Cs4 to cs4 upgrade

hello everyone.
ive got photoshop cs4 and i just want to know if i can upgrade to cs4 extended rather than buy the cs4 extended full edition.
thanks
phil

I don't think it was possible with cs3. you'd have to call customer service to ask if they'll allow it with cs4. because adobe's becoming so much more lenient with it's paying customers.

  • Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number

    Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

  • Can I Move CS3 Setups to CS4 When I Upgrade

    I was wondering if it's possible to move brushes and other setups I've done in CS3 to CS4 once I upgrade. I've tried several ways of searching to see if this has been asked before but I didn't find anything.
    Regards,
    Dennis

    So this is getting frustrating. I reply to the post but I don't see anything added. So let's try this for a third and final time before I throw in the towel.
    Dave: I went into CS3 to unload my Actions and my Brushes but ran into some difficulties finding the method to do it. I did see in the Action palette where I could Save and Load but when I tried to Save I got an Invalid Filename message. I never did find the brush palette (I'm fairly new to PS and I'm still learning where everything is). I usualy hit "B" and use the tools bar for my brushes. How do you get to the Brush palette disply.
    Regards,
    Dennis
    Again ... if you saw this message two other times I apologize for the redundancy.

    Jacob,
    You are genius! I search all over the net and had a long chat with Apple without success. 30 minutes after posting the Abobe Illustrator forum, I have a link that works!! Many thanks.

  • CS4 Master Collection Upgrade-Uninstall CS3 Master?

    I am wondering if when I receive my Master Collection Upgrade, whether I need to uninstall my CS3 Master Collection. I want to research this in advance, to be sure I don't go through the mess I did when installing the CS3 Master Collection.
    I realize I may have to give my serial etc for the CS4 to take, and that's no problem, but I have read reports around the net of CS3 left remaining intact on the computer, or conflicts arising.
    Can anyone advise on the best way to do this upgrade?
    I am on Vista Ultimate....not sure it's so Ultimate :|
    Thank you for any advice in advance. :)
    Ana R

    The only program which conflicts is Acrobat and the CS4 installer will remove that anyway. So you can leave CS3 installed.

  • Hi there, i want to buy a registered version of PS CS4 (and an Upgrade to CS6)from a private Person...is there any Possibility to check if the Adobe ID,Licence,User is a real person...or a fake before buying it? Thanks for helping!

    Hi,
    just got an offer from a private Person, who owns a boxed Version of Photoshop CS4 (DVD) and an Upgrade from CS4 to CS6....he told me that he can transfer the current license to me... now there's one important question for me...
    Is there any possibility to check his Adobe-ID (which he already told me) if it's the same adress, name,etc. as he told me...
    or if there is an registered Version of PS CS4 owned by this Adobe-ID?
    Just like to check if he's a real person or a fake...don't want to buy any stolen or illegal software...or beeing punked after paying the money...
    Thank you very much for helping me! :-)

    Old versions of Photoshop are not marketed by Adobe. Only CS5 can be upgraded to CS6.  There are many scams on the web if you find a cheap copy of Photoshop out there its most likely a scam... Be careful.....

  • Acrobat 9 Pro in CS4 - Acrobat X upgrade doesn't work with this!!!

    I bought this upgrade which recognised that there was a version of Acrobat on my system but later on during the installation, said it was not an eligible product.  Doubt very much I'll get a refund from the vendor now the package is opened and used.
    I am a self employed communication professional and my main tool for my job is MS Office.  It is very helpful to have Creative Suite so I can do things clients often can't (in Photoshop, Indesign  or Dreamweaver) but I mainly use Acrobat. CS4 was very large investment for me (more than my accountant, insurance, training or hardware) and with the exception of MS office 2010 integration, have no need to invest in an upgrade except for Acrobat.
    I have seen in threads about different development cycles and that is all vendor centric and of no interest to the customer.  In a former life as a marketing manager of a software company I know full well there are ways around this - validate I have a CS package and then install the full product for example.
    Has anyone had an official repsonse from Adobe about this.  I am quite tempted just to turn up at their UK office reception as it's near one of my clients!  I have just taken great delight in writing a very rude review on Amazon from where it was purchased.

    You must work for Adobe Dave
    Only the vendor could write such a pompous patronising and unsympathetic reply to a CUSTOMER
    I have seen the other forum threads I know I am not the only person who is irked by the fact that they have spend £1000s and yet are still expected to shell out the full product again. No I did not read these prior to purchase from Amazon who stated I needed Acobat 7 8 or 9 Pro to upgrade.  Not everyone lives and breathes Adobe  or knows your 7 year history of shafting customers
    Pathetic.

