Trial version, is a clean uninstall possible?

I tried the trial version (Japanese) of Acrobat 8. After I finished the trial period and uninstalled it, it left a lot of stuff behind.
Now I have problems printing from Reader (v.7, English, with Japanese fonts also installed). Random characters are missing, and the missing ones are different each time.
Also, Reader will no longer open up in the browser (IE6.1) when I click on a pdf file on the internet.
These things worked before. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Reader, but things do not get better. I can only assume that, among the junk left behind by the trial version, that there is something that is now interfering with the operation of Reader.
Is there a way to get rid of all the junk that the dirty uninstall of the trial version left behind?
Thanks

Hi. I looked at that, but it is only for XP and Vista. I'm still on W2k, so I couldn't use that. (Acrobat seems to be the only program from Adobe now which will run on W2k).
I did find some info in the knowledgebase about uninstalling Acrobat Standard and Reader by hand. I've done what I could, although I haven't gotten around to re-installing Reader yet.
However, before I uninstalled Reader 7, I have checked printing on this and another computer, using various files. I can say this:
- no problem with the printer
- no problem printing with other applications on this computer
- no problem printing old PDF files made by other people (manuals and such) on this computer with Reader 7 (the version I just uninstalled).
- no problem printing PDF files which I made on this computer using either the trial version of Acrobat 8, or PDFCreator, on the other computer, using the same version of Reader 7
- the only problem is printing those PDF files made on this computer, using either the trial version of Acrobat 8 or PDFCreator, on this computer.
Conclusion: It has to have something to do with the junk that was left behind. Something on this computer is messing up the printing from Reader, but only for PDF files made on this computer.
Whether I can solve this by uninstalling manually, I don't know yet.
I don't know what to think of this, except that I am not at all impressed.

SAP Netweaver 7.02 ABAP Trial Version - Password logon no longer possible

Hi All,
i have successfully installed a Trial version of SAP Netweaver 7.02 and GUI. Now some troubles occur when i try to login using the SAP GUI. Now i see an error message: "Password logon nolonger possible - too many failed attempts". Have anyone got this problem? I tried to login with BCUSER(pwd: abcd1234), DDIC (Installer PW: 19920706) and SAP (Installer PW: 06071992)*
but all were unsuccesfull.
Thanks for any tips

Hi,
try deleting that entry from usr02 at the database level.
delete from usr02 where mandt='<client>' and bname='SAP*';
This will unlock the sap* user and reset its password back to 'pass'.
Then you will be able to reset DDIC when logged on as SAP*.
Sometimes the SAP* user is not activated. There is a profile parameter
login/no_automatic_user_sapstar - the value for this should be 0 if
want to be able to logon to the system with the user SAP* . Make sure
this profile parameter is set in the INSTANCE profile.
Remember if you update this profile or include it in the system
profiles you will need to bounce the server for it to take effect.
hope this helps.
Regards,
Vincent

I used the Nik filter collection as a trial version on Elements 12 on MacOS10.9. When the trial was up, the purchased version is not allowed to work. Any suggestions. I've uninstalled everything aand cleaned out all the NIK files from the libraries.

To Mickey: I got the 2 RAR files into one directory, extracted the part1.rar file, and in that new folder there is a file called start.html. I opened this, and followed the links on the right, from "Welcome" to "Getting Started". After all this I had the SAP Management Console, as well as the Database Manager applications created. You will find the specific instructions for setting up the MaxDB under the "Getting Started" link. After setting up the Database Manager you have to start it up with a user-id and password which was created during the set-up, and specifically link the database to the NSP system. I seem to remember that this didn't work at first, because the Database Manager shortcut does not run the program as an administrator. So run it as an administrator! I altered the shortcut's properties under the shortcut/advanced so it will always run the program as an administrator, and haven't had any problems - once you have done the "Add" procedure you may never need to re-visit the database manager.

Is it possible to uninstall LR trial version from a Mac?

Is it possible to uninstall LR trial version from a Mac?

Yes. Just drag the Lightroom program file to the trash.

Possibility to uninstall trial version even if i have put the documents to the trash ?

hi,
some days ago, I have downloaded the Photoshop trial version. But it didn't open correctly then I decided to put it in the trash (and empty it...) to download a new trial version, hoping that the new one could work better than the previous one. But I realized too late that I needed to uninstall the previous one to install a new version and I had deleted the uninstallation software... So I can't do anything now, because I can't uninstall the first version and install another one. Is there any solution to my problem ?
Please !!!!!

Hi Zeliezelie,
Seems like you are using MAC . If thats right and if you dont have any other product installed on the machine , please rename the following folder and delete the App from Application/Utilities and perform a fresh installation .
/Library/Application Support/Adobe
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

Cannot completely uninstalled trial version of Adobe Acrobat Professional 9

Hi,
I've downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 as a 30-day trial. When 15 days or so have passed, I've decided to discontinue my use and uninstalled the trial version via Control Panel - Programs and Features. However the program refuses to go away. When I install Acrobat Reader 9 it tells me that I already have Adobe Acrobat Pro and should decide to choose one as the default PDF file-handler. Now once in a while when I open a PDF file the Pro trial window would pop-up and ask me to enter a key or choose the trial version. When I choose the trial version it then says that an error has occurred when loading the trial information, or something like that.
I've looked for the Pro folder/files throughout my computer and found nothing. I've tried Microsoft's Windows Install Clean Up utility and removed Pro from the program list there, however that did not change anything. I still get the trial pop-up and the error message that follows (see attachments).
Any thoughts?

