Why is the trial version of iWork '09 not accepting my boxed serial?

Recently my MBP crashed, which caused me to lose everything on there, including my iWork software.
My install disc is in another country and I won't be there for at least a few months. I have the serial number, but the trial version of iWork I downloaded doesn't seem to be taking it.
Then again, it says:
If you've purchased an iWork '09 box, install from the DVD and follow the onscreen instructions. If you purcharsed a serial number for iWork '09 from an Apple Online store, the serial number was emailed to you.
Does this mean that 'boxed serials' (not to be confused with boxed cereals) won't work on the downloaded trial version of iWork?

As Fruhulda wrote, there is no serial number for the in_a_box iWork '09 so what you wrote is inaccurate !
If you have a serial number, it's not related to the in_a_box iWork '09.
Are you sure that what you had is iWork '09 ?
If your serial number is one related to iWork '08, it's normal that it doesn't apply to the iWork '09 trial.
If it's that, you may get the iWork '08 trial on my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '08:iWork08Trial.dmg
I wish to add that before installing the in_a_box iWork '09, we must remove every files related to the trial version.
This is why I delivered an uninstall script.
Go to my iDisk (address below)
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
expand it and run the script.

  • Where has the trial version of iWork 08 gone?

    When iWork 08 came out, I downloaded the trial version of the software. Then, I bought a Serial Key Number. So far so good.
    Recently, I wanted to install iWork on another Macbook, but lost the original
    pkg or dmg (not sure which one it was). So I tried to download the trial version again and unlock it with the already bought key.
    But on the site
    http://www.apple.com/iwork/trial/
    there is no link to the software anymore.
    Where did it gone?

    The link is right there with the graphic taking up the upper left of the page.

  • Why is the mac version of Open GL not up to date with the latest version?

    I own a 15 inch MacBookPro9,1 Mid 2012 . It has a dedicated graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M) that can handle Open GL 4.4 according to NVIDIA s website: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-650m/specifications
    however according to apple the Open GL driver in Mavericks is only 4.1 I am just wondering why a Open GL version from 2010 is shipped into a 2013 OS X?

  • I want to download the 'TRIAL' version of Acrobat 'Standard' not the 'Pro' version

    I want to buy the Acrobat Standard version for my company's laptop, but I need to make sure that Acrobat Standard is enough for my work or not. However, I can download only the Pro version of Acrobat which I don't need to. How can I have a trial version of Acrobat Standard

    Hi Nawanat,
    You cannot install a trial version of Acrobat Std. as it's not available.
    The main differences between Acrobat 11 Pro and Std. are http://www.adobe.com/in/products/acrobat/product-comparison.html
    You can use the trial version of Pro for 30 days and compare the features you require and those you can afford to miss in the Std. version

  • Where can I download the trial version of Photoshop CS6 NOT Photoshop CS6 Extended

    I'm trying to download the trial version of Photoshop CS6, but adobe just returns me the download page of Photoshop CS6 Extended. Where can I download that? Is that available as a trial?

    The only way is to buy a license I have complained to Adobe for I do not want to be a beta tester and do not want to even see extended feature during a trial.  I talk for over an hour with their support on the phone before paying for a licence.  They told me the bug I wated fixed in CS5 was fixed in CS6 so I sprung for a license only to find out they lied the bug is still in CS6 andAdobe has added additional bugs. Things that work in the past now have bugs.  IMO what I paid for is a beta not a good release so many Actions and Scripts fail if your preferences is set to edit in floading windows. The Only way to even use CS6 it to edit with preference set to open in tabs then float windows with tabs option in effect.   New features support like Bicubic Automatic was not added to Photoshop Scripting which breaks Script that reference a users interpolaton preference when the preference is the default Bicubic Automatic.  Installing the Script listener disables the new allow tool recording option. The new Allow Tool Recording is machine dependant recording a massive amount of data on fast machine and a small amount of data on slow machines. Playing an action that record tools on a fasts machine when played on a slow machine is unuseable. There is at least one new bug in the Action player and one new bug in the Action recorder.  The there are other new features like content aware move the feature may work on a document where the move is relatily easy to pull off.  Professional as well as well as amatures tha pay the price for Photoshop want tools that are well designed and work not tools that may work on some machines or  work on easy problems not hard ones. IMO CS6 as is is beta code and has some design flaws as well.

