Can't install Photoshop 5.02, so no upgrades will install

I can't re-install Photoshop. My original full version is 5.02, and my Windows 7 64bit says "not compatible", and since all versions I have thru CS5 are upgrades, you could say my Adobe foundation isn't up to current building codes. I tried cdompatibility mode XP SP2 for the setup,exe file for 5.02. No go. Adobe chat was no help as tech was probably in diapers when I bought V 5.02 and couldn't understand SN starting PWW..."Your SN must be 24 characters". All versions since 5.05 were upgrades depending on the original [PS7, CS2, CS5].

You don't need to install the original full version of the software in order to install the latest upgrade. All upgrades include the full program code. The serial number differentiates a full version from an upgrade.
Just install the CS5 upgrade (even if no Adobe software has been installed previously).
Enter the CS5 upgrade serial number when prompted.
The CS5 installer will ask for the serial number from a previous qualifying version. Enter either a CS2 or CS3 or CS4 serial number - even if those serial numbers are upgrades, they'll still be accepted - and the CS5 installer will complete the installation.

Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5? I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2. Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

If I were you I would just delete the installed Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2. The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system. If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

Installing Photoshop Elements 10 as an upgrade

I recenlty purchased Photoshop Elements 10 as an upgrade to an older version.It is plainly stated on the box that "you will need a licensed copy of any version of Adobe Photoshop Elements." Somewhere on the Internet I saw that it would be necessary to have your old registration number. The upgrade version is $20 cheaper than the new version.
When I installed the upgrade, nowhere did it ask for my old registration number.
So my first question is did I get the full version of Photoshop Elements 10?
My second question is why the difference in price between these two versions if an older registration number is not necessary to install the program?
Tech support was no hope with these questions.
Thank you.

Well, I think it strange that Adobe doesn’t care if I had a previous version. It sounds like a rip off to me, not for me but for the guy who pays the full price. . And tech support could have cared less.
And, yes, it works, but what a shock! Not at all user friendly like the previous version I have.
Thanks for your reply.

I can't install photoshop CS4 but all other CS have installed

I had a trail version of cs4 photoshop, and then I trashed it when I bought CS4. I installed all the programs excapt it wont install photoshop. When I put the disks in to try and install it again, I just get a list of all the cs4 programs that I have installed in my comp. And photoshop is not on the list. How can I install it? I have a woking serial number. Please help thanks

It might help others help you more directly if you provide some additional information:
What Windows operating system? 32 or 64 bit?
What kind of computer?
What Adobe CS package is it (e.g., "master suite")?
Where did you buy a CS4 package recently?
What error message(s) (if any) did you get when you initially installed the software and Photoshop wouldn't install?

I can't install Photoshop CC because of a supposed already installed beta version. However I can't find any other versions. What can I do? Is there something I can delete in e.g. system configuration?

A beta version is supposed to be installed on the computer and this needs to be uninstalled before I can install Photoshop CC. There is no such installation present, could it be some configuration or setting that should be removed?

Did you search for an answer?

Installing Photoshop CS5 requires Adobe AIR to be installed

Hey Guys (I'm new so sorry if I do anything wrong here),
I just installed Windows 8, and while it was very confusing I accidently deleted all of my programmes (I got confused with what the Reset Tab was) and when I went to go and install Photoshop Trial, it's telling me I need to update Adobe AIR because It's not available to my system.
I've installed it before, the only change was from Windows 7 to Windows 8, and I've seen other people with Windows 8 use Photoshop CS5? Please Help!?
Message title was edited by: Brett N

No No, Sorry aha I installed Windows 8, which was fine. I didnt like it much so I tried doing a system restore assuming I could just go back to Windows 7 (What my friend told me). I found out eventually I couldnt obviously, but before I found out I figured the "Reset Your PC" option would be like a system restore and would go back to Windows 7. All my Programmes got deleted, which I was fine about so I just went to go install them again but Photoshop is telling me I cant install it due to not having the system requirements. But the only requirement I believe I dont have is Windows 7, but like I said before... I've seen others with Windows 8 having Photoshop..
A system Image Backup, nope.. I dont. My friend told me that it was just a trial and I would go back to Windows 7 once the trial is up. (I should do my own research in future)
I hope this was clear enough, again it's pretty late and I'm just stressed over loosing everything. Thank you for getting back to me so soon also - Any other tips on how to maybe get it? I dont think I have any traces of Adobe left since all my programmes got deleted, the only other thing I have is Adobe Flash.

