Uninstalling software on Mac Leopard.....

Nov 12, 2007 12:12PM PST

I installed a copy of Adobe After Effects on my MacBook Pro, but the license had expired, deleted it out of the applications folder and tried to install a new copy but the system check says that After Effects is still installed on the hard drive, what's the proper way to uninstall software. I'm new to the Mac world.

I found Adobe's support to be excellent.

Sorry but they do have better than the average support line. You pay dearly for their apps so they seem to plow that into the support.

Call em.

1 month trials of the same program from Adobe. Once the first trial software reached the end of it's effective life, it disables itself... while also embedding a record of itself somewhere on your drive (I don't know where). Uninstalling the trial software does not erase the record of its' previous use. The only way to "re-use" trial software more than once, is to initialize your hard drive and reinstall the OS.
