Adobe stops upgrades for CS2, 3 & 4 Users

Adobe’s recent announcement of structural price changes will mean that only CS5 and 5.5 customers will be permitted to upgrade when CS6 launches, unless they take action before 31 December 2011.
Click here to read the announcement. Whilst it will only affect a few users to this forum, the combination of Lightroom and PSE10 suddenly becomes more attractive. However this decision has caused a good deal of controversy, especially among 70,000 NAPP members, such that Scott Kelby has published an open letter on his Photoshop Insider blog.
I picked up this information by chance over at Elements Village where Wendy, one of the regulars says: I just worked out ... skip 3 versions, buy the full version and its not much difference in price. Guess that will be the new way forward !!

An update to my earlier posting. Good news for all those Elements users who also have CS3 & CS4 Adobe has taken on board the groundswell of user opinion and extended the upgrade path to 31st December.

OS 4.5 Upgrade for 8703e CDMA Users in the Cards? Possibly? Hopefully?

Does anyone know where I can download the latest OS 4.5 device software for my 8703e (CDMA) device from -ANY- carrier?
I'm seeing all of these announcements of CDMA builds for OS 4.5 spanning all of the 8100s, 8300s, and even the 8700
device, but absolutely -nothing- about the 8703e CDMA device. Does RIM have any plans to support this device on OS 4.5?
Any information is greatly appreciated -- even if the answer is 'tough luck it won't be supported for this device'.
That's more information I can get from my carrier about it, anyway. :^)
Thanks so much!!

Adobe CS5.5 For Mac - Multiple Users

Hi. I am currently a second year media student at uni (England). I have been thinking about getting the CS5.5 production premium package as it includes everything specific for my uses. I was just wondering if I got it, would it be able to be installed on two different macs? (a macbook pro and an Imac desktop if that helps at all). any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Yes, you can install on two computers. You're not supposed to be working on it on more than one at a time, according to the license agreement. I you need to install on more than two, you should deactivate one copy first.

ADOBE PROJECT ROME for scientific use?

Dear developer,
Dear ADOBE,
the official website of ADOBE PROJECT ROME released the following status:
November 30, 2010
[...] The trial of Project ROME for Education has concluded. However, the commercial version of Project ROME will remain free to the public via Adobe Labs. No additional Project ROME software updates are planned at this time.
source: http://rome.adobe.com/index.html (October 23, 2011)
May I use the software ADOBE PROJECT ROME for scientific use? I am planning to create mathematical assistance content just like material which is used in real repetitional lessons. I would like to publish the material, which was created by the software via my homepage.
I am looking forward to hear from you!
Best regards
SpWheel

im not adobe, nor am i a developer which works for adobe...
But it seems to me that the quote u made is also the answer to your question..
The commercial version will remain free..
commercial usually means u can use it either way, privately or commercially.
Besides, why shouldnt u make use of it?
This program is great, and i really do not understand why Adobe stopped support for it.

Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together. Thanks

Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version). The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely. In either cases, what costs are associated.
Thanks,
Raj

LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5. If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number. I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse. Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
On my system it seems to work great.

Upgrade from CS2 to CS3? (for Windows XP)

Hi, guys. I'm new here. And I only signed up for the forums so I could ask someone for help!! Haha! So, here goes......
I recently started using Adobe CS2.
I signed up for the 30 day trial of RadLab by Totally Rad. It worked fine, but my trial expired before I could finish the photos I had been editing. So I uninstalled the RadLab trial, signed up for a new trial with a different e-mail address, and re-installed it. Only, this time, RadLab wouldn't work. So I contacted Totally Rad and the guy told me that RadLab won't work on CS2. It has to be CS3 or higher. (I'm still confused as to how RadLab worked for 30 days on my CS2 if it supposedly only works on CS3 or higher)...
So, now, I am looking to upgrade from CS2 to CS3... but I don't know where to look. I tried Google, but nothing seems to match what I'm looking for. I would hate to upgrade all the way up to CS5, because I don't think my PC could handle it. (I've been told that CS5 takes up a lot of room, and I don't think my computer is strong enough to hold it all. My memory capabilities are very limited. Even with CS2, I couldn't open/edit much all at once.)
I say all that, to ask this...
How do I go about upgrading from CS2 to CS3, and it not cost me an arm and a leg? I'm on a super-tight budget ($150 is the absolute highest I'm willing to go). I'm unemployed and money is extremely tight.
Thank you in advance for your help!!

