Adobe CS6 Upgrade Fiasco - HELP!!!!

I am trying very hard not to lose my cool over this whole issue, but I think I am now at my breaking point.
I, like every other "smart" cs5 owner saw an opportunity and jumped on it thinking and hoping that Adobe cares about thier customers and I trusted that fact.
Unfortunately as of today, almost 3 1/2 weeks after started my issue.I am still without my upgrade.
In end July I had not heard anything from adobe concerning my upgrade (checking my email everyday twice a day at this point fully knowing the upgrade came out in May). I went to the FORUMS as the support had directed me to and read a post (man I wish I could find it) explaining that Adobe was being overloaded with serial requests and that everyone would have there’s shortly. So I took that as a "be quiet we'll get to you don't worry!” I waited a month. Trying to be patient... still no email.
Then, beginning of Sept, I decided enough is enough, I’ll go through the annoying task of sitting on the phone waiting to explain my missing code story to some overseas agent who won't be able to understand me fully anyway and we'll inevitably send me in the direction of "upper management" so they can handle the request and get me my missing email with the serial code.
I did this and not only was I in compete shock when they told me "you can't get your copy now you are past the redemption time" but I was dumbfounded when they didn’t get that I NEVER RECIEVED AN EMAIL TO TELL ME WHEN I COULD NO LONGER GET MY COPY! Then they proceeded to tell me that this issue was being forwarded to basically someone who could resolve the problem and that I would receive an email AND a phone call in 24-48hrs. I received nothing for 72hrs.
On the fourth day I decided to call again, it is now middle of Sept. and still no resolution or any respectful apology for them not sending me an email of my upgrade. I go through the motions again, this time explaining that I now never got an email or phone call. I am hoping this time the light bulb will click and someone will say, "oops our bad!" and finally send me my serial code. Nope. Just the same BS over and over. The best part, Prince, the customer service rep I was working with the second time around, said that he would "personally" make sure that someone emailed and called me back within 24-48hrs with a resolution to my issue. He even told me that if they don't call I could ask for him personally and speak with him again.
You can guess they never called or emailed. I called again TODAY, this time, was given a 1hr 30min run around (oh and I did ask for Price and the lady said, "we cannot do dat here, dunno who tod you dat but there is no way to do dat". Unbelievable). Also, during this time, while I was on the phone waiting to get connected to the upper management AGAIN I get my very first email from adobe. In broken English. ...saying "we cannot give you your code. We can only give you 25% off for a new cs6". You can imagine my face at that point. When they finally pick up, I tell my whole horrify story again, and he tells me all he can do it offer me 25% off. That is all. I cannot get my code. I have to buy a new cs6.
Way to go Adobe. You really know how to screw over valued customers. You are so luck you have a monopoly in this department because you must know your customer service SUCKS and people would ditch you asap.
Can someone, anyone, point me in a direction where I can get some actual help? I feel that I did absolutely nothing wrong and I’m being penalized for being an adobe user. My ticket number is #209129334.
Thank you in advance.

Kailey,
I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you and am looking into the case number mentioned. I will update you shortly.
Thanks

  • Adobe cs6 upgrade and adobe support

    I purchased Adobe 5.5 Creative Suite in April 2012. I was supposed to get a free upgrade to cs6. How do I do this?
    Also the program came with no books or support and I am totally lost. What is the best way to familiarize myself with the program and be able to use it. I used to work with photoshop 6, and Illustrator and these new updated programs are totally different.

    Read the help and search the web. There's tons of tutorials out there for each and every of the programs. To claim your free upgrade contact support. If at the time of purchasing Cs5.5 you were elligible, they can sort things out.

  • How do I display Tamil fonts in Adobe CS6? Please help..

