CS4 Creative Suite update re install

I have Creative Suite cs4. It is an upgrade as I had CS3 as well. I installed CS4 onto my PC and all went well. My PC then packed up and I had to buy a new one. I went to install CS4 onto my new PC but had lost the serial number for CS3 which is needed to install an upgrade. I contacted Adobe support by phone and explained my plight. They talked me through what to do and everything worked well. Now a few years on After effects has lost Fractal noise and other plugins that shipped with it. The only plugins left are CC ones. I ask a question on After Effects forum and the upshot was to re install CS4. If I do this I do not have the serial number from CS3 and Adobe no longer seem to give phone support anymore. Any help with this is much appreciated.

You can still produce the required activation codes, even if support is mostly by web chat these days... Simply try.

CS4 Creative Suite Standard Install Discs/Download?

So unfortunately my macbook's harddrive just crashed, and with it many photos and applications, including my whole adobe CS4 creative suite standard (student edition). My problem is that I no longer have the original install discs because my beloved roommate threw the box out. Also a problem, I cannot even think about upgrading to CS5 (don't really want to) because I am still on OS X10.4 (Tiger). I have tracked down my serial number through adobe's support (muchos gracias), but have no way of getting ahold of a complete CS4 creative suite standard install discs/download. I have tracked down a friend's CS4 Photoshop install discs (but that doesn't work with my serial #) as well as another friend's CS4 creative suite premium install discs (also doesn't work with my serial #)... Is there anything I can do to get a download or install discs of the programs from adobe? I only use/need photoshop and bridge, but really need them seeing as I am a ski photographer who is trying to finish up my last edits for winter submissions...

Acrobat Pro doesn't recognize CS4 Creative Suite serial #

I've installed the CS4 creative suite and now acrobat doesn't recognize the serial #. All other apps are fine and working properly. Also running 10.4.11 OS. Any suggestions would be great, so thanks in advance.

If you replace Acrobat with the one from creative suites you'll have to use that serial number. you'll have topen a Creative suite item first then try to open Acrobat.
what you should have done if you had Acrobat already installed, was done a custom install of Creative Suites and installed everything except your previously installed Acrobat.
To fix it you''ll have to remove acrobat completely. Then you have to put the CS Disk back in. and reinstall Acrobat only . Then it should recognize CS serial Number.

Will Lightroom 2 be bundled with any CS4 Creative Suites

I am about to purchase Lightroom 2 but now that the CS4 Creative Suites have been announced I'm wondering if it will be available as part of one of them. There is already a bundle with PS CS3 and LR2 so it would make sense for there to be another offer.
When CS4 suites come out I will be upgrading from CS3 Design Premium and obviously I won't be impressed if I purchase LR2 now and then find out I could have saved money geting it in a Suite.
On a similar topic why is the Australian cost of the digital download so much more than the US digital download and can I purchase from the US Adobe store?
Thanks

Some do read these forums. They generally don't respond to the type of

You can install on as many machines as you like. Of those machines you can only have two of them activated at a time. Of those two machines you can only be using one of them at any given time.

My laptop died. I am trying to reload CS4 Creative Suite. I have the serial number of the original program but it also asks for a serial number for an update. I'm happy with just the original. How can I load it?

My PowerBook had Adobe Creative Suite 4 on it before it died. I had to have a new hard drive and ram disks installed. Now I can't reload the Creative Suite. How can I do it? I don't really need to upgrade for my purposes.

I must admit I am not very computer savvy. I'm 81 and probably will
not pursue my work much longer. I have published and helped publish
self-published books for individual writers and companies since 1995.
I simply cannot, nor do I want to, afford to buy a CS4 upgrade, even
at the reduce price of $600 they offered. My wife has been handicapped
since have strokes in 2006 and later years. I can live without it if I
have to. However, I paid for it and hoped I could get it on the
laptop. You may be right about them asking for a serial number of an
older version, which as I said, I don't have.

Adobe CS4 Creative Suite Web Edition and Flash CS5 Crashing Problems

Hi, just a simple question;
I have a Windows XP Pro x64 & x86 Machine which both have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 and Adobe Flash CS5 installed onto.
The problem i have is that when i install Flash CS5 onto the machine which already has Adobe Creative Suite CS4 is breaks basically, Flash CS5 keeps crashing, even if just creating something simple like a box with colour in it.
I have installed every update available for both products and this still does not rectify the problem. Ive read numerous articles about fonts, hotfixes, updates etc etc etc.
None of the forums has an asnwer to this. I would post an error report but as the machines crash im unable to gather this information.
This is a big problem for us as we use this in industry and we need to resolve this asap, no point paying for products if they cant work together, my theory is something to do with shared libraries which both products use, i could be wrong, but this is what im left to think is wrong.
Has anyone else had this same problem, if so, whats the answer to rectify this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the lack of information provided, i would post more but cant gather extra information whats causing this.

