Bought an upgrade... not my version?

Hi again folks,
I posted about a week ago about getting a new iMac and learned I needed to upgrade from my OLD AE 7.0 professional to the current version.  I decided I may as well upgrade to the entire CS5 Production Premium.  Upon upgrading, it asked what product I was currently running and I told it AE 7.0 pro and ordered the upgrade.
When the box came in today I noticed it says:
"To install this upgrade version of Adobe Creative Suite $ Production Premium, you must have one of the following:
After Effects CS5, CS4, CS3, or CS2
It doesn't say anything about EA 7.0 so I was worried about opening  the box and installing.  Will it be able to upgrade me all the way from 7.0?   Or are all these upgrades complete versions that don't really "build on" a pre-existing version and the "upgrade" tag simply refers to a price difference?
Thanks in advance.
Lynn

Hi Lynn,
Yes, you'll be able to install your CS5 Production Premium as an upgrade from After Effects 7.0.
There never was a product labeled "Adobe After Effects CS2", but After Effects 7.0 was the equivalent version.  (The video products weren't aligned with the rest of the Creative Suite until CS3.)  That the documentation refers to such a thing is an oversight.  Sorry about the confusion.
When you install the CS5 upgrade, you don't need to install After Effects 7.0 beforehand.  The "upgrade" installer is the same as the regular installer, but you will need to provide your After Effects 7.0 serial number as proof of your upgrade eligibility.

  • Want to upgrade to lastest version - help/about Firefox window does not show "upgrade" as in instructions.

    I want to upgrade to latest version but -Help/About Firefox- window does not show "upgrade" as in the instructions. I cannot find an "upgrade" function anywhere else. How do I upgrade? The version I have is -18.0.1- it came with this used computer.
    I believe this computer was hacked. Word started doing very strange things. We wiped the hard drive and reloaded everything as it was originally when I bought it. I am now getting hacked online.
    They originally got into one of my credit cards last fall. That is when this all started. They got my AOL email address. They also got the credit card current balance, minimum payment, due date and then even the payment amount. They got into my Barnes & Noble account and now checkout does not work. Now I believe they have gotten into my AOL account - one thing after another has started going wrong. I cannot change that AOL user id/email address since it is the master and I would lose about 15 years of "stuff".
    The folks that sold me this computer told me to use a free version of an antivirus. I am very unhappy with it. I never had ANY trouble when I used TrendMicro's expense products. Those folks also told me to use Firefox, since AOL uses Internet Explorer - which I already knew is like Swiss cheese.
    Now, I cannot seem to get an upgrade of Firefox. Is this also a hack?
    Please help any way you can. Thank you for your time.

    It's probably just the Firefox updater having some problems. go to www.getfirefox.com and download Firefox 20.0.1

  • Bought Lightroom upgrade version in error. Thought I was buying the full version. [was: Adobe took 80 bucks from me. I need it back.]

    So, I dowloaded to the free trial of lightroom. After I used it for 30 days, I then Clicked the 'buy' button followed the steps, payed for the product, claimed the serial number, plugged in the number for the product, and then it presents me  with a screen that says i only bought the upgrade and I need my original serial number. Why did it do this. I just paid for and upgrade to a product I never had. And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade. I followed the steps and they practically took 85 bucks from me. How do I fix this? and why did they do this too

    And the website never told me that I was buying an upgrade.
    It probably did but it was not made clear enough to you.
    The default buying option on most screens (exact screens vary) is the Upgrade version. Unfortunately this subtlety catches many newbies out.
    Return the upgrade and buy the full version Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

  • I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    I have a license for Creative Suite CS3 and bought an upgrade for CS5 a few years later. Would the original serial number for CS3 be the same for my CS5 version?

    No... if you do not have CS3 installed, you will enter your CS3 serial number when asked for proof of a qualifying product... and then you will enter your different CS5 serial number... every version, new or upgrade, has a unique serial number

  • I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    I have aperture 3.4.4, which does not work with Yosemite. Is there a way to upgrade my Aperture version, or do I have to buy Aperture again?

    If you own any version of Aperture 3, you are entitled to a free update. Only it can be tricky, if your version is not associated with your AppleID, because you bought it with a serial number.
    Have you checked, if you can see an update at the App Store Updates page? Or an "Accept" button on the Purchases tab of the app Store?
    Contact the AppStore Support and request a redeem code, to be able to buy the update for free. You will need to provide a proof op purchase of Aperture.
    Use this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/
    Apple sent redeem codes for Aperture 3.6 to several users who had bought the version on disks, if they could provide a serial number.  See for example this discussion: (The post marked as the solution)
    Re: Aperture update not possible after update to Yosemite
    It is really unfortunate you missed the window of opportunity with Mavericks MacOS X 10.9.5, when the update was easy.