How to re-install Photoshop CS on new iMac? [was: Installing]

My old PC crashed and died and I lost all of my files and programs. One of the programs I lost was Adobe Photoshop CS. I talked to a chat tech and she sent me a free link to re-download the program. It download ok, but it will not install. I now have a iMac and the file download was a Mac version, but it will not install.
The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.

The message reads: The software is an unidentified developer.
What Ned said.
That error/warning is from the new Gatekeeper feature in Apple's Mavericks operating system. It's not from Adobe.
Gatekeeper is supposed to protect you from malware but it often causes more problems for the end user (like this) than it solves.
Having said all that, you will not be able to install Photoshop CS2 (the link you received to re-download CS was actually for CS2) on your new iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9+)
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
CS2 and earlier versions were written for older Macs running older non-Intel processors. Macs stopped using those several years ago. They now use Intel processors which are not compatible with the older processors.
CS and CS2 (10+ year old software) will only install and run on older (10+ years old) Macs running Mac OS X v.10.2.8–v.10.3.8. PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor. There is no version of CS or CS2 which will run on modern Mac operating systems.
With your new iMac running OS X Mavericks on an Intel processor, your choices are to buy CS6 or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee to run CC.

I have upgraded to a new computer and Windows 8. I cannot install Photoshop 6 which was an upgrade version from Windows 5.5, 5, 5. The original 5 will not install and without it, the Photoshop 6 has no original version to load from.

How do I install Photoshop 6 on Windows 8., when my original Windows 5 will not install?

If you were actually talking about CS5.5 and an upgrade to CS6, you only need the serial numbers from both products. Adobe's installer will look for CS5.5 on your system and when it doesn't find it, you will be prompted to enter that qualifying product's serial number.

Can't download photoshop and dreamweaver in cloud. Says Installed, but I don't have it

So a while ago I was using the trial version of photoshop and dreamweaver. I decided to pay for cloud to access these programs but I uninstalled the programs first. Now when I click the download I can't install either one because it says installed next to the image.
I had asked someone on the website through the chat if I would have this exact problem and they told me so long as I purchased the product i would not have the issue. I didn't want to purchase if I was going to have the problem, but I'm having it
I needed this program tonight so I'm considering just cancelling

Hi JessyaDoucett,
I would first double-check that you actually uninstalled them, usually the Adobe Application Manager checks the system to see what is currently installed, if Photoshop and Dreamweaver didn't actually get uninstalled that would explain what you are seeing.
Don't uninstall, rather check if these products are listed here
on Mac OS
1. Double-click your hard drive.
2. Go to Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers.
on Windows
1. Click Start > Control Panel.
2. Click Programs and Features.
If they didn't actually get uninstalled you should be able to convert the existing installations to be included as part of your Creative Cloud Membership using this workflow
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/convert-cs6-licensed-under-ccm.html
If they were uninstalled but something went wrong you might need to install again from the trial or use the Adobe Cleaner tool as next steps
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
You can launch Adobe Application Manager from
Applications Folder on Mac or the Start Menu on Windows to reinstall when you're ready

I'm on a slow internet connection can I download photoshop cc directly at another location to install?

Hi I'm trying to get photoshop installed on a computer at a location with slow internet and it's taking way too long. Can I download it somehow when I'm at another location to install here? I can't seem to find anything about that?

...and the monthly is supposed to be 30 days? Not many times a day? I will do the annual next time, but had no idea I was going to have extra issues by paying monthly. Logically I'd expect an annual payment to keep Photoshop authenticated for 364 days as long as it is the same computer. Why 99 days? Can I switch midstream?
I won't mention what I'd really like is to go back to perpetual licenses That is the correct answer IMO, but Adobe has spoken. Notice I said that with a smile.
I have no local network to deal with, just the computer I use directly connected to a router alone. I am the business; my staff of 5 or 6 and myself that is. Our network involves yelling hey (fill in the name) across the office. I gave up the corporate grind 28 years ago.
It's been fine for the last few tries after having issues as often as three or four times an hour last week. No changes have been made between when it was really problematic and now that it seems to be OK. Could it be an incompatibility with some other software? It does seem random and I've seen this off and on for two years. I had the full boat CC for the first year and this same thing happened inexplicably every few weeks. Seems to be related to updates to the actual CC utility, but I'm no techie, I shoot photo's and market products.
For now it's OK as I'll just use the copy of 6 I own in the field.
Thanks so much for staying with this. I'm good and you can close this out.
