Creative suite cs4 standard

Hi, I got a very nice present from my brother , who lives in the US: Creative suite CS4 standard. :-) He purchased it in the US. I am living in Europe though.I don't know wether  I can install it  anyway? or are there different licenses for the countries? I haven't installed it yet, because I am a little insecure.. don't want to mess up my new imac. If the programm doesn't work, can I exchange it here? or does have to go back to the US?

Going by my experience of purchasing a CS2 upgrade a few years ago from a Canadian site (much cheaper) and having my sister in Toronto send it over to me here in Britain, you should be OK with regards to installation. Registration and activaton should be okay. The biggest sticking point could well be tech support as you're using a N. American version rather than a EAMER Europe Africa Middle East Region copy. I think the tech support agent will expect you to be living in New Yourk or Chicago rather than London, Manchester or Rome to get full support. Hope this makes sense.

    Thank you Jeff. Great questions.
    I was opening Illustrator in CS4 design standard. Odd too, because the error comes up with it showing missing plugins from Photoshop. I opened Photoshop first, then Illustrator to see if it changed anything. Yes, One of the two error messages for a plugin was gone.  
    To remove apps I went to the Adobe website to redownload my standard CS4 and chose "uninstall".. So I did. Restarts x 2 . Then Reopening illustrator...same thing again. Restarted, then went to Disky Utlity and cleaned up something off of it as per a internet suggestion...Sorry, it's been a long day alreay. Not me removing anything, just allowing it to do that with repairing.
    The version of Mac OS is YOSEMITE 10.10.2 .
    I recently updated!!! oooh nooooo! (every watch Mr. Bill on SNL?) so if the updated OS is the culprit, do I have to go back to older version for my apps to work?   I never realized how very much I use Illustrator. I know there are extensions I could go through one at a time....seriously I am overwhelmed with some life events that make this computer dilema  almost too much of a challenge for me at this time..I am truly grateful for your help. Thank you Jeff.

  • Creative suite web standard and vista 32 bit

    Since purchasing a new computer with Vista my old web software which ran fine on XP is now obsolete and I need to purchase new.
    What is the lowest version of the Adobe Creative Suite Web Standard that will work on Vista Home Basic SP1 with media 32 Edition? The CS2 design software is working fine, it's just the web suite I need but I've seen some postings where their version of CS2 didn't work?
    Also, any suggestions on where to get the best price?

    Thanks. Well, I think from your response I should be alright with the laptop/ cs4. Although, now I question another aspect...you stated that vista 64 should have 6gb, the laptop that was "designed" only has 4gb.  Part of the reason I am questioning everything is that I need to make sure this laptop will work w/ everything otherwise I am sending it back, I have unfortunitly found that it is not compatible with my wireless internet service.  So either I send it back and reorder with vista 32 or purchase different wireless service. I would prefer not to send the laptop back, but now I am questioning every aspect of it so that hopefully 6mo. from now I don't say "I guess I should have ordered....." , I was just assuming that the info I was not sure about while ordering the computer is why there are "designers/ professionals" available to talk to.
    Anyway, here are is some info on the laptop:
    Studio 1537, Intel core 2 duo T6400, 2.0GHz, 800Mhz, 2M L2 cache
    4GB, DDR2, 800MHz 2 Dimm
    256MB ATI mobility radeon HD 3450
    320G 5400RPM SATA hard drive

  • Creative Suite CS4: Problems with font managing software

    It seems that there are some issues of the applications of the creative suite CS4 with the font managing software MainType (http://www.high-logic.com/maintype.html).
    With standard settings, CS4 no longer recognizes PostScript Type 1 Fonts loaded by MainType (which did not occur with CS3 and older versions). The only solution so far is this workaround:  Within MainType enable under "Tools -> Options" the option "Copy Type 1 Postscript fonts to Windows fonts folder" and CS4 will load these fonts again.
    This seems to be a bug of CS4. Are there problems with other font managing programs?
    regards
    fabian

    After reading tons of forums about this issue, it does seem to be an issue with CS4 not recognizing fonts the way that CS3 did. Wish they had mentioned that little feature when they released it. They even go as far as to say they do not support certain programs for type handling in Windows. Copying them to the system folder is a workaround, but it is not available easily in programs like Extensis' Suitcase, which is long overdue an upgrade. LinoType beta tested a new application for Windows, but when I sent an email to them asking about the release date for the their final version, their ignorant customer support sent me a link to their website pointing out that it is not yet available, and not answering my initial question of when.
    I don't entirely blame Adobe, it seems as though a lot of companies have dropped the ball on this issue, and since many people have Type 1 fonts they've been using for years, they will have to repurchase (if available) those fonts in the newer OTF format which everyone seems to support. OTF is a much nicer format and more portable cross-platform, but it's simply inconvenient to not be able to use all of your fonts at your own discretion easily. I'm not sure what the big deal was with not including support for Type 1 fonts, unless that's most of the reason that the Adobe apps were crashing before... corrupt versions of the fonts they talked us into purchasing, etc... Adobe used to make ATM for managing postscript fonts, but it doesn't work on Vista to my knowledge. It would be nice if they would recommend a font manager other than the Windows system folder.
    I figure Adobe was hoping that it would not be a major issue since their wonderful PDF format has taken hold for printing. Print shops do not have to install fonts before printing a piece anymore. Most people will read in these forums about the loss of support, throw up their hands and shake their heads, but do nothing about it. After all they too probably purchased the CS4 suite without knowing about this issue and have already spent their money. It doesn't look as though it's an issue on the Mac, but by the time you throw $3000 at an entry level Mac workstation and $1600 at the basic adobe apps, that's not a solution either. Especially when you have to go out and buy all new fonts anyhow, since the macs will not support the Windows postscript typeface formats either.
    After doing a little price shopping for typefaces, I'm trying to try to keep using the few OTF and TTF fonts I've purchased since they're still working, since the prices of fonts these days are astronomical. I've installed a few fonts in the system folder, but too many and Acrobat distiller crashes. It's not cost effective to spend all of your income from design on $1600 font family sets, just to make changes to a document where you might have used a postscript face. Especially in this economy... It's another case of the investor getting rewarded for the release of an application and the customer is left holding the bag. Hopefully it's a bug, but not likely. It's probably some mandated decision by the higher ups in Adobe.
    I'm sure larger companies with hundreds of employees probably have site licenses for typefaces in the OTF format, so for them it's not a problem, and since most people using PCs to do design opted for that platform because of the cost issue, Adobe probably doesn't care about them either. Maybe a solution will arise in the future, but it doesn't look likely. You will probably have to get the new formats of typefaces one by one.

