Upgrade from trial version to full

I wonder if someone can assist, although this is not a tech query. I am currently using Elements 7 and considering upgrading to Photoshop CS5. I can take the upgrade path and save nearly £100. Further, if I order the boxed version from Adobe instead of downloading it I can save a further £20 or so (no, I don't understand why either!). However, if I download and install the trial version of CS5 before deciding to buy I am concerned that these options may no longer be available if I do choose to buy. I would hate to find that, by installing the trial version first it might cost me about £120.00. Is there anyone who can comment on this with authority?
Many thanks
Paul

Why should Adobe care about you trying their software? No, this wil lhave no influence on the actual purchase. Two unrelated systems. they may even offer you another upgrade path with additional discounts when sending you those trial reminders...

Help Upgrading from Trial version to Full version of PSE 10. Buy Now Link in my Editor not working

Went to convert from my free trial and purchase full version. When I hit the "Buy Now" button within my Editor, nothing happens. How do I proceed to upgrade? Thank you for your time and help!

[email protected] I would recommend purchasing the software directly from our website. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html After you make the purchase you can then enter the serial number you received into the trial.

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.

Color shift going from trial version to full version CS5

Hi guys, I have just gone from trial version of CS5 master collection to a full version of master collection CS5 on my PC.
My trial expired so I uninstalled it completely, then reinstalled fresh from the CS5 DVD. I also updated all of the programs straight after the install. (something which I don't think I did with the trial version).
My problem now is though I am experiencing quite a big color shift from what the trial version was showing me to what my full version is showing me. (Yes I have checked the color settings, they are all pretty much default North American General Purpose 2)
In the trial version the colors were correct, but now my file I am working on my "mouve blue have moved into almost a purple appearance."
Also if I go into acrobat and open the PDF version of the file I was previously working on the colors are also displaying incorrectly when opening the PDF that was created in the trial (which was displaying correct when using the trial). So I guess its not just PS related.
I have a laptop which is also running a trial version of master collection, and when I copy my file to this machine and open the colors are spot on how they should be (just like they were prior to me going full version) which tells me something has definatley changed in this installed full version of CS5 for me.
Not sure what I should do, unstall the software and reinstall it without doing the updates?
PS. Under color managment / advanced, windows color system defaults, my Device profile is: System Default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
Viewing conditions profile: System default (WCS profile for sRGB viewing conditions)
I havent changed anything there anyway in any install.
Any help would be great

Some key points to help understand why you might be seeing what you are:
When color-management is set up properly with a wide gamut monitor, sRGB images can seem dull and lifeless compared to wider gamut images such as those expressed in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.
Not all apps are color-managed, so with e.g. a wide gamut monitor you'll see a significant visual difference between the same image displayed via a color-managed app such as Photoshop and a non-color-managed app such as Internet Explorer 8 and earlier. Even though the color-managed applications may be displaying accurate color, many folks feel the inconsistency is "wrong" as compared to when more different apps display the same colors, which will happen with sRGB as the monitor profile (which is the Windows default).
People often consider more vibrant, saturated color "better".
Color management often does not actually work properly. Not all profiles are created equal, even properly formatted monitor profiles may not accurately express the monitor's capabilities, and not all color management in applications is done properly. You're not the first to report problems with a canned Dell monitor profile.

Upgrade from trial version

How does one upgrade their trial version of Lightroom 5 (i.e. pay for a license) without having to re-install so the existing catalogue of photographs etc isn't deleted?
Thanks

Unless I am missing something glaringly obvious, I cannot find any option to buy, register, upgrade to a full version of LR. I can see I have two days left of a trial but there is no 'Lightroom Registration' option under help to just simply progress to purchase.
I also find it confusing and frustrating that options are wrapped up in CC membership - I own CS6, don't want to pay monthly - I just want to buy it, be assured I have a full version and get on with working with LR as I have been.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've exhausted forums and Adobe website. As I say, might be missing something simple - so humble enough to have it pointed out to me.
Many thanks.

Upgrading from trial version of iWork08

I'd like to obtain a serial number for iWork08 to upgrade my trial version. Is it possible just to buy a serial number and have it e-mailed to me, or do I have to buy the software package and wait for the CD in the post.?

Dan,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You can buy the serial number from the Apple store. They'll email you the number shortly after the purchase. If you've already got the trial version, there's no need to install anything else. Just pull down the Pages menu and select Register Pages, then key in the serial number.

