CS4 Design Premium upgrade question

I'm looking to upgrade my CS4 to 6. Right now I don't want to upgrade the entire software. Does Adobe offer an option to upgrade Dreamweaver within the CS4 Premium program? Meaning individually vs. all?

Unfortunately not.
Suites can only be upgraded to suites.
Your options are:
upgrade CS4 Design Premium to any CS6 Creative Suite (by 31 Dec 2012 or lose any future upgrade eligibility), or
subscribe to the Creative Cloud (by 31 Aug 2012 for special introductory pricing)

Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component? 
No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult the upgrade eligibility chart on that product's buying guide page.
Bear in mind:
Adobe has introduced a one-version-back policy with CS6 so, as a CS4 user, you must upgrade to CS6 before 31 Dec 2012 in order to be eligible for upgrade pricing to CS7
The clock is ticking. As a CS4 user, you have until 31 Dec 2012 to upgrade to CS6. After that you pay full price (or join the Cloud).

  • Student CS4 Design Premium Upgrade to CS5

    Perhaps I am prematurely worrying about this...
    I purchased the Student Edition of CS4 Design Premium (Mac) a week ago; I registered my copy and even received the free gift from Adobe. I was wondering, when CS5 comes out, will I be able to simply purchase an upgrade, or will I have to purchase a full version? I will have probably graduated by the time a new suite comes out, so I will no longer be eligible for student products.
    I searched and searched the forums for an answer, but only found questions regarding upgrades in relation to the Academic Version, not the Student Edition.

    > Perhaps I am prematurely worrying about this
    You are. That said, as long as nothing changes, yes, you'll be able to
    upgrade.

  • CS4 Design premium installation questions

    I have the student edition of CS4 design premium.  I have gone through the process of obtaining a serial number and am ready to intall, but I have some questions.
    One, I have been using trial downloads of Dreamweaver CS4 and Photoshop CS4 to try to learn the basic of using these two programs.  The Dreamweaver trial period expires today.  Should I uninstall my two trial downloads before trying to install the entire suite from the disks, or can I just put my serial number into the appropriate place for these two programs and then proceed to install the others from my disks?
    Two, the set of disks I received (ordered through some third party supplier via Amazon) came with absolutely no instructions, manual or information about installing.  There are three disks (labelled Content, Application 1, and Application 2) and an additional Learning Creative Suite 4 disk which doesn't seem to contain anything at all about installation.  How do I know which one of the three main disks to start with for installation?

    You cannot use the serial number for the student version of the suite (or any other version of the suite for that matter) on any individual programs. Totally uninstall those programs. Then install the suite starting with the Application 1 DVD. When prompted to, enter the serial number you were provided with. The install process will at some point request that you replace Application 1 DVD with Application 2 DVD. The content of the "Content" and "Learning" DVDs is optional and you can copy those to wherever you like on your file system.
    Your "third party supplier via Amazon" should have provided instructions to you.

  • Where can I buy CS4 Design Premium Upgrade, Mac?

    I need to buy it and I cant find it ANYWHERE. Please!! Im running 10.4.11 and cant afford a new computer.

    You waited too long. There's usually some older stock floating around after a new version comes out, but they've pretty well dried up by now.

  • CS3 Web Standard to CS4 Design Premium

    Hi All,
    I'm having problems trying to install CS3 Web Standard and CS4 Design Premium.
    I bought CS 3 Web Standard Upgrade Version and CS4 Design Premium Upgrade, to update my old CS2 Standard.
    My question is:
    Can I install CS4 Upgrade If I don't have CS3 Upgrade on my computer?
    I have both serial numbers with CD's and everything.
    I asked this question to the person I bought it from and he's email answer was:
    "Heres a quick guide for the installation:
    You don't have to install Web Standard in order to install CS4.
    The installation starts with inserting the first CD of CS4 upgrade.
    Installation process will begin and installer will prompt for password.
    Enter the CS4 password. The installer will accept it and recognize that you have upgrade , and will ask the previous (CS3) serial number.
    Enter the CS3 Web Standard serial number and installer will continue normally.
    that's all"
    Does that makes sense to you?
    I haven't open the CS4 box yet, since I want to make sure is going to work.
    Thanks for your answers.
    regards,
    Alex