  • Hi I'd like to buy a creative suit cs4.. an American one and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the language into German?

    I'm working for an German office and my collegaues would like to use the creative suite cs4 for their projects. The original German version is quiet expensive -- that is why I'd like to buy an American one... unfortunately my collegaues are not in English so.. is it possible to change the langauge in the standard design cs4 version?

    Adobe no longer sells CS4.  They only sell new versions of their products.  Beyond that, you cannot purchase an American copy if your company is based in Germany.

  • I bought the upgrade to Creative Suite 6 Standard, but during the installation I receive the message that the serial number of my previous version (CS 5.5) is uncorrect.

    I bought the upgrade to Creative Suite 6 Standard, and the installation system asks me the serial number of my previous version (CS 5.5). I insert it, but it tells me it is uncorrect.
    The machine where I'm trying to install the Creative Suite Standard CS 6 uses Windows 8 and no Adobe programs are installed here. When I bought the Creative Standard CS 5.5 I registered it for Mac platform, but I have also a serial number for Windows and it doesn't work.
    I tried to register a new product in my Adobe account, using the Windows Serial number that I received when I bought CS 5.5, but it doesn't work.
    Thank you.

    Yes, I have a TLP license, so which kind of upgrade should I buy?
    I'm an Italian user and I would prefer to contact support by web chat but I can't find it in the website, please can you help me? Thank you, I'm desperate!

  • While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get

    While upgrading Adobe Creative Suite CS4 ME into Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Design Premium, I get an error saying This serial number is not of a qualifying product, please try another. I used to be able to get a code from customer service but I can't get to the chat. Please advise!!!!

    MoeGhazal I reviewed your account and it looks like you have have upgraded from a CS4 volume license for Design Premium to a retail upgrade of Design Premium 5.5.
    I also show that you made two purchases of CS5.5 Design Premium but the second purchase was canceled.  Please make sure you are utilizing the serial number which ends in 7886.
    If you are using the correct serial number then it is likely the installer will not recognize your volume license CS4 serial number as being valid for an upgrade.  If you can contact our support team then you can be walked through an unlocking procedure to allow you to proceed with the installation.  You can contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care.  You may want to try installing a web browser you have not previously utilized.  It is likely a toolbar or some other software application is affecting your ability to access chat support successfully.
    If you are still unable to reach our support team then please verify the information under your account is accurate.  If you can please then update this discussion after confirming this then I can request a member of our support team contact you directly.
    Again I would recommend reaching out directly if possible as it will be the most efficient method of resolving your current error.

    Hi! I have a Creative suite Design Standard 9 Adobe program and I am attempting to make a wizzard form that can be made into an entry form for a competition. So I need to 1. Make the form into a question and answer form that Participants may fill out. 2. make it possible for them to download it via a link on our website 3. make it possible for them to save the info they have written into the form and mail it to the mail we have supplied in the entry form and 4. make it possible for them to put in a jpg. as part of the entry for and lastly 5. make it possible for us to copy paste the document and use it on other platforms. How do I do this - is it at all possible with adobe?

    Those requirements are go way beyond what PDF forms can do and are meant for, some of them would require involving other programs or are mutually exclusive and contradictory. You are wasting your time even thinking about doing this as an "offline" PDF form. Simply sign up for an online forms/ survey service like FormsCentral or Surveymonkey.

  • Which license is CSDS33MUPA / 051... It's Creative Suite Design Standard 3.3 with Acrobat Pro 9 in Czech... but which license is MUPA ?

    Which license is CSDS33MUPA / 051... It's Creative Suite Design Standard 3.3 with Acrobat Pro 9 in Czech... but which license is MUPA ?

    Why don't you call support again and ask if you can have a copy of the discs with your serial number? I don't know if there is a small fee but I prefer to have discs than a download. Then you can try reinstalling.

  • Problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4

    Hi, I am having a problem installing Adobe Creative Suite CS4. I have uninstalled CS3 and installed my new CS4 and it installs fine. I go to open one of the programmes such as InDesign and I get an alert message "Licensing for this product has expired". I used to have a trail version, so uninstalled that too and still get the same problem, is there anything I can do?

  • Use Adobe Creative Suite CS4 with Windows 8.1 (64 BIT)

    Hello,
    could you please help me: I installed CS4 on my PC. But now im looking for a new PC, which I will buy in the next days. Is it possible to use the Creative Suite CS4 with a new PC, which has 64 Bit (Windows 8.1.)? ) Or should I buy a PC with only 32 Bits, as it is recommended in the system requirements. Will it give problems? If yes: Which one?
    Thank you!

    64bit versions of Windows support 32bit apps. This point is utterly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. There will definitely be problems, but not because of CS4 being 32bit. More to the point you should be concerned about driver compatibility and the security stuff in Win 8.1. which is something you'd have to take care of in any version.
