Adobe Creative Suite from 2003 installation question

Hi -
  We purchased Adobe Creative Suite Education edition in 2003.   This works and runs on our G4.      Yes I know this is old!
  I'm looking to upgrade to an iMac but have a feelling that the CS from 2003 won't install on newer iMacs as the G4 was using the Motorola chip.
  Can anyone answer this question please?       I don't have the money to buy CS5 and I have been told that educational  versions cannot be upgraded.
Thanks for your help!

Sure. So what's the specific problem?

  • Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC?

    Im changing my PC to a new one, how can I transfer Adobe Creative Suit from my old PC to my new PC? I bought it online, so the serial is on my profile.

    You need to install the software on the new machine the same way you installed it on the old machine.  You are allowed to have two activated installations if you would like to retain the original installation as a backup.  If not, then you should deactivate it (Help -> Deactivate in any program),
    If you have a download link in your account online you can use that or you can download thru the page linked below...

  • Moving Adobe Creative suite from old computer to new?

    I have a 2004 IMAC and just bought a 2011 Refurbished IMAC. Can I just copy my Adobe Creative Suite applications from my old computer to the applications folder of my new one?

    Two things you need to check:
    Is your old Adobe software compatible with whatever OS version you are running now (what is your OS version: 10.6.x, 10.7x, or 10.8.x??)
    And, actually even more importantly: check their license agreement/requirements - are you allowed to move it > would you need a new registration key , etc.
    If the answer to both questions is affirmative, then simply install it from your original install disks.

  • How can I re-install my Adobe Creative Suite 6? Installation was idle when installing AdobeHelp

    I've problem re-install my Creative Suite 6 Master Collection for almost all applications. Installation was idle/stop when installing AdobeHelp, I've already tried to let the installation process ran for almost 24 hours, but it's still idle, so I cancelled the installation.
    I've tried several times, and the result is still the same. It's idle when installing Adobehelp
    And there is no feature/option in the installation menu to not installed Adobehelp.
    Before re-install, I've used AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool, because I can't installed adobe illustration that I've not installed yet before and the installation crashed.
    So I follow the instruction till I get suggestion to download AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool. and I ran it and choose all cleaning.
    Now I still have problem to re-install my Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection.

    System information:
    Laptop Dell Vostro 14", Intel Pentium i5, Ram 4GB
    OS Windows 7 Home Basic
    Is that enough? do you need more information?
    what kind of information?

  • Transfer ADOBE creative Suite from an old Mac to a new Mac, I have the code but I don't have a CD. What are the correct steps?

    Hi
    I bought a new Mac and I want to transfer my Adobe Creative Suit CS6 to it from my old one. What are the correct steps? Please note that I don't have a CD because I downloaded it via the net. It was an upgrade for the student edition. I heard something about deactivation and reactivation but I don't want to do something wrong then lose my precious software. Please help. Thanks.

    You can download the software and install it using the page linked below.
    CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html
    You are allowed to have the software installed and activated on two machines, so there should be no reason to deactivate it on your other machine, or at least you can wait until you see it loaded and working on the new one.

  • Switching Adobe Creative Suite from windows to Mac.

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 for windows a few years ago. We recently purchased a Mac and I'd like to use it on the Mac. Is there a way to switch computers without having to pay for the whole thing again?

    There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6. CS4 is too old to qualify.
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Unfortunately your options are to:
    Install Windows via Bootcamp or Parallels on the Mac then run CS4 in the virtual Windows environment on the Mac, or
    Buy the full version of CS6, or
    Join the Cloud

  • Can I re-install Adobe Creative Suite from an external hard drive?

    After an appointment in the Genius Bar I have decided to have my mac's hard drive completely wiped. I had installed Mavericks and it caused a lot of my Adobe programs to stop working probably, the girl in the mac store said this was because the Adobe Master Collection CS4 is incompatible with Mavericks. So I'm having to take my Mac in to be completely wiped so that Lion can be reinstalled. I have ran time machine on an external hard drive to back up all my files, including my Adobe master collection. When I get back Mac back, can I reinstall my Adobe programs just from my external hard drive? If so, how do I do this?

    You can try with migration assistant.. but I think you would be much better doing install from original disks. You can recover your working files etc..
    Alot will depend on what you have done with Time Machine since you upgraded to Mavericks. If you did not do any TM backups you could have simply restored the computer from TM.
    How to use migration assistant.. see http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html

    If the software is complaining about too many activations or unable to activate, call the number on the activation screen (or if none, Adobe Technical Support - phone number on Adobe web site), explain that your old computer broke and you were unable to deactivate the software, and that as such, you need another activation. They should be able to immediately assist you.           - Dov

  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 install question.

    Hello,
    I have installed only certain apps of my Adobe Creative Suite 4. The question is that if i look in the finder to the application folder there are all the folders of the application that i mark to install with color icons, but there are also folders of the applications that i DO NOT mark to install without color icons. I belive that those folders do not contain all the application because have a small size, but theiy are not empty. For what are those folders there? It is safe to remove them?
    I will appreciate a lot any help or information that you could give me. Thanks for your time,
    Marcelo :)

    Hello,
    It seems that this is a common issue with the installation of Adobe Creative Suite 4, i have read now the reade me file (i should read it first when i installed the apps) and there it said in common issues: "Protected Content for Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encore, Soundbooth and OnLocation will be installed, even if those applications have been not been selected for installation. It will appear as though the applications have been installed: application folders will appear in the Start menu on Windows or in the Applications folder on Mac. However, upon attempting to launch one of these applications, an error message will appear saying "You can't open the application because it is not support on this architecture." (#BG063851) "
    It does not said it we have to delete those folders or not, but since this is in the common issues section i belive this is a problem and that i should remove it. What do you think?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo :)

  • Cross-Platform Adobe Creative Suite 4 For Mac From Windows

    Hello,
    I am having quite a unusual problem. The problem is that I have a copy of Adobe Creative Suite from my company that is meant for Windows, and it will not install on a mac. Does anyone know of a way to install a windows native Adobe Suite on a Mac platform? I have tried using a emulator called wine, but every time I get into the setup when the system is checking compatibility the entire thing is halted. I do not have access to any windows machine, and installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question. I also considered swapping the windows version of the software with the Adobe company, but then I would have to destroy the disk of my company. Any help on installing Adobe creative suite 4 meant for a Windows platform on a mac? Emulation etc?
    Thanks

    installing a Virtual Machine is out of the question
    Why?
    Try CrossOver Mac from codeweavers.com
    Otherwise, your only option is to use install Windows via Boot Camp.

  • Trouble Installing Adobe Creative Suite

    Hi,
    Im trying to install Adobe Creative Suite from 2 disc images. It gets to the end of its install run and all the program folders appear in my applications. But when i try and double click on any of the program icons ie. Photoshop CS it doesnt start up. It kinda looks like it is starting up (bouncing icon in the menu bar) but then it just stops and nothing happens.
    Ive had this before with other disc image installers.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, don't believe you. We've had all sorts here ask point blank about installing software they've downloaded. If you truly did purchase the product, then either contact Adobe to get a replacement set of disks, or talk to your insurance company about a claim for the loss.

    I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
    Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
    I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?

    Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.

  • How do you transfer your adobe creative suite cs5.5 from one laptop to another. I bought downloadable files from the Adobe website; I did not own physical cds.

    I bought a downloadable file when I bought Creative Suite CS5.5 for my laptop, which has now become slow and laggy. So I bought a new laptop and have downloaded trial versions of CS5.5 on to it, as suggested by information online, only to type in my serial number and it tells me that it's unvalid. I'm a college student and spent a lot of money to have this compliation of programs, and I do not have the money to invest into CS6 quite yet, as my needs are met with the previous version.
    Is there any way to transfer the creative suite from one computer to another, as I've tried many and have been unsuccessful.

    No, transferring between machines does not work.  You need to install using installation files.  You can download thru the following and use your serial number to activate...
