Installing Web Premium CS4 Student Edition on Laptop After Windows 7 Upgrade Question

I hope that this hasn't been asked before but my question is the following: I want to upgrade my laptop computer from Windows XP to Windows 7. But I hear that all programs get uninstalled after installing Windows 7 on a Windows XP machine. I would have to reinstall all programs again to use Web Premium CS4. But my student edition says that I can only install the program on two computers. Does this mean that I can install the program only two times or can I still install on the same laptop after changing the OS (I installed CS4 on two computers, my laptop and desktop)? I would very much like to continue using Web Premium CS4 on my laptop but am worried that I won't be able to install it since I installed CS4 on my laptop and desktop (two installs already). Let me know if I can install on the same laptop after upgrading to Windows 7. Thanks in advance for the help.

The issue is not installation...it's activation. Deactivate the software first. (Help > Deactivate from any application).
Back up all of your data, preferences, etc because as you note, this will be a clean install of Windows. Be aware that this is only recommeneded method for upgrading a Windows installation. NEVER do an in place Windows (or, IMO, Mac OSX) upgrade.

CS4 Dreamweaver says "License expired" even after installing Web Premium CS4

I just purchased Web Premium CS4. I had CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 Beta installed. Learned that I needed to uninstall CS4 Beta, used
the CS4 Uninstall script. Reinstalled CS4, it showed Dreamweaver would be installed (was no longer a greyed point). Went through entire installation. Everything works except Dreamweaver which continues to say "license has expired" as if it still has the beta license in there even though I've used the script to uninstall! Help, how can I get it to use the new licensed version?
The rest of the Web Premium CS4 applications are working properly, only Dreamweaver is giving me problems!
Operating System: Windows XP Professional SP3
Both my laptops have the exact same problem.

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4 and ran it OK for about a week. Then all of a sudden it just crashed and wouldnt open anymore. No warnings etc. Just wouldnt open.
I'd seen enough of the program so decided I'd buy it and got CS4 extended (student version). Great stuff I thought. Uninstalled the trial version and went ahead with loading up the new program. All went well with the install, accepted my product key no problems. Then the dreaded "License has expired" has come up and I'm basically left with a brand new program that does nothing at all sitting on my computer. Bridge and drive etc work OK - or seem to.
I've had a case opened with Adobe for 3 days now and have had no response at all. - not that I'm expecting too much after reading comments on here and around the net. Seems they have my cash and thats it as far as they're concerned.
Luckily I dont have too much important stuff on my laptop and have it all backed up. So I'm tempted to be a bit extreme as long as I get some confidence it would work.
I'm presuming that if I format the Hard drive (its not partitioned) and reinstall my OEM Vista (from a Dell Disk) then there should be no problems with installing CS4 again and getting it to run without all the trouble of it seemingly looking at the wrong key for activation. I'm not sure if the OEM disk allows me to reformat the complete hard disk prior to loading Vista again. Or whether it will just keep the old stuff on and mess things up again.
I know the retail versions give you an option of a complete fresh install, but I dont really want to go and buy a copy of Vista just to get CS4 to work, and with Windows 7 on the horizon.
It might be cheaper to just to a larger hard drive (which I want anyway) and install on that.
Any opinions? I just really want to get this up and running.
Cheers for any help.

Production Premium CS4 Student Edition-Quick Question

I just purchased the student edition of Production Premium CS4. I would like to install the software as soon as I recieve it, however, I do plan on buying a new computer within the next month.
Am I able to install the software on the computer I have now, and then once I have purchased the new computer, deactivate and uninstall CS4 from the old computer and reinstall and activate on the new computer?
I believe the Licence states that the software may only be installed on one computer. Does that mean one computer at a time or one computer ever?
Thank you!