    I don't think you can use the same package to upgrade both programs. Once, you have upgraded the package of CS 3, you no longer have the rights to it. But you may be able to use CS 4 Web to purchase CS 4 Design (but I don't know call customer service). It might be cheaper to purchase the Master Collection upgrade again call Customer Service, they always want to help someone that wants to buy an Adobe product

  • Upgrading CS4 Design Premium to CS5.5 Design Standard

    Hi.
    I'm currently running the CS4 Design Premium software on my mac, but I want to upgrade to the latest software while I can still get the education price.
    This time, however, I think I will get CS5.5 Design Standard rather than Design Premium to save money as I don't use Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks as often as I do the other programs.
    So, my question is: If I upgrade Bridge, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to CS5.5, and Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks stay as CS4 versions, will this cause problems, or will they still be fine to use together?
    Thanks.

    My understanding of educational pricing is that it works for the first purchase of a Creative Suite product. Adobe is very generous because it lets you keep the product after you leave school.
    However, there is no such thing as an educational upgrade price. If you want to upgrade your software, you pay the same price as everyone else. Upgrade pricing show shown on the Adobe website. (It's much too complicated for me to remember pricing for all the various upgrades.)

  • Upgrade CS4 design premium to CS5.5 standard, what happens with my web apps?

    Hi,
    I'm planning to upgrade my CS4 design premium to CS5.5 design standard, but I still like to use Dreamweaver from the CS4. Does anyone know if this is possible. I've chatted with an Adobe sales employe who said I can only upgrade to CS5.5 design premium in order to keep using dreamweaver but I read that other people are using different versions of CS simultanously on 1 computer. Any thoughts?
    Thanks alot!

    I respectfully disagree. The license includes a stipulation that you can continue to use the earlier version during a transition period. There is no set time limit there. I have CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 installed.

  • I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking first, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it. What can I do??

    I may have totally screwed myself but...after installing Yosemite without checking for potential problems with Adobe software, my CS4 Design Premium suite wouldn't open. So after consulting some forums, I deinstalled it, but I only have disks for my old CS3. When I got the CS4 upgrade I downloaded it, back in 2011... What can I do?? Everything was fine before I upgraded that *#$%* Yosemite.

  • 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.  

  • Possible or not upgrade PC version CS4 Design Premium to Apple Mac version

    I have a big problem. Last year I bought a CS4 Design Premium package for the PC. However, I am switching systems to Apple (iMac) in a month and my CS4 for the PC won't work on an Apple Mac system. Buying new photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign is more expensive than I can afford. Is there a way to change or upgrade from PC to Mac? I hope anyone can help me.
    Kind regards
    Marjolein

    Yes its called a Cross-Grade. You need to call Sales dept at Adobe There may or may not be some fee involved. Most software companies allow it. You may be asked to Destroy your PC Disk. Or
    You and buy Parallels for your new Mac then install windows on the Parallels Partition (if you already have a Separate Windows install DVD). To get up and running if you don't have a packaged version (not OEM) of windows would be buy buy the cross Grade. If you have a Packaged version of Office laying around then buying Parallels for the Mac would be cheaper.

  • Upgrade version acrobat from cs4 design premium

    Please, we have the product cs4 Design Premium and need upgrade to last version Adobe Acrobat XI, it is possible?

    Not from Design Premium CS4, no.
    As Mylenium says, you can only upgrade a suite to another suite. You cannot upgrade the individual components of a suite (in your case just Acrobat).
    Your options:
    Upgrade your Design Premium CS4 to any CS6 Suite before 31 Dec 2012.
    After that you will lose all upgrade options due to Adobe's new "one version back" upgrade policy which takes full effect from 1 Jan 2013.

