Best upgrade option?

I have Elements 6 somewhere on one of my computers. I also have PaintShopPro (:)) which although I like it has started being really flakey lately. I'm considering getting CS5. I have a small studio and I have a college student working with me at the weekend.
Once upon a time you could upgrade from another package to photoshop I don't know if you still can.
or
Should I upgrade from Elements 6 to CS5?
or
Can I get an educational version because I have a photography college student with me?
What is my best/cheapest/legal upgrade option?

Unless it has been changed back, the "commercial use" aspect was removed from the educational versions (as there are now a couple of "educational" versions, I'd urge any user to check the EULA for their specific version), some time ago. I think that it was about CS, or maybe CS2?
That commercial use limitation was particularly difficult to enforce, and I would suspect that Adobe Legal just decided to eliminate that stipulation. However, what gets eliminated, could always be reinstated at some point, so it's always a good thing to check into, just like available upgrade paths.
Good luck to the OP,
Hunt

What is my best upgrade option?

I have been using AA 1.5 in Windows for some time now. Not too long ago (couple of months) I downloaded the Mac beta version, which is now about to expire.
What I'd like to do is upgrade my Windows version as well as buy the upgrade for the Mac. Do you suppose there is any way I can do BOTH for the $100 upgrade cost? Or if not that, could I use the upgrade option twice, that is pay $200 to upgrade the Windows version as well as get the new verison for Mac?
Since it is permitted to install a purchased verison on two computers, can that be extended to two platforms?
Thanks for any advice,
David

I'm not in the office right now, but as soon as I get back, I'll try to follow up and determine if an existing license is applicable to multiple upgrades. I suspect not, but I have no real knowledge of that. I do know that a single license only applies to a single platform, so you wouldn't be able to use the same serial number to activate a Windows and Mac installation.
I would recommend downloading the latest 30-day trial installations for each platform when your beta expires.

WCS/WLC upgrade options

Hi,
I'm currently running both a WCS appliance and a windows server WCS on version 4.2.62.11
They are managing around 1000 AP's that are in a Hospital environment. They are using Vocera badges.
The controllers are all running v4.2.61.0
What are my best upgrade options for both WCS and the controllers? I'm looking for stability, improvements and fixes.

We ran a pretty stable 4.0.217 for about a year with no big issues that I can remember. We started getting 1252s and needed to upgrade. We finally jumped in with 4.2.130 and had some pain. We started having issues with Vocera roaming, and Dell 1470/90 adapters had issues also. We've seen the following issues (CSCsm65043, CSCsi26248, CSCsi72578, CSCsq57697, CSCsu44970, CSCsr40109, CSCsv21441, and CSCsv21464). Some have been fixed in 4.2.173/176, but with the latest security advisory, it makes sense to run 4.2.176.
With 19 pages of open caveats in 4.2.176, it's a crap shoot for sure, but probably the best you can do as it's a MD release. Also we have depreciated the Spectralink and only run 7921 and Vocera.

I have 10.5.8 OS on a imac. What is my best upgrade OS option?

I have 10.5.8 on a iMac. What is my best upgrade OS option?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Solaris 10 upgrade from 9 - Upgrade option not presented

I have moved the system disk from a v880 to a v480 and successfully booted.
I've successfully tested the upgrade using pfinstall.
/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D /tmp/profile
I had the following text in /tmp/profile
install_type upgrade
root_device /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
This finished with:
Test run complete. Exit status 0.
I had to mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 to /a before running pfinstall otherwise the program would fail with Exit status 2.
Original slice layout is:
# df -h | grep c1t0
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 9.8G 4.2G 5.6G 43% /
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s3 9.8G 3.7G 6.1G 38% /usr

/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s6 20G 2.0G 18G 11% /export/home
Because of http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4041/6nfhjnlao?l=Ja&a=view
I moved var from slice 3 to / on slice 0
I also removed "swap" entries in vfstab, and even removed the second disk in the system (which didn't have an OS)
ok> boot cdrom - nowin
this results with no upgrade option presented
Can someone tell me what I can do? I don't have experience with Jumpstart or Live upgrade
Thanks

