Question

Had Captivate 9 Trial, Bought 2017 Subscription- Not Updating/Downloading

I had the C9 Free Trial, and asked BEFORE I bought the subscription, if I had to remove the C9 Trial before buying 2017. Answer was no. So, I bought it, and I'm still stuck with C9, and no way to get the new version I just paid for. No available help until Monday?

I tried to download the new trial, repeatedly, and received an error message each time. I downloaded it again last week and it finally worked.

I'll publish a project tomorrow, and see if it sticks. Thank you for the answers.

Hi Trace,

Lieve is correct.

In this case, all you need to do is to download Adobe Captivate 2017 from the below link and then during installation, sign in using your Adobe ID to activate your subscription.

This is the solution of last resort

Sign out of your account... Uninstall... run the Cleaner...

-for non-Cloud programs you need to DE-activate before uninstalling

-https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activate-deactivate-products.html

-http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html (and uninstall)

-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling is often needed

-Restart your computer... Sign in to your account... Reinstall

I have read that it will take as much as 24 hours for a purchase to show in your Adobe account after purchase

Does your Cloud subscription properly show on your account page?

https://www.adobe.com/account.html for subscriptions on your Adobe page

If you have more than one email, are you sure you are using the correct Adobe ID?

.

If yes

Log out of your Cloud account... Restart your computer... Log in to your paid Cloud account

Please, read my answer, because Captivate is not following the work flow of the CC applications, because it is not part of the Creative Cloud!
