Creative Suites CS4 and CS3

Hello!
Maybe it is a dummy question about the nature of Creative Suite licensing
but.
I am working along with a team now, and everyone uses flash CS3, I "only" have flash CS4 (in a CS4 design premium).
It is very unconfortable to save in CS3 format every time, the flash CS4 has a built in system to make it very annoying and
uncomfortable, cannot "save and compact" in CS3 format, and after saving for CS3, the flash CS4 slows down like hell,
so everytime I have to restart it, and for long time now I am still tired of "understand" the long and undesired text before each save, what
the heck the flash alerts me, and how to save in CS3 format, and how to run into saving back to CS4 accidentally. And why I cannot save into
CS3, if the file is already in CS3 format, why flash wanna automatically upconvert the file.. Aaaaaa!!!!
My question:
my CS4 design premium license is capable to help me in installing a CS3 version of flash (or out of a CS3 design premium pack), for that project??
Is there any way to achieve this??

You have created a fairly unusual situation!
I would first try runnning the CS3 Clean Script to see if that can remove it without damaging the CS4 installation. It may not.
Otherwise I can only think of:
Un-install CS4 normally
Run CS4 clean script, a couple of times if necessary.

It should also detect CS3 remnants , if not run CS3 clean script.

Manually remove any Adobe folders remaining – they may be in more places than C:\Program files!
Run a good registry cleaner like CCleaner.
Start again with a fresh installation.

Production Suite CS4 and CS3 on same system ?

I had bought CS3 (installed, under Vista x64) and was entitled to an upgrade to CS4 which I have not installed yet.
I know it is not recommended to work projects started in CS3 into CS4. But can I install both versions on my system without functionnality problems ?(I mean in two distinct folder of course, but what about the stuff linked into Windows?). So I can keep working projects started in CS3 and then start new projects with CS4 ?
Also: license wise ?
Thanks,
Rob

I have CS3 and CS4 installed on two different computers and do not see any problems due to their coexistence . The only thing I have seen in the forums is a caution to not remove CS3 after installing CS4 as it apparently shares some files with CS4.

Install Creative Suite CS4 onto my new MacBook Pro, and deactivate it on the old mac

I want to install Creative Suite CS4 onto my new MacBook Pro, must I deactivate it on my old mac? Please teach me how to deactivate?

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.

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?

Not sure if this is your issue . . . check out this knowledgebase article:

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.

Downloading Creative Suite CS4 from dvd - upgrade check?

Hi there,
I am downloading Creative Suite CS4 from a purchased dvd. It allows me to enter the serial number but then takes me to the net screen that wants to do an upgrade check! I have no other related Adobe software! It asks me to select product I already own, which I don't. It defaults to CS3 and then of course wants the serial number which I don't have as I don't have a previous version! If I go back to previous screen I can load a trial version and then enter the serial number after 30 days, I don't want to do that.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
V

The only Windows CS4 software I can find with InDesign is this copy of Master Collection at Amazon: http://amzn.to/czqbie
That may or may not make you eligible for a free upgrade to CS5. I don't know when the offer expires but you can read about it here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html?PID=2159997#I%20meet%20the%20requirements.%20Ho w%20do%20I%20place%20my%20order.

Creative Suite CS4 Mac system requirements?

Hi,
This is my mac PowerBook G4

What more do you expect? They have already posted the minnimum system specifications on the site. There's no way for them to tell you whether it would work with less that the minnimum on your machine. Too many variables.
Even if someone comes along with the same system specs as yours, there's no assurance that you can get it to work if they did unless you have a carbon copy of their machine.

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.

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.