  • The latest versions of iWork are not installing from the AppStore

    I have a new iMac with the bundled copies of Pages 5.0, Keynote 6.0 and Numbers 3.0
    The AppStore showed Updates so I updated these and AppStore now things I have Pages 5.1, Numbers 3.1 and Keynote 6.1 installed.
    However the versions in my Applications folder stubbornly remain the old versions.  When I open the Apps they say "A new version is available" so I click on Update which takes me to the App Store which says the software is all up-to-date!
    How do I get the latest versions
    (Other apps seem to owrk OK - e..g latest update to iMovie worked fine)
    Thanks

    Pretty much the same - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24697344#24697344.
    Today, the App Store is again offering me updates to these iWork apps (for the 4th time, now) e.g. Pages 5.1. etc
    Although it said it had updated to 5.1 last time, the /Library/Receipts/InstallHistory.plist indicates that Apple downloaded 5.0.1 again! So of course when I opened it after updating, it was still 5.0.1.
    These forums seem to be quite angry still about these latest versions of iWork vs the previous '09 versions, see also this in the Pages forum https://discussions.apple.com/message/24701724#24701724. Not sure that there is much interest in getting 5.1 issues solved?
    Cheers

  • Is the Trial Version a Trap?

    I have installed the trial version of iwork 09 and registered it with Apple. The new features are nice but I am not sure if my usage justifies spending another 70 € so soon after having purchased iwork 08 in November.
    The problem now is that even having saved my life´s work using "save as" as directed by a popup box, subsequent trying to open the file in numbers 08 gives an error message that "xml index file is not available".
    Does this mean that I am now obliged to buy iwork 09 to get back my information and is the trial version a trap for the unwary?

    Thanks for that information. It seems Apple has taken the same approach as the previous upgrade. It wouldn't be so bad if it recognised, or there was an option to say it is a previous iWork version document so it saves it as such when you save. Currently you have to go to save as and then you can't save as the current file name as your open file because it is already open! It is all a bit cumbersome. What would be nice is an intelligent file format that transparently saves in a format that makes it possible to open it in any version of iwork though I suppose that would require an update to previous versions when new ones come out to take into account the new features etc.

  • Hi Folks : Down loaded the trial version, Having problems installing it from CD

    Hi Folks:
    Downloaded the Trial version of IWORKS. Bought the CD installed it , keeps on asking for serial number. Deleted the Trial version loaded it again still no luck keeps on asking for serial number. Any suggestions???

    It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
    Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.
    FYI: there is no 's' in iWrok

  • Iwork 05 trial version and iwork 06 purchase failure.

    Help. When I purchased my powerbook G4 it came with the trial version of iwork 05. After getting around to trying it and getting hooked I decided to purchase it. Well, all I could find was iwork 06. So I bought the code to unlock (not the disc version) and every time I put the code (copy and paste from confirmation e-mail) in I get the message that I have an invalid key. I've done the upgrades for iwork 05 and still get the invalid key error message. If anyone can provide assistance...

    iWork '06 doesn't update iWork '05, they sit in separate folders (with the respective names) so you have to launch Pages or Keynote from the iWork '06 folder to get to the appropriate dialog for entering the key.
    iWork '06 keys will definitely not be recognized by iWork '05 or vice versa, they seem to be totally different applications.
    If you're still having trouble you might want to go to /Library/Preferences/ and delete the com.apple.iWork plist file. Also, when you copy and paste from the confirmation email you may want to make sure you're not getting additional characters. iWork is quite finicky about needing the dashes, and the right case (I think)

  • Why does the new version not have back-up disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Why does the new version of i-tunes not have back-up to disc in the library file? And how do I fix it?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • FCP X cannot open project that I created in the trial version

    I bought FCP X. Now I am trying to open projects that I worked on in the trial version but they will not open.
    I get the following message:
    I already trashed the trial version.
    Can somebody help me?
    Thanks

    You cannot open projects in FCP. You need to update your projects and events for the new version. Read about it. Start here
