Cannot Reactivate V11

[Matt Glass]

Earlier this week I encountered an issue when running Nitro Editor 11. When trying to start the program, I was shown an error box message that Nitro was unable to start and had to be reinstalled. None of my other users at our company had this issue. I went to the Nitro site and downloaded NITRO. What I did not realize is I had downloaded v12. Now I am in trial mode, and my copy is about to expire. I am also having issues removing Nitro 12 from my WIN10 computer, this program no longer shows on my WIN10 uninstall, but the v12 program still runs with a day left. I also tried downloading v11, but it will not load due to the presence of v12. 

 

How can I remove v12 and get back my v11? We have 5 licenses.

Hello @MattXDR,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Please use the tool I have provided below to remove all files associated with Nitro Pro and reboot your system.
http://install.nitropdf.com/professional_12163574/install-cleanup/install-cleanup.zip

NOTE: This clean-up tool will erase any existing signature files within Nitro, so please save them to another location before using the clean-up tool in order to keep them. Please see this link for backing up custom stamps/signatures: http://kb.gonitro.com/knowledgebase#/search/stamps/000001671

When your system is back up, close all of your open applications and install Nitro Pro 11 from the page I have provided below:
https://www.gonitro.com/nps/product-details/downloads

I hope this helps!

Leslie. Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately it looks like the uninstaller could not perform all the removal tasks. After I ran that program (twice), and rebooted, I get the same message when trying to install NITRO 11 "A later version of Nitro Pro is already installed." 

I have copied the log file.  I get the message: "Error: Can not remove registry by VBS. Error occurred" and the specific registry key noted. I have attached that log. I am running Nitro local on my PC, and I have admin rights. Am I blocked from changing  reg keys that are network or server protected, since I am also running on  a business network.

Anything??????

[Matt Glass]

Sorry NITRO Team. It appears that NITRO has no support and the online community is fairly useless after one answer. I am very disappointed, and will certainly tell other businesses about my interactions. This is not the way Adobe got where they are. I also assume this will neither be posted, nor replied to 

[Allain Umailin]

Hello @MattXDR,

Our sincere apologies for the delayed response.

To further assist you with your concern, I created a support ticket on your behalf.

I will wait for your response through the support case.

Cheers!

[Matt Glass]

Thanks for responding. I actually went through and installed and paid for NITRO 12 update, even after trying the removal/cleanup tool, I was left with no other option, other than Adobe, since I needed the pdf editing feature. Purchasing the update was not my first choice, but was my only choice left.
