CS2 upgrade to CS6?

Rather than buying CS6 outright, is there a way to upgrade from my existing CS2 to CS6 and save a little money?

You could get CS3, CS4, or CS5. Adobe does not offer those for sale. Providing you own an original copy of CS2, you could upgrade to those. Amazon would be the best bet for old software. at least you have a recourse if it turns out to be bogus (very common).

Will Mac CS2 upgrade to PC CS6?

Does CS2 qualify for upgrading to CS6? Also what if the CS2 version is Mac and I want to move to CS6 for PC?

Cross-platform upgrading works now for CS6 (meaning you can just buy the regular upgrade for a different platform than the one of the product you own), but regret to tell you that CS2 is too far back to qualify for discounted upgrade pricing to CS6...
CS3 and CS4 are the furthest back now that get lower upgrade pricing to CS6, and that's only until the end of the year... Adobe is planning to change their "3-versions-back" upgrade policy to "1-major-version-back" policy starting in 2013.

Photoshop CS2 upgrade?

I just upgraded my Mac OSX.4 to OSX.6, since my Outlook email program told me my browser was outdated. What a headache! Had to back everything up, then couldn't reinstall my Photoshop CS2.
(Anyone remember the good old days when they made things to last?) I think I now have to upgrade my Photoshop to CS5, and then will get a free upgrade to CS6, even though my CS2 was absolutely fine! I really don't have the money for that right now and wonder if anyone can provide a solution???

You startled me for a second! Thankfully, you are mistaken.
I just went and double checked: Photoshop 7.0.1 launched flawlessly in Tiger 10.4.11 on my G5 Quad Power Mac, and I'm delighted to see it running like the proverbial bat out of he!! on that machine.
I have the PPC G5 Quad sharing dual monitors, as well as keyboard, mouse and tablet— through a simple USB switchbox—with my Mac Pro running Lion 10.7.5. The Power Mac also runs Classic so I have a very wide choice of Mac operating systems without moving my chair, keyboard and monitors.

Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

Hi,
just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
Thank you very much for helping me! :-)

Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6. There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

I want to upgrade to CS6 Production Premium suite from CS5.5. Can I use CS6 upgrade made for CS5, or do I have to use upgrade that specifically states for CS5.5.

Windows 7, problems with Photoshop CS2 upgrade install

I just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and I seem to have outsmarted myself. Ever since version 5 I've bought the upgrade... well, now I no longer have the original version 5 disk and can no longer install and use either my CS or CS2 version. While I do have a backup copy of my old version 5 CD copied onto my hard drive it will not install on Win7 and the CS2 upgrade doesn't recognize the backup as a valid upgrade.
When I try to install version 5 I get an error message to the effect that it's incompatable with Windows 7. Trying to install either CS or CS2 and I get a "valid upgrade not found" error... if I let it install anyway in trial mode once it's done installing I get a "trial period is over, enter serial number". I enter my serial number for the version I'm installing and I get "invalid serial number" Invalid? It's the number on the back of the CD case verified 10 times.
Am I hosed or will I have to go back to Windows XP? I've paid for the Photoshop CS upgrade and the CS2 upgrade over the years but neither will install and run since I cannot install the last full version I own.
At the moment I'm having to use my laptop for all my photoshop work since it's still running XP and so it has a functional version of Photoshop.

It works fine.
Right click on the "setup.exe" file on the CS2 install disc and then click on "properties", then click on the "compatibility" tab.
Click on the box for "Run this in compability mode" and in the pull down select "XP sp2".
Click "apply" and then "ok".
Now go back to "setup.exe" and click on "Run as administrator" and CS2 should load fine.

Trouble installing cs2 upgrade in Windows 7 64 bit

I have recently bought a new computer and I am transferring programs. I have deactivated cs2 on my old computer. I am trying to install it on my new computer with OS windows 7 64 bit. The CS2 is an upgrade from adobe Photoshop 5.02. When I try to install the cs2 upgrade it asks for validation of ownership of Photoshop 5.02. It does not recognize the cd when I put it in the cd player. I have not been able to install Photoshop 5.02 onto my new computer using the cd (even when I use the compatibility trouble shooter and change settings to xp service pack 2. I have transfered the 5.02 over to my new computer via USB and can even run it. However, CS2 upgrade will not recognize 5.02 even when I browse to the program folder. Any other thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Find the registry keys for the program on your old machine, export them to a file, import them on the new system. regedit is your friend. Should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe somewhere...

Photoshop CS2 Upgrade to CS4 Upgrade with CS4 trial version

Hello,
today I bought the PS CS4 Upgrade (Win). The shipping will take 7 days so I asked myself if it is possible to upgrade my "CS2 Upgrade version" (from PS 6 full version) to CS4 by using the trail version.
Dear Forum,
do you have a step by step guidance about that issue?
Thanks!

Theoretically you should be able to do it, but I would advise against it because there are so many installation problems reported, especially with trials.
You have waited since September for CS4, so hang on for another 7 days and install the upgrade direct from the DVDs.

