CS4 Student Standard

I am trying to run the cs4 student standard. A split second after it runs a system profile check and the serial entry window pops up I get "Adobe setup has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconveniance". I uninstalled my elements 5.0. I have run registry cleanups. I disable all background programs I can find. Even those via cntrl/alt/del that show any cpu activity. I ran numerous virus scans and spyware scans.  I ran the setup on a laptop running vista and I got past the hang up. I can't use that laptop for cs4 though because it was preinstalled with vista stock from Toshiba but it only has 1g of ram and a 2.0 single core. I know right. computer companies will do anything to make an extra couple bucks. It runs like crap and there is no way cs4 would run well on it. Here is the machine I am trying to install it on.
ASUS  M2N68-AM SE2
NVIDIA Geforce 9600 GT by BFG
AMD Athlon 64 2.5 dual core
2 gigs of Corsaire 1066mhz (even though the cpu only picks it up as 800mhz)
Windows XP Professional 2002 version w/service pack 3
I want to install it on my WD Caviar Black 32MB cache/7200 RPM 1TB hard drive(if that even matters) but I cant get far enough to choose the drive for install. I was able to get install going on another PC so I know it isnt a bad disc. I need this soon for school  and I can't seem to get any results from tech support. They actually had the nerve to tell me to upgrade to Windows 7. Sure maybe I should but I can't afford 7 now because I bought this and I want to make sure Microsoft works out all the bugs before I waste my money like I did Vista. The tech support people were cool and all but they couldnt help. I was hoping someone here may have seen this error before and can help. I have no previous versions of CS anything on here. Just Lightroom now. I doubt that is the issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I love Adobe products and this is the 1st problem I ever had that I could not fix. Its just seems kinda weird. I have been using PS and Elements and CS3 for a long time on other PCs ad would like to be able to use this quality product that I know it is.

I didn't think you buy the student edition anywhere but from a school. You'll need to call Adobe to find out what your next step is.

  • CS4 Design Standard doesn't qualify

    Hello,
    I am trying to upgrade from CS4 to CC for a special offer 36,89 euro per month. When I type in my SN the browser says that I don't qualify for the special membership plan.
    Could you help please? I don't have student version, or anything like that.
    Thanks!

  • Need to re-install CS4 student ed. No longer have serial number.

    Hi–
    I purchased CS4 Design Standard Student edition in 2010. The licensing is no longer functioning, and Acrobat Pro 9 is telling me it won't open unless I open a CS program. I still have the case and the coupon code for CS4, but I no longer have the serial number necessary for installation.
    I'm getting Error: 150:30

    Contact support by web chat. They may be able to find the serial number based on your registered studen credentials.

  • Upgrade from Cs4 Web standard to CS5 - only premium available?

    I have for the moment CS4 Web Standard software package from Adobe.
    But I noticed that there is no upgrade to CS5 Web Standard.    It seems there is only a Web Premium.
    May we expect that there will be a Standard upgrade also?
    Kind regards
    Martine

    John,
    That is not good news.  My CS4 Web Standard is also a Student Version. I'm no longer a student.
    So can I still upgrade by purchasing the Premium Upgrade.
    Or is there a possibility that I can upgrade the Dreamweaver component?
    Or is it also possible to install only Dreamweaver CS5 next to my CS4 package?
    Thanks for assisting me
    Kind regards

  • Questions about buying CS4 student edition

    I'm a college student and I would like to take advantage of the amazing price Adobe offers students on the CS4 design standard package.  I have some questions though:
    1. I'm not a design major.  Does that matter?  The only thing I see is that you have to be a college student - it doesn't specify that I need to be any particular major.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.

    No. You just have to be a student. Keep in mind the student version does not allow you to do commercial work with the applications. On the other hand in the US you are allowed to do commercial work with the educational version. both version can be upgraded to the next version with no restrictions.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.
    Yes, but only if you use them one at a time. You can't have your roommate working while you work. That would require 2 Licenses.

  • CS4 student licensing restrictions on commercial use?

    I have a question concerning using a student licensed CS4 for commercial purposes after one is out of school. I've just spent several hours researching this topic and talking to a service representative via the chat only to increase my confusion. Some posts say yes, some say no, some say no only to non-US users, some seem to say yes to education editions but no to student licensing versions (if there is a difference?), and the rep I talked to said no.
    So, to be safe, I'm asking here: can I use my Student Licensing CS4 Design Standard version to do commercial work with after I'm out of school? I bought it while in college legitimately, its the kind that you have to visit the student licensing web page on adobe.com in order to get the serial number for. However, I have seen multiple conflicting answers on the forums concerning this version. I do not know if "Student License" versions are the same as "Student Edition" versions, or "Education Edition" versions, or "Teacher Edition" versions, or if any of those last three are even actual versions.
    To be clear, the word "edition" does not appear at all on my CS4 Student Licensing package. The package cover art has a white background with a vertical line in the middle of it that is made up of red gradients.
    This question is from someone who both currently lives in, and bought the Student Licensing version of CS4 in, the United States. (2009)
    Thank you for your help!

    There are no restrictions against you using your student-licensed version of CS4 (either any of the suites or individual programs) for commercial work other than that you may not sell or otherwise transfer your license to anyone else.

  • Transferring CS4 Student License to a New Computer?

