Installing GoLive CS2 with Master Collection CS3

I have just taken possession of a beautiful new system with the full Adobe Master Collection already installed by my computer guru man. The new system is very fast etc but I kept with XP 'cos had heard too many horror stories about Vista.
After getting the computer home (I live 2 hours drive away from the guru) I remembered that I forget to ask him to install my old CS2 GoLive with menumachine. I need to have GoLive (and the wonderful Menumachine) to update my GoLive sites. For a while anyway.
He thinks I should be very careful about just installing GoLive with the new CS3 collection because it could cause problems like "some of the shared components may overwrite the new CS3 versions" (whatever that means) He said I should have installed the old version of GoLive before installing CS3 to make this less likely. He said I might be best to uninstall the Master Collection. Start again and install GoLive CS2 first and then the CS3 next. He suggested I ask you.
Has anyone been down this path?
Also I still have GoLive CS2 installed and active on my old PC, will I be allowed to legally install it on the new one too? Or will that count as piracy and cause problems? I also have it on another little computer I have that I use (very rarely) as a kind of laptop.
My new computer has a two hard disks a C-drive and a D-drive - I was wondering if it would help if I installed GoLive CS2 on the D disk - everything is currently on the C disk.

If it were up to me, I would only have GL on two systems per the license
agreement.
Then, I would try installing GL CS2 and if everything works, great. If not,
then uninstall the Adobe stuff and reinstall it as your guru suggested.

  • Try to re-install any aplication from Master Collection CS3

    I have a Master Collection downloaded from Net (ESD) installed in a XP Windows SP3. Now that I need to install the Acrobat 8 from the package I just dont remmenber the initial path I used for the installation, since I remove all the package to several DVDs. When I start a SETUP it just asks me to put the image on a D:\ drive but I just don't know if I used sub-folders or whatever.
    I've been trying to run the SETUP from the DVD too, but with bad results, since it was loadded another entrance on the ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS on the Control Panel with the same name - Add or Remove Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection ==> Size 261,00 MBytes.
    Does anybody give me a hand?

    Can you please provide the exact error message you are receiving?  Also which operating system are you utilizing?

    Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
    I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
    I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!

    well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
    good luck with apple dude..
    Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
    And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
    <The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
    Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

  • Is Creative Suite Master Collection CS3 compatible with Windows 7?

    Hi I was just wondering if Master Collection CS3 was compatible with Windows 7. Has it been tested and was it successful? Or were there problems with it? If so is CS4 compatible or would I have to buy the newest version? I would just like a simple answer if you could give it referring to if I can use it and if there's any problematic occurances that come with putting the two together. Thank you.
    Meepsie18

    No, CS3 was never tested on Win 7 and thus is not officially compatible or certified with it. The first version to fit that criteria is indeed CS4. That doesn't mean that CS3 couldn't run at alll on Win 7, though. Many users do, but the specific level of success depends on too many factors, so nobody can give you a definitive answer. If you can afford it, just get CS6/ Creative Cloud.

  • Adobe Master Collection CS3

    Are Adobe Master Collection CS3 work`s on 64 bit Windows?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the GREAT info!!! Just what was looking for. I probably will go with an HP d5000t since someone else on another post is using one. It is custom built to my specs, can go to 8GB RAM, and support 64 Vista. I want a high powered graphics card, but I worry about power supply.
    As for crashes and other mishaps, I tried to burn a 1-hour DVD out of Encore. It took 2 1/2 hours and got to the very end of the burn process, then froze up. The same thing happened on another computer, so it is software related. Also in Encore, I accidently imported an HD menu (Party Menu HD) into a DV project. From then on it caused numerous crashes "on both PCs". Says it is a corrupted file and wants me to delete it from the project. It will not clear or delete, and even pops up after opening new or archived projects. I finally just got it to burn all the way through after removing a slideshow from the project, but the currupted file is still there even after deleting the 3.0 presets and library folder.
    I have Procoder 3 for batch conversions, which is awesome! It has a plug-in for CS3 Premiere, but I use the standalone as well. I wonder if it's causing any of my issues?
    Premiere seems to work okay. Plays back poor quality un-rendered video. Audio is a big problem in Premiere. Editable multi-knob effects like compressors and EQ dump their presets in the middle of an edit. I guess they're called VST plug-ins? You know, if I tweek the preset values and then try to "reset" back to the original, it will set the knob settings to bizarre values.
    Soundbooth works well, but haven't done too much on it. I hate having to go to another application. I start to lose track of files after they have been extracted from video. I need to come up with a renaming plan. When I try to "Edit Original" in Premiere, a video of still image file, it opens in Windows Media Player instead of the appropriate CS3 app. I don't know how to set that up.
    I don't understand Bridge, although I like that it plays files in its own interface and I can get to tutorial videos. Apart from that, I prefer Windows Explorer for finding and moving files. I have not touched Version Cue from CS2 or CS3.
    I like Encore and find it much more user-friendly than previous CS.
    I opened up After Effects once - and never again, not on this PC. Even a single video file on the timeline, it barely played back - something like a frame a second. I though the computer was going to explode!
    Photoshop seemed okay but I did nothing other than simple fixes to Encore menus. I have not tried to work any other apps because I'm afraid of an urecoverable situation.
    By the way, my "other PC" is a Newtek Tricaster. ALso about 3 years old or more. It seems a little more stable than the Sony VAIO, and a good backup, but I'm taxing it too much with CS3 on top of its own stuff.
    I am looking to sell the Tricaster if anyone is interested. I have no use for it these days.
    I did not originate this post, so forgive me for being so wordy. I did start another thread:

