Is it possible to install CS4 Mac version to a PC workstation?

Hi,
My iMac just fried the other day. I have decided not to purchase a Mac. I currently own CS4 along with Premiere and AfterEffects CS4.  I have read somewhere in the vast Internet world that Adobe has a key that can allow a one time converion of their products to go from one OS to another.  In my case I want to install all of my Mac applications onto a PC. Is there anyway that this can be done?  Need to know before spending any money.  THX.

No. Platform swaps only apply to current versions, that would be CS6, and since you are past the upgrade deadline, you have not much choice beyond getting a completely new CS6 license or signing up for Creative Cloud.

  • Is it possible to instal CS4 at a windows 8.1 pc?

    Is it possible to instal CS4 at a windows 8.1 pc?

    Thanks so much Gene. I really appreciate your time and suggestions.
    Btw, should have been clearer  as one couldn't imagine I meant that 5.5 (i.e. ancient one). The adobe website also has this info: Windows 8.1 compatibility for Adobe Photoshop version 5 which just says version 5.5 under compatibility. So it does seem possible indeed to run this but perhaps for someone more techie. Had a look at the thread re: 6.0 and tried to run it as admin. Tried copying the contents on the desktop and change the compatibility under properties (even ran compatibility trouble shooter under properties) - but in vain. Must be doing something wrong. Prolly easier to return the CD (:/)
    If anyone could drop an idea in relation to how/where to buy a genuine and legal copy of a CS5/CS6 I woudl greatly appreciate. I bought the 5.5 off eBay and probably will search for the right version this time on there again. But it's a bit of a question mark for me in regards to how do I make sure that I buy a genuine licenced version which I can register with the Adobe.

  • Is it possible to install previous TRIAL versions of previous versions of Adobe Creative Cloud Software?

    Look, I'm just testing the trial versions right now.  Don't try to troubleshoot something that I don't ask; this is what I'm looking to accomplish:
    Is it possible to install a trial version of any of the Adobe Creative Cloud software in a previous version?  By that, I am referring to the following:
    I want to install a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014; NOT Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.1.  If you notice, I want to reinstall a trial version of the previous release.  Don't ask why, you'll just laugh for my stupid reason, but I'm merely wondering if it is possible.  Creative Cloud now only offers trials of the newest versions, and I want to install trails of previous versions for my own, personal reasons.  Is this possible to do with creative cloud, or must I do it some other way?
    Is it also possible to obtain the physical installation files so that I won't have to always go through creative cloud to download them again (and then I can just set it up without being connected to the internet)?

    The previous version option is only available to individuals which have a membership.  The availability of previous version titles available is dictated by the computer meeting the minimum system requirements and the entitlement of the membership to access the requested applications.  To future viewers of this discussion if you are unsure what software titles your membership is entitled to please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.
    Wastingyourlifeaway you can download the installers for the CC version of the applications from Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools.  Please make sure to complete the Very Important Instructions prior to scrolling down the page and clicking on the download link.

  • Installing a Mac version of PS that was upgraded from a Win version

    I don't seem to be able to get through to Adobe today on the phone at all, so would like to try here with this question.  I just got my first Mac last week after 20 years plus on the PC.  I've been upgrading my Photoshop for WINDOWS since v.4.0 (current version I have is CS4 for Win), and could upgrade to CS5 for Mac, which is about $500 less than buying a new (Mac) version outright.  My concern/question is this, that after inserting the upgrade DVD, the install program will ask me to insert the "qualifying" CD/DVD  which in my case will be a Windows PS install DVD.  I do not have Windows and/or Parallels, so would the Mac be able to read/recongnize the qualifying Win Photoshop program to complete the Mac installation?
    Joe

    I don't know if Adobe still does cross-grades, but when I switched from Windows to Mac years ago, I was allowed to purchase full Mac versions at the upgrade price. Since the Mac software wasn't an upgrade box, it needed no previous disk or serial number to install it. Better yet, I was also allowed to keep using my Windows versions if I wanted to.
    You do have to do this directly through Adobe so they can verify your legal purchases of the Windows software you're doing a cross-grade from.

  • Win 7 x64 - possible to install CS4 64-bit only?

    Is it possible to install only the 64-bit version of CS4 on Win7 64-bit ?
    I do not really need to keep both versions (I do not use many plugins).
    Thank you

    The general advice is to install both 32- and 64-bit version but there is a read-me on the installation disk which tells you how install CS4 64-bit only.
    Quote:
    If you want to install ONLY the 64-bit application follow these steps:
    1. Run the Photoshop CS4 installer.
    2. Enter your serial number. Click Accept.
    3. On the right side of the Options panel under the 64-bit heading, uncheck the box for Adobe Photoshop CS4 (leave the “Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64-bit)” option checked).
    4. Finish installation.

    Hi all,
    I am facing a typical problem.
    I am using ECC 6.0 on Solaris server and accessing through CITRIX where SAP GUI 6.4 is installed.
    I have got Internet Explorer 7.
    Some dumps are cumming like message_server_x
    Then I went for SAP GUI 7.1 in which error is not cumming.
    There is only one CITRIX server at this moment and users from all the location is using through this on live system.They are not getting such issue.
    But we the new project team is getting this issue of dump.
    Now the question is whether it is possible to install SAP GUI 7.1 seperately on the same CITRIX server where SAP GUI 6.4 is running???
    Thanks in Advance

  • Do I need to install CS4 full version before installing CS5 upgrade?

