A 10.5 era machine is better left on 10.6.8
I don't advise upgrading it to 10.7 as you'll have to buy all new versions of software for a older model machine, some are not ready yet and some of your third party driver software may not be available for your other hardware.
10.7 is slower and requires 4GB of RAM actually.
10.8 is being released this summer and it won't run on certain older graphic cards, so shortly you will be behind again.
Save your money for a new 10.8 machine. IMO
These rapid OS X upgrades are for those who like to be on the cutting edge and can afford to buy new hardware often, you didn't even upgrade to 10.6, so your not that sort of person obviously.
But you do need to upgrade to 10.6 for security issues and faster video. It will run your 10.5 Rosetta software, but 10.7 will not.

Evaluation Version to Full Version

I have installed Windows Storage Server 2012 Evaluation Copy and when I am trying to upgrade it to the full version by using the
OEM non SLP key, I am getting the below attached error.
Kindly help me in rectifying the same and it would be helpful if you can share the steps which I need to follow to upgrade it to the higher version.

Hi Ashish Mangtani,
If the server is running an evaluation version of Windows Server 2012 Standard or Windows Server 2012 Datacenter, you can convert it to a retail version, you can also convert
Windows Server 2012 Standard to the retail version of Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.

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.

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.

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.

Change from Office Test Drive to Full Version without losing files

So my trial is almost up and I need to download the full version. In browsing earlier discussions, it seems there are a few different ways to uninstall Test Drive - how should I do it so that none of the Word docs I saved get lost?
Thanks!

is there anything in particular i should do to save/transfer my office documents to NeoOffice?
Just open them with NeoOffice and it should be fine.
Note that if you thereafter need to send a document to a use of Microsoft Office, you'll want to make sure that NeoOffice saves it in an Office-compatible format (the default document format isn't Office-compatible, and I can't find a way to reset that default format though there may be an option I'm missing).

I ordered the upgrade instead of the full version how can I fix this?

I bought the upgrade lightroom 5 instead of the actual program. What can I do to fix this?

No I never had the full version. I meant to purchase Lightroom 5 but instead I purchased the upgrade.

Trial Version vs Full Version?

I've just downloaded and installed the trial version of Sun Java Studio Creator, on my laptop running Fedora 2, and I'm not finding it intuitive at all. For example, I was trying to build a test website and I spent a 1/2 hour trying to figure out how to align text in a component (not ot mention resize and change the color of the text).
Is it me? Or is it just that the trail version doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the full version does?
Dracco

Hi Dracco
The trial version doesnot have any restrictions on these features. Please check the tutorials and see what you are missing.
Thanks

HT202389 Final Cut Pro Trial version to full version

Can you import from trial version to the full version which is downloaded on a different computer? F

Don't worry you won't lose your work unless you do something like delete the library.
To work efficiently, all your media and projects should be on an independent HD but I assume yours is the the Movies folder on your laptop.
If you have enabled sharing between both computers, you can simply connect them together and drag the Library in question from one device to the other using finder.
Far better to put the library onto an external HD - and back it up onto another drive for safe keeping. Drives fail occasionally, with catastrophic results for video projects.

Policy regarding updating CS2 Design Premium Education Version to full version of CS4

I currently have the education version of CS2 Design Premium, and would like to upgrade to the full version of CS4 Design Premium. Am I eligible? And at what price?

Buko, It is faster, but not enough for me to invest in the equipment ($300.+) & then pay the $60-$120. @ month for 2 years! ( the $120. gets ya about what speed a midrange phone line DSL offers at $25. a month) oh well AT&T keeps saying "any day now, any day" HA!
Neil, should anything created in the CS4 version be saved (i imagine) in a CS2 format so it can be opened If I decide or can't afford to update before trial runs out and if so can ya make a guess if I would be able to edit anything at all? (way not computer savvy!!) CS2/Studio8 is my first foray into digital design!
Thanks Again my friends, I am continuing to be amazed at what I can & do learn on these forums! Les
PS Thanks also to Adobe for these forums

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.

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.

Trial version affecting full version install??

Hi guys.
I installed the trial version of Photoshop Cs4 extended then i bought the standard verion of Cs4 and uninstalled the extended trial.
Now when i try to install Cs4 it asks for a serial code on startup and the header bar says Cs4 extended. it also says extended in the startup box(with the creators names in)
I have tried the Cs4 clean up script as well as revo uninstaller to try and get rid of the trial completely but when i install the full version it still says extended.
Just wondering of there was anything else i can try? or whether this problem should be occurring at all?
Thanks
John

The trial version is the same as the purchased version.
Have you tried content aware move?
It's the tool bottom left in the tools pallet in expert mode.

Have bought P.E.10; how convert my trial version to full version?

Have bought Photoshop Elements 10. Had trouble installing it. Forum advised downloading trial version, then converting that. Have downloaded trial version successfully. But how do I now convert to Full Version without buying what I've already bought (I have a disk, a serial number, the whole package)? Many, many thanks if someone can answer this!!

Dear Gautham K., et. al,
Ah, I was somehow doing both the trial version and the disk version at the same time. I entered that long serial number at one point. And I'm not getting a countdown of days left when I open my Photoshop Elements. So it looks like I might have inadvertently installed the full version--yay! (will know for certain when the 30 days are up if my Adobe doesn't go kaput). In this case, I feel like a dunce. But I'm a grateful dunce and thank you, thank you, thank you for this information!! Can't tell you how much people like me deeply appreciate such help. There's a special place in Heaven, etc….
RSA12
P.S. BTW, others installing a purchased Photoshop Elements on a new Mac Lion might note that they have to go through steps to get a Photoshop Elements Installer FIRST or the software won't load. None of the Adobe instructions told me that and that's partially how I stumbled into a kind of shaky limbo.
