Photoshop CS Trial Problem

In news:PEmpson181 typed:

I installed the trial version of Photoshop CS and after a couple days had to delete and reinstall it. Now it says the trial period is expired even though I barely had a chance to look at it. I tried to uninstall it the second time but that didn’t work–still says it’s expired when I installed for the 3rd time.

How do I get rid of the time limit so I can get the full use of the 30-day trial period?

You’re lucky, you’ve had it for a couple of days; I’ve had the "trial period is over" message when I tried to start it for the first time, right after install. Then, I borrowed a retail copy a friend just bought thinking I would use it for the grace period of the activation, well, it asked for activation the first time I tried to run it after install and wouldn’t start; Now I figured I dont need it that much anyway 🙂

Now that’s what I call a really helpful response. What’s the point of it?

Top-posting twat. The OP asked for help with a problem – he wasn’t looking for slackjaws such as you to announce to him that they had never encountered the problem. If everybody who had never had the problem responded the whole thing would pretty quickly get out of hand and every thread would contain 14000 posts wouldn’t it you bloody microbrain.

It has been quite some time since I have been paid such a wonderful compliment.

Thank you!

ps – jealous?

I agree with Le phant. What exactly WAS the point of your vacuous response to the OP? Unless maybe you really are just slack jawed, in which case I forgive you.
Must be hell on your knuckles when you have to walk anywhere.

Yes, that’s correct.

When you install the trial version, it records the date and time the trial will expire in your system’s Registry. When you delete the software, it leaves this information still in the Registry; this is to prevent people from continuing to use the software indefinitely without paying for it.

You need to remove the Registry information pertaining to the Photoshop CS trial before you re-install the trial version. There are Registry tools available online at places like download.com and versiontracker.com, and you can also use the built-in program "Regedit" from your Start->Run menu.

Be aware that editing the Registry incorrectly may make your system unusable! The Registry contains information, including the location of driver files and system components, critical to Windows; if you make a mistake and screw up your Registry, you may have to comp-letely re-install Windows to fix it.

Forgive me for asking Tacit but will the registry details interfere with a full install of PSCS or ACS later on?

As far as I know, no. The Registry entries are only relevant to the trial versions of the software.
