Should you remove old versions (CS5) before you install creative cloud?

Should you remove old versions before you install creative cloud?  Right now I have CS4 and CS5 on my system.  Iwould like to remove them before I move forward.

Rod as Badavaraj indicated there is no requirements to keep the older versions installed.  If you have particular compatiblity needs with plug-ins or working collaboratively with other Adobe users using those versions however you may want to keep the older software titles installed.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS5 before upgrading to Creative Cloud?

    Just bought a new iMac. Do I need my old software on there before I buy the new CC?

    wondered if I needed my old software on it before upgrading.
    No.
    "Upgrades" are all full versions of the software. They don't depend on prior versions being installed in order to function. Upgrade licensing just means you pay less because you already own a previous qualifying version.
    In the case of Creative Suites (CS5, CS6) "upgrade" only refers to the serial number.
    In the Creative Cloud there are no serial numbers. They're activated via your Adobe ID. The versions available in the Cloud (CS6, CC and CC 2014) are all full versions containing full executable code.

  • What should I do? i  have error while installing creative cloud desktop, i have error with number 1

    I am on the mac, and i don't know what should i do?

    HI Duckapemadness
    Please follow the link: Other downloads and download Adobe Application Manager. On its first launch it will update itself as the required Creative Cloud Desktop application.
    Let me know for any further query.
    Thanks,

  • Can't remove old version ... for install new version

    I can't install the update of iTunes beacause it ends with an error in Quick Time:
    Die alte Version von Quick Time kann nicht entfernt werden. Setzen Sie sich bitte mit dem technischen Support in Verbindung.
    Than I tried it with "Systemsteuerung" and "Software". I doesn't work:
    Fehler bei der Übernahme der Transformationspakete. Stellen sie sicher, dass die Transformationspakete gültig sind.
    "

    First, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. If it goes, good. If it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to iTunes.
    Next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
    Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
    Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any iTunes and/or QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
    Next, we'll manually remove any leftover iTunes or QuickTime program files:
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the iTunes folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. (Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (5) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue. (Note: These files may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed using Add/Remove Programs earlier.)
    (6) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (7) Restart your computer.
    Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?
    (thank you very much, {b nior})

  • I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.' Can anyone help please

    I have tried to just install the new version of itunes from the apple website, it looks like it downloads but after 5 minutes at the end of the install it says 'old version of itunes cannot be uninstalled, please contact support.'?  
    Is there anyway I can remove the version of itunes from my computer? i dont mind if i lose the music/content I already have on my itunes. I need to do this as i have just received the iphone 4 and need to install the newest version of itunes.
    Many thanks

    I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

    I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
    I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
    However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
    I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
    Any ideas as to a solution?
    Thanks a lot
    Tom Fanning

    I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
    The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
    If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
    MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
    Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
    I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

    In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

  • Not able to remove old version of QuickTime

    I use Windows 7 Professional (64bit) and have been using iTunes with no problems. Got a message today to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes. Downloaded the file (the x64 version). Installer uninstalled old version and started to install new version and hung up when it tried to remove QuickTime. Now neither iTunes nor QuickTime are on my computer.
    I followed the instructions on the forum to do a clean uninstall of all Apple products including the verification process. iTunes still will not install... gets to the point of installing QuickTime and says it cannot remove the old version and I need to contact my support personnel.

    Do I have to uninstall my old version of PS in order to install Creative Cloud?

    No.
    Different versions of Adobe software install into their own separate folders on your hard drive so they can happily co-exist on the same computer.
    You can still launch and use the older versions at any time although it's often recommended to first close any apps you're not using.