Hi,
Yes and no.
11gR1 and 11gR2 are fully supported (premier support). 10gR1 and 10gR2 are in extended support. About 9.2 it's a bit more complicated and the general extended support ended : check note 161818.1 for further details.
After the extended support there is still the sustaining support.
Read that to understand the notions :

Macbook Pro (early 2011) memory upgrade options

What are my memory upgrade options with a Macbook Pro (early 2011, 2.2 GHx Intel Core i7), currently with 4 GB of memory (2 GB X 2) of 1333 MHz DDR3 (PC3-10600S)? My manual says I'm limited to 4 GB x 2 = 8 GB of memory. Does that mean that the 8 GB X 2 = 16 GB option that's available will not work in my Macbook Pro?

MacBook Pro 15 inch Early 2011
You can install 16GB (2 x 8GB modules) in a MacBook Pro 15-inch Early 2011 model.
Apple tested with only 8GB (2 x 4GB modules).

Windows 7 upgrade option update (Microsoft and Lenovo

All:
Edit: Lenovo link added
http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/windows7/index.html?ipromoID=wnb00492&
Here's the information from Microsoft about the update program. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon from .... hardware vendors
Announcing the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program & Windows 7 Pricing – Bring on GA!
http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/25/announcing-the-windows-7-upgrade-option...
As Brad discussed in the video, today we’re announcing details for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, pricing, and a special pre-order offer for select markets.
But first, I want to talk a little bit more about GA and the worldwide availability of Windows 7. We’ve really focused a lot of our efforts on getting the product out to as many people around the world as quickly as possible. OEMs will start shipping PCs with Windows 7 in all language versions beginning on GA, October 22nd.
And for our retail software, we’ve made significant strides in terms of timing. Gone are the days when it could take months for all language versions to be available. In fact – we’ve narrowed the gap to just over ONE week!
On October 22nd, Windows 7 will be available in the following 14 languages: English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Chinese (Hong Kong).
Then on October 31st, the remaining 21 languages will become available: Turkish, Czech, Portuguese, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Greek, Ukrainian, Romanian, Arabic, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Estonian, Slovenian, Hebrew, Thai, Croatian, Serbian Latin, and Latvian.
Windows 7 truly is a global release and I’m excited to be able to tell my international friends that when I say Windows 7 will be available for the holidays – I mean everywhere in the world.
But, you don’t have to wait until GA to get a new Windows PC. In fact, we know many people need that new PC sooner – for back to school specifically. And we have the answer for people who need a new PC now but still want to get Windows 7 and that’s the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, which kicks off tomorrow, June 26th! Anyone who buys a PC from a participating OEM or retailer with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate on it will all receive an upgrade to the corresponding version of Windows 7 at little or no cost to customers. The Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program will be available until January 31st, 2010 – and is global! For more information on taking advantage of the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, visit www.windows.com/upgradeoffer.
Another one of the most common questions I get is: how much will Windows 7 cost? Well, today we’re sharing these details.
For Windows 7, we are reducing the price on our most popular retail product for customers, the Home Premium Upgrade, by approximately 10% (depending on the market). In the U.S., this means a customer buying Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade will pay only $119.99 instead of the $129.99 being charged today for its predecessor.
Overall, customers will be paying less and getting more with Windows 7. This includes fun new features such as HomeGroup, Device Stage, Aero Shake, Snap, Peek, Jump Lists and our completely redesigned Windows Taskbar (one of my favorite new features in Windows 7 today). These new features make your PC simpler and much easier to use.
So here’s the low-down on pricing for Windows 7. The estimated retail prices for upgrade packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99
And the estimated retail prices for full packaged retail product of Windows 7 in the U.S. are:
Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99
This means that Windows 7 Home Premium full retail product is $40.00 less than Windows Vista Home Premium today.
As Brad describes in the video, for Europe, we will not have a separate upgrade SKU for the packaged retail product versions of Windows 7 at GA. But we will be offering upgrade pricing on our full licenses to make sure that European customers who want to upgrade have the pricing options available in the rest of the world.
Finally, as a way of saying thank you to our loyal Windows customers, we are excited to introduce a special time limited offer! We will offer people in select markets the opportunity to pre-order Windows 7 at a more than 50% discount. In the US, this will mean you can pre-order Windows 7 Home Premium for USD $49.99 or Windows 7 Professional for USD $99.99. You can take advantage of this special offer online via select retail partners such as Best Buy or Amazon, or the online Microsoft Store (in participating markets).
This program begins tomorrow in the U.S., Canada and Japan. The offer ends July 11th in the U.S. and Canada and on July 5th for Japan or while supplies last. Customers in the UK, France and Germany, can pre-order their copy of Windows 7 starting July 15th and will run until August 14th (or supplies last) to ensure folks don’t miss out on this. Act fast if you want to be the first in line to get Windows 7 at this screaming deal! Note: The special low pre-order price will vary per country.
For more information on this special pre-order offer,
I am really excited to be sharing these Windows 7 announcements with you today. Because of the great feedback we received from you, we are confident we are poised to deliver a great product this fall!

