Illustrator Trial and annoyment.

[alanbloom]

Hi there

This sounds dodgy but I want to get a working verison of Adobe CS2 from trial versions.

I had the full CS1 and it messed up - it spurred me to upgrade. I downloaded the trial versions and then ordered the new CS2 quite (full!). But I managed to find it cheaper on a different site than the Adobe.

It's on order but it still over a week away! My trial versions are over but I want to be able to use CS2. Is there anything I can do? Reinstalling the operating system is not a clever answer - too much crap to go through.

Are there any cracks? I realise this is dodgy but thought I might as well ask!

...you can try deleting all searchable files on your hard disk that relate to illustrator cs2 trial and reinstall it...

...other than this i can't help you out, i am not one to promote copyright or cracking techniques...

best of luck!

Why don't you just reinstall CS1 from you rauthorized cd with its proper install code numbers. It's not that much different from 2 and will cerainly get the job done.

I know but all the CS1 is messed up - besides, a lot of the files I need to work on are now CS2 saved and some are not going easily back into CS1...

So what exactly does "all messed up" mean?

It was a problem that didn't seem to have any good solutions.

Suddenly, Photoshop stopped working by saying 'can't load because of program error'. Then, when I tried to reload it, it bounced on the task bar and then dissappeared again. I then realised that this happened to every Adobe application - they would start to load and then quit immediately.

I put all the circumstances onto about 10 leads in Adobe.com forums and Apple.com forums and over 300 people viewed it. All the suggestions given didn't end up working - lots of things with reinstalling, fonts, caches, etc.

I got the new trial versions and they worked so was happy to use them. I didn't really want to do an Archive and Install...
