Can I upgrade to CS4?

Sorry, I do not know what forum to post this in.
If I buy CS3 production premium now, will I be eligible for a free upgrade to CS4?
I want to buy the academic version from my school.

  • Can I upgrade a CS4 from the UK with a CS5 I can get from US?

    Hello - can you help?
    I bought CS4 Design Premium in the UK last year, and a second seat of CS5 last autumn. We're having problems using both together so I want to upgrade the CS4 to CS5. I can't afford to upgrade both to CS5.5. The only CS4-CS5 upgrade I've found in on Amazon.com in the US. Please can you tell me for sure whether if I buy this, will it upgrade my UK version ok?
    Thank you for your advice.

    Thanks for the answer Mylenium, appreciate the help.
    The only thing is I'm a bit confused now becuase I've just had an email back from an IT mate of mine:
    "I can assure you that you can. I took a copy from the US and installed  it for a friend in the Philippines and it worked just fine. All that  matters is you have a Retail Copy, and a valid license. There are some  region restrictions on some of there products, but thats most based on  the OEM / VL copys and not retail."
    So which one is correct? It's kind of important we get this right, it's the difference between about £400 and £1300 for two upgrades... one means I can still pay the bills this month, the other means my kids ain't gonna be getting birthday presents... or food.

  • How can I upgrade from CS4 to CS5/CS6?

    Hi, I really need to upgrade my Adobe suite from CS4 to CS5 or higher. From reading in this forum you are unable to do it, but those posts were from 2012. Wondering if this is still current and if anyone can help me? Do I need to buy the entire suite again from scratch? Surely not?
    I have a student version by the way.
    Thanks!

    You cannot upgrade from Photoshop CS4.  Those days are long past.
    While you can buy a full license for (the now outdated) Photoshop CS6, your most cost effective alternative may be to consider the Creative Cloud "Photographer's Bundle" subscription...

  • Can I upgrade from CS4 extended to CS5

    I dont use the extra features in CS4 extended, so it would be better value for me to upgrade to just CS5 - is this allowed?

  • Can I upgrade dreamweaver cs4 to cs6

    Can my Dreamweaver
    cs4 be upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6

    You do qualify for 40% off your first year subscription price as a prior owner of the Creative Suite...

    DWCS6 was available as a stand alone one time purchase for $299 USD and slightly less for DWCS5.5 owners, but it looks like they no longer offer it, all references to it have been scrubbed from the online store within the last week.

  • I have CS3 Web Premium, can I upgrade to CS4 Production Prem?

    Or do I have to stay with Web Premium?

    Yes, you can upgrade. It will cost $599 if you are in the US or much much more than that if you are not. See Upgrade eligibility:

  • Why can't PS7 users upgrade to CS4?

    Does anybody know the logic behind the fact that PS7 users can't upgrade to CS4? I can't believe that Adobe doesn't have the IT knowledge to enable CS4 to be backwards compatible. One person suggested that I upgrade to CS2 or CS3 and then upgrade again to CS4. That will, of course, save me some money, but why on earth should I have to do that - it's still expensive? I think we all know the answer to that!!
    Could I remind Adobe that we are in a "credit crunch" and that perhaps if their software was cheaper they might sell more. Or is that perhaps too logical?
    Pam

    Or, maybe she should deal with Adobe like she would any other company
    that she hasn't bought anything from in about 8 years...
    Call them up and find out what they can do for her...as you say, in this
    economy perhaps they can offer her a discount on a new CS4 license. It
    can't hurt to ask. If she's real nice and gets the right person you
    never know.
    But seriously, why do you feel this way, Dave? I understand wanting to
    be treated fairly but that's a two way street. Has she been a loyal
    customer? The answer is quite obviously no.
    The fact that you, or any other regular upgrader would take this stance
    surprises me. Here's why.
    The Adobe installers are crappy enough as it is. Can you imagine if they
    had to verify installation media and serial numbers that could be up to
    20 years old? I know the argument that's coming...just have the person
    call Adobe.
    The glitch in that argument is that you need a human being to handle
    that...and that costs money, which raises the price of the software for
    EVERYONE. Would you, as a loyal customer who's purchased every upgrade,
    be willing to underwrite that cost? What if Adobe allowed all previous
    owners to upgrade to CS4 for $239.00 instead of $199.00. Now...how do
    you feel about it?
    People are complaining enough about the cost as it is. Would you then
    jump in to chastise Adobe for jacking up the price? You can't have it
    both ways...either you want loyal customers to be treated as such or you
    don't, but allowing every who's ever purchased a product from any
    company to get the same treatment as regular loyal customers just makes
    no sense from a customer prospective or a business prospective.

  • Adobe CS3 (32bit) upgrade to CS4 (64bit)

      I currently run Adobe CS3 on a 32-bit platform, Windows XP Pro.  Due to recent hardware failures I am purchasing a new computer.  I plan to upgrade my hardware to support 64-bit Windows XP Pro.  I also want to upgrade my CS3  to CS4, to utilize the 64bit support.
      Since CS3 does not install on a 64bit platform, how can I upgrade to CS4 on my new 64bit machine, or is this even possible?  I'm worried that I may have to purchase CS4 instead of upgrading due to compatibility issues with CS3 on 64bit machines.

