Question

How do I upgrade a trial Premiere Pro installation to an ETLA licensed installation?

We have an ETLA license for Creative Cloud at ISU.  We have a faculty member who has installed the trial version of Premiere Pro and would now like to upgrade to our licensed version.  Two questions:

1.  What's the procedure for upgrading?  I have built silent installation packages for all of the Creative Cloud applications.  Can I simply install Premiere Pro on his machine with my package and it will accept our ETLA license?

2.  Will doing this alter his customizations, or will it revert to the factory default settings?

Thanks in advance.

I encountered this same question with a faculty member who is off campus.

I tried the steps documented here:

Creative Cloud Help | Create license file

Building the package and running the AdobeSerialization file, which prompted for a password, did the trick. I did have to quit out of the Creative Cloud application for it to change the app from showing as a trial with a # of days remaining, to indicating it was licensed normally, but any other apps they accessed were licensed correctly.

I know this is a months old question, but hopefully it helps someone out in the future.

When I have to do this, I always package it in a batch file or script that will (at least) delete the prov.xml file. That holds your institution's license key. It's encrypted, but there's nothing preventing the xml file from being used by the AdobeSerialization executable on an unauthorized system.