  • Install problem when installing Creative Suite 6 Master collection?

    Has anybody had this problem when installing Creative suite 6 Master Collection? It says: The product you are trying to install in not an Adobe Genuine Software and appears to be counterfeit. I have received the product directly from Adobe. It will validate it then start to install then stop and give me the above error. Help.

    If you are still experiencing difficulties please try copying the install files from the DVD to your desktop and try installing from there.  The error still indicates that the installation files have become compromised.  If you are installing from the DVD this could indicate either a problem with the media or your optical drive.

  • Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows)  on a laptop without optical drive

    Installation of Master Collection CS3 (disc version for Windows) -  is there any possibility of installing my legitimately purchased MC-CS3 on a new laptop without optical drive? Perhaps through a download link or will tranfering all Adobe files from my old to my new computer do the trick as well? Or do I necessarily have to buy an external optical drive? Thank you for answering.

    No need to buy an optical drive and don't try transferring, it rarely works.

  • Ive got Master Collection CS3 on pc i've new got a Mac can i change my serial number to work on my mac ?

    Hello,
    I have Adobe Master Collection CS3 on my Pc and i've just brought a Apple Mac so is there any way i can deactivate it on my pc and reinstall it to my MAC?

    Hi stash152,
    You cannot use a Windows version of Master Collection CS3 on a Mac.
    The platform swap policy is applicable for the latest version of the softwares and inapplicable for the older version.
    Please refer the KB : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l
    I would suggest purchasing a subscription to the Creative Cloud as the new Mac you bought has Mavericks OS which has not been tested with CS3 and you might face compatibility issues.
    The latest Creative Cloud version of the softwares are perfectly compatible with the latest Mac OS (Mavericks).
    Regards,

  • Missing Installation Disc for Master Collection CS3

    Greetings....I need to reinstall the Master Collection CS3 because my PC drive got wiped out. I was just reinstalling it and realized Disc 4 is missing when I was asked to insert it.  It's been a year or 2 since last time I had to install. I've looked and can't find it.  No money or interest in updgrading at the moment.  Can anything be done?

  • Want to sell Master Collection CS3

    I recently purchased Master Collection CS3, Student Edition for P.C. I installed it and have been using it for about a month, but unfortunately I need the money, and would like to sell the item. If I de-activate the software, and then sell it, would the next person be able to install the software as normal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Educational versions are usually non-transferable, so you'd better check whether it's legal for you to sell your copy.
    It's possible the buyer may not be able to activate the software because you had activated the same serial number before. :/
    OFF TOPIC: I have no idea how I ended up on this forum. :|.

  • Hi, I wish to buy an Adobe Master Collection CS3 (Corporate Edition) from someone in the US and I hope to use it in the UK. Does anyone know if this can be done without any problems, also does Adobe still allow people to register the CS3 Corporate Edition

    Hi, I wish to buy an Adobe Master Collection CS3 (Corporate Edition) from someone in the US and I hope to use it in the UK. Does anyone know if this can be done without any problems, also does Adobe still allow people to register the CS3 Corporate Edition? any help would be greatly appreciated

    The flaw is here:
    corporate edition
    ...which essentially means it's most likely a volume license and thus not transferable in the first place. The rest is as Steve said - buying software on eBay is risky even on the best of days.
