All of my pre installed adobe programs on my HP laptop (windows 10)

inc acrobat and master collection (CS6) are now unusable. Ever time I try to open any program it gives me this screen message.(see pic) I have not knowingly downloaded any cloud update or program.

Without a transfer or a serial number you do not actually own the program, so there is no way to fix the problem

Thank you this is now becoming apparent. I have left a message informing the seller that they have miss sold me the laptop and what was described as a full version and not a trial. I will now try to plead my case through Paypal for a full refund.

You're trying to pick fruit from a poisoned tree.  An illegal activity cannot be used to "seal the deal."   It doesn't work that way.

You only have the trial.

Do you have a serial number?

No and the seller is non responsive after being rather rude.

If Amazon or eBay, you may have recourse for a refund.

Did the seller do a Transfer so you are the legal owner?

I have never accessed Creative Cloud areas of adobe (I'm not a fan) so I have no idea why this has happend. The adobe software was preinstalled on a laptop bought over the internet and had a 'lifetime' license, (so I was told by the seller). I have followed the instructions on screen but once opened the page does not open.

Adobe Application Manager (AAM) is NOT Creative Cloud. 

 

There's no such thing as a "Lifetime License."  There never was and there never will be.  Every product has an End of Life and legacy Creative Suite products were no exception. 

 

Unless you previously purchased a legitimate license to use Creative Suite 6 when it was still available for purchase and registered it in your name, I think you may be out of luck here.  Log-in to your account below.
