Can I install the CS4 upgrade WITHOUT CS3?

I have CS3, and am doing a brand new install of Leopard on a separate internal drive. I'm REALLY trying to simplify my system... is there any way to install CS4 without having to install, and then "upgrade" to CS4?
Obviously, the CS4 disks have the whole programs, and aren't just "patching" the CS3 programs.
I have my CS3 Design Premium box and serial numbers, as well as the CS4 Design Premium box and serial numbers... is there a way to do this?
tx,

Thanks a bunch! ...I know that was an easy one, but I really didn't want to try that, and somehow get "stuck" with some pieces of files and programs. So I had to ask the dreaded "stupid question".

  • Install CS4 upgrade without CS3 installed?

    Hello,
    I'm moving all my production software from XP pro SP3 to a new Vista Untimate SP1 machine. Nothing is installed on the Vista yet, I just received my CS4 production prem upgrade suite, can I just install CS4 on the Vista machine without installing CS3 first since this is an upgrade version?
    thanks.

    I have installed the cs4 upgrade but it requested for my cs3 serial #. Now I don't know if the cs3 is still useful or I can' t install it on another coputer again . Or will I still need it in the future parhaps my coputer crached and I want to reinstall all the soft ware. Will I need cs3 again before I can install cs4 upgrade.
    Thanks, Emma

  • I have a CC subscription for Lightroom and purchased the upgrade for my standalone Ver. 5 to Ver. 6, but I can't install the standalone upgrade. Anyone have any idea how to do it?

    Your initial post indicated that you had a CC subscription. That seems to imply that you have subscribed. If you hadn't already purchased Lightroom 6 I would suggest that you wait until you decide about CC. You really don't need both because the Lightroom program is precisely the same except for Lightroom 6 without the creative cloud has no Lightroom mobile capabilities. But I was only trying to help.

  • Can I install the LR4 upgrade and still keep my LR3 installed?

    I have LR 3 and I would like to upgrade to LR 4. Can I install the upgrade to LR 4 and still keep my LR 3 installation intact so that I can switch back and forth between the two versions if I want to?

    Agreeing with R Owens, and adding ...
    If you go back and forth between LR3 and LR4, neither program will know about the changes you make in the other program. This could lead to confusion either on the part of the software or on the part of the user.
    If you just want to edit using the LR3 interface, you can do that in LR4 by changing the process version to 2010 (that's what the LR3 interface is called) in the develop module.

  • Disk failed, got a new one. How can I install the Windows 8 without paying?

    So I got this product and after a year and a half disk had errors and had to replace it. Now I'm struggling to install windows 8 again! how can I do it without buying Windows 8?
    This question was solved.

    In all probability you installed the wrong version of Windows that matches the key that was originally installed on your system.  Definitely it was not Pro but probably the standard, Windows 8.1
    You may download from here:
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/18309-windows-8-windows-8-1-iso-download-create.html
    If you cannot install with the proper key you will have to order recovery disks.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144, and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the WorldWide site:

  • When I try to upgrade icloud storage I get an "unknown error" message. I can't install the software upgrade or back up my phone. HELP!

    Need help with icloud storage

    Not sure if you are trying to upgrade iCloud storage to make more room for the upgrade, but that won't help you. If you do not have enough room on your device for the upgrade, then you have to delete some things off of your device. You can also try to do the upgrade via iTunes on the computer you sync with. A direct upgrade does not require as much memory as a Wifi upgrade.
    Upgrading iCloud storage only provides more storage for your backups and for your iCloud sync'd items like messages, contacts, etc.
    Until the iCloud Drive is fully functional, iCloud will not help you to increase the memory capacity of your device.
    And, right now, the iCloud servers may just be overloaded with activity.

  • How can re-install the factory apps without the CD?

    Hello,
    A friend has given me his old iMac. It is a 5.1 late 2006 17". 
    He has deleted some of the apps that were installed by the factory and I would like to re-install them but I do not have the CD that came with the iMac.
    what can I do?
    Nikolas

    I would recommend just grabbing this disc from the Apple Store. You shouldn't need the original system disc, as this will get you the mac app store to get the iLIfe programs etc. It's advantageous to have an OS X disc for your iMac as you do not have the recovery partition that modern macs have. In addition to installing Snow Leopard, you can use this disc to do health checks on your boot partition etc.

  • I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

    I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

    You can find the CS4 download here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html

    No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.

      Just as an aside - I have been getting messages on here from Adobe Admin saying that CS5 cannot be reinstalled because everything is now in the cloud and that for $350 I can buy CS6 to install on my new computer.  What?  Am I getting spammed on Adobe's site here?

  • I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

      Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

    When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
    You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
    Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

  • I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first.  Am I out of luck?

    You do not need the older version installed in order to install the upgrade version, but you do need the serial number from CS4 to prove that you qualify for using CS5.  During the activation process for CS5, after you successfully enter the CS5 serial number you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS4) from a list and to enter its serial number.
    If you registered CS4 when you originally installed it then you might be able to find the serial number available in your Adobe account online in the Products section.
    Find your serial number quickly

    I'm having the same issue. All my applications transferred over. Lightroom is working, but when I went to edit a picture in Photoshop, I got an error message. It told me to restart, but the program still won't open after restart. It says licensing has stopped working, but what does that mean? I can't tell whether it's unsupported/blocked, or if it's a malfunction. The error code is 150:30 See screen shot.

  • Can't Install the X-fi I/O Drive Upgrade

    I've trying to install my X-fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit for two days, all i get is the following message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system" when trying to install it. I can't install the software in the CD either, as someone else suggested, it won't install, gives an error message. I've tried everything suggested in the "read first before posting". I've searched troughout the forum, and couldn't find any solution, just more people with the exact same problem, and not a single reply. It would be nice to get a solution that works.

    Where are you connecting pwr? To the card or directly to the bay? If its plugged into the card then disconnect that and then there is a floopy pwr connector on the bay itself and thats where you hook up power. The only time you will connect pwr directly to the card is if you get the break out box as it will get its pwr from the card. If your already set up that way then sorry for intrudingJess