    I purchased a student license for CS4 Design Standard (Mac) in 2008. I recently got a new computer and want to transfer that license from my old computer to the new one (I have since graduated). Is it possible to do this, and if so, how?

    You do not need/want to transfer.  Just install it like you did originally.  If you need a download link try the following one:
    CS4 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    You are allowed to have two activated installations, so if you would like to retain a backup installation you can keep it on the old machine.  If you would rather disable/remove it from the old machine then you should be sure to deactivate it first (open any program and choose Help -> Deactivate)

  • How to install the CS4 design standard in Windows 7?

    I bought the CS4 design standard and install it in Win XP.
    Recently, I upgraded my OS to Win7.
    However, when I wanted to reinstall the CS4 design standard, it failed.
    So I tried just install one function of that design standard : Acrobat 9.0 Pro.
    That installation succeeded. But when I want to use it,
    it shows that I need to initiate with other CS4 functions, such as CS4 photoshop to make it work.
    Is anyone can help me? Thanks!

    Hi s2007,
    What was the error message that you encountered when you tried to install CS4?
    We might have to check the install logs for the installation failure.
    Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for information on how to review your installation logs
    You might also want to try the following steps:
    > Enable the hidden Admin Account on Windows 7 ( Ref :  http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ )
    > Disable all Non-Microsoft Startup Services. (Ref : http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/disable-startup-items-services-windows.html )
    > Disable all the Antivirus softwares like CA, Norton,Mc Afee etc. temporarily from the computer.
    Reboot and try installing in the new enabled Admin user account and check.

    I have reinstalled cs4 student edition afther a deactivation by adobe but can not veiw ORF or DNG files in bridge i am runing windows 7

    Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
    The way that works is this:
    1.  You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
    2.  You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
    3.  It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
    4.  You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
    While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

    Do you have your serial number(s)?
    You can download and install some version of CS4 from this site:
    http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
    Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set your Adobe authorization cookie.
    What I’m not sure is if the version downloaded from the above link will activate with student edition serial numbers or not.

  • CS4 Design standard Silent Install:  Start Menu Items

    Greetings!
    I've got everything working for a silent install of CS4 (Design Standard).  However, there seems to be an issue with creating the Start Menu Folders.
    My first try, I asked for all the shortcuts to be placed in a folder called "AdobeCS4."  Short and sweet.  After running the install, it created THREE folders.  The first, just called "Adobe" had the Media Player shortcut in it.  The second was the one that I'd asked for, AdobeCS4, and had the rest of the items in it, except for three.  The Third folder was named "Adobe Design Standard CS4", and had "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro", Acrobat Distiller 9, and Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2" in it.
    So, I re-set the install.xml file to NOT make my custom folder name, but just use the one called 'Adobe'.
    However, the acrobat side of things still won't play nice.  It looks like in the "suite.mst" in the Acrobat Payload folder specifically calls for the cumbersome "Adobe Design Standard CS4" folder.  I tried editing that file, and the install of Acrobat failed, so I assume that the files are checked before install to make sure they're not corrupted or something.
    Has anyone been able to make this (Acrobat Install) work properly, and have an install NOT bloat the start menu like crazy? How about the Adobe Media Player install?
    I've currently got the install working cleanly using a batch file to change some registry values (disable eula, adobe.com, etc), move the shortcuts, and delete the old folder, which works, but is really not how "software of this caliber" should work.
    Thanks for taking the time to read this, and hopefully answer!

  • Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?

    Before I install CS4 (design standard) do I need to manually or otherwise remove CS1 (the original Creative Suite)?
    I am using an iMac OS 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB, 800 MHz. AllI know is that you can't upgrade from CS1.
    I am in the misdt of several production projects and can't afford a mistake or down time. Thanks for any and all help.
    P.S. Is Snow Leopard compatiable with CS4?
    Thanks, Compositor Rick

    You can upgrade from CS1 to CS4. CS1 will be out of the upgrade path when CS5 is released.
    You don't need to remove CS1 it does not conflict with CS4. I have CS1 through CS4 installed and playing nicely together.
    CS4 is compatible but  I would stay with 10.5.8 until Apple gets most of the bugs worked out of Snow Leopard. that is usually about the 4th update.

  • CS4 web standard on pc, now using macbook.

    I have CS3 web standard and CS4 web standard upgrade. Both are boxed version and have serial numbers for PC. I'm now on a macbook pro. Could I get help on how to install the CS4 web standard suite on my macbook? Not sure if I can just Download CS4 for mac and use the serial number on the box. Problem is I can't even find the download for CS4 web standard. I see CS4 web premium, but not standard?

    As far as I know, a Win number will not work with a Mac version

  • CS4 Web Standard Install Error?

    Hi,
    Trying to install CS4 Web Standard from the disk on a Windows 7 32 bit system. I ran setup and it immediately started "Checking System Profile" but froze toward the end of the Initialization, after confirming that it was not going to finish out I canceled and closed the window. I started over and it did the same thing. The program shows in Programs and Features like it was installed but is not in Program Files.  I tried to uninstall through Programs and Features and I get an error that "Adobe has stopped working"! So I can't install it or uninstall what appears to be installed. There is nothing in Program files, there are registry entry's and files within the Common Files Folder but nothing that points to any .exe and the uninstall folder is empty. Has anyone run into this issue? I have snapshots but see no way to attach a word doc...I can email if needed.
    Thank,
    Mary
