Can old versions of upgraded Adobe software taking up HD space be deleted after updating?

Can old versions of upgraded Adobe software taking up HD space be deleted after updating?

Updating versus upgrading - two different animals.  Updates need the software they are updating.  Upgrades of Adobe products do not need the precedent versions.
Upgraded versions are better off removed before installing the upgrades.  There are occasions where different versions share some file where deleting an older version after installing the newer one can remove a needed file.

  • How do I remove an old version of the Apple Software Updater from a Windows XP machine without a software disk?

    How do I remove an old version of the Apple Software Updater program from a Windows XP SP3 machine
    without an Apple Software disk? I keep getting a message saying that I need such a disk to uninstall
    the old program so I can install Itunes software so I can download apps for my new Iphone 5S.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    How can I install and activate adobe software under creative cloud purchased from other country?

    Hi John,
    I appreciate your prompt response.
    We have an Australian client here in the Philippines and would want to purchase an adobe software under Creative Cloud Licensing.
    Since this type of licensing is not yet available here in the Philippines, they are suggesting that they can purchase it in their country.
    My main concern is, will there be any conflict upon installing/activating an adobe software under Creative Cloud which will be purchased from their country?
    And what are the steps for installing and activating a software under this type of license.

  • I just bought a new iMac and am new to the desktop Mac. I read you can get a free upgrade to Mountain Lion if you bought your computer after June 11,2012. Do I have to do something before Mountain Lion is released? If so what?

  • All self-hosted web fonts are deleted after update to latest Muse version (2014.3)

    All the self-hosted web fonts are deleted after updating Muse.
    It is necessary to import the self-hosted fonts again and then redefine every paragraph style to make it work again.
    This is an extra hour of work for every site using self-hosted fonts.
    Please make sure to improve this on the next update-release of Adobe Muse.
    Thanks

    Hi Abhishek,
    the site is directly uploaded using MUSE Upload to ftp host. When I open it with ftp client, there is off file of etelkawidemedium in fonts file.
    And I have tried to upload plain webpage with the same web font -  not made in Muse and it works.

    The answer from Shaun is little bit complicated for me:)

  • Is there somewhere I can get support on the Adobe Software Distribution Request process?  I have a broken download link in the resulting email.

    Hi,
    I recently renewed my Adobe Software Distribution license, as I saw that the existing download links were going to be retired.
    So I received the resulting email for Air, Flash, Reader and Shockwave and all the links are fine, except for the one to download Reader XI.
    Is there anywhere I can get support/help on this?  Adobe online Support Chat have me going in circles...
    Thanks
    Craig

    Yeah.  Getting the software isn't a problem (there a number of ways to download it), but I just want them to take responsability for the broken link in the email, since I'm supposed to use that link to download the software.
    After going through four Adobe support people, they've apparently passed it on to the "development" team... I wont be holding my breath on that.

  • How can I transfer my education adobe software from my imac to my macbook pro

    I have transfered the software but it won't except the serial number.  I had the software originally on my 13"macbook pro and my imac.  Now Im getting rid of my imac moving software to my new 15" macbook pro.
    So I will have 2 macbook pros, for different reasons but need software on both but not on my imac.
    When i go to register the software it won't except the serial number. 
    Ideas please?

    To transfer any Adobe software you have to make sure it is deactivated on your old computer.
    If the old license is deactivated but still won't accept the serial number on the new system, then you'd have to contact Adobe customer support in your region to resolve that, they're really the only ones who have the power to fix any licensing issues.

  • Firefox reverts to older version on own. Now cannot re-install lost plugs even after updated rev.

    Over time (months usually) firefox seems to revert to an earlier version that I was using, customization would be lost. This last instance, I lost plug ins and cannot get them to re-install though the process works as it always used to. I even tried re-installation after updating to the latest rev of firefox. I like Adblock and Noscript, but they will not re-install.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:
    *<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

  • Can't pause flash with right mouse click on mac osx 10.6 after update from firefox 3 to 6

    After updating my firefox 3... to firefox 6 I can no longer right click in a flash video and pause it

    My camera is a 1Ds mk II..
    and for that one it says
    All versions tested. All versions tested. Supported only through Lightroom 4.1.
    however, it also says
    Windows XP, Vista, 7; Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
    which is plain wrong, because Canon never supported any drivers for Windows Vista or Win 7, not to speak of XP 64bit. (You cannot connect the camera via firewire, without the device drivers!)

  • How can I download old versions of the Macromedia software?

    Hello again Jeff,
    Now I need to reinstall my old Macromedia products (due to a Windows reinstall) and my old installation media (CD) doesn't work. I still have the original serials and I have found the new serials from your link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/macromedia-legacy-activation-error.html for these products, but not the installers.
    So could you please post a link to download these old products? I'm specifically looking for these products: Freehand MX, Dreamweaver MX 2004 and Fireworks MX 2004.
    Thanks.

    Branched this out to a separate discussion.  For the Macromedia software it is not necessary to use a volume license version of the install files instead you would utilize the serial number in the documents you have referenced.
    I am sorry Tbalint444444 but your current difficulties are due to you no longer having access to the installation media as opposed to the activation server being disabled.  There are no plans to make these older software titles available for download.
    You may want to try looking at shopping sites were users are possibly trying to sell old copies of their installation media.  Please make sure to review their return policy though to help ensure you get the software you are looking for in good condition.

  • I can't de-activate my Adobe software because the computer is broken

    My Mac Book Pro video card is dead but the HD is okay. I want to de-activate my CS3 Design Suite and active it on a new OS Mountain Lion Mac Book Pro so I can upgrade it to CS6. Mac Genius can copy over to new Mac for me but will it won't be deactivated, will I be able to do it on new Mac or should you deactivate it first for me, at your end?

    Don't even try to copy over files. It's a waste of time. Simply reinstall using the original media. Call support to reset activations.