A good and frequent question - and I think you should be OK... Check out the entries in this FAQ, "Do the Student Editions have restricted functionality?" and "How many computers can I use a Student Edition on?" (under "How Can I Use My Software?") http://bit.ly/byG0p6

Web Premium CS4 and Offline Files Issue

My system: Multiple notebooks, laptops running Windows 7 Ultimate, all on a Microsoft Small Business Server 2008 network.
I have My Documents, My Pictures, and My videos folders rehomed to the server via group policy, and when I unplug from the network these folders are available to the disconnected laptop/pc via offline files (and the offline file cache).
My issue: When I install Web Premium CS4 on any machine, if my laptop/pc is disconnected from the network, the offline folders disappear, although the offline file management snap-in tab shows the cache is stored, and when I plug back in to the network, the folders will soon appear. When the folders are visible, the offline status shows "Always available offline".
When I uninstall CS4, the trouble does not get fixed, but a barebones install from a disk image prior to CS4 installation fixes the problem, making me think adobe somehow changes network/registry settings to accomodate their own cache, or maybe something to do with the Adobe Bridge (just guessing). This happens on both 64 bit and 32 bit versions of Win 7.
I have duplicated this issue on 3 different laptops, all with the same result. I opened a case with Adobe, but my case was immediately closed saying it was a Microsoft/network issue. In fact, I would guess the person who worked the case dismissed this out of hand, the case got closed so quickly.
Is there someone out there that has run into this issue?
Thank you,
Bob

Was this issue ever resolved? We are in the process of deploying design premium to around 1000 faculty members, and are experiencing the same issue. I wont know till the end of the day whether i can say 100% that its a CS 4 issue but im running a test on 3 laptops with slightly different configs.
All laptops are win7 enterprise, with folder redirection enabled, same symptoms are occuring.
As a test, i have been testing the offline files at different stages in the laptop bundle deployment to see where it starts to fail. I sync mydocs, undock laptop and then login to check offline files. I then wipe the CSC clean and move on to next step in deployment, and repeat check.
We are at the last step in deployment, adobe design premium CS4, and there have been no failures with offline files so far. After it finishes deploying ill report on my findings.
We have a ticket open with microsoft and our sysadmin has been working with them for a few days to resolve the issue, and so far they have been baffled, escalating the ticket to a debug team. We have not yet mentioned that we suspect CS4 to be the issue, as they would probabily pass the buck and blame adobe, (similar to the OP saying adobe is blaming microsoft); we want them to fully investigate first.
Sincerely,
A Frustrated Team

Web Premium CS4 Installation Issues

I've been trying to install Web Premium CS4 on my Windows Vista Home Premium computer and keep getting a "setup error->contact customer support" message every time i click the install button, it happens almost immediately. Seeing how customer support isn't available on the weekend i figured i should post my problem here. This is my first time installing any Adobe CS product, so there shouldn't be any conflicting programs on my computer. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

Problem FIXED!
Round one with Adobe:
I called Adobe once in the morning and discussed how could fix my setup error message and actually install Web Premium CS4 on my computer. They told me the usual such as turn off my antivirus software, mess with msconfig and restart, turn off UAC everything i have already tried but i did it again just to see if by magic it would work, but alas, it did not. Then Adobe told me there was pretty much nothing they could do and to call my computer manufacturer. So i had a conversation with DELL and they basically told me to contact Adobe again....by this point i have spent over 3 hours making phone calls, and it's becoming very irritating. So i think to myself, i'm calling Adobe again and if they can't help me today with this problem i want a refund because it just not worth all this crap. My morning is gone and now my afternoon is about to be, also, i've restarting my computer what feels like 20 times, that can't be good for it.
Round two with Adobe:
I call Adobe again, have another hour plus conversation with them but this time they were much more helpful and they gave me a customer number(why they didn't do that the first time, i'm not sure)and a case number. What i ended up doing was running CS3 cleanscript(i didn't have any previous Adobe software on my computer but they still told me to run it) on my computer about 6 times, then they directed me to microsofts website to download something random for my 32bit Vista machine which checks my machine and made sure certain javascript.dll and vgscript.dll files were running. Also Adobe had to take care of some registration issues on there end. And BAM! problem fixed. And now i have Adobe Web Premium CS4 on my computer and so far so good. Anyways, for everyone who is getting the "setup error-please contact customer support", you need to do exactly that because they had me doing some things to my computer which the average person wouldn't know how to do.
So basically what i'm saying, don't waste time like i did(i was forced becaue it was the weekend and Adobe support is closed) and restart your computer 20 times changing this and that crossing your fingers hoping it will work. Adobe should be able to help. They were not helpful the first time around but the second time i called(the same number) it was almost like i dailed a completely different number and unlocked the "real" Adobe because the experience was completely different.. So call them multiple times if you have too because it seems like it will be a different experience each time. So basically it was a 4 hour ordeal that i hope to never go through again. So goodluck!

