Can I upgrade Photoshop CS6 from standard to extended without reinstalling?

Hello,
I have Photoshop CS6 Standard already installed on my Mac (OS 10.8). My employer has just purchased the extended version for me and I would like to upgrade. I have a valid serial number to do this.
I understand that the software is the same and depending on the serial number it can unlock the extended portion of CS6. Is there any way of upgrading the installed version to extended by re-intering the new serial number or should I just install a second copy of PS CS6 and have 2 PS CS6 (one standard and one extended)?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please follow the below mentioned steps:
Open Photoshop
Choose Help > Deactivate
Select Deactivate Permanently from this computer after deactivation completes
Click Deactivate.
Reopen Photoshop. You are prompted for a serial number. Enter the Extended serial number.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Can I upgrade to CS6 from Lightroom 4.2 or Adobe Premier Elements?

Can I upgrade to CS6 from Lightroom 4.2 or Adobe Premier Elements . . . or both?

I know it's a bit late to respond, but wanted to tell you what I think of Adobe's support.
I have bought numerous Adobe products over the years and would have expected a bit more accommodation when wanting to upgrade. It was not that I'm unwilling to pay the princely sums you ask for your programs, but you could at least give loyal customers some consideration, say a 10% or 15% discount to "upgrade." Well, since you don't, won't, and will not even consider it, I will never purchase another Adobe product!
I know I'm only a very small drop in the bucket, but I do plan to tell my friends, and they'll probably tell their friends, and so it goes. You'll probably never even notice it, but I hope that you remember that you have got to treat your customers right and honorably, no matter how little they spend!

How can I upgrade my CS6 from CS5.5 that is tied to another ID?

Greetings.
I have contacted tech support by phone and chat and neither time did I get the help I needed.
My company bought CS5.5 a few years ago. The woman that had my job at the time registered that version under her Adobe ID. I recently purchased CS6 (upgrade-download version) and registered it under my Adobe ID. When I run the installer and get to the part where I select a previous version, I choose 5.5 and enter the serial #. It tells me that the serial # is not valid and to choose another. I contacted support and they told me that they cannot help because the previous version is under another employees ID.
This is not a very effective registration model. People come and go from jobs all the time, to have them tie a software version to their personal ID is ridiculous. Look at what has happened to me. I cannot locate the old employee to get her information and tech support won't do anything.
How am I supposed to activate this software? Is anybody from Adobe out there reading this? After 4 phone calls and 2 chat sessions, I have no trust in technical support anymore.
Please, please advise!

Is the software owned by the company or the employee? The software should have been registered under a company Adobe ID and not an employee. It sounds like that serial number is now associated with the employee's own Adobe account and not the company so essentially she owns that serial number. Your company doesn't sound too efficient when purchasing and managing their own software.
Your IT department should have had control of all software and ID's. Have you checked with them to see if they have access to that account? Is it possible the employee took the software with her when she left then installed it on her own computer? That might be why your serial number no longer works.
Adobe's tech support stinks especially if you ask a question outside of their knowledge and what they have on a script. They may as well have monkeys answering the phone. Actually monkeys are easier to understand than the reps are.
Maybe somebody else will come along with a better resolution. You should return the upgrade of CS6 and may have to either get the CC version or re-purchase the full-price CS6 while it is still available.

Can I upgrade to CS6 from CS5.1

Please let me know how this is possible

You should be able to as long as CS6 is for sale where you live. Select "Buy" in the following page and then choose the upgrade option instead of the Full.

How can I stop Photoshop CS6 from unwelding imported 3d models?

Hello,
Photoshop has an issue right now in which when I import a 3d object (it doesn't matter which format, I've tried obj and cae) then it will split the object apart into multiple objects along where the borders of the uv map are (aka polyunweld). How do I stop it from doing that?
Here are images demonstrating what I mean exactly.

