Can I use my cs5 production premium key on a trial version of cs6?

My old computer that had cs5 died. So I have now upgraded to a computer that doesn't have an optical drive. This is fine for me except that I NEED my production premium installed! So I had the genious idea of downloading the CS6 production premium trial and then entering my cs5 key!! Will this work? If not, where can I get a cs5 trial? Or, could I make ISO's of my cs5 discs on a friends' computer??
Thanks!!!
~Derek
Edit: I ask all this because I don't want to waste the bandwidth downloading the trial if it doesn't work and I want to stay clear of shady websites and viruses!!

No it won’t work. Get a USB thumbdrive and copy the installers using a computer with an optical drive.

  • Can you upgrade from CS5 Production Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

    I have the student edition of CS5 Production Premium suite and Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows and I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to the CS6 Master Collection. If there is, how much would it cost? I would like to get InDesign and Dreamweaver. Or would it be easier to try to buy the two programs separate?

    I saw that before, but I wasn't sure if it was an upgrade from the CS5 Master Collection or just anything CS5. Shouldn't the upgrade price vary depending on what collection of programs you have? Like shouldn't upgrading from the CS5 Master Collection be cheaper than upgrading from CS5 Production Premium? Will it change if I try to order it?

  • After a computer crash, how can I re-install my CS5 Production Premium?

    My laptop is crashing, and before I do something about it I want confirmation that I can re-install my CS5 Production Premium. I need this suite for work purposes, and I don't care if I have to wipe this laptop as long as I can still get my CS5 back. I couldn't find an answer anywhere, and Adobe showed me to this forum, so here I am asking. I think it's the computer itself, and not Adobe programs causing it, however Illustrator was the first program to not open, and then Photoshop, and then my itunes, Word, picture viewer, and then it all went downhill. Now my laptop is only good for Internet, when it wants to be. Any information/insight is welcome!

  • Adobe CS5 production premium "doesn't" qualify for new Adobe cc membership discount, WHY?

    Hi All,
       I have tried to qualify for the Adobe CC membership discount using my CS5 production premium serial number and the website is telling me that I do not qualify.
    However on reading the terms and conditions it stipulates anyone from CS3 and above can get the discount. Not only that the adobe live chat is only for paid memberships so I cant talk to anyone until I pay... frustration.
    Can anyone clarify this situation at all?
    Thank you in advance

    Hi, thanky ou for your response,
       I have the retail version with physical discs. It is not the educational version so I paid full price.
    ... hmmmm

  • Can I use my CS5 CD product key on a trial version of CS5?

    I recently ordered CS5 Production Premium and I can't wait for it to arrive!
    So my question is, can I download the trial version of the programs and just use my product key to activate them when the box comes in? Would it be the same as installing it out of the box?

    Yes. When you launch the trial you'll be prompted to either enter a serial number or continue with the trial.
    Just enter the serial from the DVD case and you should be good to go. I believe that the trial of production premium doesn't install all of the codec that the retail version does, but once you activate it, you can download them directly from the application.

  • How many computers can I put CS5 Production Premium on?

    How many computer can I put CS5 Production Premium on if I were to buy it for my company?

    frome Adobes "End-user license agreements - FAQ" - http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/195/tn_19592.html
    Can I use my software on two computers?
    If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.
    so the answer must be Yes :-)

  • Where can I find the install page for CS5 Production Premium?

    I need to reinstall my copy of CS5 Production Premium. Where can I find the install page for that?

    Check your Adobe account online to see if there is a link to download from there.
    Alternately, you can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Where can I download the template libraries for CS5 Production Premium

    I have recently downloaded CS5 Production Premium but noticed that there are no default template libraries for things like Menu presets in Encore etc.
    Can anyone tell me where I can download this file from, as when I asked Adobe telephone support they couldn't give me a specific address or file name.

    I think you'll get much better answers asking in the particlar forum for the application that you're wanting templates for.  To get to the forum home page where you can choose them look at the "breadcrumbs" near the top of this page.

