CS3 to CS5 Design suite

I currently have CS3 suite and have been happy running it on my vista 64bit for a few years now. I have got to the stage where CS5 seems to have some tools I would like to try. Now my questions are:-
Now if I install a trial version of CS5 will it install over the top of CS3?
Or
Would it install side by side which is what I would prefer. Would any features of CS3 stop working e.g. bridge.
If I decided not to upgrade to CS5 would I have then to do a full install of CS3 again?
thanks

CS5 will install stand alone and won't touch CS3. But...the new apps will take over as the default for the operating system.
If you uninstall CS5 after the trial, you'll likely have to uninstall and reinstall CS3.

  • Re-Downloading CS5 Design Suite?

    Hello,
      I need some assistance for my download of the CS5 Design Standard Suite.  I downloaded the Suite from Adobe to my MacBook Pro in June of 2010. However, While trying to partition my hard drive in order to run Windows, I found out that I will need to re-install Snow Leopard the hard drive in order to actually partition the drive. This means that the Adobe Standard Suite will get wiped from my computer. I went onto the Adobe website to check my download history and it says that I have not downloaded anything from the website. However when I go to my Product Registration page it shows me that I have the serial numbers for both Adobe Design Standard and Adobe Acrobat Professional. My question is how do I re-download both of these onto my freshly wiped computer? Will I have to pay for them again or is there another option? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    If it is purchased directly from Adobe as a download,
    then you can redownload it under "View Order History"
    Just make sure that you log in using the email address that you used to purchase and download the software.

  • Adobe tool erases all CS5 design suite

    I used the CC cleaner tool to help me install a new programme.
    And it has erased my entire CS5 creative suite?
    @Adobe
    How can I get my programmes back? I cannot find the installation disk I used almost 4 years ago to reinstall!

    To v10.8.5 ?
    Check the Adobe site for Mac requirements.
    Only 10.5 and v10.6 here >  Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium: System Requirements

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design Premium??

    Hi there, I work for a small print company and we are in the process of upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design premium, the company has purchased a new Mac (runs Lion 10.7), our old Mac is on 10.4 and it has run CS2 upgrade, and a few years back we installed the CS3 upgrade. We have not installed any of the creative suite onto the new Mac and I am wondering can I just buy the CS5.5 upgrade and use the CS3 upgrade serial number when installing? Will this be enough?
    Or do I need to go back to the initial Creative Suite that the company brought from scratch and enter that serial number?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Just have the serial number from CS3 handy when you install.
    More good news for you. Starting today if you buy CS5.5 you get a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.

  • Upgrading Indesign from 'Design Premium' CS3 to CS5 - compatibility

    I work in-house in marketing; we're looking at upgrading two of our Adobe Design Premium CS3 suites to the CS5 version. We have four or five CS3 suite licenses but can only afford to upgrade two of them at present.
    My question is about the InDesign element - do we need to have the CS4 version in order to be able to effectively save down to a version that can be used between InDesign CS3 and CS5?
    I'm worried about compatibility internally and externally - we use a lot of freelance designers who mostly use CS5 - this is already causing issues as we cannot open the files they send.
    Any tips/hints you can give would be gratefully received!

    The ONLY way to get a file from CS5 to open in CS3 is to export from CS5 to.idml, open that in CS4, export from there to .inx, and open that in CS3. Ther esults won't look a whole lot like the original CS5 file, especially if any features were added in CS4 or CS5 have been used, and there may be noticable changes in text flow due to text engine differences between versions.
    Working in collaboration across different versions is a lousy workflow.

  • I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

    I lost my disk for cs5 creative suite 5.5 design premium but I have product code and a new computer I want to reinstall. What can I do?

    You can download the software from the website and then type in your old serial number to activate it... that is, IF the installer database will work with your operating system. I am having problems reinstalling CS4 with a new computer running on Win 8.1. When I called customer support, they told me a whole lot of nothing for 45 minutes and then directed me to a chat session. After about 30 minutes on chat, I was basically told they don't offer support for older products. The website says "no known issues" for installation... but that very well may be because they are unwilling to record the issues when someone calls to report them! Good luck with your install. I wish I had CS5 at this point, as it appears there is still support available for it... but you are on the bubble timewise for that to continue. Other downloads

  • Upgrading to CS5 Design Premium on iMac, can I still run CS3 Design Premium on MacG5 ?