  • Upgrade Adobe CS4 Design Premium to CS 6

    Hello,
    I bought an Adobe CS4 Design Premium liecense for windows and I want to upgrade it to CS6 on Mac.
    How can I do this and what are the costs ?
    Thank you.
    Robert KRISTOF

    You don't. You missed your deadlines. You can only buy a fresh CS6 license.

  • CS4 Design Premium Education Version upgrade to CS6 Design & Web Premium

    Can I upgrade my CS4 Design Premium Education version to CS6 Design & Web Premium - likely an Education version also?
    What is the cost?
    What is the best upgrade option (not including CC)?

    a) Edu versions can only be upgraded to commercial versions, but you missed the CS4 upgrade deadline which eneded December last year.
    b) If you are still eligible for edu pricing it's rirrelevant - you simply buy a completely new licenses at the discounted price.

  • Upgrading CS4 Design Premium to CS5

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased Adobe CS4 Design Premium with the free upgrade to CS5 Design Premium. I'm using a Mac Pro (2.66Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon). CS4 is currently loaded, but I'm holding off loading my copy of the CS5 upgrade until I've read whether there are any known issues to consider (I also have some important work to finish before I start dabbling). Have any of you taken the plunge already?
    Is there anything I should be aware of with this system set-up?
    Should I uninstall CS4 before loading CS5?
    Should I first upgrade the Mac OS to 10.6.3?
    Will upgrading the OS to 10.6.3 affect CS4 if I leave it on the computer?
    Any suggestions from graphic design professionals would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom,
    We have exactly the same spec, 2.8 8 cores and 30" LCD's.
    I also got the free upgrade. I've still got CS3 and CS4 loaded, so if you get a problem with something in CS5 you just open in CS4.
    All that happens is that documents will open in the latest version when double clicked. You have to right click and open in a lower version if you choose.
    Bear in mind though that things created in a later version cannot be opened in a higher version! esp Indesign, Illustrator, Flash etc.
    I'm using CS5 everyday, the normal stuff we use every day works fine, no problems and nothing will hinder your work. Obviously there is loads of stuff in the apps which we haven't even looked at or used yet because of time.
    Few kinks are:
    Indesign - by default it has all the new measurement and guide lines turned on, they annoyed me so I turned them all off. A bug is that you can't turn off the new frame highlighting but Adobe are aware of this and it's discussed on their forums. Everything else, including all menu items seem to be in the same place.
    If you are exporting a big pdf, it seems very very quick but this is because it has background processing now. If you try to close the document straight after saving the pdf, it will come up with a note saying 'process in action' or something. Good feature if you want to carry on working.
    Also, remember to change the preflight settings to include RGB images and colour as it's not on by default.
    Indesign also forgets page window sizes so if you had two documents open side by side, next time you open them it's forgotten this whereas CS3 used to remember. THis is a bug.
    Illustrator - Same as Indesign, you may want to turn off all the stuff you don't need in preferences, remember to turn on scale stroke widths etc because its off by default. In Illustrator you CAN turn off frame highlighting (shows a different team works on this!). And they STILL have not added a shortcut to place an item!
    Photoshop - All more or less the sae for day to day use. It is faster when running on a 64 bit Mac. Loads of new features, but the ones we are used to are still there, and where you expect them to be.
    Dreamweaver - This is the one with flaws. It forgets ftp login details and the new live site view has problems. If you open a file up it can hang for ages if you have used a direct link to the jquery site for the code, (you need to keep code locally, better practice anyway), and if you use live site, it has a big flaw with the related files. If you hover over them you'll see it thinks some are in the wrong folder. If you try to edit them it says it doesn't exist, but this is because its looking in the wrong ftp folder! You have to manually open it, which kind of makes related files redundant.
    Away from the live site feature general web updates and static sites etc is the same, the UI is now consistant with the other apps, its just the ftp details being loss each time on relaunch that is annoying.
    On all apps, by default they have a pointless application bar which uses space, I turned this off.
    There may be others which I havn't come across yet, but I use it daily, there isn't anything which should stop you installing as far as I'm concerned.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers
