Expiry of the Trial Version of CS4 prevents the installation from CD

Hi all

Once more into the breech.

I tried for several months to get my Creative Suite 4 is installed on Windows 7 64 bit.

I have the full CS3 and a CS4 upgrade disks.

At the beginning:

When Windows 7 is installed on the old XP 32-bit it now erases everything and puts it into a Windows.old directory.

Everything needs to be reinstalled from scratch. My drives were 20 miles away in my office.

I tried to download a new version of CS4 and install it like that rather than go through CS3 and CS4 updates hoping my license would be working with her.

(I know... bad move...) I pay for it)

It works for AutoCad, 3DSMax, Matlab, Zemax... all programs that are too expensive or even more than Adobe.

but now I can't go past the Trial Version has expired. It expired a long time ago.

No matter how clean my system and try to install from my own original disks with valid serial numbers serial number CS4 is not accepted.

It is accepted at the time of the original installation, but on first use, the serial number is declared void.

Apparently he asked the serial number of the Trial Version that I have not bought.

This serial number must be buried deep in the registry.

Support of Adobe has tried for months to help him... but they don't speak of the problem of the Trial Version.

I was in India and they have offered to sit on the phone for four hours it is necessary to do a reinstall.

They are always polite... they admit that my serial numbers are valid... they have just the answers that work.

This must close of software piracy... reinstall trial again and again.

I deleted the directory PCB. I've used CleanSweep. I reinstalled the software of my own time to record three or four now.

I did everything but reformat my hard drive and reinstall Windows 7 from scratch.

CS3 works fine... I can go forward with the CS3 version just... but I love CS4 on this machine.

So... any ideas.

Installs a just temporary death of the evaluation of a valid installation of CS4 Version later?

You people made a great work on a use of Illustrator problem I had earlier.

It is a real test for you.

Thank you

Is there information in legitimate ether precisely where this trial Version information?

I am not afraid. Those who know (who even at Adobe are only people actually build the installation program) certainly have signed an additional addendum to their contract of employment and get extra money to not disclose these information anywhere but Adobe secret meeting room in basement B. You can monitor the registry and disk access using Sysinternals quick example, but even that doesn't reveal a hidden system keys. Would not resolve the issue, in any case. Activation is stored in the PCD and directory which is linked to a cryptographic fingerprint that is stored in areas hidden from your drive. Unfortunately, you really need to nuke this ugly thing, the most rudimentary level of sector by sector...