    I have CS3 Design Premium on my G5 mac. I just bought an iMac and want to install CS5 Design Premium Upgrade in the iMac. After I install the CS5 Design Premium Upgrade, will I still be able to run the CS3 Design Premium on my G5? They are on the same network. These are the only two Mac's I own now. Thanks in advance. 

    Yes, but the upgrade is tied to the original version so they should be on the same machine (which in this case isn't really possible without removing it from one and installing it on the other).
    As I said, as long you only use one machine at a time, I think you can sleep at night knowing that you're within the spirit of EULA.

  • Can I use my old Design Suite CS5 on my new MacBook Pro?

    I bought the Design Suite CS5 two, three years ago and now I have bought a new MacBook Pro. I've heard that I cannot use the programs that I bought, and that I now have to start subscribing to the programs using Creative Cloud. Is this true?

    Absolutely untrue.  Download, install, and activate your software from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
    Deactivate the software on your old computer if you don't use it any more.

  • Reinstalling Adobe Design Suite CS3 on a New MacPowerBook - missing components?

    I have just replaced my old MacPowerBook (circa 2009) with a new MacPowerbook. Both are running the same OS 10.9.2. Design suite runs on the old powerbook, but it is failing
    and needed to be retired.  Transfer of my licensed CS3 design suite will not run after application transfe with an apparent license failure. Instructions in the warning window says to Says to uninstall and reinstall.  Reinstallation from the Master Installation disk fails with an error messages which says components are missing but does not tell me which components are missing.  Downloading installation files from Adobe's site gives the same error message (components missing). How do I identify the missing components

  • I bought a CS5 creative suite design standard on the company of my husband 2 years ago. Is it possible to transfer the licence to another company? Is the transfer 'free' of charges of is there a price to pay with a transfer?

    Hi grietbelg,
    Please see Transfer an Adobe product license for information about transferring your CS5 license to another company. I don't believe that there is a fee involved--but both parties need to complete some paperwork, as outlined in that document.
    Best,

  • CS3 freezes at Adobe Design Suite window upon loading

    All of a sudden on both my macs running OSX 10.7.5, I can't load any of my CS3 programs. My computer keeps freezing on the window titled "Adobe Design Suite Standard CS3". The window below is blank and the only active button is the yellow one, not the red or green. I have tried restarting several times to no avail. Anybody know what is happening? Should I try reinstalling the entire suite on both my computers? Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi KJess,
    Did you install any new updates that might have caused this? When was the last time that it was working fine?
    Try launching the app in Mac's safe mode and check.
    Are you not able to launch any of the application from the Design standard Suite?
    In case you still face issues consider removing the program and reloading it,

  • How does Dreamweaver CS4 work with CS3 Design Suite?

    I am looking to purchase Dreamweaver on my computer however I currently have the CS3 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator installed on my computer. Will the DW CS4 version work if the rest of my Design Suite is CS3 or should I look to purchase CS3 if available?  Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Dreamweaver 3 will open a file in Photoshop, so DW CS4 should do the same. I think you might have problems with Adobe's Bridge. And it's possible that DW CS4 might decide that previous versions of Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop or Illustrator are not supported. So workflows may be a little more disjointed.
    So the real question will be: Do the advantages of DW CS4 outweigh possible hurdles in workflow?
    I will frequently open and replace graphic images using Photoshop without Dreamweaver open and, when I open the website, everything falls into place. I did that for a number of color changes and I worked exclusively in Photoshop for the first part of my day, replacing colors that were designed to be part of the website with the client's specific pick. I tend to save graphics as .PSD files and then use Photoshop's Export to Web and in CS3, Photoshop will remember two different paths for a Save (PSD) and a Save to Web.
