Creative Suite Premium and Windows 8

I have an older version of Creative Suite Premium (no number so I assume CS1?). Does anyone know if it is compatible with Windows 8? The photoshop version within the suite is 8. Thanks

Truly 100% compatible? No. Not by a mile. It may install and some programs may even work reasonably, but issues ought to be expected. That stuff didn't even work on Win Vista and Win 7 since those old versions cannot deal with UAC and specific file dialog handling for instance. On Win 8 that may be further exacerbated by the changed printer driver model which will keep you from printing from any of the apps most likely. Therefore the only proper answer would be: Get CS6/ Creative Cloud. Trying to get CS to work in such an environment may be a considerably unpleasant experience and not worth wasting so much time...

  • Creative Suite Premium on Windows 7

    A friend of mine has Creative Suite Premium. It was installed on Windows XP. After upgrading his PC to windows 7 the Suite is not installing. What do you recommend?

    Win 7 Creative Suite Prem please see Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3 for information regarding the activation server shut down.  You will want to download a copy of Creative Suite 2 and utilize the serial number provided on the download page.

  • Creative suite 5 and windows 7 64bit + a rant

    Our company has several licenses of Creative Suite 5 Premium Pro  that we use on Windows 7, 64 bit, 12GB ram, xeon quad core 2.93GHz processor, with 2GB nvidia quadro video cards.
    Premiere Pro crashes anytime you try to edit a film.
    Big file or small, it doesnt matter, it just stops working and crashes to the desktop.  I am a support desk tech for my company and not familar with how premiere works, just when the operator loads the movie, and tries to edit it, it crashes.
    Also, Premiere Pro doesnt open on the first or the second attempt to open, but on the third it finally opens.  Clicking on it from the start, then all programs, then adobe creative suite, then finally premiere pro. It just ignores the first two attempts to open it.
    Thats the gyst of the tech problem.
    begin rant-
    The first time i called Adobe for Creative Suite support, they told us our licenses were registered to a non-corporate account despite them being corporate volume licenses.  Had to get transferred to customer support and fight with them for 2 days to get it sorted.
    Now, about 1 month later, same thing is happening again, our corporate volume licenses are registered to some home @live.com mail address and we cannot get support without losing another 2 days arguing with customer support.
    Our previous problem was with indesign crashing indisciminately.
    Who has time to sit on the phone with Adobe "customer support" all day for multiple days trying to resolve something that shouldnt have been changed in the first place.
    Does anyone else see this type of thing happening with licenses changing possession and any tips for running premiere without crashes?
    thanks.

  • Adobe creative suite 4 and windows 7

    Hi, I am about to buy a new laptop and dell have advised me to upgrade the operating system on my new laptop from windows home 7 premium to windows 7 ultimate in order to install and run adobe creative suite 4 web premium better. this will cost an additional £ 120 I wondered if this advice is corrrect. Thanks Mete.

    Hello Mete,
      The system requirements are available here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/web/systemreqs/
      You should not need to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • Creative Suite 6 and Windows XP

    Does anyone know yet if Creative Suite 6 is going to support Windows XP, or is it going to be aimed more at Windows 7?
    Aside from whatever feature changes there may be in the individual components, I would purchase CS 5.5 instead of 6 if XP is not going to be supported, or if a significant portion of the new elements of CS 6 are only available on later versions of Windows.
    Thanks,
    -Danny.

    Bob,
    I cannot answer your question for anyone else but myself, but the reason I would stay with a 10 year old technology is stability and familiarity.
    I don’t upgrade my OS or software to have the latest and greatest. I upgrade only when I’m forced to do so either by developers or as my needs require as dictated by client requests. For the most part, my clients want an end result, on time, on budget and don’t particularly care what tools I use to achieve them.
    I used Premiere 4.0 until 2001 before I upgraded to PP1. Used PP1 for almost seven years before upgrading to a used CS 2 (license was legally transferred) and only upgraded that to CS 5.5 when Adobe made an offer that was too good to pass up. It remains in the original box unopened.
    I use the 32 bit version of XP Pro. I understand that eventually I will be forced into a 64 bit OS. I will start with a new computer when that happens. Until such time, and so long as my old OS and software continue to allow me to be productive, I’ll stay with the old since from a workflow standpoint, P Pro 2 is more than I need right now. Its old technology that runs on my old OS. All is well.

