Adobe eLearning Suite 6 - Upgrading to 6 and keeping the previous version - is it allowed? Possible?

I have just completed an enormous year long project in CP El Suite 5 and want to upgrade to 6. I need to keep a version 5 to handle edits to the legacy materials but need to get going in 6 so I can enjoy all those new features. Is there any way to keep 5 and install 6 as a separate full install under the one upgrade license?
Best, Steve

Interesting take, Anita
I say that because on the RoboHelp side of things, we see regular admonitions that it's NOT okay per the licensing to purchase an upgrade at upgrade prices, then continue to use both the older and newer versions side by side.
I'm not sure if there is logically any way to realistically police that, but just as you are 99.9% certain it's fine with Adobe, I'm going to crawl way out here on this shaky little limb and state that I'm about 78.5% certain it's not okay if you read the licensing agreement.
And here's a fun little tidbit. Did you know that 87.4% of all statistics are totally made up on the spot?
Only someone from Adobe or one of the attorneys among us can honestly answer this question... Rick

My friend dislikes the updated itunes 11.0.1 and wants the previous version put back in. On a Macbook 2,1 with OSX 10. 6.8 how can this be done?

You need a Time Machine backup to restore an old version. If you don't have one, you'll lose your library because it can only be used with iTunes 11

Attempted to install AirPort Utility 6.0 on my new mac mini. Install failed and now the previous version 5.5.3 won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 AirPort Utility still won't open? Help.

Now the previous version won't open. I downloaded and tried to instal 6.0 without software update, which failed, and my old 5.5.3 Airport Utility still won't open.
iTunes no longer recognizes my airport express.
Error Message:
None of the selected updates could be installed.
An unexpected error occurred.
Can't delete Airport Utility and reinstal from scratch as it is, “AirPort Utility” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Any sugestions?

I reinstalled AirPort 5.5.3 which worked, but the app still won't launch but iTunes now recognizes my AirPort Express, I just hope I don't want to change its settings.

How do I uninstall firefox 4 and use the previous version. I do lots of work related tasks that require quick time to work and it doesn't with ff4.o.

Quick time crashes and I have lost almost all sounds/video sound capability with the new ff4.0. I want to remove it and replace it with the previous version until the bugs are fixed.

Maybe wait another day because Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21 and maybe that version works better.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software.
See also:
* [[No sound in Firefox]]
* [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
Also check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />

Hod do I uninstall Numbers 3.0 and install the previous version?

I am on OS X Mavericks.
Thanks,
Alex Neuman

Hi Alex,
If you had the previous version, it is still on your Mac, in a subfolder within your Applications folder called iWork '09 or similar. You can run both versions if you want. If you edit a document on Numbers 3.0 you can export it back to the previous version via the menu File > Export to... Numbers '09.
If you have never had the previous version, you can buy it on the major onlne retailers as a boxed set. Look for iWork '09.
For more information on the differences between the two, you might be interested in reading the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads.

I received an email from adobe advising me to upgrade since I was using the older version of adobe. I went ahead and did that. Whenever I try to access various games and YouTube I see and icon BLocked plug-in appearing.

What can I do to unblock blocked plug-ins

You need to update Flash and Java.

I have had LR since LR3. I bought the original program and have done updates ever since. Do I need to keep the previous versions of LR for my LR5 to work?

Hope I can get some insight!

Just to be a little more specific, you do not need to keep LR3 installed on your computer, but the terms of your license with Adobe require you to not transfer LR3 to another person if you have upgraded to LR5; if you think of it that way, you should "keep" LR3 in that sense. The license terms allow you to have Lightroom (any version numbers) installed on any two devices (which could mean a Mac computer and a Windows PC, or a laptop or desktop, or any combination along those lines). If someone else were to attempt to register the same LR3 key you're supposed to still have to run your LR5 upgrade, either you or the other person could get blocked in that attempt.
Before upgrading, it's always a good idea to download and try out LR5 to make sure it runs well on the computer you want to use it on--some devices that can run LR3 well can't run a later version well, and if that applies to your hardware, it's best to figure it out before you've paid for LR5.

Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 extended trial for Partners - Serial Number not working

Greetings from Greece,
We are new Adobe Certified Resellers. I was informed that via the Adobe Partner Connection portal I can install an NFR extended trial copy of Adobe eLearning suite 6.1 for demo and training purposes. So I downloaded this software (version 6.1 WIN) from the website above but the serial number provided on the same page is not working with the message "The serial number you entered is invalid. Please try again. If the problem persists contact support".I am sure that I am typing the correct one (as I find it on the web page), tried several times, also tried copy-paste to be sure.
Please advise. Thank you in advance.

Hi Maria,
I would request to email your concern and details at : [email protected] and they will be able to help you with this.