    I have vista Biz 64 bit on my new unit. When I try to install master collection CS3 on it the install happens and Bridge Acrobat and OnLocation work. All other programs say I need to re-install or there is a catistrophic failure on my license sub system. I tried switching to XP service pack 2 compatability but still can't get my other programs to start. Adobe customer support just refers to its memo about MC CS3 not supporting 64 bit but then says it should install if I go to a32 bit comp mode. please give more info if possible.. thanks

  • Upgrade from CS4 Extended Education to CS6

    Two questions here. I purchased the educational version of CS4 Extended back when I was in school. No longer in school, I wish to upgrade to CS6 non-educational. First question: Can I upgrade using my educational licence to a non-educational one? Second question: Can I upgrade from CS4 Extended to CS6 Standard? I have no need of the extras with Extended.
    Thanks.

    Yes and yes. refer to the buying guide on the product pages.

  • Can I upgrade Dreamweaver 4 to the new cs4?

    Can I upgrade my dreamweaver 4 to the design suite that
    includes dreamweaver cs4??
    I couldnt find any info anywhere else. and the contact
    support is unavailable.

    > Can I upgrade my dreamweaver 4 to the design suite that

    No. You can only upgrade to Creative Suite CS4 from
    Dreamweaver MX 2004, 8,
    CS3 or CS4.
    Your Dreamweaver 4 (circa Dec 2000) is two versions earlier
    than MX 2004.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Dreamweaver#Version_history
    With DW4, you will have to pay for the full version of the
    CS4 suite.

  • Upgraded to cs4 can I still use cs3 on a different computer

    I upgraded to cs4 from cs3. Can I continue to use cs3 on another computer?

    You can. But if you cannot have another person using the program at the same time you are using CS4. You can even have CS4 on two computers, as long as it is only one user at a time.
    Many people keep both CS3 and CS4 on their computers because they might need to fall back to the older system because of a bug (when the program is new) or because they can do something quicker in the old version, at a later time.

  • How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

  • CS4- if I buy regular now, can I upgrade to extended?

    Hi! Rookie PS user and aspiring young artist here. My parents are getting my photoshop as a gift but I dont know if I need everything in extended yet. If I buy regular can I upgrade to extended in the future? Thanks for your speedy replies.

    judging by cs3, the answer is no. you won't be able to just "upgrade" cs4 to cs4 extended. it will require a seperate license.
    however wolf is right, you'd be able to go from cs4 standard to cs5 ee when that's released.
    not 100% sure on what chris says yet though. mr. nack said that there's a problem with the pricing and cd3 ee users SHOULD be able to upgrade to cs4 standard with no problems, but we've heard of at least one person here who's had trouble doing that. so either nack was wrong, or the word hadn't filtered down to the front line phone reps yet... time will tell on this one.

  • Can't upgrade from prod prem CS4 to CS6

    Hey guys
    the other day I was on adobe trying to get a price on upgrading to CS6 prod premium-- I had a disappointing online convo with adobe saying that my only 2 options are now because CS4 is technically 3 versions back-- were to buy the full version of CS6 for $1899 (instead of upgrading for about $750 as that is no longer an option) or go to the creative cloud, where for the rest of your life if you want to use adobe products you must pay a monthly fee-- NO WAY
    When was this made public that we can't upgrade anymore from 3 versions back? How is this good business?  Who wants this creative cloud? Who wants to pay a monthly fee for using this software? Am I the only one that thinks this business practice is unnerving? Where is Adobe getting the data that says people want to be roped into a monthly fee indefinitely?
    Please help me understand
    Thanks
    Tony

    Well, within certain version parameters, upgrading is still viable. However, the limitation was imposed on how many versions back still qualify.
    Adobe is not the first software company to do this. Corel did it many years ago with CorelDraw. I have version 3, and skipped version 4, as I was using Illustrator for similar work much more often. Then, CorelDraw 5 was released, with some useful features. I found that I had to first upgrade to version 4 (near the full-paid price), and then to version 5, again at near the full-paid price. I mulled it over, and decided that Illustrator filled my bill well enough. At about that time, I upgraded my AI 3.x to 5.x, skipping a complete version, with no issues (old Adobe upgrade policy), and I think that it only cost me about US 80, where upgrading CorelDraw to the coincidental version would have cost about US $ 400, or about the same as buying the later version outright.
    When PrPro CS 3 came out, I hesitated, waiting for Adobe to smooth out some kinks. Then PrPro CS 4 was introduced, with updates coming in a fairly constant stream. I waited, reading the forums closely. Then, with the introduction of PrPro CS 5, the new policy was announced, though that did change a bit. I went ahead, and went with CS 5, then upgraded to CS 5.5, to get the free upgrade, as soon as CS 6 was launched (small window of opportunity there). For me, CS 6 might be the end of the line, as I have retired, and am now only using the program(s) for personal use, plus working on issues for the forum.
    For me, the CCloud does not really offer much of an inducement, but for many others, it is just what they need - the X-platform usage is a big plus for many, but being a PC-only guy, does nothing for me.
    Am I the happiest patron? No, though at one time I almost never missed any release, or DOT release, for all of my Adobe programs. Now, well not so much, so I need to stay abreast of changes in upgrade policies. Like I mentioned, CS 6 will likely be the end-of-the-line, but only because I cannot amortize the cost of software upgrades, as I could before - not because I am dissatisfied with Adobe or their products. Software upgrade policies are, what they are, and I have just learned to live with those.
    Good luck,

  • Can i Upgrade CS student to CS4 for the upgrade price???

    I have Creative Suite 1 standard(student edition). I want to upgrade to CS4 premium (orig or student). Can I purchase it for the upgrade price or do i have to pay full???

    The academic versions can be upgraded to commercial versions. There are
    no academic upgrades since the price is already very low.
