Unable to run trial mode on OSX

This has been mentioned elsewhere, but so far there are no
resolutions. I've installed DW CS3 on a Mac Pro. I also have a
purchased version of PS CS3 installed. When I launch DW, I get the
software setup screen that allows me to either enter a serial
number, or try DW for 30 Days...When I select the trial option, I
get the following message:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 : Can't Continue
A problem was encountered while trying to load the trial
period for Adobe Dreamweaver CS3.
Click Quite to see if restarting your computer or
reinstalling the software fixes the problem. Otherwise, click
Continue to display a screen where you can enter a valid serial
number to begin using the product without trial...
I've restarted, reinstalled and repaired the install...all to
no avail. I would really like to try before I buy. Anyone have an
idea what to do?
Thanks,
David

Hi Joe,
No, I never solved this one. And I tried everything I could
think of...uninstalling, cleaning out the preferences and other
application support files...reinstalling...no luck.
But, I have the full version coming this week. So, I will
have a license key to install...I suspect there will be another
problem that crops up...it may point to the root of the
problem...I'll post my experience--good or bad--here.
Cheers,
David

  • Adobe Creative Cloud apps runs trial mode in 2nd computer

    Hi,
    I have adobe creative cloud team subscription. In FAQ says I can install apps up to two computers.
    I have creative cloud install in Windows 7 PC and MacBook with same adobe ID, in windows 7 apps are working perfectly fine. But in MacBook apps are running in trial mode. Any reasons for this?
    Thank you...!

  • Photoshop says it's running in Trial mode.

    Hi there,
    10 days ago I purchased the Lightroom+Photoshop package. I went on to install that on my Mac Pro but now everytime I open Photoshop it pops open the Adobe Application Manager who reminds my that there are X days remaining on my Photoshop trial. Lightroom works without problems.
    I can click on either License this software or Contintue Trial. When I select license this software I get the message that login is required. It already knows my Adobe ID. When I click on the Sign In button it just goes to the next screen that asks for a serial number which I obviously don't have since it's a CC product and we don't get serial numbers.
    The strange part is, I also installed it on my MacBook Pro and it works flawlessly there. It activates/registers without issues.
    Yesterday I removed all the CC software with the provided Adobe CC removal tools. I also manually deleted every trace of Adobe files I could find on my system (application support files in both the Libraries, caches etc). I then went on to reinstall the software but the issue remains. Lightroom works, Photoshop keeps claiming it's running in trial mode.
    I searched for a solution to this problem on the internet and these forums at first. There are a lot of people having this issue but no real solution is given (or no solution that actually works for me). It seems to be a somewhat common issue unfortunately.
    One of the things I read is that it could be a language issue, when installing the software in a different language than your OS. My OS is in Dutch but I installed the software in English international (because I'm not used to a Dutch language photoshop, I get all lost if it's not in English ). But on the other hand, on my laptop the situation is exactly the same. Dutch OSX, English CC install. And yet that works perfectly.
    Also my hosts file is clean, nothing is blocking communication to Adobe servers. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting my account from inside the Creative Cloud menu app's settings to no avail.
    It frustrates me to no end that the almost exact same setup works on my laptop and not on my desktop machine. Especially because the Mac Pro is my work machine and I rarely, if ever, use Photoshop on my laptop.
    I really don't want to wait and see what happens in 20 days when the trial runs out. I don't know what to do anymore after doing that clean install (unless I missed just that crucial file that causes the issue..). Maybe it's an issue on the CC authentication server's end. Maybe I tried reinstalling too many times and it now thinks I'm running it on more than 2 computers? But that seems unlikely.
    I'm running OSX 10.9.2 on both machines.

  • Why is my paid Creative Cloud Membership running in Trial Mode?

    I have applied suggestion found in Help and Forum. Nothing Works.
    Suggestion 1.
    Unistall Adobe Creative Cloud reboot computer reinstall. Sign into Adobe with account. Done. Ground Hog Day. Same result. Trial Mode still
    Suggestion 2.
    Download and run Appliaction Manager.
    Deactivate software. Not possiable. Option NOT - note again NOT available. So why does the Help Page suggest an option that does not exist.
    I cannot believe how out of touch you guys are.

    You are talking to other forum members, here, although Adobe may peek in from time to time.
    Deactivating is a possibility with PS-CS6 and other non-Cloud products.  Without knowing what Help page you’re viewing it’s hard to judge how applicable it is.
    Deactivating a Cloud-licensed app is as simple as signing out of the Create Cloud Desktop app.  Presumably you’ve done this multiple times.
    If you haven’t yet, do a right-click Run as Administrator on the PS-CC shortcut to make sure it has complete access to update things.
    Try a modified version of Suggestion 2, after uninstalling, run the CC Cleaner app, then sign out of the CC Desktop app, then reboot and sign into the CC Desktop app if necessary, then reinstall.
    The CC Cleaner app is available, here:

  • Why is my Acrobat Pro now running in "Trial" mode?

    Today when I attempted to launch Acrobat v10.1.12 (previously installed with CS6), I was prompted to sign in.
    When I signed in, I am alerted that I am running in “Trial” mode. I am licensed to use Acrobat Pro through my CS6 license.
    I recently signed up for CC in order to open and work on newer files provided to me.
    Is this issue is related to the CC subscription, and how can it be resolved?