  • CS4 InDesign. Upgraded. Now pages taking off on me but only in InDesign

    I thought maybe it was the mouse or the computer new mother board or the OS 10.6 that we upgraded to a week or so ago. Also upgraded to InDesign in CS4 at same time.
    Now the page takes off on me to the right side or upper right corner or takes off on me to page 1.
    Hot corners is not the issue. I am not mousing differently from week before all the upgrades and installs.
    *** This is only in InDesign in CS4.... not in Photoshop.
    I know = wierd isn't it.
    Mac, OS 10.6.2, CS 4 v 6.0.4. Newest mouse from Apple which is the flat one with no scroll bar in it. Mouse was behaving before all the upgrades. Can't go backwards to prev. OS. (not an option w. our computer tech person)

    It must be an oversight by the Adobe programmers.
    (Background: traditionally, scroll wheels sent their 'scroll' message once per click, but also sent an amount of 'click' -- say, '20'. I remember when the first scroll wheels came out, Microsoft warned not to rely on that single 'click' message, but to use the click amount instead, to (paraphrasing from memory) "foresee scroll wheels with a higher resolution".
    Here comes InDesign CS4. Someone thinks "1 click message == 1 fixed amount of scrolling", and, because 1 amount of scrolling equals something like one pixel, multiplies that by twenty. One click on your old fashioned mouse wheel -> move 20 pixels.
    On to the "scroll wheel with a higher rez" -- the Magic Mouse. Instead of one click, value 20, it sends twenty clicks, value 1. Every program moves 20 units, except for InDesign -- that one moves 20 x 20 = 400 units. Instant headache.)

  • CS4 to CS6 upgrade?

    I don't think there's anything that can be done at this point, but I figured I'd post anyway since calling in didn't help.
    I bought CS4 2 years ago after considering it for a while because I had heard it was the best imaging program and I wanted to finally try it, even though I'm only a hobbyist. I ended up really loving it and using it a lot. Back in February, I saw a lot of articles online talking about how CS6 was coming out in a few months, how it was a really big improvement over 5, and really worth switching over. So I started thinking about upgrading. One of the articles I saw explained how if you buy the newest version of Photoshop shortly before the next version comes out, you can then upgrade to the current version for free. Although I certainly didn't need CS5 right away because CS6 was supposed to come out in a few months, thought it might be interesting to see the differences between it and CS6 (when it finally came out) and I was curious about the content aware scale tool. So I went to the Adobe website, to find out more about the "complimentary upgrade", as it was phrased on the Adobe website. The  page on adobe.com explained how it worked, but it didn't have any information on CS6, dates, or how close to the release you had to be to qualify- It said you should contact customer service with your registration number and they could tell you.
    So I logged onto the Customer Service/ Sales chat on Adobe.com so I could ask. I told the support agent that I had CS4, was interested in upgrading to CS6 which was coming out soon, and that I wanted to know more about how the complimentary upgrade worked, and if it was in effect yet because the Adobe website didn't have any information. The Adobe agent told me that if I upgraded now, I would be eligible for the complimentary upgrade when CS6 was released, and that in fact, it would be better for me to upgrade now instead of waiting, because they currently had a promotion where there was a 20% discount on upgrading, and that if I waited until CS6 came out I would have to pay more for an upgrade. I asked them straight out if I should upgrade at that time, and they said yes. So I thanked the customer service person, and went ahead and bought an upgrade package the next day.
    A few weeks later, I went onto Adobe.com to see if there was any new information on CS6, since I had seen even more articles and was really excited. I found out at that point that the customer service agent lied to me, and that the upgrade I bought on March 1st was not eligible for an upgrade to CS6 unless I paid another $200 on top of the $150 I paid a few weeks before. And no, I didn't screencap the chat, which apparently I was supposed to- why would I have? It never even crossed my mind that a Adobe employee would flat out lie to me, which I guess what a stupid assumption on my part. But there is absolutely no logical reason I would have chosen to upgrade to CS5 2 months before CS6 would be out instead of just waiting, unless that Adobe sales representative had told me to not to worry, that I was eligible for a complimentary upgrade to CS6 and to go ahead and upgrade now with this "special discount". Everybody knew that it was coming, and there was even an announcement assuring people that you would still be able to upgrade straight to 6 even if you didn't have CS5 yet. I understand that a sales agent job is to make you buy the product, but I think it's horrible and unprofessional to lie to people to make a sale. I also wonder how many other customers were tricked like me in the hopes of making more money.
    When I called in customer service, they repeatedly asked for "proof", of my conversation which of course they didn't have, since I had assumed the chat agents were honest and wouldn't give out false information. The very understanding customer service person then told me they would look into it and call me back. A day later, I got a robo "do not reply" email telling me that my request had been rejected, but thanks and have a nice day. Great.
    I mean, I do understand that my business isn't that important because I'm just a hobbyist and not a company buying like 100 licenses, but in the past two years I've spent basically the same amount of money on the program which as I paid for my computer. Other than my computer, this program is basically the most expensive thing I own. I justified buying it to myself because I really enjoy photo editing and making graphics and art and it's the "professional", top of the line program, but after this I'm wondering why, if I'm not a professional making money off of graphic design, while I should be giving a ton of money to a company that's not even going to give me good customer service for this purchase. Never mind this new Cloud service- why on earth would I give Adobe money every single month, when I gave them money once and they messed it up?
    There's nothing I can do at this point, right, now that I've called customer service and posted here? (Except stop buying Adobe products, which I already plan to do.)