I'm using CS3/CS4/CS5 and a standalone After effects CS5.5 here side by side without issues - on Vista 64. Can't tell you much specific about Flash, though, since I use it too rarely. Bridge may have a temper, but most of these "issues" relate to Mini-Bridge in Photoshop CS5, which nobody forces you to use and people being unhappy with thinbgs like contact sheets or PDF catalogs having moved to Bridge ratehr than still being PS scripts. So from where I stand, these are non-issues. Of course you'll have to live with the fact that things like browsing in Bridge or editing originals are always wired in such a way as to use the latest version of a suite, which might cause compatibility issues when e.g. trying to invoke Bridge in CS4 to browse something, which will then launch Bridge CS5. None of this is unresolvable, though, and mostly requires editing Bridge prefs and your system's fiel association handling... With regards to your otehr issues, I realyl recommend you give Process Explorer a spin. if this happens even on fresh system installs, the most likely cause is some missing DLL, which you also can only find out this way. A blindfire approach to this problem would be to simply install any .NET and MSVC runtime you can get a hold of and similar stuff, but this might only add unnecessary files and still miss the one that you would need...

I can't get my creative suite 4 to install on new hard drive

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 several years ago and installed it on my laptop. I am still using the same laptop however I recently had them install a new harddrive. I didn't think about losing my programs they said they'd just put my stuff on an external harddrive and I could just move it over to this one. When I tried to move photoshop over it gives me error 6. I talked to someone from adobe and they said they could help me if I had the serial numbers. I have moved several times since then so I didn't currently have the discs but I was able to find the discs, along with the serial number. I tried to install the discs last night and my computer won't recognize them, it says they are blank discs. These are the same ones I originally installed the programs with, they haven't been touched since. My cd drive works fine with any other cd I put in it. Ugh what can I do? I spent a lot of money on this program I can't afford to buy it again.

WolfQU2 please see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 and http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html for information on how to download a fresh copy of the installation files for Creative Suite 4.

CS4 Creative Suite Installation Error

Hello,
I am trying to install just the photoshop from the creative suite 4 (design premium) onto my windows 7 computer. The computer i'm installing it onto already has the illustrator, dreamweaver, indesign etc already installed from this suite (this was installed 1-2 years ago). At the time I installed these I had just photoshop 5 on the computer so didn't install the photoshop 4 from the suite. I have now uninstalled the photoshop 5 and put it onto a different computer. I now want to install the CS4 photoshop from the suite onto the computer with illustrator etc. I start the installation (just for photoshop from the suite) and it gets about 3/4 of the way through the first disc when an error message appears (see attached image). It says that the error is AdobeColorCommonSetRGB, Error: Error 2. I would prefer not to have to uninstall the entrie suite just to install the photoshop section of the creative suite, but will do this if required. I think I have completely unistalled the photoshop 5, but is there any way this may be preventing the cs4 photoshop from installing properly?
Thanks,
Shannon

I would run the Adobe Cleaner Tool

Then reboot. Then reinstall.

CS3/CS4 Creative Suites Web Premium installation conflicts

Scenario: I installed Creative Suite CS4 Web Premium using Windows XP Pro with SP3 and all the required computer specifications while I still had Creative Suite CS3 Web Premium on the computer. All went well for a while and then Flash CS3 started acting up by not being able to close the program without using Task Manager. I decided to uninstall Flash CS3 (deactivated it first) and tried reinstalling it.
Problem: I haven't been able to reinstall it. It seems that CS3 and CS4 use the same Shared Components and when the reinstall is completed, the install report shows that Flash CS3 was not installed as well as several Shared Components of CS4. During the reinstall of Flash CS3, the install occasionally asks for the CS4 disk, so I remove the CS3 disk from my primary DVD drive, insert the CS4 disk, click OK and then it asks for the CS3 disk again (ok, that's fine). At the end of the reinstall, the install report says the the shared components failed because the reinstall was looking for the CS4 shared components on my secondary DVD drive. So I then put the CS3 disk again in my primary DVD drive and put the CS4 disk in my secondary DVD drive and tried the reinstall again. It failed again and the report now says its looking for the CS4 shared components in my primary DVD drive.
Does anyone know what is going on here? Thank you for any help you may be able to supply.
You might ask why I don't just move completely to CS4 and the reason is that I'm trying to finish a project started in CS3. I could move completely to CS4, but I should be able to have both programs on my computer. At least, I would think so.
