After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6.  The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work.  When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

    When having a subscription to Adobe CC you also should have the application Adobe Creative Cloud in you App folder.  Use thi application to download and install Bridge CC again.

    Is it safe to remove Photoshop CS5 after installing CS6??

    It is safer to remove it before installing CS6.  There can be some shared elements and/or settings that might be compromised if you install CS6 while CS5 is installed and then remove CS5.

  • Freehand import of CS5 broken after installing CS6

    Hello,
    on my windows 7 machine my freehand import of Illustrator CS5 and CS4 is broken after installing cs6 creative cloud.
    I can still select a freehand file to open and the dialog box appears, but after choosing OK nothing happens. No file opens and no error appears. It doesn´t depend on the freehand file because my other machine with CS3 can still open these files.
    What can i do  to repair illustrator? - it´s part of a master collection install.
    Siegfried Baldauf

    Adobe has dropped support for Freehand import in CS6. You will have to either use an older version of AI and then save it to AI or open them in Freehand and then export to a format that AI can import.
    open the Open file Dialog and see the files that illustrator CS6 can open. Here is the list of supported files that AI CS6 can open

  • Can i uninstall CS5 now that I have installed CC?

    I have recently upgraded from CS5 to CC and was wondering if I can now uninstall CS5 to make space?

    Hi nickmossdesign.com,
    If you no longer wish to use CS5 any more then simply deactivate and then uninstall CS5 software and continue using CC.
    To deactivate launch any Adobe CS5 application/Go to help/ Select deactivate.

  • Once I upgrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows? [was: CS6]

    Once I ugrade CS5 to CS6 can I remove CS5 thru Add Remove programs in Windows or just delete them?

    never delete any installed program on a windows os, always uninstall.
    you can uninstall cs5 before or after you install cs6. or, you don't need to uninstall, at all.
    if you uninstall before installing cs6, you will be prompted for your cs5 serial number (in addition to your cs6 serial.  if you leave cs5 installed, you won't need the cs5 serial number to install your cs6 upgrade.

  • Windows NT does not boot after installing NI-CAN 1.6.0 or security update

    We are running Windows NT 4.0 SP 6 english with MS IE 5.5.
    On one machine we had NI-CAN 1.6.0 installed. After installing the security update from Microsoft over the web the machine did not boot.
    On another machine the security update was installed. After installing NI-CAN 1.6.0 the machine booted but hangs during logon. On this machine we installed Windows NT, MS IE 5.5 the security update and NI-CAN from new and the effect was the same.
    Does anyone else have similar experience with this problem?
    Machines with Windows 2000 and XP work well with NI-CAN 1.6.0.

    Hi,
    I haven't found any known issues. I going to try it out here. What's the security update you're installing?. I noticed there's a bunch of them in the Microsoft web site.
    What CAN hardware do you have (PCI, PCMCIA, etc)?.
    Let me know this details and I'll try to reproduce the problem.

  • With CS4 installed already, can I uninstall InDesignCS3 without affecting the CS4 suite?

    With CS4 installed already, can I uninstall InDesignCS3 without affecting the CS4 suite?
    InDesignCS3 was downloaded from the internet. CS4 suite was installed from CDs. Both are currently on my computer. How can I uninstall InDesignCS3?

    Just use the add/remove programs feature in the control panel, but I would strongly suggest that you don't do this. If you ever need to supply a CS3 file you'll be sorry you uninstalled it.

    Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

    Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time.  If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

    in app store some applications are of very small size like 15-20 Mb and after installing them they become more than 100 mb. how to determine their actual size???

    The app store size is probably just the software, while the size on your iPhone includes data.
    You can determine the size on your iPhone by looking at Settings > General > Usage.

  • Can't uninstall CS5 or CS6.

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem when I try to uninstall CS5 and CS6 suites on my iMac.
    I installed CS5 suite like six months ago, then, two weeks ago I installed CS6, but before I uninstalled some components from the CS5 suite. Just remains Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
    I installed CS6 and all good, then, I had some problems with Encore CS6 so I found a post that says that I should use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. I did use it, all good.
    Today I'm having a second problem with links between Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6, so I tought it could be because of Photoshop CS5 installed in the same Application folder. So I decided to uninstall that application, but, I can't.
    I can't uninstall any Adobe application from my iMac, I click on any 'Uninstall X application' and just appears this error: "The alias "UNINSTALL X ADOBE APPLICATION" can't be opened because the original item can't be found." The uninstaller just dissapeared for both Suites and I need to uninstall them.
    Can you help me community?
    Where can I get the Uninstaller for Adobe applications?
    Thanks.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall.