  • I accidentally bought an upgrade version of Photoshop

    I accidentally bought an upgrade version of Photoshop CS5, but I don't own Photoshop.
    Is there anything I can do to convert it into a full version?
    Do I have any options?  I have looked all over and can't believe no one has asked this question yet...

    Thank you. I thought I read that if I don't have an older version installed I would need to enter my serial key for the earlier version. Is this not the case?
    And thanks for the warning. I had considered that risk, but the person I purchased from had a good rep on Ebay and I paid with Paypal so I figured I could easily dispute the purchase if it was fake.

    the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
    The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
    When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
    As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
    When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
    Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but  he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

    Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
    My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
    I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
    Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

    You need iTunes 10.7 or later.

  • Upgraded to newest version of Firefox all the links were broken, it will not open in Safe Mode or anywhere else-before I uninstall it I'd like to access save my user names and and passwords from websites- can i access them without opening the browser

    i can not launch browser toget version info or anything else, when it upgraded to newest version it stopped working-i've tried launching in Safe Mode and have tried all icons

    You can save a copy of your passwords file, but I don't think you can open it without Firefox.
    Your passwords file is in your profile folder. You might want to make a backup copy of the whole folder. Info on locating the folder: [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles Profiles | How to | Firefox Help].
    You may want to try reinstalling Firefox 3.6. You can download the installer from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

  • IPod Touch not recognized since upgrading iTunes to version 11.1.4

    After upgrading from iTunes version 11.1.3.64 to version 11.1.4.64, my iPod Touch will no longer be recognized in iTunes (but is recognized by my computer - can view drive). I've restarted the Apple Mobile Device Service and the iPod Service with no luck. I've also tried a system restore but the restore point was not early enough (was post iTunes upgrade). How do I revert back to the previous version of iTunes? I have Windows 8. Thanks.

    Hey BobDLT,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. The following article outlines some great troubleshooting steps for this issue.

      Just upgraded iTunes to version 11.0.2.26...... now have no music or apps..... they are still in the iTunes library on the pc, just not in the iTunes interface.... ideas anyone..?

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    Note with iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show all your purchases with cloud icons that allow them to be streamed or downloaded from Apple's servers.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    If, for some inexplicable reason, the media has been removed from your computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Provider not compatible version of Oracle client after upgrade 4.112.1.2

    I had an ASP.NET 3.5 website running
    on intranet small business server as production with:
    OS Win2008 Standard 32-bit
    Oracle Database 11g107 32-bit
    Oracle DataAccess 2.111.60 32-bit
    On a development laptop,
    I upgraded the website to ASP.NET 4.0.
    The development laptop had
    OS Windows 7 32-bit
    VS 2010
    Oracle Database 11g201 32-bit
    Oracle DataAccess 4.112.12
    Application was running without errors.
    On the production server,
    I uninstalled Oracle Database 11g107,
    to include removing Oracle home and install folders,
    and in HKLM > Software > Oracle registry folder.
    I installed Oracle Database 11g201
    and installed the ODP.NET upgrade to 4.112.12.
    (except for VS components).
    In the website web.config,
    I changed the referenced assembly to:
    <assemblies>
         <add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342" />
    I changed IIS70 Application pool advanced settings to ASP.NET 4.0,
    restarting application pool and website.
    Rebooted system.
    On starting the application when it accesses the Oracle connection,
    I get the dreaded: Provider not compatible.
    Exception Details: Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: The provider is not compatible with the version of Oracle client
    Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.
    Stack Trace:

    Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleInit.Initialize() +433
    Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection..cctor() +844
    It is not the VB.NET Oracle connection code,
    as it runs fine on the development laptop.
    So I look into the GAC.
    GACUTIL /l shows 2.111.60 is still in the .NET

    Is there a command I need to run to remove the old 111.6.0 Oracle client references from GAC?
    Eventhough Oracle ODP.NET installer put a policy to refer the older version to the new?

    There is:
    Oracle.DataAccess 2.112.1.2
    Oracle.Database.Extensions 2.112.1.2

    there are no other versions of ODAC hanging around,

    The application works fine in development laptop.
    The application works fine on production server when I use SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT.
    But we need to migrate away from SYSTEM.DATA.ORACLECLIENT according to Microsoft,
    and I am sure Oracle would rather have me use Oracle.DataAccess client anyway.
    ++++++
    I even tried a trick from another post to move what appears to be Oracle Instant Client components,
    oci.dll, et al, from an installation into a new home of the Oracle 11g201 Cllent 32 along with Oracle.DataAccess.dll into the website BIN folder
    and set references for Oracle.DataAccess.dll to LOCAL TRUE.

    So I remain stuck.
