There's a trial download on Adobe's site.

In my mind, when it comes to image editing, GIMP is second place, only to photoshop, and everything else is far behind
What drives the need for Photoshop or something like it at all? For casual use, wouldn't Lightroom be a lot better?
I love the options you get with that program, but at 899.00 its is not for the casual shooter. I think you would have to be working to make a purchase like that??
I believe with the student version it can only be active on one computer at a time. If you have it on a desktop that you're trashing just open it up, go to help > deactivate and then you'll be able to install and register it to your laptop. If that doesn't work call adobe's support.
Ahhh I must have misunderstood your last post, I thought you were replacing the desktop with the laptop.
how did you get it ?
was it a download , or was it allready installed ?
/ɯoɔ˙ƃnɯƃnɯs˙ʇlɟsɐq//:dʇʇɥ
can you use you current version normally ?
i mean without limitations ?
or , its not a trial-version , but fully working ?
/ɯoɔ˙ƃnɯƃnɯs˙ʇlɟsɐq//:dʇʇɥ
Yes I can. It doesn't say trail or anything when I open it up.Works fine, just missing the 3d because of the RAM issue?
simply install it on your other pc , and on your future pc too
in the same way you installed this one
in post 7 you said you did not register , good
dont try either , especially not if you have a business
also , dont let the installer connect to internet
either by firewall , or pull the plug out
/ɯoɔ˙ƃnɯƃnɯs˙ʇlɟsɐq//:dʇʇɥ
when installed , did you needed to connect to adobe to activate ?
im not sure , but i think not , or you would have a "de-activate" option , which you dont have [ as you said above ]
therefor , my first thought was ; you have a "naughty" version
best thing to do is ; simply to try it
take your disk , install in laptop [without internet connected] and see what happens
if it insists on activating , its a normal version [ and useless for you , unless you pay ]
if not ; not

To me, what it sounds like, what the person did was sell you a pirated version/illegal version of PS, meaning they made a illegal copy that they didnt pay for, and sold it for $400, making $400 off of nothing! (evidently I am in the wrong buisness :giggle)
What you do with your 'hot' version of PS from here is totally up to you, just dont let anyone know what your going to do with it, and probably best not to contact Adobe for help.
What is a CS5 anyway, I cant give any advice about any CS5
About the GIMP, it is a open sorce program, meaning anyone can contribute to its design, so the poeple who have helped design it have pretty much copied the design of most of the features found in Adobe Photoshop. It has most of the same features, and can do almost everything that you can do in PS, so in my opinion, for a casual shooter, it has everything that you would ever need.
I have the student version of PS CS5, and while it is "good for one PC only," that doesn't mean ever. I can reload it on another PC. In fact, not long after I purchased it, I had to get a new computer, and I loaded the student version on the new PC with no problems whatsoever, and this was without doing any deactivation. My old PC died with PS installed on it, then once I had the new machine set up, I just put in the CD and it loaded up fine. It did go online and got the activation code, and it's running (on its 2nd PC) with no problem at all.

I don't know whats going on? All I do know is the box does not say student version nor the disk? It says CS5 Extended Full Version? I can most likely uninstall it on the desk top, and install it on the laptop. I think it will only let me install on one pc. I am just glad the guy refunded my money, 365.00 to the dollar. I could have been out that money if the desktop crashes? Like I said in an earlier post, I added more RAM, and its working fine right now, I just don't trust it now.
the "Mall" owner like Simon and Simpon in my area ...Simon and Simon owns all the malls....so
if you bought your Photoshop from the Software Depot in the mall and called Adobe and ask
about it but told them that you bought from Soimon and Simon they would not help you in any
way shape or form.......What you should have done was tell Adobe who you actually purchased
from...the person or company whom you actually paid for it.
But since you got a refund then it would be illegal to try and use it........Did you return it to the seller???
Picky, picky . . .

Then it's not a student version. I'm looking at my box right now, and it is very clearly marked on many different locations. The disk itself does not say student/teacher edition.
From the box (and I think Adobe's website says the exact same words): "You may purchase only one license of any Adobe Student and Teacher Edition product for use only on your privately owned computer. Student and Teacher Editions may not be resold."
So one can't purchase multiple copies, and the original seller violated his purchase terms by selling it. But as for only having one copy, it seems that you may move it to a different computer, so long as it is a privately owned machine, i.e. not a school or work computer. I'd think you should definitely deactivate it first and then reinstall it on the laptop, but even if you didn't, I would still think it would work. It's not like the disk will fail to install if it's already been used once. This isn't Mission: Impossible, and it won't self-destruct.
You would not have been out any money if the desktop crashed, unless you no longer have the CD in your possession and therefore couldn't do a reinstall.
As for using this (obviously illegal) copy at all, that's up to you and your own sense of ethics regarding licensing.

That's why Adobe and other companies have serial numbers and require them to be validated as part of the install. The software duplicators sometimes fix up the code on the CD so that it circumvents the validation in the software.

yes , thats how its go's with illegal software
due to the original "owner" the serial is now black-listed , as they call it
like i said before , only thing you can do , is to install it and see what happens
no need to remove from your current pc [ unless you dont like the idea , ofcourse ]
and ,........... dont register !!!!!
