Creative Suite 5.5 for Windows

I have downloaded the Creative Suite 5.5. I have read the installation guide, started the installation, had serial number success, but EVERY time I try to install it will get to the item downloading as "AdobeHelp" and the % never changes but the minutes blow up from a mere 73 minutes to 6987 minutes! I have tried installing the entire CS 5.5 twice and it always hangs there (which is 10%) and then tried only installing components of it (Flash Pro & Photo Shop) and it hangs again on AdobeHelp (which is 24%). I downloaded yet the other support thing required (Adobe Support Advisor) only for it to run and say there were no installation problems and to contact technical support.
Can anyone help?
I am at my wit's end. It shouldn't be this complicated to install software.
2. If I call and cancel the download version and have them ship me the discs in a box will it fix this? Ugh.
I left it for 36 hours straight on a wired connection to no avail.
Thanks in advance!

Wow. When I am not an "industry professional" or whatever your title is and when there isn't a "sticky" at the top of the forum (like other forums have) stating what specifics to provide, I thought someone merely may have run into the same problem as me. I didn't expect such a rude response. If someone can help without condescending tones, I would love a response from you all.
I am still attempting to install this on my pc. This computer has Windows 7. It is 64bit. I have downloaded all the files, attempted to install, removed the files, attempted again, numerous times. Regardless, it gets hung up on "AdobeHelp". I have tried installing the entire Suite as well as only Flash Pro & Photo Shop. I have been trying this for 3 days now. I don't know what other specs you all would need so if you reply kindly and tell me where to find it, I will provide it. I have done all the troubleshooting tips on Adobe's site and the last one stated to try this forum. Thus, the reason I am. It will go from a mere 16 minutes remaining to over 6,000. After 24 hours, it was still at the same % complete & the minutes continue to multiply.
So if you are a more positive person who is kind enough to provide guidance, I'd greatly appreciate it.

As I'm satisfied with what I've got. I would like to avoid purchasing a new license for almost exactly the same thing.
Thanks,

Hi Sven,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
Please delete the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater directory.
Rename the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\OPM.db to OPM.old
Then please try reopening your web browser and downloading and installing the Creative Cloud application fromhttps://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
Or you can try:
Until this gets sorted out, here are the Creative Cloud direct download links... As/when needed, you can use these to download the Windows or Mac OS installers for any CC program without using the Adobe Desktop App manager.
Please refer to : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html
Hope it helps you.

You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite: New Choices for Customers

Adobe has announced the new Cloud-based model for software distribution, along with new terms for boxed product upgrade eligibility. Beginning with the CS6 releases, when they happen, upgrade pricing on boxed products will only be availble one generation back. There is a limited window to upgrade now to the current versions at a discount.
See http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/adobe-creative-cloud-and-adobe-creative-suite -new-choices-for-customers.html

Eugene:
Based on the current information we have (from the blog post), which may not be correct and which you should not rely upon:
There is some confusion about the word "discount." As used in the blog post, in general there are no "discounts" for upgrades, there is the upgrade price and there is full price. But, also in the blog post, there is a special "discount upgrade" if you choose to upgrade to CS5.5 today (prior to Dec. 31, 2011), which is 20% off the regular upgrade. However, Peter used the word "discount" to distinguish between upgrade pricing and full price. It's probably a good idea to avoid using that word there because of the potential for confusion.
I have CS5 InDesign in work. So I will be able to upgrade that to CS6 when it comes out at the discount price?
You will be able to upgrade to CS6 at upgrade pricing. Not the 20% discount, but it is "discounted" from the full price of CS6.
I'm still using CS2 Illustrator and Photoshop, for the little work I do in those programs, they're fine. But if I want to upgrade them to CS6 I have to pay the full amount of an upgrade, with no discount... or will I have to pay for CS6 in full for both of these programs?
You will have to pay the full price (not the "full amount of an upgrade," whatever that means).
If you elect to upgrade to CS5.5 prior to Dec. 31 of this year, however, then then you can pay the discounted upgrade price to upgrade to CS5.5 (well, CS5 since Photoshop CS5.5 doesn't exist), and then you can pay the CS6 upgrade price in March/April. So you can pay for no upgrades (full price) or two upgrades (one of which is 20% off).
At the moment I can upgrade CS2, photoshop and Illustrator for €240 each, to CS5. So wouldn't I just be able to do that now and then buy the CS6 upgrade at a much later date perhaps just before CS7 comes out?
Yes, you can do that.
If CS6 has the tools to basically go "File>Export>Epub" and I get a fully working epub file without having to trash about in code afterwards or make complex tagging in InDesign, then I'll be buying it.
It looks like EPUB is evolving pretty fast, so even if ID CS6 fully supports what you want out of EPUB on Day 1, I bet you'll need to be prepared to postprocess it on Day 2. Or at least long before Day 200.

Is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

is adobe creative suite version1 compatible with windows 7

Unfortunately, while I imagine it could be made to run on Windows 7, you simply won't be able to activate it on the new system because Adobe has taken the activation servers offline.
For a while Adobe published a version of CS2 with a special no-activation serial number, specifically for folks who have run afoul of the activation server problem, and at first it included users of CS and CS2. Unfortunately, the language of that page has changed to make it clear that only licensed users of CS2 may take advantage of the download.
You can judge for yourself here:

No, CS2 does not qualify for a platform swap. Only the most recent version (CS6) qualifies.

I Am reinstalling creative suite 3 on new windows 7 install from XP and it won't activate. Phone number for activation no longer works just directs to website. Any ideas on getting it activated?

Hi management-2,
Welcome to the Adobe Forums,
The best option would be upgarde to the present version as CS3 is not supported by Windows 7

I have the Adobe Suite 5.5 for Windows. I have recently changed to a Mac. Can I get 5.5 for Mac? I have plugins that I would like to keep in their current form.

burnttimber,
I am afraid the only (legal) way is to buy it second hand with a licence transfer through Adobe, from someone that has not used CS5.5 for any kind of upgrading (including a discount on CC).

Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
Type /etc and hit enter
Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
Problem solved!

Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac download problem

I have Creative Suite 2 Premium for Mac and have tried to install it and have been directed to http://www.adobe.com/downloads/cs2_downloads/ to download a version that will work. According to the install PDF there should be 7 files to download, I can only see 5. There appear to be 2 files missing for the premium version where can I find these please? I've been sent to the forums by a member of the Adobe live chat team.

That PDF is dated June 2005. I assume it has not been updated for the re-packaged non-activation CS2 downloads, which were made available in Dec 2012.
Try downloading and installing what's there and see if anything's missing once you've finished installing.
Or have you already done that? If so, can you be specific about what is definitely missing and we'll try lobbying Adobe to fill in the gaps.

How can I install Mac Creative Suite 5.5 on Windows 8 w/ no CD slot?

In college we were roped into buying Macbooks for our courses. We were given Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 and I distinctly remember the IT guy telling us it had the capability of running on one Apple product and one Windows product. Now that I no longer have my Macbook and I'm using a new Windows 8 laptop with no slot for a disc, how do I install the creative suite? Was the IT guy just yanking my chain? I would greatly love to not have that software go unused.

Normally when you bought a Creative Suite the license is good for one platform or the other, but not both. Though you might have had some special licensing arrangement for the school.
If you want to take a shot at it... you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.