Having purchased my Thinkpad T500 two weeks ago, I'll be a little miffed if I am not eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 7. However, my pain will be eased a little by the TechNetPlus subscription that will allow me to download and install the RTM bits sometime in mid-to-late July.
I really do think Microsoft continues to miss the boat on their retail OS and Office pricing. Keep Windows between $50 and $100, and Office $75 to $150 and you're going to have loads of people buying instead of seeking out ways to not pay for it.

Which upgrade option from Panther to Tiger?

Okay, tomorrow is the big day; I'm going to upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4.3. I recently had some issues with my iBook, but they were resolved and turned out to be hardware related. As part of my troubleshooting for that, though, I did an erase and install of Panther, so my OS is pretty "new", in terms of how long it's been on the drive.
I've checked on a firmware update for my external drive (used for backup), I've backed up my main drive and run MacJanitor, I'll be repairing the disk and permissions from the Panther installation disk tomorrow before doing the upgrade (and again afterwards). Oh, and I'll be disconnecting all peripherals before starting the process.
My question is, should I do an Archive and Install, or would just the Upgrade option be safe for me? Any opinions?
Thanks for any replies.

My personal choice is the simple upgrade option. That preserves all of your custom settings and keeps everything in place. The A&I option is second best because some stuff moved to the Previous System folder has to be manually moved back. A disconcerting manual process. The E&I option requires reinstalling all 3rd-party items and resetting all of your preferences.

What is the best upgrade from 10.5.8 leopard.

i just bought a used macbook pro with 2.4GHz core 2 duo and 2 gb memory. what would be the best upgrade to OS. is that enough to run Mountain Lion?
my wife has a new macbook with mountain lion and i prefer alot of the way it looks compared to leopard.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

If apple bring out a new ipad after i purchase, is there an upgrade option available?

if i was to buy an ipad 2 today and in a months time the ipad 3 came out, would apple provide an upgrade option to upgrade to the new one??

They have never done so in the past, and I doubt that they would in the future. All that you've been able to do with Apple is return it for a full refund if it was within the returns timescale, and then buy a new one instead

Missing the visual upgrade option on SP 2010 site

I have a series of content databases that were upgraded from MOSS 2007. Most have not yet undergone the visual upgrade.
Today, I have been working on copying two of those sites to a new location.
I created two new team sites. These of course already had the visual upgrade.
I did an export-spweb of the two old sites. I then did an import-spweb of the two old sites into the new sites that I created.
The result is the two old style GUI in the new location.
When I took a look at the site settings (as a farm admin) I do not see an option to perform the visual upgrade on the sites.
I know that there are powershell commands that I can execute when the time is right.
I don't understand, however, where the visual upgrade option went.
Hmm - I just went back to the original sites that were copied and they too do not have the visual upgrade option in the site settings.
The top level site does, however, have that option.
Odd...

