected "Result" and "Save", I was presented with the "you must buy" message
9. Completed the Arcsoft Workshop 4.6 download and install (Hurray no problems this time!)
But wait.... The story continues.....
I go to edit a picture and was presented with 2 choices, Workshop and Workshop Trial. For some reason I was not asked to overwrite the old trial version but I think to my self, this is OK and choose the new full app.
I am presented with "Can't open Image!" <rant> (&^#@%$^$&
Lets see, I have about 12 hours in this project to get a "Save" button and NaDa, no forward progress, Game further delayed, EKKKKKK! </rant>
Workshop trial at least still works as it always has.
<loud_rant> Now, I am po'd, nothing I did has caused this and the blooming thing just plain does not work, the words "I should have bought an Ipad" continue to beat in my head, after all the 8g iPAd2 was only $100 more, I really feel like returning this stupid thing but I suck it back up and fire an email to Arcsoft. The next morning the reply was that Lenovo bundled the software and I should contact them (Did I tell you I spent 40 worthless minutes on the phone to them during the initial problem state?). Now I am Livid, I told Arcsoft that it was the full version I paid $2.99 for that is malfunctioning, not the original bundled "Trial" version but of course that was ignored and the generic form letter response was issued. I have fired off another very firm email to Arcsoft over the issue, no response to date (2 days now). </loud_rant>
It appears that satisfaction is no matter to Lenovo or Arcsoft, and theydo not provide what they promise. I hope this community can help with the problem, If I can't save an edited picture then they deserve to get the blooming thing back.
Thankx for any help someone can provide,

Thanks for the tip on the edit. I remembered to take the film off the lens. In almost every review I read and viewed (I researched quite a while b/4 buying) mentioned the poor quality of the camera photos compared to other 5 MP cameras on other tablets. I just didn't expect it to be this bad. My neighbor has a Thrive and an Iconia both of which have 5 MP cameras and there is a world of difference even after you upload them to the computer. It wasn't the 3.2 upgrade that affected the camera.....I think it is just poor quality hardware (most reviewers agree on that). It is not a deal breaker for me more like I feel cheated. Having the camera lens so close to the edge is a problem too since it seems to pick up finger prints on the glass covering the lens causing the photos to look drab.
Atleast they didn't put the earphone jack on the top causing the wire to drap across the screen if you are not careful like one of the tablets I saw.

I have a mac, In"Design CS 5.5, a design gave me a file said it was CS 6, does not open in CS 5.5..Message says "Please upgrade your plug-ins to their latest versions, or upgrade to the latest version of Adobe InDesign." I think I need to buy upgrade from 5.5 to 6. I found one on NextTechDirect for $150 to download. they are not a scam according to "scamadvisor.com."
When I drag the InDesign file that that was supplied by another designer who said it was CS 6 onto my desktop it says CS 5.5. Is that because I only have CS 5.5?
Should I buy this
Adobe InDesign CS6 Upgrade from CS5.5 WIN/MAC [Download] from Next tech....it is obviosly higher on the adobe site and alot of other places?

No one is likely to recommend where you buy your software from other than Adobe in these forums... not so much because of support for Adobe, but mostly because of lack of support/knowledge of any third party vendors. I only know from experience that when you invest in bargain pricing you usually get what you pay for.

Can't find what you are talking about, could you post a link.
I see the following.
Quote "Select any of the applications below to download a free trial. Or sign up for your free trial of Creative Cloud to get free access to all of these applications, mobile apps, web storage, and more."
Its all referring to trials.

Acrobat will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license

Acrobat 9 Pro. will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license; comuter crashed with harddrive; could not deactivate; this is a new computer to replace the old, but now Acrobat refuses to accept it.

Hey mjmselim,
Using a single user license, you can activate Acrobat on maximum two computers.
You need to first deactivate Acrobat from the first machine and then activate it on the second machine using the same serial number.
Please let me know have you been trying to install Acrobat and error message prompts on your screen.
Hope to get your response.

Upgrading from Aperture 2: Trial or Buy?

I already ordered Aperture 3 as an upgrade and am waiting for the box to arrive in a few days. Is it safe to download the trial in the meantime and upgrade or should I wait for the box? I seem to remember that when Aperture 2 came out there was a problem with switching from the trial-version to the real thing.

I think the correct answer is to download the trial. When you launch the trial it will ask you if you want to buy the software. In that case you don't need to order the box. Unfortunately I ordered Aperture 3 Upgrade from Apple Store before launching the trial (great faith in Apple) so now I just need to wait for the box. I wonder why they can't say at Apple Store that you can also order the download without the box... Not possible to use the trial with the existing Aperture Library - it will only allow a trial library.

Used LR5 trial version, purchased upgrade version, but don't have previous serial number

Hi guys,
Seems I have misunderstood the purchase and after my trial version expired I decided to buy the upgrade version (thought it would be the one as I already had there software downloaded and used as trial). Now I have purchased the upgrade software, but obviously I do not have the previous licence code!
How can I get it to work and pay the difference only? Or do I have to contact Adobe, cancel the upgrade version, wait for the refund and order afterwards the full version?
Thanks
Patrick

I think you have answered your own question. We are all just users like yourself. It seems that some people are getting confused about the upgrade version. The first time you purchase Lightroom you have to pay the full price. The trial version is actually the full version, it just has a time limiter on it. The upgrade version depends on a serial number from a previous version (i.e. Lightroom 3, Lightroom 4, etc.) as well as the serial number from the upgrade version to be activated. So it appears that you will have to negotiate with Adobe customer support to resolve your problem.