Why did Firefox "upgrade" me to a version of Firefox that is incompatible with the new version? Where do I find the previous version and reload it??ne

I have an iMac OS version 10.4. Mozilla automatically upgraded me to the new version of Firefox EVEN THOUGH the computer should have "told" it that it wasn't compatible. I'm getting that message when I try to download Firefox from the web site today. (I've had to do that before when one of the ever-so-helpful reinstalls crashed and burned repeatedly) So, now all I get is crash reporter when I try to use Firefox.
Where do I go to download and reinstall the previous version AND also PREVENT Mozilla from being ever so helpful in the future?
Major glitch in the Mozilla process if you force users to "upgrade" and then it's broken. It's not an upgrade if you create problems for the user. That's very, very poor planning and service.
I'll be writing more about this in a blog post at www.maryschmidt.com.

Is this the HP Simplepass application? If it is EgisTec, who now provide the HP Simplepass application, have made an update of the scanner software for Firefox 4, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/questions/814397

Adobe eLearning Suite 2.5 Subscription upgrade

I spoke with an Adobe rep last year about my Adobe eLearning Suite 2.5 subscription, specifically about upgrading to the latest version. I was advised that when the subscription expires (7 February 2013) I would be upgraded to the latest version. I just received an email from Adobe saying that my subscription has been renewed however I don't have the latest version of Adobe eLearning suite nor is it available in the downloads section of my Adobe Your Account.
How do I get this rectified? Do I need to cancel my subscription and sign up for a new one? Was the adobe rep wrong?
I've just tried to call Adobe but the office is closed. The advertised office times are: Mon-Fri 9am-5pm AEST. I called at around 4:15pm AEST but the office was closed. I suspect that the actual office times are based on AEDT, not AEST, so I'll give it another shot tomorrow if need be.

Hi There,
If you received an email stating that your Subscription has been upgraded, then you can download the ELS 6 from http://www.adobe.com and install it. From CS 6 onwards subscription process has been changed a little bit, you don't require a Serial number. You can install the product and select the option Select Subscription and use your Username and Password(Adobe ID) and install it. It will activate it.
Please let me know in case you have any doubt.
Thanks

I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (Teacher and Student Edition. I've purchased the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Trying to install, but it says my serial number is invalid?

I have Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium (Teacher and Student Edition). I've purchased the upgrade to Adobe Photoshop CS6 - Trying to install, and it says the Adobe CS6 is valid - but only provides 'photoshop' options for entering my old serial number, rather than the adobe creative suite. How do I move past this so I can download it on my computer. I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop. From looking online, I read forums that said this was possible. Please advise

I don't want to upgrade to Adobe Creative Suite 6 - as I do not need all the programs, just photoshop.
Unfortunately that option is not possible.
You cannot upgrade a Creative Suite to a standalone product.
Creative Suites can only be upgrades to other Creative Suites.
You'll need to return Photoshop CS6 upgrade since you cannot use it.
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
Some options:
Buy a Creative Suite upgrade, or
Buy a full new copy of Photoshop CS6, or

OT: Adobe eLearning Suite 2.5 with my Production Premium Suite CS55

Hey gang,
I already have the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium suite but I realized I need Dreamweaver now. I also would like Captivate (not available in other suites) and it seems I can upgrade from my current to suite to a "Adobe eLearning Suite 2.5" for $399 that has both programs and sounds reasonable to me. That eLearning Suite has already a lot of the programs from my ProPro suite.   Will that cause any problems for installation when I buy it as a download or will it just know that I already have version of Photoshop, Acrobat X etc... already installed.   Sorry, if this sounds dumb but I don't know how these two suites would interact.
cheers,
Peter

Here's the answer to add to the knowledge base on this group.
I bought/downloaded the eLearning Suite 2.5 and I tried to install it.   Of course it first asked for the suite serial # that worked, but then it asked for a serial # of a valid upgrade product. One had to select a product from the list but the Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium was not in the list and my serial # from it did not work when entered with any other product.
When you go to click on the buy button for the eLearning Suite 2.5, it gives you option to upgrade with CS55 Pro Prem. Though in the "Buying guide : Upgrade eligibility tab", the suite is not mentioned.    http://www.adobe.com/products/elearningsuite/buying-guide-new.displayTab2.html
Strangely enough, I did buy Photoshop CS2 separately a long time ago and that serial # was recognized as the upgrade product during the installation process. I did not carry through with that installation because of these new impending "1 back" upgrade policies, so I phoned Adobe and they gave me a new serial # for the eLearning suite and I didn't require a secondary upgrade number. 8-)
During installation, it showed me a dialog box of things already installed (i.e. Photoshop, Audition).    Needless to say, everything is now installed and everything works like a charm.
The reason why I bought this suite is because I wanted Captivate and it is not in the Master Collection (I thought as an upgrade possibility) and I really need Dreamwaver as well.
cheers,
Peter
