I bought windows 8 'upgrade' for the pc, I just bought and don't have an older version

is there a way I can just "buy" a license to put on the new PC without actually crossed the steps of buying and installing a new disk just to be updated? Unfortunately the retailer won't bring back the upgrade so I can just buy oem so im a bit to the top of the Creek so to say. I have an old laptop about 2 years since I intend on decommissioning that is running windows 7 is possible I could use it as I no longer use windows 7 on this computer? can I transfer or reuse permissions on this one there? just spent over $ 1,000 construction this pc do not rely wana spend another hundred ontop of percent certain i used to buy windows 8, just so that I can use it... any help is appreciated!

    Thank you 99Jon... I understand that functionally one can go the the Adobe Installers and uninstall, but I am cautious to do because I may have problems with the new facility. For example, between the time I posted and you answered I noticed that all the batteries of my editing in finder are gone. In all cases the original raw file not yet stacked or linked with the edited .jpeg files were from the original. A ton of work have been dedicated to these and now I have all files edition are not related or stacked to the original. So I need to look into this problem. Perhaps I might have to reload all my old 11 files in 14?

    The difference with PSE14 is that what you see by default is the new 'adaptive grid' view that gives all the navigation area for images, no text (file names, date) or version sets/stacks icons.

    Simply use the shortcut Ctrl-D or the menu display to switch between adaptive and former ' detailed view) we're used to.

  • How to find the password for the administrator account (forgot it and don't know the trick)

    I recently got a new labtop and there was already an admin account and a guest won't be able to access admin one I used the prompt, its my labtop but the person known not more because it is a gift, so is it every way possible to clear all the stuff off this or just be able to access the administrator account

    The laptop has the option to restore to day? Some come with a disk partition to do that, while others came with BONES and CD drivers (or the ability to create).

    If it came from someone else, it's always a good idea to wipe it and start over anyway; not sure what this person was in, or what are the sites he visits. Would not be a good day for you if the black helicopters landed in your front yard to cause something that accesses the internet of this laptop without realizing you it :-(

  • I'm about to join you, for the first choice of photoshop and lightroom, you have a choice because instead of lightroom, I need Indesign so for me, photoshop and indesign should be

    inactiveforumnotifier Adobe Creative Cloud

    You can go for unique app of Photoshop and Indesign app subscriptions or creative cloud any subscription apps which includes both of them with all the other Adobe applications.

    Or Plan photography + InDesign plan unique App.

    It is less expensive than Photoshop App unique + InDesign App only $10 / month.

  • I'm at my wit's end. I tried to re - install Creative cloud for about 3 hours (just today) and won't have a chance.  I uninstalled all Adobe applications and cleaned all adobe applications. I tried several times to reinstall, but I get an error message 20

    This is the second time I met a problem of creative cloud app update. It prevents other applications adobe update and frustrates me no end. In June, I lost a month

    time to try to solve this problem and I am now in the same boat once more.

    I uninstalled all adobe products,

    I ran the vacuum cleaner on everything.

    I deleted the contents of ""~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0/ " "


    I tried opening the page of Adobe Photoshop Elements and have a creative cloud installation (it was the previous fix that does nothing now)

    I tried several times and at the end upward at the same place with error code 204 pointing me to a page that says nothing about the error code 204.

    I checked these suggested links

    Creative Cloud connection update error - U43M1D204

    Error 204 downloading Creative Cloud on Mac

    Error download or update Adobe Creative Cloud applications

    and I tried this method (which was the difficulty that worked in June, but does not now)

    If you tried all the steps, you can try with the direct installation file:

    N ° 1)

    Click on the link below and open Photoshop Elements download link.

    Do not close the page, just keep it open.

    Download Photoshop Elements products | 10, 11, 12, 13

    Then click on the link below and download the installer directly mentioned in step 2.

    He's going to start directly from the installation process.

    Step 2)

    Windows:

    http://trials2.Adobe.com/AdobeProducts/KCCC/1/Win32/ACCCx3_1_1_110.zip

    Extract the Zip first, then run the Setup.exe file.

    Mac:

    http://trials2.Adobe.com/AdobeProducts/KCCC/1/OSX10/ACCCx3_1_1_110.dmg

    now when I run uninstaller creative cloud it says '... ". uninstalled with errors"and if I try to re install Creative cloud I get this message:

    "It seems to be a problem of access to a critical file during the download. For troubleshooting tips, please visit our customer support page. (Error code: 204) »

    So please help me to get out of this endless loop and use the apps I pay to use, not to solve problems.

    No problem Ron, given that this issue needs detailed troubleshooting I would ask to contact the customer service team customer service

    *Remember to stay signed with your Adobe ID ( email id used to purchase the subscription ) before accessing the link above*.

    Or, if its OK, you can deposit your contact information and the best time to reach you tomorrow in a personal message for me and I will contact you and help solve you this problem.

    If it's a Windows Anytime Upgrade for Windows 7 Starter to Home Premium, professional or ultimate edition, unfortunately, no..

    Anytime Upgrades can be used only update an existing copy of Windows 7 Starter to a higher edition of Windows 7.

    You need a upgrade license to upgrade to Windows 7.

    Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.

    Full version (retail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -Does not require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive

    Upgrade version (detail):

    -Includes the rights of transfer to another computer.

    -require a qualifying earlier version of Windows.

    -Expensive, but less expensive full version

    OEM System Builder version:

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    There is nothing wrong to use it too, especially that all future versions of Windows will be full versions.

  • Windows has asked for the same activation when I did

    So, I bought a Dell computer with Windows 7. Recently, I tried to install Windows XP Mode, and they keep telling me to install Microsoft Genuine. I install but the site won't let me download Windows XP Mode. They said he failed and redirect me to to buy genuine Microsoft Software Web site. I did not, but on the page, they show a few ways to activate Windows. I followed it by clicking 'activate' in the start menu > search. There is activate Windows so I click on it. Because they required the product key I just close the window. But after the restart, screen blackout curtains and the activation window appear saying activation has expired. After clicking on cancel, I check in my computer > properties and see that Windows is activated with the product ID.  I don't want to turn on the computer every time to see a window and cancel it. Also, I don't know where is the product key on my computer (it's a Dell Precision 390 upgrade of Windows XP). Those who know how to solve this problem?

    I suggest you try to get a satisfaction of the seller. (threats to involve the application of the law for fraud can help)

    the retail price for a full version of ultimate is about $319,00
    the only other choice is to buy a genuine windows. family premium is $199 price but I see that some legitimate retailers are discounting about $170,00
    You can try to get a your manufacturer OEM xp recovery disk if they have yet.