I cannot find my original disks for Adobe Web Premium CS4. How do I move the software from my old laptop to a new one?

I purchased a new laptop and am in the process of installing all my software. Due to a recent move, I cannot find my installation disks for Web Premium CS4. Is there a way to move the software from the old laptop to the new one? I am a casual user of the software and do not want to upgrade to a new version.

If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop

If I buy creative suite cs5 web premium for students, I will still may install it in, a mac desktop and windows laptop same license?

Not sure where you're getting this idea from but it doesn't matter how you purchase the software (Suite or standalone) the answer is still, no.
One license, one platform (Mac or Win)
Mac software works on Mac only.
Win software works on Win only.
From the End User License Agreement (EULA)
2.11 Dual Boot Platform. The Software is licensed for use on a specific operating system platform. You
must purchase a separate license for use of the Software on each operating system platform. By way of
example, if you desire to install the Software on both the Mac OS and Windows operating system platforms
on a device that runs both of those platforms (i.e., a dual boot machine), then you must first obtain two
separate licenses for the Software. This is true even if two versions of the Software, each designed for a
different operating system platform, are delivered to you on the same media.
From your repeated questions on this topic, does it mean that you have a Mac desktop and a Win laptop and you're trying the find the cheapest route to get DW and Flash Builder on both?

Help! Installed CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appeared!

Hi! I recently installed the CS4 student edition, but only Illustrator appears in 'Applications.' A lot of the files associated with Photoshop and In Design are on the computer, but not the programs themselves. I wonder if this has to do with the fact I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and In Design, but deleted them when I was ready to install CS4. They are no longer in trash.
Thank you.

If you deleted them by simply dragging them to the trash, then yes, that
would explain it. Those application need to be uninstalled, not trashed.

Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 - Student - no Acrobat Pro installed

I purchased and installed Adobe Design & Web Premium CS6 - Student Version. The box and the Adobe site list Acrobat Pro included. But in reviewing the Creative Cloud, it lists Acrobat Pro as a Trial. I do have Acrobat Standard already installed. Is the Pro version included with this software Suite and if so, how do I install it? Is the Standard version preventing the install?
Thanks

DaveKStL which version of Windows are you using? I would recommend removing your installation of Adobe Acrobat Standard using the Programs and Features Control Panel. Once removed you can then can install Adobe Acrobat Professional which is included with your Creative Cloud Membership. For additional information please see Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.
If you continue to face difficulties installing Acrobat Professional please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

I am interested in purchasing Photoshop CS4 student edition. I live in the States and my operating system is a Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger. It's also an intel. Anyway, I know a graphic designer who told me you can't use the program for commercial use and also you can only install the disc one time. What constitutes commercial use? If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
Thank you!

You can use the program for whatever you want.
>If I buy a new computer, will I be able to install PSCS4 again or transfer the files?
You can deactivate the other copy, then install from the original media on the new box. DO NOT
transfer the program files, ever; always install from the original media.
The license is for one user, two computers that are not used simultaneously, e.g. a laptop and a desktop box.
You can read the EULA on the Adobe web site. Do a search.

How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64

I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor. I want to do two things:
to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop. Having done this, I then want
to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem. It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install. I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed. Access is denied ". Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.
Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly. I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial? Can HP do anything about this?

Now when I try to run PS 64-bit I get "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." When I do this, it seems to install correctly until the very end, then it says "Installation Complete With Errors", and when I try to run I get the same 'component missing message'. What can I do? PS 32 bit runs fine. Some of the other applications ib Web Premium say the shortcut has been changed or removed. I appreciate your help...Thank you

Best advice I can think of is to uninstall and run the Clean Script from here.

What I’m not sure is if the version downloaded from the above link will activate with student edition serial numbers or not.