I don't want to burst your bubble about using Photoshop CS3, but I would expect any software with good trialware security to not work twice on the same system no matter whether you sign up with a different eMail address. They'd be stupid not to have it work that way.
If you need the software to get your project done, why not actually buy it?
You're no doubt expecting to derive value from your project... Shouldn't the people who worked to create the software you're using derive some value from their work as well?
I can appreciate your being on a budget, but the old saying "if you want to play you have to pay" comes to mind. I'm sorry to be blunt.

After Mavericks upgrade Macbook wifi stops searching for networks

Ok here's the problem.
Upgraded from Mtn Lion to Mavericks.
I have 2 user accounts. One for personal and one for work.
Boot up - all is fine.   Switch from one user to the other the first time - all is fine.
But once I switch back to either user the problem appears.
What happens is that the computer stops searching for wifi networks. If I click on the wifi indicator the only one shown will be the one that I'm connected to. I am unable to select another network. (there are several others in range but not shown) The search indicator does not show up. If I click on Join another network and then on "select network" the dropdown box is empty and does not populate.
If I log out and log back in then the wifi will search and show the networks again (on that user account) If I swtich back to the other I would also need to log out and back in.   Logging in and out only resets the search function of the active user.
Bottom line is once I switch from either user to the other AND THEN BACK TO THE ORIGINAL both users will no longer have wifi search function until you log out and back in on either user.
I've reset SMC and PRAM. I've reinstalled Mavericks
I've contacted Apple for support and we've set up a new partition on the drive - installed Mavericks into that so it was like a brand new computer. I then created 2 users on that account and STILL have the same issue when I switch between accounts (users)
The Apple tech seems to think that we've eliminated software problems so it must be interference from nearby networks causing this. It seems odd that this happened imediatley after the switch to mavericks.   I am going to take my computer for a ride today and bring my MiFi along and see what happens.
Anyone having this issue?   Any thoughts?

Does Adobe always allow for cross Suite upgrades?

does Adobe always allow for cross Suite upgrades? for example production to design,etc?
With 5.5 out and a likely CS6 coming in October, I'm trying to plan an upgrade path.
thanks

Hi Bob
I was simply looking at history:
CS October 03
CS2 April 05
CS3 April 07
CS4 Oct 08
CS 5 April 10
they apparently like April and October (must be an accounting, wall street thing)
but I might be off by a year based upon the dates above, especially since 5.5 was just released.

Perpetual license upgrades in the future for Audition CS6 users?

I notice that Adobe is now offering Photoshop CS6 users perpetual license upgrades withjout having to join the CC perpetual rental program.
I wonder if Adobe will eventually do the same for us Audition CC6 users.
Ray Edwards

Unfortunately on re-reading I found the announcement read "update" (bug fixes), not upgrades. I guess I read what I wanted to see.

Adobe CS3 Upgrade - Can I Deactivate/Uninstall CS2?

Hi all,
A handful of months back, our company purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium upgrade package to replace our Adobe Creative Suite 2 package. What I am wondering is whether it is necessary for CS2 to remain activated and installed on my system in order to run CS3 programs, or if I may go ahead and deactivate/uninstall it. Again, this was an upgrade package, not the standalone version.
Also, if it IS possible to deactivate/uninstall CS2 and continue running CS3, can another person within our organization install CS2 then, or would this cause conflict with the copy of CS3 I am running...?
Thanks so much, in advance.
--Daniel

You can do what you want but if you have even the slightest thought that
you'll need the older version leave it.
In any event, your CS2 copy is tied to the CS3 since it was used to
upgrade it. You can not transfer or install it on a different machine.

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Edit

Having installed an upgrade for Photoshop Elements 13, I cannot open the application. I get an error message saying "Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X".
I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but get the same error message.

Which version of OS X do you have? It's not clear from your post whether "installed an upgrade" means you just installed PSE 13 as an upgrade or you installed an update to PSE 13, like ACR 9 or 13.1. Please clarify.

Firefox 4 appears to be causing my graphics card to stop responding for no reason, since upgrading to 4.0.

I'm not sure if its a common occurance for other users, but since the 'hardware accelerated support' with Firefox 4 release, firefox seems to regularly cause my graphics card (Nvidea GT320M) on my laptop to 'stop responding' for a few seconds every so often, usually when I have flash websites such as youtube open. It isn't a huge deal since it restarts working again after a few seconds of a black screen, but its annoying non-the-less.
An example of such: earlier today i started up firefox 4, and when it was loading the tabs, the screen turned black, and when the screen came back on, pop up in the windows task bar told me that the graphics card had stoped responding but successfully recovered. Not the first time, but becoming a more regular occurrence.

You seem to be running older versions of Flash and Java plugins. I'd recommend you update to the latest versions first of all to see whether the problem persists or not.
The easiest way to check is to go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page.
If that fails to solve the problem, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