What happens to the form I created with free trial when I upgrade?

I signed up for a free AdobeForms account 6 months ago. In that time I created a really detailed form. I am still able to access the account and the form to this day without any problems. However I now want to upgrade my account so I can do more with the form I created with the free account.
What will happen to my existing form when I upgrade my AdobeForms account to paid subscription? I am assuming it would just remain in my account. However when my secretary called to order the full subscription, the sales rep suggested that the existing form created via the trial would be wiped-out upon upgrading the account.
Is this true/accurate? I do not want to lose the form I have already perfected when upgrading.
Thank you for any info!!

Thanks! Ok... well we're going to order the full subscription now, I made a PDF backup of the web form in case, but really looking forward to not losing the designed form.

How can I connect my iTouch to itunes without being prompted to buy upgrade

Ever since that new upgrade for the Ipod Touch came out, I've been getting the page prompting me to buy it every time I connect my Ipod Touch to Itunes. The only options I get are 'buy now' or 'remind me later'. I don't want to buy it and I I'm quite sure about it so I don't need a reminder. Why isn't there an option 'No, I'm not interested'? Is this Apple's way of annoying you into buying something as they think eventually you'll give in if you have to put up with the prompt every day?

As luck would have it, as soon as I post the question - there now is a 'no thanks' option. Maybe I've hit 'remind me later' enough times fo rthem to get the message. Hopefully hitting 'no thanks' once will suffice and I won't have to do it everytime!

I have Adobe Reader on my computer & want Adobe X Standard - Do I need to buy upgrade or full?

I have Adobe Reader on my computer and want to install Adobe X Standard - Do I need to purchase an upgrade or full version?

You buy a full version. There are no upgrade discounts from a tool that is free, anyway.

Is it possible to upgrade a Macbook at retail apple store or buy upgraded?

I want to buy an upgraded macbook pro. Does the apple stores sell it or upgrade mine? Or just online?
Thanks

You should be able to purchase an upgraded MBP at a retail store but there may be a wait period involved. Same is the case for an online purchase.
Now if you want to upgrade the RAM or HDD on a non-retina MBP only, it is much more cost effective to do so by purchasing from third party vendors the components and installing them yourself. This does not apply to CPUs and display modifications.
Ciao.

Buy upgrade or full version of LR 4?

I lost my LR 3 software, but still have the serial number. Should I buy the upgrade or the full version of LR 4?

Yes, even with that.
LR4 does not require an installation, but checks validity of the previous LR3 serial number, when a LR4-upgrade serial no is entered instead of a full LR4-serial.
This is done vs. a database at Adobe.
It is somewhat different than with Photoshop, where you need to disable your previous version first, in order to reuse its serial for anything else (be that an installation on another comp or an upgrade serial). Yes, less secure on Adobe's side, but no hassle if a comp has broken down before being able to disengage the old serial.
I guess they would detect if 2 LR4-upgrade serial numbers would be installed with the same LR3-serial, so the second one would not be successful.

When buying upgrade, can I use it on both of my mac computers?

If I buy the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, am I able to use that on both of my mac computers without paying for two upgrades? One is a desktop and the other is a MacBook Pro laptop.

When you download it on the first one, make a copy to put away in another folder before installing because the installer 'self destructs' (for lack of a better term, then you can just copy the Lion copy you made on a USB stick and install it on the other computer and save another 3.4GB of downloading.

Why Why Why didn't i get warned about some of my super used all the time programs not working with Lion? I am so sad. What can i do about it besides buying upgrades for all the programs??

I am so upset because i didn't research enough before upgrading to Lion. I can't use a lot of my pograms i used all the time now. I want to go back to where i was before Lion. Is there a way to do it without costing me more money?

I didn't say the price was necessarily a drawback; just thought I'd throw my two cents in if the OP didn't want to purchase more software (as he/she alluded to in the first post). Even if it's a small cost (in your opinion), the OP said they didn't want to spend any more money. I didn't think about buying it on ebay; but that's a good idea. Just keep in mind that the Parallels free phone support is only good for the first few months after purchasing a new copy, so if you're buying a used copy, you won't get free phone tech support. I think they have per-incident support once the free period is over, though. And they probably have forums you can use to troubleshoot any issues.
Parallels can also cause a slow/laggy OS, which could be seen as a drawback. Of course, you could always purchase more RAM if the computer does lag, but there's another cost. I'm sure it doesn't happen to everyone, but it can happen, that I've seen. Especially if the computer you install it on is an older one that barely meets the Lion system requirements to begin with.
I agree with you; I purchase hardware and software for the future. If my new iMac won't run software from 2004-2008, I guess I'm upgrading. I understand when people don't want to upgrade, but after so many years, it's not really a choice.
I prefer the dual-boot method; it's cleaner (in my experience) than a virtual machine software program, and causes fewer issues with the main OS installation. It's really just preference, though. The OP can try both ways and decide which is preferable for him/her.
What I posted was (as I said in my first post) just my suggestion. I wasn't trying to override what you said about Parallels being the answer; just adding a new answer that I didn't yet see in this thread, in case the OP wanted an alternative. Maybe I mis-read the defensive attitude in your post, and if so, I apologize. But you seemed to be defending something that I wasn't truly even attacking to begin with. I feel that the best choices are the most informed ones, and with more options, the OP can find the best answer for him/her.
Have a nice day!
