CS3 Upgrade to CS5 Upgrade?

We currently have CS3 upgrade from CS1. Does that still qualify for the CS5 Upgrade from CS3?

Uninstalling CS3 after installing CS5 upgrade

Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 after installing a new copy of CS5 upgrade? For the sake of not eating up storage space? Or does CS5 depend on files CS3 has already in place? I'd like to get Bridge CS3 off my computer since Bridge CS5 is now installed. And CS3 is not appearing in the Add/Remove dialog in Control Panel (Win XP Pro)

Please read this and this. In short: Attempting to remove older versions after the fact is ill advised. It's calling for trouble, especailyl with the fragile CS3 installers. Read the articles and obey proper procedures. Otherwise jsut leave the old version in place.

Upgrading Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6

My base full version is CS4. Bought CS5 upgrade in 2013 and would like to upgrade to CS6.
Is this possible?
Could be that only the full version of CS5 (i.e. being the 'base'-version) can be upgraded..?
Can't find any info on that.
Thanks

CS4 and CS5 are both registered versions…
Well those trial versions only last for 30 days. They are totally irrelevant to this discussion. They would have done you absolutely no good for anything.
As I wrote above:
ALL Adobe upgrades are FULL INSTALLERS. They do not need to find a previous version installed at all. If they don't, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number of the qualifying version and the new one.
Your prior versions remain untouched, totally ignored when you install the upgrade.

Upgraded to CS5, now can't publish pages.

I upgraded to CS5 from CS3 and am now getting the error "either the network is unavailable or you don't have permission to publish to this location". Any ideas?

I confirmed that my client could ftp to our server from her machine. Basically checked off all the things they suggested doing on their support page. I ended up calling support. I had wanted to do a conference call with my client as they are in a different community than I am but could not get a hold of her. The support person had me check a couple of things on my end ie. ftp using my clients log in credentials and add/modify/delete folders on the server which I was able to. The support person wanted to try ftp’ing to our server but I told them they couldn’t because it’s behind a firewall. Our clients are internal and therefore can access our server with the correct credentials.
Later on the support person contacted my client directly and suggested that she download the trial version of CS5 and install it on a different machine (she had CS3 and upgraded to CS5 on her computer). She tried, much to my disappointment to tell my client that there was an issue with her connecting to our server because she (the support person) could not connect even after I told her she wouldn’t be able to.
So, my client did install the trial version of CS5 on another machine and it worked. I started thinking either there was something messed up on her machine or it was a bad install. Since she had a copy of CS3 I got her to uninstall Contribute, re-install CS3 and the CS5 upgrade and it worked.
Have you tried ftp’ing to your server using the same credentials as what are stored in Contribute using a command prompt or another application like CuteFTP? And you confirmed that you can add/modify/delete folders while ftp’d onto the server? Has your CS5.0 ever worked i.e. did you have it installed on a different machine and it worked? Can you uninstall Contribute 5.0 and download the trial and see if it works?
Sorry! I’m just trying to think of things to get you going. I know it’s frustrating. I’ve definitely been there! The support person I had talked to was actually pretty good. She emailed and called us at our convenience. It’s unfortunate that I was expecting to have experience similar to yours.

Help installing CS5 upgrade on a new PC please

I have a new PC running Windows 7 x64 Pro and want to transfer CS5 from my old machine. This was installed using CS5 upgrade, my previous version being CS2 upgrade and before that I was using a full copy of PS6. I still have all the discs and licences. Should I install again starting from PS6, then CS2 upgrade, then CS5 upgrade? Does anyone know if Windows 7 x64 will install the now-ancient PS6? Or is there another way? I want to get it right first time, having suffered a corrupted identity on my old XP machine, which I never managed to fix.
Thanks.

Hi, You don't have to install all the previous versions.
You just have to install CS 5 and then you will be prompted for serial number for the same and then it will ask the serial number for the previous version (CS2)
You should be able to then install successfully.

Do I need to install CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit before installing CS5 Upgrade?

I am replacing a graphic designer's Windows Vista laptop with a Dell Precision T5500 desktop. Do I need to uninstall CS3 from the laptop and decommission the serial number? Then do I need to install CS3 on the new desktop before installing the CS5 upgrade? I was told I needed to decommission the installation, but I don't remember having to do that with other installations. Thanks in advance!

You should definetly deactivate any software before uninstalling. But you don't have to install CS3 in order to install CS5. Just have the serial number handy for verification. That said, depending upon the user's needs, you might want to leave CS3 available.

I own Photoshop CS3, how can I upgrade to CS5 (or even CS6)?

As I say in the title, I own Photoshop CS3 and I heard you could upgrade to CS5 or CS6 from that version. I've looked online and I can't find anything, either the links are broken or they bring me to an irrelevant page.
If anyone has any insight please help me!
P.S., the hoops one has to go through just to ask this question... I am quite lost.
Thank you for your help!
Chloe
EDIT: I am using a Windows computer, by the way. Windows 8.

There are no longer any upgrades from CS3 to any later versions of Photoshop. CS3 is too old to qualify.
As a CS3 owner, you can however get a discounted monthly fee for the Cloud version. The discount lasts for 12 months. Then it's back to the regular monthly fee.

Can I upgrade from CS3 directly to CS5 or 5.5?

Or do I need to buy CS4?

Not sure which product you have (suite or standalone), but they all have different upgrade prices depending on which version you already own. You can upgrade directly from CS3 to CS5. It'll be more expensive than the CS4 to CS5 upgrade, but cheaper than upgrading to CS4 first, then to CS5. The last option would assume that you can even find a copy of CS4 to purchase.

I had to buy a new computer and now can't get my CS3 with CS5 upgrade to work on windows 8.1. What can I do to get them to load and work?

I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?

Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

Upgraded to CS5 Illustrator form CS3 Illustrator. Colors are not printing correctly in CS5

I have just recently purchased CS5 Premium Suite. I am working with Illustrator. When I print my CS3 Illustrator files in CS5 the colors are not printing correctly. Is there a way to fix this problem

I've been doing more troubleshooting since I wrote this post. I've now tried printing from a non-Adobe app and I'm getting the same margin error. So it is definitely a Xerox issue and I have a tech coming out on Monday.
The reason I originally figured it must be an CS5 issue is because just two weeks ago when I was using CS2, our landscape-oriented programs were printing with .25" margins as they should. Then last week after upgrading to CS5, the inside page (2nd page) was noticeably out of whack and shifted to the right (not left). But when I started trying to troubleshoot this week, everything started shifting to the left.
The only thing different between those two weeks was the fact I updated to CS5.
But obviously, my printer as decided to go to crap in more ways than one all in a two week period. Hopefully the tech can sort it out next Monday.
Thanks!

Photoshop CS3 Extended upgrade to CS5?

Tried asking the online chat to answer this simple question . . . the person really didn't understand what I was asking.
So here it goes, the complex question of —
Will a regular CS5 upgrade work for a CS3 Photoshop Extended version or not?

Mylenium,
It was purchased from a big box store the US (years ago) and has a sticker on it saying "Only for distribution in North America."
It is for use in America, and so is my SC3 Extended version currently installed on my computer.
Both versions are for the Mac OS.
The system requirements are not of importance since my computer meets them all. The upgrade box says nothing about "CS3 or up."
The only mention of an upgrade on the entire box is on the side stating — "UPGRADE from an relier version. To install this upgrade version, you must have an eligible earlier version of this product. Before opening this package, check with your reseller about its return policy and your upgrade eligibility, or visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo for eligibility information."
So, here I am, trying a webpage that doesn't exist anymore and trying to find answers here . . . . .
Will this normal, regular, run-of-the-mill CS5 Photoshop upgrade work on a CS3 Extended version?
Is Photoshop CS3 Extended an "eligible earlier version of this product" for the CS5 upgrade?

CS3 to CS5 upgrade

I need to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium to CS5. Adobe no longer directly sells this upgrade so I am forced to use resellers.
Question 1) I have read posts that there IS a difference between a CS3 to CS5 upgrade versus a CS4 to CS5 upgrade. But, I have received conflicting opinions from Adobe via customer service. Is there still a difference between the upgrade packages?
Question 2) Many of the resellers do not specify the difference (if there is one). Is there any way to be assured of which version? Does it say on the box? The difference in price makes this a rather important question.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Adobe-Creative-Suite-v.5.0-Design-Premium-Upgrade-Version-Mac/15 172780
Thankful for any advice.

That deal is for the the CS4 to CS5 upgrade and will not work for you.
Here's a CS3 to CS5: http://t.co/xtxaKI0
Note that you may be able to get a free upgrade to CS5.5 if you hurry: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html
Hope that helps

Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

Hi everyone,
I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5. I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2. I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
Link to product on Staples site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
Your help is greatly appeciated!
Thanks!
J

The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.

Looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3

HI everyone! I'm looking to upgrade to CS5 from CS3 Master Collection. Is there an easy way of doing this? I have zero interest in anything cloud related or CS6. thanks so much in advance!

As said by Brett already, you can no longer get CS5 or below from Adobe.
If by any chance, you make your mind to get CS6, Here is where you can get it. Creative Suite 6
Cheers!
