Upgrade from CS4 Master Education to CS5 Master Education

Hi,
I just bought the CS4 Master Student Edition in February 2010 and I didn't realize that there was going to be a new version so soon.  If I wanted to upgrade to the CS5 Master Student Edition would it just be the commercial upgrade price or is there a student discount on an upgrade?  (I know that the there's a big discount already, but I just thought to ask first.)  The upgrade looks like it's amazing and I'd love to be able to use the new edition for my remaining college courses but I'm not sure if I'd be able to squeeze out $900 after we just bought CS4 this year so if there was a discount that would be awesome!
Thank you so much,
Katie

There are no upgrades available between student or educational versions of Adobe products. You can either upgrade to the commercial version of CS5 from your student version of CS4 or you can buy a full CS5 student version (as you noted, the student versions are very highly discounted), whichever is more economically advantageous to you.

  • Upgrading from CS4 Design Standard to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hopefully a simple question. I am currently running CS4 Design Standard and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard. My version of CS4 itself was an upgrade from the full installation version software of CS2 (I managed to skip the CS3 stage using a previous Adobe upgrade deal). Am I right in thinking that although the CS4 was an upgrade package it is now my 'standard platform' so to speak, and therefore I can use upgrade software again to take me up to CS5.5? I have the serial number for the CS4 software.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    That is correct. Make sure you get the right upgrade…there are several.

  • Upgrade from Cs4 Web standard to CS5 - only premium available?

    I have for the moment CS4 Web Standard software package from Adobe.
    But I noticed that there is no upgrade to CS5 Web Standard.    It seems there is only a Web Premium.
    May we expect that there will be a Standard upgrade also?
    Kind regards
    Martine

    John,
    That is not good news.  My CS4 Web Standard is also a Student Version. I'm no longer a student.
    So can I still upgrade by purchasing the Premium Upgrade.
    Or is there a possibility that I can upgrade the Dreamweaver component?
    Or is it also possible to install only Dreamweaver CS5 next to my CS4 package?
    Thanks for assisting me
    Kind regards

  • Upgrade from CS4 to CS5.5. did not go smoothly, now stuck at CS5 - how do I fix the installation?

    Hi There,
    I had a lot of issues upgrading from CS4 (Adobe Application Manager crashing, installer not opnening etc) but managed to get the installer to run by using the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove all traces of CS4.
    However, when the installer finished, it stated there were errors and now the installers won't run - nor can I run updates from the CS apps that did install.
    I've normally never had any issues upgrading, so am not sure why I had so many issues and the best way forward from here - Hoping I don't have to remove all the CS5 apps, use the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again and start from the begining.
    I'm trying to install Master Collection CS5.5 on Mac OS 10.7.2
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Ben

    Have had to hang up as I was calling the US using a New Zealand Mobile while in Portugal (long story) - and the 11 minute wait time would've cost the same amount as the CS5.5 upgrade!
    I had to call the US because:
    The New Zealand support number listed on the Adobe site doesn't work
    New Zealand is not listed as a country Adobe suppoprt will call back from the "Schedule a callback" page
    What a joke.
    I used the Adobe Support Adviser app to analyze the install error log and it provided me with a very helpful link to a support page that states "You can ignore this error and launch the products you were installing."
    Unfortunately, nothing was installed.
    I need to do work while a long way from home and can't use/install any CS5 apps - does anyone know how to install CS5 in Lion?
    Cheers

  • Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

    Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
    Thanks.

    Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

  • MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED

    Hello,
    I'm interested to find out how to MAC UPGRADE FROM CS4 STANDARD TO CS5 STANDARD OR EXTENDED. Its my intention to buy the upgrade not thru
    download, but purchasing the dvd's needed eventually used if necessary.
    Thank you

    No, forget it. Adobe only sells current versions. How would you even be able to buy a used upgrade that is tied to someone else's previous version? Makes no sense at all and is clearly a breach of the EULA - whoever may sell you this "upgrade" would have to include all his previous versions leading up to that point, making it a completely independent full license that has no relation whatsoever to your CS4. And you would still have to run the license transfer drill.

  • Want to upgrade from CS3 [Design Premium] to CS5

    Hi,
    Want to upgrade from Design Premium CS3 to CS5 and saw there's a difference in price from upgrading from CS4 & CS3. Dumb question: If I bought the CS5 upgrade, would I be able to install the suite or would it ask for the previous CS4 version? If it only asks for CS3 I would really save some $$$$$$.
    Can you help,
    Ellen

    What do you mean, there is a difference between upgrading from CS3 and CS4? An upgrade is an upgrade, there is only one price for an upgrade.
    In CS4 (and CS5) Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing for suites only.
    http://www.adobe.us/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/
    What is Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy?
    Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy offers customers who upgrade at every release a lower upgrade price relative to customers who upgrade less frequently. This means that customers upgrading to Creative Suite 5 from Creative Suite 4 will pay a lower upgrade price compared to customers upgrading from an earlier version of Creative Suite.
    Why does Adobe offer tiered upgrade pricing?
    Customers who upgrade regularly have long requested better pricing compared to those who upgrade infrequently. Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing in 2008, with the launch of Creative Suite 4, to reward these customers.
    Does tiered pricing also apply to individual Creative Suite components?
    No. The tiered upgrade policy applies only to editions of Adobe Creative Suite and not to upgrades to individual components, such as After Effects, Flash Professional, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and so on. Customers can upgrade to the CS5 version of individual CS components from up to three versions back. The only exception is Adobe Premiere Pro; customers can upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 from any earlier version of Adobe Premiere.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

    Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?  I have not found the option to do so.