But export-spsite won't help.
1. These sites were being copied from one part of a site collection tree to another branch in the same site collection.
2. As I mentioned at the end of my posting, it turns out that the original sites had also lost their visual upgrade menu item - how, I do not know.
Because of these two factors - and maybe others - I was hoping there was a "simple fix" for this. But if there is not, then I just have to live wtih that.

Hey, I have an unopened iPad mini that I won at work and I'm wondering if there's an upgrade option where I can exchange this for an iPad mini with retina display? Thanks

Take it to an Apple store and ask. All they can do is say no. They may ask for a purchase receipt to make sure it's not stolen.

Why is it that the new macbook pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned to go much faster anyway?

Why is it that the new Macbook Pro processor upgrade option only offers up to 2.8 Ghz boosting to 3.3 Ghz with Intel Dual Core i7, when back in Sep 12 I bought a 2.9 Ghz boosting to 3.6 Ghz Intel Dual Core i7 Macbook, is the new one tuned somehow to go much faster anyway, or will the new one be slower in fact? Or does the solid state drive compensate for the lack of increased processor capacity?

The CPU's come from different Intel 'families'. The older ones are 'Ivy Bridge' and the newer ones are 'Haswell'. Numbers alone will not determine the efficiency of CPU.

What are best output options in DVDSP for playback on VGA Computer Screen?

I understand that DVDs were designed to be viewed on TV sets - not computer monitors with much higher resolution than a TV set.
However .... I'm curious what the best output options are within DVDSP3 for playback on a standard 19" VGA computer screen 1024x768 and not necessarily on a TV screen. Any ideas?
Will DVDSP3 address playback on a standard VGA computer screen any better than iDVD6? .... or are they both very much the same?
Here's my objective:
MiniDV>FCP HD >DVD SP3>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only (no TV involved).
or...
MiniDV>iMovie6>iDVD6>DVD-R / Playback on VGA 19" Monitor only.
TIA

George - I'm not a web designer, so I'm probably not the best person to respond but here goes anyway (FWIW):
(anywhere from 10sec to 2min) for website visitors to play (but not download). There can be multiple audios per web page.
No problem. QuickTime. X-platform and you can set whether it's downloadable or not - but that's really moot, as anything on the web can be captured, especially with the 'analog loophole' such as WireTap or Audio Hi Jack.
I need a combination of buttons from very simple round (or square 20x20 pix) to a bar style with volume control, both with the option to change the color to fit my site.
Buttons are your business - nothing to do with playback functionality. They are usually just a link to a file - your site should be set up to play anything, by anything, that's clicked on… Flash, QT whatever
a player that runs from my site and not somebody else's.
So you're hosting? I'd hate to go down that path… what if your site takes off? What if it goes down?You'd never handle the bandwidth. IMO better to buy inexpensive (but competent) hosting for $10 or so per month and avoid the headaches, and expand the hosting service as and when required.
See here for example:
http://soundpropaganda.com/blog/loudness.html
I have QT files, not downloadable (well, supposedly) from text links (check the green "Here's" links). The link method (graphic, text, whatever) is your design, not part of the playback system.

Any "discounted upgrade" option for new Acrobat 9 buyers when X is released?

I'm looking at buying Acrobat and as of right now, I notice that Adobe's website is only promoting the pre-ordering of version X (I can't even find an option to buy version 9 on here but can find it on Amazon and stuff).
I need to purchase a version of the software ASAP, but I'm just wondering: If I were to buy 9 now (right before release of X) is Adobe going to have an upgrade option that will allow me to upgrade to X without having to pay full price for the software? I'm looking at getting the highest level option (the $800 one).
Hopefully I posted this in the right section of the forum...
Thanks.

Thank you, George.
So, in other words, that means if I buy now through Amazon, I won't get the upgrade option (since it's a 3rd part site), despite the new release announcement, correct?
Is there a link anywhere on Adobe to buy version 9 now so I do qualify for the X upgrade? I can't seem to find one...

Best upgrade option?