The fact that you have no ideas worth sharing does not really surprise me.
You say it's a fact that I have no ideas worth sharing. You are damned cheeky to a customer who helps pay your salary, lad. What's your problem? Embarrassed by your inept "investigation" of a reported problem? Anyway, how on earth would you know anything about my ideas or their worth?
It is not an easy problem to solve for a variety of customers that are your audience.
What? Not easy to solve? Just don't unweld the polygons! Not unwelding is easier than unwelding, surely
Photoshop has a very diverse community, what you think is good is not what a Photographer thinks makes sense.
That sounds ridiculous.
1. You initially insisted that Photoshop doesn't unweld meshes!
2. Then, after I provided further evidence, you said you would fix the problem.
3. Now you seem to be suggesting that the software was programmed to unweld meshes because it's "what a Photographer thinks makes sense".
It's easy to complain about on a forum, and if it is constructive that is fine but you seem to enjoy just complaining or insulting.
I complain about things at times. I'm insulting at times. But it's a fact that I'm helpful and constructive most of the time. Oh so sorry for not being the perfect contributor to this forum.
>> I've been waiting 5 months for one simple bug-fix<< I don't know when this was first reported and it's unfortunate we missed that (oh yeah we are human too) but we do have mechanism's (Bug reports on feedback.photoshop.com) that reach us directly, some of us patrol the forums but we cannot do that full time and ship a product.
You're completely mistaken again.
I wasn't talking about the problem in this thread. (Which you've denied exists, then admitted exists and will be fixed, and then suggested to be a design decision on behalf of photographers.)
I said "one bug" not "this bug".
The bug which still isn't fixed after 5 months, despite being acknowledged by Adobe, is one that was introduced by the OS X version of the 13.0.1 update. It makes the 3D rendering almost useless for OS X users and did not exist when customers paid $300 for the 3D rendering.

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer

I have downloaded Photoshop CC. Can I remove now Photoshop CS6 from my computer.

Hi there,
You can have both Adobe Photoshop CC and Adobe Photoshop CS6 on the same system and both will work fine.
In case you need to remove photoshop CS6 from your system, you will first have to deactivate it so save the activation count which you can use it for the future to reactivate.
Activation:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Deactivate and choose one of the following options.
Deactivate or Suspend Activation. These options deactivate the software but retain licensing information. Choose one of these options if you want to temporarily deactivate the software, and you're planning to activate on this computer again.
Deactivate permanently. This option deactivates the software and removes the licensing information from your computer. Enter the serial number again if you want to use the software on this computer.
Deactivation:
CS6: You log in with your Adobe ID to activate your software when you install it or within the first seven days of use. Follow the steps below.
Steps:
Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
Start the application.
Choose Help > Activate. (If this option is dimmed, you've already activated your software)
Log in with your Adobe ID (usually your email address) to activate your software. If you don’t have an Adobe ID, you see an option to create one.
Optional (CS5 & earlier): After you activate, also register your Adobe product for faster and easier access to support and upgrades.
If you need the free download link for CS6, you can visit [ http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html ]
Thank you

Hello & Welcome to the forums,
but it only recognizes my main scanner/printer!
Does this mean your HP Scanjet 5590 is a 2nd scanner you have on your computer?
Are you able to scan with 5590 on a different application? Is it only Photoshop that is giving you this problem?
Please let us know details about your operating system and its version too.
Do tell us how you're trying to 'import' pictures from your 5590 scanner.

Is there no upgrade path to Photoshop CS6 from Creative Suite 5 Design Premium?

Is there no upgrade path to Photoshop CS6 from Creative Suite 5 Design Premium?

Correct. The only upgrade from a Suite is to a Suite. You get a great price reduction by purchasing a suite, what you loose is the ability to upgrade any components individually.

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

Problem installing photoshop cs6 from download.

I uninstalled my photoshop cs6 from my last machine a few months ago. I decided to install photoshop cs6 today from Adobe's download center(I did not have the original install). I went thru the install process and keyed my serial in, but it would not install CS6. It would only give me the option of CS6 EXTENDED. Is Photoshop CS6 regular version part of the download now? Shouldnt I be able to "downgrade" extended to regular? Is there another download from adobe? I do not want to purchase a Cloud membership, as I am fine with my CS6.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Brandon

I do not understand how the image you are showing relates to your problem of having a better version of the software than what you say you purchased. You will have to contact Adobe Support to see if they can work out whatever the problem is, but I don't think they will consider it a problem if you are getting more than what you paid for.
I do not understand why you mention Photshop Elements... CS6 could not have been purchased as an upgrade to Photoshop Elements... it was never in the upgrade path as far as I know.
