I have tried the PS CS4 on a Win XP + SP3.
After 10 days of trial, when opening it, it gave me a warning that it is the last time it will open.
Are there any other criteria, such as the number of times, that limit the usage of the trial version on top of the 30 days?

Thanks,
David

No. Have you been playing with the system clock?

Or more down to the point: Did you install any Adobe tools/ changed something? If the licensing system shuts down your apps, then the disk fingerprint and/or some file hash has changed, making it think the files are no longer valid. If you cannot revive it by using the tips provided on the knowledge base (search for "licensing this product has stopped working" and "CS4"), then you may attempt a call to support.

Once the trial times out there’s no way to revive it short of a full disk format and system re-installation.