"Invalid Serial Number" - Photoshop CS2 (Upgrade)

Hello, I got the Photoshop CS2 Upgrade some years back and it has always worked fine. Whenever I needed to reinstall my operating system, it was a simple matter of deactivating the software and then activating it after reinstalling Windows.
However ths week, after reinstalling my Windows 7, I was informed that the Adobe CS2 activation server is no longer available, so I couldn't activate my CS2 that was installed from my CD. I read all about it on this website, and followed the instructions to download Photoshop CS2 directly from the website.
Now that I am installing the CS2 that I downloaded from here, I am being told that my serial number is "invalid". I have entered it correctly. It is very frustrating, the software on my CD has never given any problems in upgrading my Photoshop CS to CS2, but the one I downloaded is a pain. I would appreciate it if someone could help me resolve this problem.

Are you trying to install the one in the following link that doesn’t need activation if you use the serial number also supplied at the link, below, or some other one? “Downloaded from the website” and “downloaded from here” aren’t very precise:

PDF presets are lost after upgrade to CS6 and uninstallation CS4

Since upgrading to CS6 from CS4 and subsequently uninstalling CS4 (and CS3) - as advised by IT - I have lost the presets I had when I export to pdf from Illustrator & Indesign - the drop down menu options of PRESS QUALITY, HIGH QUALITY and SMALLEST FILE SIZE have gone.
I have a back up of CS4's settings but no idea which one I need and what to do with it in order to reinstate these options.
Any ideas?
Thanks so much

You simply would have to copy the presets into the folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Settings
I'd be careful, though. Overwriting default presets with an older version may cause compatibilty issues.

Upgrading to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium Install Failure

I am trying to upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium on Win 7 (32bit). I am nistalling from the DVD which was purchased from the Adobe Store. The box says it is for Upgrading from 4 or 3x. I am entering the CS6 serial number and it is able to validate it. When it goes into the Preparing to Install mode the status bar never changes and after what seems like a very long time the Installation failed message is displayed. I ran the Adobe Support advisor and followed the link to the page that tells you how to resolve the issues and chose to go into the registry and look for "In Progess". There was no "In Progress". I have the serial numbers for CS4 and CS6 so they should be valid given that both were purchased through the Adobe Store. I am very frustrated!!!!!!!!!
Installation Status:
Installation failed:
Adobe Advisor Results:
Regestry:

I downloaded and installed the Application manager and re-started the installation. This time it got to installiing the applications and after 3 hours it was only 55% completed and showing that it was installing Acrobat and had 2 hours to go. It seemed to be stuck so I cancelled the install.

Upgrading to CS6 returns: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product"

I have CS5 and have been using it for about 2 years. The Serial number for CS5 it is registered to my adobe id.
So i decided to upgrade to CS6 today. I then registered that to my adobe id as well.
When i open CS6 and enter my new serial number, it tells me:
Serial Number you provided is valid, but a qualifying product could not be found on this computer
Which is strange because CS5 is currently installed and running on this computer
So it then prompts me to select a previous product that I own and enter the serial number for that. So I select CS5 and enter the serial number for my CS5 license.
However, it then tells me: "This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another"
But it doesn't tell may any further details. I.e. Why is it not valid?
Can you help?
Thanks!

Brazzers234 is the serial number for CS5 also an upgrade? The upgrade process is looking for a full version serial number. You can determine what type of serial number is registered under your account at http://www.adobe.com/. For additional details please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
If you have verified that the CS5 serial number is a full version serial number or your previous full version serial number is still not accepted then please contact our support team directly at Contact Customer Care to verify the validity of the previous version serial number.

I'm confused - does it still make sense to upgrade to CS6 now?

Hi,
I wanted to switch from Mac to Windows in the near future and therefore upgrade from CS5 to CS6 (because apparantly it's not possible to switch my CS5 license to another OS).
Cloud version is a no-go for me, one reason is because I don't like monthly fees, I want to buy things and own them.
Now, with the CC versions announced and the discontinuation of the Creative Suite, I am not sure it even makes sense to upgrade to CS6 anymore? Would I invest in a more or less dead product?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm really confused about this.

Ok. nevermind. I decided to buy a new Mac and to continue using CS5 as long as possible while looking for alternative software.

Can I still upgrade to CS6

I'm setting up a replacement laptop and want to upgrade to CS6

Again, what do you mean by "upgrade link on the Adobe site"?
Are you talking about the link to buy CS6 as an upgrade from CS5? CS4 is totally out of the upgrade loop.
Or are you referencing a link to download the CS6 trial version?
The former is available at the Adobe Store simply by following the steps to purchase CS6. After clicking on Buy and selecting your platform, Mac or Win, in the next step you have a chance to select Upgrade from a dropdown menu. Remember you have to have a legitimate copy of CS5 to upgrade to CS6. CS4 does not qualify.
The trial version is also available at the Adobe site, but that's the one you really have to drill down to. That's why I suggested Google, e.g.:
https://www.google.com/search?q=repair+psd+file&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&channel=rcs&fp=74c7ae8e827 af690&q=download+photoshop+cs6+trial+version&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&safe=off
If you already had CS6 Photoshop 13.0.0 or even 13.0.4 for the Mac and wanted to update that, there is a direct download to the Photoshop CS6 13.0.5 update
http://download.cnet.com/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6/9241-2192_4-12694162.html?messageID=10871113
You can also use a FTP client (or your browser if it supports FTP) and download from the Adobe FTP server (ftp.adobe.com). The files are in /pub/adobe/cs6/downloads :
Windows (launch the .exe which will open the 7z file):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.7z
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.exe
Mac :
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.dmg
Previous versions are also available in /pub/adobe/photoshop/win and /pub/adobe/photoshop/mac
These folders are public so you don't need any identifier to connect.