    Hello
    I am creating a document in Tamil. Normally I type in Google document. Then copy and paste in Word. It works perfectly.
    Now I am creating a poster in Adobe illustrator. I did type in google and pasted in notepad. It works perfectly.
    When I copy and past in Adobe Illustrator the font is not displaying correctly.
    I need it urgently. Can any one help?
    I did googling, and found the following. But I am unable to find similar settings in Adobe Illustrator CS6
    Thanks Ellis home. The issue got solved. That David's message which you pasted above was really helpful.                                  
    In preferences-->Type-->Text Engine options I selected 'Middle Eastern', previousy it was 'East Asia', after that the Tamil letters are getting displayed correctly. Thanks a lot...

    I have some tamil fount installed. When I tried to change the fount to tamil font, it does not work either.
    I have another font called Latha. When I changed to Latha font the character displayed in Tamil but all spelling went wrong in Tamil.
    Please help. Appreciate.
    Thanks
    Note; I am new to Adobe illustrator So if I made a silly mistake, my applogies.

  • Adobe support saying my CS3 License is no longer valid for CS6 Upgrade

    Hi,
    I need some real, tangible help here.  I've been on the phone and chat with Adobe support, which has been terrible.  I purchased Adobe Photoshop CS6 Upgrade under the big promotion last year to upgrade from CS3.  I am a valid owner of the CS3 Master Collection and purchased the CS6 upgrade straight from the Adobe website.  I've been able to use the CS6 product fine until now.
    Now, the support reps are telling me that my CS3 is not a valid upgrade product!!!  Seriously???  Most of them are not even aware Adobe had the promotion.  I'm just trying to transfer the license to another account, and just want the job done.
    Help!!
    Thanks!
    David

    Hi David, you say you were able to upgrade from a suite to an individual product? 
    Not sure how, because Adobe says that's not possible to do – see:
    Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
    If so, then what they say may be true and that could affect your eligibility to transfer the product.
    As for solutions, it's no longer possible to upgrade from CS3 to CS6, but it is still possible to upgrade from CS3 to CC.

  • Upgrading video card for adobe CS6

    Hello I have a Mac pro part number FA356LL/A - it is currently using NVIDIA Geforce 7300GT
    I am wondering if this can be upgraded to a more current card the system itself is working great till I installed Adobe CS6.
    It still works fine but the redraw tends to stall and give weird artifacting at random times
    I have 2 screens 24" EIZO main display for color
    15 inc NEC for pallets and extra realestate
    Any help on this matter woud be great
    thank you

    I am hoping that the video card is the problem, and I am going to replace this now as It has become completely unusable. I never know when the displays will go into a horizontal line frenzy and the only way out of it is to force the power button. Not cool

  • PSE 10  and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
    I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
    I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
    The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
    Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
    Kind regards
    János

    @hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
    After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
    IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
    NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

  • I want to update to LION,on my Macbook Pro duo core, (october 2006) because Adobe CC needs at least that. I know my computer is old, but works perfect to me and I do not want to stay in Adobe CS6 since I have access to Adobe Cloud CC. Please help.

    I probably dont want to go to Mountain Lion either because I've heard that it will slow down my computer, So, Lion 10.7 will be the perfect OS X for me.
    I have ne newest release of Snow Leopard installed and works great.
    Thank you ALL for your help.

    you will be ok updating to the new software but there will be some trade off. i have 3 macbooks 2006 that are all running the latest versions.
    some of the trade off are
    1-2 less of battery life
    slow wake ups from sleep
    slower start up time about 30-40 seconds longer then what you have now
    the operating system will use high % of your processer while idealing
    these are not the things you want to hear about a new os compared to the old one but this is how it is even with a new macbook pro. but it's not the end of the world. just make sure you have at least more then 2GB of ram and have a good harddrive and you will be ok.

    Just looking at that link and I don't think this is my problem. It says:
    Bootstrapper requires certain installer components to be in place to load correctly. Otherwise, it displays the error "Installer failed to initialize. File not found. Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem."
    Run the Adobe CS5 Cleaner Tool and remove the product that you are going to install. See Resolve installation problems with CS5 Cleaner Tool | CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 (cpsid_82947).
    But mine doesn't say "File not found" anywhere in the error message.
    If it helps on my desktop when I try to install it an icon comes up for a second that looks like the dmg mounted icon with the word "core" underneath it.
