I just spent 45 minutes trying to download the Adobe DC program that I had purchased on-line after the 30 day trial.  I received an error message saying something to the effect that I needed to be an administrator in order to complete the download.  I am not on a network. This is a single computer.  Can anyone help me so that I don't go thru the same issue over again?  I appreciate your assistance.

If you completed the trial and didn't uninstall AND if you subscribed (not permanent license) you can just convert the trial.

Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL permissions may help... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)