    Those guys don't "lie", sometimes they simply are not properly briefed. Most of them are, after all, just some poor saps in India. The rest is neither here nor there - this is a user forum and if you have any issues with sales, then we can't help you. I personally understand your frustrations, but the earliest official announcement for the "free" CS6 I remember was some time in April, so that tracks. Other than that the really important question becomes, whether you actually do need CS6. Even as a professional to me this many times is a thing of "would be nice, but it's not a must have" for many of the features, so unless you have your eyes on a specific feature, it's probably better to not get too crazy over the matetr and instead rationalyl figure out a plan if and when you may upgrade to CS6 or whatever at a later point...

  • After CS4-CS6/CC upgrade PUT is intermittent

    I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6/CC.  I exported my sites from CS4 and imported them into the new version.  All works as it should except when it comes to transferring files from local to remote (and possibly vice versa, but I don't do that much).
    I use a Local/Network connection and often times when I explicitly PUT a file, the application appears to execute as requested but when I check, the remote file is unchanged.  If I go back to the CS4 version it works as required - every time.
    Has anyone else seen this?  Is there are fix?
    Thank you for your kind consideration.

    This has lately become the bane of my existence!
    I had previously followed all the recomendations given at:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/en/dreamweaver/kb/error-uploading-or-downloading-files.html#main_an chor3
    But still, no go.
    Using your suggestion of utilizing the "expanded ftp screen" I was able to upload a file.
    May have to go back to MX4!

  • No Pre-CS4 cross-platform upgrades anymore?

    I bought CS3.3 Web Premium for Windows 2 1/2 months ago. Before I purchased I confirmed with Adobe Customer Service that I can exchange it to the Mac version for free.
    This week I finally purchased a Mac and called Adobe to get the Mac version, and was told that my only option would be to upgrade to CS4 Mac (for $$$) and that they no longer sell / send out version 3.3.
    Can this be for real? I just bought it 2 1/2 months ago and they are no longer honoring their free cross-platform upgrade policy. It's hard to imagine that they don't have 3.3 in stock any more. It's not like I am requesting a CS2 Win to CS2 Mac upgrade. I just spend a lot of money, and now they want me to spend even more money...
    Any ideas? Anybody at Adobe reading this?
    Greg

    Now that makes sense. I'm beginning to thing that the techs and sales people at Adobe don't really know anything. I spoke to three, and none of them even hinted at that possibility.
    I also spoke to someone at Apple who said that their software couldn't damage the Mac's hardware, as well. It's hard to believe they'd keep it on the market without warnings, recalls or disclaimers, knowing it could do that much damage.
    Sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Adobe. Maybe it's time for me to look at other software.
    Thanks,
    Michele

  • CS4 Master Suite Upgrade = Photoshop STONEHENGE loading screen

    This evening I purchased the upgrade to CS4 for my CS3 Master Suite. All applications installed without error however Photoshop loads with the beta Stonehenge loading screen. How is this possible? The version number is listed as: 11.0x20080826. At no time did I install beta software--the only existing install was CS3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Dave

    i what you need to tell them is pretty much what the original poster said.
    Well, as we can see from Ryan's post they are not even aware of the issue. There should be a specific issue that this is called that all of Adobe support has been made aware of so we all do not have to go through 10 levels of support and spend hours on the phone. Please escalate this issue with the powers that are at Adobe and treat your customers with more respect.
    Instead of taking the attitude that the customer is lucky that anyone from Adobe is paying attention to the user forums, a much better way to handle this situation would be for Adobe to initiate the contact with the customers who they know are affected. So far, the only people here with the issue are people who downloaded the master collection from the Adobe store. Adobe has e-mail addresses for all of these people. Why not be proactive and send them an e-mail instead of having everyone call up Adobe and ask "Am I supposed to have a Stonehenge Screen when I start photoshop CS4?" I didn't even know whether or not this was a real issue. And I am sure that there are many customers who have this problem but are unaware of it and won't come to this thread to find out.
    Adobe management can either address this problem as if they have some respect for their customers or they can just wait for people to complain.

  • Uninstalling PS CS4 Extended after upgrading to PS CS5 Extended

    I finally acclimated to my upgraded to PS CS5 Extended after transferring over presets, brushes, actions, etc and decided to uninstall CS4.  Of course now when I open CS5, I receive an error message indicating the some of the support files are missing and I need to reinstall PS CS5.  Since this was an upgrade from CS4 that is no longer on the computer, do I need to reinstall CS4 and then reinstall the upgrade to CS5?  Or is there a way to simply reinstall CS5 and be done with it?  Since this was an upgrade purchased via download, and I deleted the disk image, where do I find the download for the upgrade?  Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

    All Adobe updates are full installers.
    If the update installer does not find a qualifying prior version installed, it will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.
