Adobe: Trial availability FAQ

  • Why are some Adobe product trials currently not available?

During the month of June 2008, certain product trials that are launched for the first time (regardless of when they were installed) will function for only one day instead of 30 days, due to an error in a line of code that counts down the remaining days in a trial. You will not experience this issue if you have launched your trial before June 1, 2008, or do not launch it until July 1 or thereafter.
We understand that trials are an important tool to experience the new features of a product. However, this issue would have resulted in a frustrating situation for a large number of customers ― an experience that just does not meet the high standards we have set for all of our products and solutions. We invite you to explore the other resources available on Adobe.com in order to experience the products in action.

  • Adobeのお試しソフトが動かないのはなぜですか？

Adobeのお試しソフトの一部に、「2008年6月に初回起動したら、本来30日動作するはずなのがたったの1日しか動かない」という不具合がある事がわかりました。この不具合はインストールした日には無関係で、お試し期間を数えるソースコードに問題があったため発生しています。お試しソフトの初回起動が6月1日より前か、7月1日以降の場合はこの問題は発生しません。
