Upgrade from trial to full

Hi all,
I downloaded the trial and ordered the full version the same day. It is finally due to arrive this afternoon. Do I simply plug the serial number from the full version into the trial to unlock it or am I better off un-installing the trial and starting from scratch? Is there any difference?
Thanks, Rich

There's no separate trial version, it's just the full version without valid SN entered. So, entering the serial number does the job.

I just purchased the upgrade from trial to full version. It does not work. It asks for my orginal serial key and when I paste in the trial key it says invalid??

Downloaded trial and then purchased the activate the full version option. The activation keys don't work. It wants an 'original' key. When I use the trial key it rejects it as invalid! Have I just been robbed of 75 quid?

lanceblack,
You know, I had seen your similar post in other forum with same issue. This itself is confusing for other participants including myself to keep track of forum discussion regarding same issue.
It would be nice if you keep your issue in proper forum in one place, less confusion for others.
Corky02 said better than I did yesterday. I am not quite sure why or what impresssion that you'd easily upgrade from try-out app into full-license. For many people are aware that what it means or what does this having to do with upgrading qualification with any applications. Why did you think you would get to upgrade that easily from trail try out app to licensed one?
I don't think the Apple's ads are misleading. I just think you got yourself confused. Sorry I can't help you. IF I am Apple employee, I would love to help you and get this resolved for you. I am just one of those participants helping others.
Once again, I am sorry that you get your view all wrong and lead into thinking that you are entitled to do so. But you need to understand that once if you had purchased a full license app from try-out app. Most people know what does that mean with try out app for the first time. And most people know that if they wish to purchase an application, this means purchasing a boxed (or electronic downloaded file) from Apple retail store (or online store). Plus, new venue at Apple offering Mac App store. I think that is a little confusion for some people who are not familiar with the difference.
I do believe that if you purchase from Mac App store, it doesn't require to put in license serial number. I think it is a different approach for some reason. I had bought some other Mac apps (not Aperture) from Mac App store few times. I haven't purchased Aperture updated version straight from Mac App store online. I bought mine from Apple retail store in Canada in person.
I still don't understand why you still think Apple is misleading you all the way. I don't think it is. In case if you haven't notice... there is way for you to get in touch with Apple called Apple Support Express Lane. Give it a try.

Lightroom: upgrade from trial to full version, how to enter license key?

I installed Lightroom from Creative Cloud (CC) trial on Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit. The version is LR 5.6. I do not want CC, so I purchased the full version of LR on DVD. I was going to reinstall LR from the DVD, but see that it is only version 5.2. I have already done a fair amount of work with the trial LR 5.6 and am worried about losing the catalog that I have created.
So I thought I could apply the full version license key to the trial install, but there is no place to do that within LR. When I bring up the CC master application it shows that I have 5 days left with LR, but still has no way to apply a license key.
I had a very long and frustrating chat session with tech support. In the end I was advised to uninstall the trial, then install the full version. I might be able to download LR 5.6 full and simply install that.
So let me summarize my questions:
Is there any way to apply the license key for standalone full version of LR to the trial version that was installed using CC?
If I uninstall trial version, will I be able to install LR 5.6 download and apply license key?
If I cannot install from download and instead have to install from purchased DVD, will version 5.2 be able to import the existing catalog? Will subsequent upgrade(s) to 5.6 go smoothly?
What about the catalog? Will the existing catalog simply be found during a new installation? Or do I have to manually import?
I've found the community help in the LR forum to be very good - and that is why I am abandoning ACDSee after many years Thank you all for your help.

You should just uninstall what you have installed for LR 5.x, now, then download and install the LR 5.6 update from the Adobe Updates page, and enter your standalone serial number, and things should pick up where you left off.
You might want to go into LR’s preferences (if LR is still opening for you) and see where the catalog (.lrcat) file actually resides on your computer in case you have a problem and have to double-click on that .lrcat file to open your catalog, but my experience is that nothing will seem different after you’ve installed the new version other than the version number will be newer. The preferences, catalog, and pictures are somewhere different than where the program is installed so uninstalling and reinstalling shouldn’t affect any of it.
LR 5.6 update is here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
FYI, the CC-LR is licensed by logging into CC, the standalone version is licensed by entering a serial number. That is why you have to uninstall the CC_licensed version and install the non-CC-licensed version.
It also probably wouldn’t mess anything up to install LR 5.2 from the DVD, but then you’d have to turn around and immediately download the LR 5.6 update, anyway, and it would waste time, so why not start with the latest update. The update is a fully function program, not a patch to an existing program. It’ll either find your existing licensing information if you’ve already entered the serial number or ask for a serial number if it doesn’t find anything—which sounds like your situation.

