    Re: Adobe Muse - trial version?

    502brianseye

      Hello Ajay Jain,

       

      Today Adobe Air and Adobe Application Manager both updated, and now I'm unable to get Muse running. It says my trial has ended (I'm a Creative Cloud member and have used the app before) and when I try to login, I get an error. Then I tried opening AAM and it wants me to login, which fails, telling me to contat customer support. I'm able to login to MyAdobe.com. My other CC apps work.

       

      How should I proceed?

       

      Thanks, Brian

            First try to clear any cache for Adobe Muse and see if that helps. Follow the steps below -

             

            Quit any Adobe application and delete OOBE and MBLStore folders from the following location:

             

            Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

            Windows XP: %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe

            Windows 7: %localappdata%\Adobe

             

            Delete AdobeMuse folder from the following location:

             

            Mac OS: ~/Library/Preferences

            Windows XP:  %appdata%

            Windows 7: %appdata%

             

            *******************************************************

            *******************************************************

             

            If the above doesn't help, uninstall any copy/version of Adobe Muse already installed by following the steps detailed in Uninstall Adobe Muse article - http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/kb/uninstall-muse.html

             

            To clear any remnants, delete Adobe Muse folder found in

            Mac OS:          /Applications

            Windows XP:               %programfiles% on 32 bit and %programfiles(x86)% on 64 bit

            Windows 7:          %programfiles% on 32 bit and %programfiles(x86)% on 64 bit

             

            Then download the latest version of Adobe Muse from -

             

            Mac: http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_mac

            Win: http://www.adobe.com/go/muse_latest_win

             

            Install using the fresh installer downloaded from the links above.

            Also install the latest version of Adobe AIR from http://get.adobe.com/air

             

            If this still doesn't resolve the problem for you, please contact Muse Live chat help by visiting http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and selecting Adobe Muse from the product dropdown; then select anything random and look for the I still need help button.

             

            Thanks,

            Vinayak

              None of that was any help. (I tried repeadedly, for hours. Any variation.)

               

              I could see that there were updates for the other CC apps I'd already installed, but couldn't get to them from the AAM. Trying the steps above seemed to break AAM, so I'd reinstall, but no help. Tried reinstaling Muse from your email link, and also while logged into CC at the downloads page, but every time, an error. "Contact customer support."

               

              (I was able to easily update all my other installed apps by looking for update under help in Bridge.)

               

              Then I'd reinstall Muse, and it would come up with the sign as subscriber or start trial. Neither worked. Another error.

               

              And trying to obtain useful help for tech matters over the weekend is impossible. Cloud support is asleep.

               

              Muse works on my desktop machine at home ... It too was a trial version, but was I was able to get past all this hassle I'm experiencing on my laptop.

               

              Before all this happened, Muse worked. But not after an update to AAM and Air. Then you ask me to get the fresh update from your link, and to update Air again. Why? If I've uninstalled then why can't I just download from the CC page?

               

              Very frustrated.

                When you launch Muse and get the Sign as Subscriber or Start as Trial window, what error do you get on clicking on any of the options? A screenshot of the error message would be helpful! Also, if following the above steps does not resolve the problem for you, please contact Muse Live Chat help by visiting http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and selecting Adobe Muse from the product dropdown; then select anything random and look for the I still need help button.

                  THANK you, this helped me out. I erased everything regarding Muse on my Mac, downloaded the file you provided and installed it. Now Muse is up and running again.

                    Though I appreciate this article for help and support, it doesn't work for me either.  I've tried multiple times to install both the Muse application and the Adobe Application Manager yet I get an error screen that I need to connect to the internet (it is connected to high speed internet). The only solution I can think of at this point is to completely start over and take my Macs into Apple to have the OS reinstalled.  This is EXTREMELY inconvenient where I have multiple deadlines.  Please can Adobe look at fixing the bugs with the subscription and logins?  I understand that it is necessary to check that a user has an active subscription, but there needs to be a better way.  It's only an issue with Adobe Muse, the rest of the Suite works fine.

                      well I have spent two days now trying to get muse to load. it just sits on the splash screen and nothing else. i have to reboot to get rid of the logo.....I have tried everything uninstalling it all (and air) and rebooting and reinstalling and uninstalling and taking the virus checker off and uninstalling and re installing......nothing. tried support and they said ring back in 12 hours. I said " I will be in bed asleep then" very helpful.

                      Come on Adobe, if you going to make software, make some that bloody works! and support what you make. VERY VERY FRUSTRATED!

                        Same problem here. Migrated from one Mac to another, all programs stopped working (false alert on too many users on my CC account), then solve this problem with the help from Adobe support (instead of English International I had set my preferences on English US and everything falled apart). I re-installed it in different ways, did all the tricks people suggested and it still gives me ActionScript error.. I would really love to learn Muse but... I have to find alternative software. Fortunatelly there are some already..

                          I had the same issue. Meticulously followed the steps to cleanly remove Muse and reinstall it. But still the issue persisted. All I could do is use the adobe air installer and the muse installer in the links on a Win XP PC and it worked like a breeze. I don't know what went wrong here in my PC. I guess I will have to uninstall the entire CC Suite and clean the temp and reinstall it. If that help, I'd post the same in this form. But atleast Vinay's tip off did give me a stream of hope.

                           

                          But still the Adobe team need to look into this.

                           

                          Thanks