From trial version to full version

I've been working with the trial version of the Aperture 3.1.2.
Now I want to buy the full version (the version I have is full but it will expire in 10 days).
I just want to be sure, if I buy if from the app store on my Mac, that I'll just get the key and don't have to download the whole program again. I've put in a lot of work to get my albums and stuff all sorted and I would REALLY hate to start over.
I just want to be sure before I do anything stupid.
And I do want to buy it from the app store on my Mac cause it's about $100 cheaper then buying the box.
Thanks so much
Sophie

And to be clear, no matter how you download and install Aperture, any Library (you can have more than one) you created will still be there afterwards. Installing the App Store version (which you're going to have to do) doesn't overwrite the Library you created with the Trial Version. At worst, when you start up the purchased version you might have to tell it where your Library is, if you don't have it in your Pictures folder.

Original serial number when upgrading from Trial version

Hi,
I just bought LR 5.5 because my Trial version was over. When trying to put in the serial number, it says "This is an upgrade serial number. The serial number for your previous version of Lightroom is also required." I do not have the original serial number. Am I missing something here?
I had bought Lightroom 5 stand alone and the email I got says I bought following:
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5
US$79.00
Upgrade, Mac/Win, English, Download
Is it not the right version to buy?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue now too - I purchased the "Lightroom 5 Standalone perpetual license - Mobile capabilities not included" today and it won't let me register with the serial number I got in the e-mail confirmation because it advised I needed the original product serial number too. No where in the purchase process of the Stand Alone did it say anything about this being an upgrade. This is very deceptive by Adobe. Is the Stand Alone product really just an upgrade? How do I get this resolved?
Lightroom 5 standalone
Perpetual license – mobile capabilities not included.

Upgrading from trial version

I currently have a trial version of photoshop elements 11 and have been given a present of the full version on disc. Should I uninstall the trial version before uploading the disc or what is the best way to do it.

There is really no need to install the disc version photoshop elements 11.
(the two versions should be the same as far as i know)
Just enter your serial number into the trial version that you already have installed.

Problem from trial version to full

Hey, i upgrade my trial account but when i turn on my lightroom, he ask me for serial number. Where i can get my serial number or why my program not updating automatically for new license?

Ask for serial number http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1234635 has a FAQ link
or
Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

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.

When going from Trial version to full must you uninstall and reinstall?

Windows user here with two questions:
I currently use Lightroom 1.4 at work and would like to look into upgrading to 2.0. If I load the trial 2.0 version will it overwrite 1.4?
Once I load 2.0 and decide it's worth the upgrade (multi monitor alone makes me think it is) do I simply enter in a purchased serial number or do you have to uninstall the trial and then purchase/install the full?
Thanks
Bryan

>I currently use Lightroom 1.4 at work and would like to look into upgrading to 2.0. If I load the trial 2.0 version will it overwrite 1.4?
No...although some people suggest removing 1.4.1 after installing 2.0. YMMV
>Once I load 2.0 and decide it's worth the upgrade (multi monitor alone makes me think it is) do I simply enter in a purchased serial number or do you have to uninstall the trial and then purchase/install the full?
Yes, just enter the serial number provided upon purchase the next time you launch (instead of clicking on demo).

Upgraded from Trial version to Basic FormsCentral for 14.99

however, it still says on the bottom that I only have 1 more form available. does this mean that the system hasn't upgraded my account yet? what should i do?

this is what the page says: when you go to my purchased services under main adobe.com
Subscription level:Adobe FormsCentral Basic Service (US $14.99 Monthly) | edit Subscription status:ActiveRenewal status:Auto-renewal on | editNext billing date:Dec 26, 2013Purchased on:Nov 26, 2013
however, when i log into adobe formscentral it tells me i have 1 more form left and if i want to use more forms i have to upgrade and if i click it it takes me to two options, TRIAL and 11.99 a month..... so it clearly isn't recognizing that i have upgraded my account..
what should i do?

How to switch from Trial version of CC apps to Full version purchased for me.

I recently joined a new company. First day on the job, I downloaded trial versions of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop only to find out that the company had purchased a subscription for Creative Cloud for me. How do I get off the trial versions and onto the full versions?

Hi avgjoe62,
You can simply use the email address used to purchase the subscription to license the software from trial version.
The subscription is linked to the Adobe ID (email address).

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.