    It could be CC taking over the CS software regardless that it should not.  See if the following related posting helps:
    How do I prevent Creative Cloud from taking over my CS6 perpetual license?

  • Unable to run app in Restricted access or Available to developers modes.

    Hi
    We want to run the application in either Restricted access or Available to developers modes. so that we can move the changes from our QA to production and test it.

    Ram,
    1) not able change notification, application access restricted, Please try later(any way to put customized notification.?)I don't think so.
    2) Edit links are not available (any availability status to have these..?, other than available with edit links)No.
    You might want to implement this using authorization schemes. You would need a way to determine what privileges the authenticated user has then you could restrict access to the whole application or to certain pages based on the privilege.

  • CC subscription is current, but today all CC apps run only in TRIAL mode!?!

    This morning I get into the office, on a heavy deadline, and I'm screwed.
    My Creative Cloud membership is current, but suddenly, without any warning, ALL CC apps run only in TRIAL MODE.  Gee thanks, Adobe.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks for any help.

    Same problem here--I was on deadline, lost access to all my Adobe CS6 applications. According to the Adobe support tech I spoke with, the licensing process is corrupted and they're working on a fix. From the looks of the complaints on this forum, they've been working on it for quite awhile.
    Seems that IF your computer happens to be disconnected from the web when Adobe's cloudserver decides to send the "yup, he's paid up for this month" message, the system fails and your software shifts over to a 30-day trial. I was (seriously now) assured that all I had to do was make sure my computer was connected and ready for Adobe on my particular biiling cycle day (the 15th of the month) and then this would never happen.
    To fix the issue, I should click the "licensing" button, provide my Adobe ID and password, and all would be well until the following month.That worked for InDesign, didn't work for Photoshop or Fireworks. Failing that, I should uninstall and reinstall and relicense everything...and all would be well until the following month.
    I don't have time for these games; when I buy software I expect it to be available and I don't see why renting it should be any different. At the moment I'm out $30 worth of access.
    Fortunately, I'd never uninstalled my old CS5.5 collection. I'm sending a note to Adobe telling them to cancel my cloud subscription, and going back to plain old licensed software. If I ever need to upgrade CS apps again, I'll do them as-needed and stay the heck away from the cloud. Cloud SaS would be nice, but Adobe needs to get it right before they sell it.

  • Why it runs  in a Trial mode?

  • Z77a-g43 unable to run ram in dual channel mode

    In fact, I'm unable to run any configuration aside from where i have both modules in the 2 slots closest to the cpu. I tried every permutation with 2 sticks, both with my new g.skill ares 8gb sticks, and my old g.skill 4gb sticks.
    I would try manually increasing the voltage a little, but there are only 4 settings "1.35v, 1.5v, 1.65v, and 1.8v".

    Give 1.65v's a try, but from what you describe, it could be a problem in the CPU socket. Bent pin(s) or poor CPU pad to pin contact.
    Added: To be more thorough, it could also be a short between the mainboard and the case (errant standoff(s), faulty dimm slots (for two to be faulty, extremely rare), CPU faulty (again rather rare).
    2nd add: Actually, I missed another possible. Recommend to test each RAM stick individually in the primary dimm slot.

  • Still in trial mode despite use of redemption code

    I was given a year subscription by an adobe employee as they are trying to convert all the editors at my job to Premiere Pro from FCP. I received the email with the code and entered it, then I downloaded a bunch of apps but they all ask for a serial which I never got. Did I miss a step in the process or something?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Bernardosan72
    Sorry to hear you're still having difficulties. I looked at your order and it looks like the type of membership which should only require you signing in with your Adobe ID and no redemption code.  Do you see any kind of button at the bottom with a "License this software" option that you can use to sign-in? If for some reason Photoshop was unable to activate, that would be an explanation why its running in trial mode. In addition to the link John provided, this one might be useful too: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html
    If you continue to have difficulties, contacting our support via chat like John suggested would be a good next step.

  • Audition still in Trial mode

    I have enrolled in the Cloud and the money has gone from my account and yet my copy of Audition is still in trial mode with three days left. Telephone help is useless as they can barely speak any English. Answers please anyone??
    osx 10.8.5

    I can't help much with the Mac part of things (I run Audition on a Windows machine) but the set up in Audition is under the Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware Set up menu.
    Things to check would be:
    -that you have the most recent drivers for your audio interface installed.
    -that you select the proper type of driver for your device
    -that the right sound device is selected in both the Recording and Playback menus
    -that the sample rate and bit depth selected in Audition matches those selected in any control panel for your audio device.  The audio device might be a separate screen for a specialist audio interface or part of the basic Mac OS controls if you're using the inbuilt sound card.
    Sorry I can't be more specific.

  • Elements 11 - unable to switch editing modes after installing

    Hi, I have just installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I am unable to switch editing modes (quick / guided / expert). In fact, none of the buttons on the top bar responds to my clicks. In addition, I am unable to quit the programme, instead, I have to force quit it each time.

    Thanks for the replies.  I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/   I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop.  I restarted my computer.  Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened.  I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked.  Don't ask my why, but it did the job!