    New hard drive in iMac. I have a full version of CS4 design premium and an upgrade version of CS5. Do I have to install both? Or can I just install CS5 upgrade and somehow use my CS4 full serial number to validate the CS5?

    You have the right idea.  You do not have to install CS4.  At some point during installation of CS5 you will be required to enter the serial number for CS4 in order to confirm it as a valid upgrade installation

    I think there is an new patch  ,  Not sure where to find this that is relevant to my computer.
    Be grateful if someone could send me a link and instructions on the relevant choice for my computer.
    Also Do I need to uninstall old Java downloads.  if yes Please advisee how I should do this.
    Be grateful if you could send me a link that will allow the updated Java to be recogized by my computer Mac Version 10.7.5
    thank you
    Sue

    I have downloaded the latest Java  (JRE)  and Java is checked enabled as well as  JavaScipt and Web plug-ins are enabled.
    I thought I would download once again  from your link - MacOSX jre7u6 Macosx-x64 dmg.
    On opening the package to install was advised that a higher version of the JRE is already installed on the system.
    Still unable to open my Labs software as the advice is still to download the latest Java.
    Checking the net again found another Java option for Mac Lion - so I downloaded and installed the version OS X2012 -006.
    Still no joy,  as my photo Lab software keeps givng me the same message that i to open " RGB Digital Direct" I need to download the Java Runtime Environment for Web Start Application.
    I  then went back into Java Website and it gave an option to detect whether I have the correct Java Software - report came back - Verified Java Version - " Congratulations You have the recommended Java installed ( Version 7 Update 9)"
    BE grateful of your expert advice.

  • Is it possible to install the latest version of CUBAC stand alone ?

    I am in the process of upgrading our phone system. We have a receptionist who does not use the current call manager software. She is near retirement and prefers to use the telephone instead of the software. With that said is it possibe to install the latest version of CUBAC on a free standing workstation or is a server required? If a server is required can it be a Windows 2008 32 bit server or must it be a Windows 20043 32 bit server.
    We're trying to keep our server count as low as possible. This is the reason for my inquiry.

    Hi,
    Please refer the section "Hardware and Software requirements" from page 24 onwards in the below link.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmac/arc/cubdacag851x.pdf
    Windows 2008 R1 (32 bit) is also supported.
    Hope it helps.

  • Is it possible to install an older version of Mac software on a new Mac mini?

    My wife just bought a new Mac mini that was Yosemite loaded. She struggles with font sizes and hopes we can end her frustration. I am still using Mountain Lion on my iMac and can easily adjust font size everywhere (all software, Safari, Firefox, etc.). Can we meet her Mac mini needs?

    An older OS will not have the correct drivers for the new Mini.  With Yosemite you can adjust the contrast, transparency and also pick "dark mode" which can help in readability.  Look in preferences, accessibility and also general for those settings.

  • Installing a Mac version upgraded from Win

    I just purchased a Mac after 20 years plus on a PC/Win.  I have PS CS4 Ext for Win and could upgrade that to CS5 Ext for Mac.  However, I will be asked to insert the qualifying CD/DVD for the upgrade.  Since I do not have Windows or Parallels installed on my new Mac, will the Mac read/recognize the qualifying Windows CD/DVD in order for me to complete the installation of the Mac upgraded CS5?
    I am not able to get a hold of anyone at Adobe today

    No, absolutely not.
    What's more, the Windows serial number will be invalid to cross over to a Mac upgrade.  You'll need a special serial number, rather than just buying a Mac upgrade.  Call Adobe customer service in order to request a "cross-grade", which involves surrendering the Windows license altogether and destroying the Windows version.
    You will no longer be able to use the Windows copy, ever.

  • Media Encoder for CS4 (Mac Version) will not encode

    Hi-
    I am editing on a new macbook pro and Premiere works great....but the media encoder keeps giving me error messages stating the source media can't be found. I have tried to update the software, but the update will not complete (update work for the rest of CS4). I have reinstalled and still have the same problem. I have downloaded to the most current patch but it tells me the version on my computer is newer. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Any ideas?

  • Had installed cs4 trial version, then tried to enter serial number, but it was invalid and now I can't seem to reinstall the trial version as I had been using, as it comes up serial number invalid even though I am just asking for a trial basis of 30 days.

    does anyone know what to do next so I can continue to use the trial versions of cs4. It appears as I have been kicked out for good because I entered the serial number wrong. Spoke to a rep and they said this was not available to purchase online, as it is an older version, but I need the old version to use the halftone option they have on cs4. sure would appreciate some advice, thanks to anyone who might have the answer.

    If the trial version is indicating it is no longer available and you need to enter the serial number to activate it then that is the end of the trial version for that machine.  If you have another machine then that will be one way of getting the trial version running for another trial period.

  • I have a creative cloud account with in design CC. Is it possible to install an older version?

    I want to install cs6 so all my collegue can easily open my documents.

    Log into creative.adobe.com and click on download center.
    Scroll down to InDesign and click on the icon. From the indesign page, look for the “in this version” section and click the drop down. Choose CS6 and then click download.