Upgrading from trial ... lost trial licence key

I have a trial version of Aperture 3. My 30-day trial expired some time ago. Today I purchased a serial number from the Apple Store, selecting the option to upgrade from a trial version. When I enter the activation key, Aperture throws up a message saying "You have entered an upgrade serial number. Please enter your original serial number". ARGGGH ... I have a trial key obtained in Feb 2010 but it does not work. It may not be the trial key that I used on this particular machine.
I thought perhaps I could remove the serial number Aperture is using on my computer then I could obtain a new trial license then I ought to be able to upgrade with my new purchased key. But I don't know how to remove the serial number. I see advice in previous posts to delete a file located in Library/Application Support/ProApps/Apperture. But there is no folder named Aperture in the ProApps folder. Is the license key now found somewhere else??
McCult

did you enter your first full version serial number (from Version 1 or version 2)
it isn't an upgrade from the trial version it is upgrade from a previous full version.
if you don't have a full version you need to pay the full $ 199 US

Move from Trial to Full version

Have the FIM trial installed. Using it to migrate accounts from one Domain to Another.
We purchased the Full version.
How can i move from Trial to Full. Any docs on this ? need to make sure nothing happens to migration or i go on unemployment line :)

Should be enough to upgrade sync service to your licensed version. Remember to backup configuration and encryption key.

Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
Thank you

Hi cguay01,
As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
blog. 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
According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
There is also a similar thread for your reference.

Upgrading from trial to paid

Hi,
I just upgraded from trial to paid (final cut pro x)
I thought it would just unlock the trial version, but instead it started downloading the 1.51 GB file again
(I clicked the buy button from the trial, it appeared to try to open the app store, but didn't,
so I opened it, searched and bought)
My questions are:
1) Is there some way to just update the trial so I don't have to wait for this download
2) Biggest one, is wil my files from the trial be accessible?
I had 2 projects I put a lot of time into in there
Thanks

Your existing Projects and Events will still be there when the paid version is installed and you can carry on editing them if you wish.
As far as I know, you have to wait for it to reinstall - which is curious because Apple claim the versions are identical.

Upgrade from trial pages to licenced

i have recently purchased pages from the app store,but im unable to upgrade from trial to licenced, i recieved email but no licence number can anybody tell me how to retrieve my licence number please.

Mark is correct; apps from the Mac App Store do not have licenses codes. He's also correct that you will need to completely uninstall iWork:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=105&mforum=iworktips ntrick
and then go to the Purchases section of the Mac App Store and download Pages again. That should then work.

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3 multi cam does not work

After "upgrading" from trial to FCPX 10.0.3, multi cam does not work anymore. Everything was fine in the trial version, but now the multicam clip I made in trail is shown, but not with the 4 windows, only the first angle can be seen. And I can not find (import) the cuts I made in the trail. The settings are the same in both versions. Am I missing something? Is it possible that I have to start from scratch and all work is lost?
When I double click the multi cam clip I see all four angles in the timeline, one underneath the other...
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

There is an excellent podcast tutorial series called "Creative COW Final Cut Help Tutorials Podcast (SD)"
in the iTunes Store.
The latest three are video podcasts and go into great depth concerning the new Multicam in 10.0.3
Can't recommend them enough.

Upgrading from trial verion to full version.

Hello all,
Our company has just download the trail version for Sun One Web Server 6.1. Now we are all happy with it and going to buy a full version. My question is do we need to reinstall the trail version or there is a place to enter the licence key? We all don't want to redo it again since there are so many custom steps already done.
Thank you,
le9569

You don't need to reinstall or enter a license key. There is only one release of the software. There aren't separate "trial" and "full" versions, only different license agreements.

From trial to full version?

Hope this is the right forum for this question.
My Adobe Acrobat XL Pro trial version has expired and I wanted to upgrade it. There was a "buy" button and from that point everything got very confusing. I can choose to buy a full version for 6371sek (unsure of whats included in this) or upgrade 2730sek (upgrade from what? trial? and what do I get?). What way do I go to get exactly what I experienced in the trial version, with form central included? Appreciate all help.

The Acrobat Pro XI (11) upgrade is a special price for people who own Acrobat Pro X (10) or Acrobat Pro 9. It will not install for anyone who does not already own the older software.
(I am not sure if Form Central requires a separate subscription -- see this page https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en_GB/landing/axifcpricing2.html)

Upgrading from trial

Hi all,
New user here seeking help for the following problem:
I have just bought an upgrade license to go from Trial to Paid.
I have received my confirmation email, the serial number etc. But when I try to enter the said serial number Aperture tells me that I am "upgrading" and asks for my original serial number. I input the trial serial number I received from Apple upon registering the trial and Aperture tells me that this original number is not valid and shuts down the program.
consequently I can't input my new serial number.
What do I have to do? What am I doing wrong?

I think you have bought the upgrade version when you should have bought the 'full' version. The trial is a full version of the application, so you can't 'upgrade' to it.

Upgrade from Trial

Hi,
I'm thinking of installing the Windows 8.1 Enterprise 90 Day Trial on my laptop. After the evaluation period has passed, will I have the option to upgrade to a full license, and at what cost? Can I upgrade from the Enterprise Trial to another edition of
Windows 8.1, like Windows 8.1 Pro or the standard edition, or would this require a new installation?
Thanks.

Hi there,
Yes you can upgrade to full license version.. to buy a licensed copy:-
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/update-from-preview
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows/buy
Also installing different editions need a new install

Not sure why the adobe email bounces, but they probably can't get you anything more than a contact for a reseller anyhow.