  • Creative Suite Premium Upgrade?

    If I have Adobe Creative Suite Premium and I buy the CS3 or CS4 upgrade (off ebay), will I get an upgraded version of GoLive?  Will I get Dreamweaver?  Will I get neither?  Can anyone help me out here?

    Well if you buy it off ebay its most likely a pirate version and the pirates will have your credit card number too. Not a wise move.
    and you only get dreamweaver with CS3 and 4. GoLive 9 was a piece of crap and not worth the upgrade fee.
    If you are going to get CS4 which is the only version available retail and from Adobe, now is the time to do so before you are out of the upgrade path.

  • Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium CS6 package

    Trying to install Adobe Creative Suite Design and Web Premium CS6 package. When I run the install I keep getting the error message: "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and the write privileges on the destination folder".  HOW DO I FIX THIS?

    Hey John,
    That sounds like a tough one. I searched around a little and found a few other reports of this error but saw no definitive solutions.
    This would be what I would recommend you try:
    - Be sure you're using the default installation option if you are not already, install to the boot drive, typically C: (you're probably already doing this)
    - The amount of free space is really only relevant for the OS drive. I'd try using Disk Cleanup and remove all temporary files
    This doc is for Windows 7 but should work for 8.1 too - Delete files using Disk Cleanup - Windows Help
    - Boot up in a Selective Startup and attempt the installation again from there. These instructions are the steps I would try - How to perform a clean boot of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 to diagnose issues
    Note: You'll want to re-enable the normal startup afterwards regardless
    - Finally, attempt the installation from the Windows built in Administrative account and see if you get the same result, here are the instructions I would follow - Windows 8.1 Tip: How To Enable and Disable Hidden Administrator Account | Next of Windows
    Like before, you'll want to disable it and revert back to your normal user afterwards
    I'd recommend testing the installation after completing each of these steps I described above. I've seen cases similar to this before, where other software was interfering with the installation, the OS was not reporting accurate free space to the installer, or something is restricting necessary rights to the installer for access to directories needed for the installation. I suspect some similar is happening to you as well.
    Please give these a go and let me know if you get it installed.
    Best,
    - Dave

  • I recently got a new HP PC 500-267c/64 bit Windows 7 computer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop? It says I need the Twain Plug In. How do I get it?

    I have a new HP PC 500-267c/ Windows 7/64 bit c omputer. I installed Creative Suites CS5 and I cannot scan into Photoshop.
    It says I need the Plug In Twain to scan into Photoshop and can download it but nothing else. How and where
    do I find the download?

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/twain-plug-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Photoshop_CS5_a nd_TWAIN
    There's no 64 bit TWAIN so you need to use the 32-bit version of Photoshop. Personally I'd recommend that you use the scanner software as a standalone application and forget TWAIN, which is rapidly becoming obsolete and more or less abandoned everywhere. All it does is call up the very same scanner software, only from within the PS UI, and tying up Photoshop in the process.

  • Creative suite 4 and 5.5 compatable with Windows 8 and Office 2013?

    We have both Creative Suite 4 and a few CS5.5.  One classroom will be moving to Windows 8 and Office 2013 this Summer term.  Will either of these suites work or will we need to upgrade to CS6?

    The only honest answer: You won't know until you try. Generally they will/ should be compatible, but you may require dealing with legacy issues like printer compatibility or thne installer not finding specific folders as well as al lthe usual - security stuff, user privileges, network stuff in shared environements. you would face some of those issues even with CS6 or CC, so it's irrelevant to get a new version until there are real hard reasons beyond these issues. They can all be resolved, it may just take some fiddling and lots of patience.