    My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...).  I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource.  Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800.  Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people.  In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza.  Not a bad deal.  If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months.  For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
    What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
    As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced.  I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner.  Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications.  I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision.  If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers.  But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time.  What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade.  NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month.  These Germans tend to hold grudges.

  • Upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server

    Hi,
    I have been looking on adobe site to check if I can have an upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license but need to migrate to Indesign CS5 server. Does anybody know whether it is possible to buy upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. Or will I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appriciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been using Indesign CS3 for generating automated reports. These reports are large in numbers. Limitation with Indesign CS3 is it only allows single instance of the application. And hence I am forced to generate these reports in sequence using multiple servers. Indesign CS5 server on the other hand seems to allow multiple instances running at the same time. This would mean I can generate multiple reports at the same time. This will reduce time to generate these reports and also limit the number of servers. This is the reason I want to migrate from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. However, I am not sure if I can get direct upgrade from Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server or I have to buy new license for Indesign CS5 server. Do you have any idea on this, please suggest. Thanks in advance for your response.
    Regards,
    Chaitan.

  • When would be good time for me to upgrade from CS4 production premium to Master Collection 5.5/6?

    Hello Adobers.
    I have CS4 Production Premium but I need Indesign so was thinking of upgrading to Master collection. It seems like Master collection 6 will be out early next year? So I am confused about when would be the best time to upgrade from $$$ saving point of view?
    So should I upgrade from....
    a) - CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 5.5 now and then  > to Master collection 6 later
    or
    b) CS4 Production Premium > to Master collection 6 directly
    or
    c) - CS4 Production Premium > to  Master collection 5.5 now and forget about version 6.
    I assume option c) would be cheapest. Which will be cheaper out of a) and b) ?
    Thank you for advice.

    Adobe has made no announcement about CS6. The best time to buy anything is when you need it.

  • CS5 upgrade from CS4 - plugins question

    Hi -
    can anyone refer me to a list of steps to move all of my plugins from CS4 to CS5 as part of the upgrade?
    My plugins are:
    Anthropics portrait pro 10
    Image Trends - Fisheye hemi, pearly whites and shine-off
    Nik Software - NIk sharpener, color efex, silver efex
    onONE - mask pro 4
    picture code - noise ninja
    Power Retouche
    Photo Frame 4
    PhotoTools Pro 2.6
    I don't really want to run both versions of photoshop... I've done that in the past and never once went back to the old once I upgraded... but open to advice there, too.
    thanks,
    tom

    Read my previous post again:
    You can only use those plug-ins in CS5 that have been upgraded by their particular software developer to run in 64 bits.
    CS4 and earlier versions of Photoshop were 32-bit Carbon applications.  CS5 is Cocoa and runs in Snow Leopard in 64 bits.  You will need to get the updated 64-bit versions of your plug-ins from each of their developers.
    Otherwise you'll need to run CS5 in 32 bits, with a corresponding loss in performance and any other consequences of running in 32 bits.

  • Third Party Plug-Ins have disappeared on upgrade from CS4 to CS5

    Hello Folks,
    I have recently upgraded from PS CS4 to CS5 and now, on looking through the Plug-Ins available fromthe Menu - Help - About Plug-In --, I see that my 3rd Party Plug-Ins (NOT the Plug-Ins which had previously been installed automatically by CS4 and are now no longer installed by CS5 as a matter of course), such as Akvis / Bokeh / Imagenomic and many others, are no longer shown.
    Has anyone else out there experienced the same problem due to this upgrade? If so, I would be grateful if someone could advise as to whether there is some solution readily available OR, is it a case of having to re-install the 3rd Party Plug-Ins one by one??
    This did not happen when I upgraded from CS3 to CS4 - all my 3rd Party Plug-Ins made that transition quite successfully.
    For information purposes, I am running Windows 7 Ultimate on a 32 bit system mode.
    Thank You,
    Geeborg.

    Yes it did.  You just don't remember having to deal with it.
    Photoshop does not ever install in the same folder as a prior version.  Thus CS5 will not see the plug-ins that have been installed in or under the Adobe Photoshop CS4\plug-ins folder.
    Thus you will need to install your plug-ins again, pointing them at the CS5 area.  Some (as mentioned above) may need to be upgraded.

  • Upgrading from CS4 to CS5.5 as student?

    Hi
    I have Creative Suite design premium for PC (CS4) and I want to upgrade it to CS5.5. I am a student as a graphic designer, but I can't find anything about buying upgrades as a student, only full products?
    How do I do this?

    That may depend on how long you plan remaining a student and whether you are ever going to upgrade again, I guess.... Yes, of course, in your situation the price difference wouldn't be that big, but otherwise there is no problem anywhere here - CS5.5 installs independently from CS4 and even student licenses may be used for the occasional commercial work...
