Ohh, Photoshop CS4..

[downfeather]

Running a HP Pavilion Entertainment, more than enough RAM & etc., Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit build 7068.

Alright -- my friend who put my computer together couldn't get CS4 (Master Collection, but I'm only installing the bridge and 64-bit CS4) to work, but he left the burned discs on my computer for me try if I ever wanted to.

I've tried four or five times now, and after the installation it says my license has expired, even when I go through on the trial part. I don't know where he got the CS4 from, I know he didn't leave me a serial key which is the majority of my problem, but..

After I uninstall, I do the clean uninstall, as well, just to be safe, but it doesn't seem to make a difference and it always says there's nothing else to erase anyway. My friend got me the license fix, but the crack.bat file didn't work, so I did it manually. But then I couldn't overwrite the hosts file, so I'm just totally at a loss.

Suggestions? I'm desperate for a photoshop program. :c

sorry, but we do not discuss cracks on this forum.

So it is?

Darn it... I asked him not to, too.

Thanks, anyway.

jeez, If you need the software, buy it :sarc: Don't steal it

I know that, thank you. And I apologize -- I trusted my friend, since he put the discs on here I figured that he was just making it easier for me, so I wouldn't have to bug him for the discs when I tried myself. And when I ran into problems, I didn't want to bug him, so I Googled things. I didn't realize, okay? I'm sorry.

If you want to use software like PS, try out Paint.net, it's free!

Locks are for honest people.

IrfanView might do what you need. The program itself is pretty light, but gains a lot of flexibility if you add the Plugin Pack.

It's donateware.
