Hi,

I just had a replacement iMac delivered after my previous one blew up after 5 days.. While waiting, I’d installed Photoshop CS4 (trial) on my MacBook Pro, along with Lightroom (Trial) while I wait for my cross grades (just switched from Windows).

Anyway, as I didn’t want to spend another few days setting up the new iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to copy my applications and documents across from the MacBook Pro to the new iMac..

Lightroom works fine, and tells me I’ve got about 14 days left of the trial, same as the MacBook.. no problem there (though I should have installed afresh to get 30 days methinks.. ;-))

BUT – Photoshop CS4 – when I ran the trial of that, it told me that my trial would expire on it’s next run… so it’s been on there less than a day, and now won’t run unless I enter a valid serial number…
I’ve tried reinstalling, but it still tells me the trial has expired…

Anything I can do to get the trial period back? Lightroom works fine, not sure why Photoshop hasn’t…