  • Upgrade CS5 Production Premium German to CS6 Production Premium English?

    Hello,
    I own CS5 Production Premium in the German version and would like to upgrade to CS6. Is it possible for me to upgrade to the English version?
    If yes, how can I do this?  Will it work to just go to the Adobe Online Shop and put:
    I want to buy: Upgrade
    I own: CS5 Production Premium
    http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html?start=10

    Delivery: Download
    Or does this ONLY work if I own the English version?
    Thanks for your help

    If doing what you ask about ends up delivering the German version you can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

  • CS5 Production Premium causing problems with CS4 Production Premium

    I have been using CS5 Production Premium alongside CS4 Production Premium for a while now.  After Effects, PhotoShop & Illustrator work alright together (both CS4 & CS5 versions).  My job actually necessitates me keeping both versions on my machine.
    I had need to use both Premiere Pro CS4 and Encore CS4, and neither of the applications would initialize.  The following is the error message from clicking the Premiere Pro CS4 application file.
    I am uncertain what the application event log is or where it is located.
    Over on Creative Cow's site, I posted a similar message in the forums, in which a user stated that I should not have CS4 and CS5 on the same partition of my drive.
    I do have a secondary internal hard drive on which I could install one of the suites, however, I want to make sure that it is done properly and efficiently.  I have seen some issues with uninstalling CS4 after installing CS5, so I wanted to ask for help before I simply begin to rip software off my PC (since After Effects and PhotoShop - which work - actually comprise 95% of my Adobe workload).
    Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated.  Also, which version (CS4 or CS5) would be better suited on the secondary drive?
    Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

  • Adobe CS5  Production Premium vs. Adobe CS4 Production Premium

    Hello:
    I am currently a worker at a production studio and we are thinking about upgrading our system Adobe CS3 Production Premium to either Adobe CS4 Production Premium or Adobe CS5  Production Premium.  Our company was at NAB convention in Las Vegas this year and were convinced that Adobe CS5 Production Premium was the way to go.  However we come to find (after purchace) that Adobe CS5 Production Premium only runs on (and correct me if Im wrong) 64 bit.  Now stuck with a system we cant use on our vista 32 bit I was wondering what are the beneifits between the two and if CS5 is really that great is it worth while to upgrade my computer systems.  I am sure I am not the only one to have run into this problem.  Any input or advice would be great.
    Sincerely,
    Really Confused

    Look HERE for a quick summary of the new features in After Effects. I can personally attest to the power of the new rotobrush. If you do that kind of work, it will save you a ton of time. Rendering times are considerably faster and being able to RAM preview a 30 or 40 second clip all the way through at full res is finally a reality.
    Look HERE for a summary of the new features in Premiere Pro. The major improvement here, in my opinion, is the ability to preview a multi-layer timeline with several effects in real time at full res without rendering.
    I can't tell you if it's worth it to you to upgrade or not. All I can say is that I'm really happy with it, so far.

  • Re-installing cs5 production premium

    Hiya
    I bought a new computer window 7, 64 bits, which matchs the requirement for installing the cs5 produciton premium. I had it running perfectly fine at my old computer until the old computer was broken.  First of all, i install ed the cs5 prodcution premuim in my new computer, it runs ok, but I when I using the ILLUSTRATOR, i couldn't use the PATHFINDER , it doesn't alow me to do any merge or trum, or any other function.  So, I thought it might be I din't install it correctly, so I unstalled the whole program, and try to re-install it, however, as I try to install it, there was a little window come up says that I need re-start my computer, So I did as the computer say so . after I restarted the computer, then try to install the program again, the sample little window come up ask me the same question. and I tried a few times, still the same results. So now, I can't re-install the program at all.
    After desperation of no program to use for my project, the new idea came up to my mind, I download the ILLUSTRATION CS6 trial from Adobe website, but still countered the same problem, while I was install the cs6, it asked me to re-start my computer, so i pressed the ignore buttun. and here comes the message on my computer
    : 4 errors
    PAYLOAD:(9E0AF030-AC6B-11E0-8837-0021AEA26C9)MICROSOFT VISUAL C++2010 RESITRIBUTABLE PACKAGE (X86)10.0.40219.1