If the executable is removed, then it is not possible to run it anymore. Therefore the uninstall did not really remove everything.
Can you check if there is anything left in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe?
If you really cannot find what's running, try Process Monitor from Sysinternals to see what's running when you open a PDF file.

I had Acrobat XI Pro Trial installed on W8.1, and I had to uninstall it because issues with MS Office 2010. Now I try to reinstall Acrobat and It does not allow me to use the trial version anymore even it was not over. What to do??

Well, I had installed in my new computer a trial version from Acrobat XI Pro, but I had issues with Microsoft Word 2010, since it did not allow me to save changes on my file. I uninstalled it from my computer before the trial period was over, and then, after I solved the issue with Office, I wanted to get it back for a time, but the installer does not allow me to choose Trial Version. I can reach that screen where you choose between key and trial, but once I press trial and click on next, it does absolutely nothing at all.
I have tried to manually delete folders, and I even used CC Clean to make a registry set up, but nothing out of that is working for me at all, and it keeps happening. I have no really idea what to do, and I kinda need to use Acrobat immediately for a file.

The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

I had to uninstall the trial version of Premier Pro, now I can't download a new one/update anymore?

Since the trial version was not working properly I tried to uninstall it via Adobe, which worked. But now it seems impossible to download a new trial version or get an update, since it was once installed on this PC. But normally I would have had 20 days of trial left, and would appreciate to use them somwhow. Is there anything I can do? It is a Window 8 PC.
Thanks for help!!

Run the cleaner tool and try again.

CS4 Trial Version: How to Uninstall from PC?

Hi!
I downloaded the CS4 Trial Version. Now I would like to uninstall it from my PC. I still have 23 remaining days, but would like to clear space on my hard drive asap. What will happen when the Trial expires? Will it self-delete, or what??
Would you please tell me how this can best be done? I don't want any files from this download remaining on my hard drive.
TIA,
Clyde Semler

Here's the thing. The uninstallers were part of the package that Adobe made you down and decompress (along with the installer package). From the sounds of it you do not have it.
The following is the CS4 Clean Script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
This is usually only recommend in cases where where betas and pre-release software were removed from a system and you run into problems installing the legit software. As a result, this will disable all CS4 software, serial numbers and Adobe Acrobat/Reader installations. It's a commonly used script but it will wipe the system files/registry and all program/user library folders and takes longer to run than the typically uninstaller.
That's your only other option if there is no add/remove programs for whatever reason and you did not hold onto the separate uninstaller packages.

How to uninstall trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro from a mac?

I installed a trial version Adobe Acrobat Pro from the Creative Cloud list on my Mac Pro 10.7.5. First, although I was supposed to have a 30 day free trial, it expired immediately. Worse, every time I try to open my former Adober Acrobat, I get prompted to buy a yearly subscription to Acrobat pro and cannot use my older version. I have tried various ways to uninstall the Acrobat Pro version and to get back to normal, with no success. Anyone out there to help or must I spend money on an international call to ask Adobe what to do? It seems that they have shut down their "chat" service. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Robert

This is not a Technical Communications Suite product. If this is AE CS4 you can try the CS4 Clean Script:
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
If that fails, try the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Tool.
If that fails try the AE forum.

How to uninstall iWork '09 (trial version) completely

I want to uninstall iWork '09 trial version completely. I deleted the folders, but there's something left with Mackeeper. Do I have to finish that Mackeeper thing?

hi Anselm
to get rid of the fragments of the broken installation, you just have to drop the directories 'SAP' and 'sapdb' and then run <a href="http://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/softwaredownload?download=/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/business_packages/a1-8-4/nw/regcleantools.rar">registry clean tool</a>.

Uninstalling a trial version of Photoshop CS6

I have an old trial version of Photoshop CS6 on my Mac Book Pro that I want to uninstall. It's from last year so I can't remember very well what the deal is but it's not even set up on this device anymore although I did have it activated for awhile and it worked great. Anyhow, I just want it off without screwing up my computer. I looked in Applications/Adobe/Utilities for uninstall but didn't find it there. Should I look somewhere else? Is it safe to drag the disc image to the trash by any chance? Thanks.

Please run the Cleaner tool also to remove Ps :http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
This would ensure you do not have any issue installingPs in future..

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-instal

I recently installed the trial version of Adobe XI and the trial period ended, so I wanted to revert back to the version I already had. I did not see any uninstall feature and my old version was apparently replaced by the trial version. I cannot re-install a previous version b/c I need both a product Id (GOd only knows where that is now) and a way to uninstall the trial. Any ideas?

When you installed the trial, there should have been an option to have ignored your current installation and leave it. Apparently you skipped that case. To uninstall the trial (in Windows) go to Control Panel>Programs & Features and select the Acrobat XI and choose uninstall. After the uninstall run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html to clean up your system. HOWEVER, if you see your old Acrobat in that window, do not run the cleaner, but do a repair on the old version.
You did not mention the old version you had. You might try from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. As for the S/N, you should have register and if so you can get it from Adobe. The instructions are at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html#adobeproductdownload.
Be sure to backup any download of the old installer and the S/N to CD or backup HD for future use. They will not likely continue to be available.
