Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6 issue

Hi there,
I have just upgraded my Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS6 but when I enter my serial number for my current version of Photoshop, I get an error message saying my serial number is incorrect.  Am I doing something wrong?  Appreciate any help at all.

Wow, I hadn't realized Adobe was going to keep the upgrade offer from Photoshop CS5 12.x to CS6 13.0 open after Photoshop CC 14.0 was released.

  • Can Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade be used on 2 computers or just 1?

    You can have it installed on 2 machines but you can use only one at a time (laptop/desktop, home/work).

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working [Issue]

    Hello everyone! I recently just purchased Adobe CS5 as being very excited as I've been a customer before the CS series! Anyways, the install and registration with Adobe was no problem what so ever, I got to uninstall CS4 quite easily, it all worked. So, I've read the other topic of "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working" and this is not my problem! However, once I'm in CS5. I do a couple things, zoom in Navigation, enter some text, move a couple layers and it tells me it has stopped working. This is happening very often every so 1-3 minutes, so I've been living with it for about 2 days (IT has FINALLY passed the line, where I rip my hair out! Hehe, ). So now I'm deciding I post the problem!
    Computer Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x86
    Intel Pentium Dual Core 3.20GHz (OC)
    ATi Radeon HD 4670
    3GB DDR2

    After work.. I will be upgrading video card drivers to see if this makes a difference, only solution related to my topic in Adobe FAQs.

  • How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

    I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7.  On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed.  Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine.  Now with Lion I am unable to do that.  I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5.  So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion?  Or is there a workaround?
    I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer.  Short of that is there any other workaround?  If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
    On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore?  Has Apple totally lost its mind?  And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity?  Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number?  Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
    This is American corporatism at its finest.  You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system.  If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business. 
    There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software.  Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users.  But apparently we are stupid right?  We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot.  And thats because on a whim it all changes.

    Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number.  Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
    In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop.  For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

  • Upgrading Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6

    My base full version is CS4. Bought CS5 upgrade in 2013 and would like to upgrade to CS6.
    Is this possible?
    Could be that only the full version of CS5 (i.e. being the 'base'-version) can be upgraded..?
    Can't find any info on that.
    Thanks

    CS4 and CS5 are both registered versions…
    Well those trial versions only last for 30 days.  They are totally irrelevant to this discussion.  They would have done you absolutely no good for anything.
    As I wrote above:
    ALL Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS.  They do not need to find a previous version installed at all.  If they don't, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number of the qualifying version and the new one.
    Your prior versions remain untouched, totally ignored when you install the upgrade.

  • RAM Problem: Adobe Photoshop CS5 vs. CS6

    Hello,
    I have a PSD with the size of 344 MB.
    When I open it with Photoshop CS5, it take 1,38 GB from the RAM.
    When I do the same with Photoshop CS6, it take 5,26 GB from the RAM.
    Then CS6 works very slowly and I can forget to do anything with it.
    I have a notebook with this technical data:
    Intel Core i7 2Ghz
    8 GB Ram
    AMD Radeon HD 6850M 4GB
    1000 GB HDD
    The settings for performance of both Photoshop are the same.
    Where is the problem?
    Greetings

    Doc size in Windows is 344 Mb.
    And this are the informations in the left corner.

  • Where can I download adobe photoshop cs5 instead of cs6

    I downloaded the trial of photoshop cs6, and it doesn't work, so i want cs5 again. anyone knows where I can get cs5?

    If CS6 does not work why would you think CS5 would?
    Adobe does not sell CS5 any longer.  May be able to buy from various venders.  Be careful of counterfeit copies.

  • How much is an update from Adobe Photoshop CS5 for PC to Adobe Photoshop CS6 for Mac?

    I have had Adobe Photoshop CS5 on my PC for less than a year.  Since the software will not transfer to my Mac, how much would it be to update to CS6 for Macs?

    The upgrade price is the same, you just need to order the correct cross-platform upgrade.

    This answer may be somewhat late, but just in case other have the same issues, I went to site listed below and it solved the problem.  No need to reinstall CS5 product.  I hope this works for you.

    I am upgrading form Adobe Premiere CS5.5 to CS6 but its says a qualifying product could not be found

    Did you first enter your Creative Suite 6 serial number followed by your Creative Suite 5.5 serial number for Adobe Premiere?  Is Adobe Premiere CS5.5 a upgrade version as well?  If so what did you upgrade from?

    Are there any known issues with Adobe Photoshop CS5 and OS X Yosemite 10.10? I heard I would need an older Java version to start it.

    You'll need to reinstall Photoshop CS5 after installing the MacOS 10.10 update -- for some reason the OS updater stomps on some of the Photoshop files.