    And funny thing is the trial cs6 I have download has no function of pathfinder either, I am so confused!
    I have been use the pathfinder in the past so many times from my older computer, it was perfectly fine.
    And I also tried to open the file I created before, as I open the file, there was a little window came up says: font problem, the font in the file wasn't found in this program, do you still want to open this file?
    My godness, it was oringinally created from Illustrator cs5 Only, how come the new installed illustrator doesn't work? Funny thing is, i bought the whole program was only for the sake of illustrator, and it's THE only program I know how to use. Now I can't use the pathfinder to merge the objects.
    Please help me , I am getting so frustrated! And it took me so much time just to fingure out why it doesn't work.
    MANY MANY THANKS IF YOU CAN HELP.

  • 64 bit version download for CS5 Production Premium

    I am moving my applications from a 4-core PC to a 6-core PC for increased speed.  In so doing, the 6-core will become my second computer with CS5.
    Are the 64 bit versions of CS5 Production Premium not on the CS5 discs and were downloaded automatically later still available?

    I am organizing all the information I need for a transfer of files and programs from my 4-core PC to my 6-core PC so I apologize if my questions sound trivial.   I could tell the 64 bit version from the 32 bit version because the file included (64 bit) at the end of the name.  If this is the case with the download program then that is simple.
    I also have an additional concern regarding download time.  When I tried to download CS5 Production Premium twice on the first 4-core PC, the download quit after a period of time.  This can be a problem with Telco Internet.  I had to order the discs as a result.  I may be lucky with a new Airport Extreme router, due 28th of this month, and the 6-core PC combination.  Do you have transfer using FTP or what do I do if I experience the same problem with my 6-core.  Single programs such as Photoshop would not be a problem.  That is why I asked my original question regarding the download of 64 bit versions that were missing on the discs and sent by download afterwards.

  • I have CS5 Production Premium Upgrade from CS4 PP

    ... which is NOT an upgrade - it's the full version.
    What I'd like to know is, can I sell the CS4 Production Premium now, or must I keep it to retain the eligibility of my CS5 product?
    I don't want to do anything illegal, or leave myself without upgrade eligibility cover for CS5 (and beyond), but conversely I don't want to keep this software if I no longer need it.
    Hope someone can give a definitive answer.
    Many thanks,
    Neil

    If you used CS4 as the basis to get upgrade pricing than the CS5 license replaces the CS4 license. You CANNOT transfer CS4 as it is now legally tied to CS5.

  • CS5 Production Premium - Student. Upgrade to CS5.5?

    Thanks for reading all of this:
    I recently purchased CS5 Production Premium Student Edition. Adobe sent me an email saying I'm eligible for a complimentary upgrade.
    I sent in the request, and another email then said "When CS5.5 is available, we will notify you and it will ship."
    Then CS5.5 came out, and I had no such email even after a month. So I went back to the complimentary upgrade email, and tried to send another request.
    After clicking the link, the Adobe site said I haven't got any products eligible for a complimentary upgrade. Maybe that's because I already sent in a request.
    I contacted customer support through the chat client, and after an hour of miscommunication, the Adobe representative sent in a ticket for me.
    I now have CS5.5 Production Premium UPGRADE VERSION sitting in front on me.
    There is an information panel on the box saying "Before opening, visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo "
    It gives a link to the buying guide which says:
    You own one of the following suite editions
    Upgrade to Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium
    Creative Suite 5.x Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, Production Premium, or Master Collection
    US$399
    Does this mean my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium STUDENT Edition is eligible?
    Will I be able to use this Upgrade Version to install over the top of my Student Edition?

    Yes, you should be fine. Student versions carry full upgrade rights.
