CS4 upgrade path overlooked?

Ok, I was excited to see that I could go from multiple previous suites to cs4 master for only (only, he says) $1199, except when getting into the details of it, it turns out that my combination, cs3 design premium, and cs2 standard, are not eligible.
However, cs3 web standard, and cs2 standard ARE eligible. What gives?
It was then discovered that I can upgrade cs3 design premium to cs4 production premium for $599, and cs2 standard to cs4 design premium for $599, effectively resulting in the same thing for $1198 (minus Contribute), except now I'll have redundant copies of several applications installed on the PC, and not sure how this affects the integration (with Bridge or whatever).
If I take the "proper" upgrade path, it'll cost me $1599. This seems silly.
Was this combination (cs3 design premium + cs2) just overlooked or is this intentional for some reason? Design premium has 3 high-price applications in it that are not in web standard, web standard has only one low-price application in it that is not in design premium, and yet it should cost more to upgrade from design premium than from web standard?
I'm hoping this is some typo in the upgrade eligibility document, but I don't want to order Master, open it (rendering it non-returnable) only to have it tell me "nope, thats not gonna work".
(while I have a need for the "design" applications, I have a hobbyist/learning interest in some of the "production" applications, and I'm trying to decide if my interest level matches the pricetag).

An Adobe representative told me I could upgrade the cs2 standard to cs4 design premium AND upgrade the cs3 design premium to cs4 production, but now I'm not sure.
Also, that still doesn't answer why the discrepancy? Design premium contains Macromedia derived products, and except for Contribute is a superset of web standard.
Several of the 2 suite upgrade paths involve both suites being adobe (not Macromedia) suites, where the suites contain 0 Macromedia products or only post-acquisition Macromedia products.
Its also odd that it costs just as much to "upgrade" from cs4 (thats a 4) design premium to master, as it does to go from cs3 design premium to master, which is really discouraging should I decide to upgrade to master later.
I do remember once upon a time reading that "replace" clause regarding upgrades, but then its confusing that Adobe would offer a 2 suite upgrade path (with no cautionary footnotes) such as cs2s+cs3ws=cs4m when I suspect most people in that situation would have gotten cs3 by upgrading cs2.
Well, in any case, with this added "replaces" wrinkle, I've just opened a support case asking for clarification (via a different route than my previous conversation with Adobe, which was a bit less formal.) I suspect I'm just going to end up going cs3 design premium to cs4 design premium and foregoing the master stuff (I was mainly after After Effects and Encore, which are both "nice to haves, but I don't need them").
I figured the two-suite upgrade options were part of the new tiered pricing (i.e. stop punishing people for staying current, or rather, start punishing people for not staying current).
P.S. I just checked the CS3 EULA, and it actually does NOT state that it replaces prior versions. It does restrict those prior versions to only being used on the same device as the current version, and that you cannot transfer prior version without also transferring the current version, and Adobe is not obligated to provide support for the prior version. (clause "5. Updates."), specifically: "...you may continue to use any such previous version...", So, by the EULA, yes, I do have CS3 AND CS2 (and they are tied together).

Mac DW-CS4 Activation Trouble from CS2 Upgrade Path

Am I mistaken? I've just purchased what I believe to be the correct version of DW CS 4 UPG from GoLive, CS2 or 9. $199.00 Mac, English, as currently offered at the Adobe online store.
However, the installer doesn't find my existing version of CS2 nor does it accept my valid serial numbers from CS2 or CS(1)(as in GoLive CS.) A few weeks ago, there was conflicting information buried here in certain website pages about the upgrade path (which seem to have been reworded now) along with conflicts in Adobe Service Provider documents about upgrades. Furthermore, there still seems to be conflicting / confusing upgrade path info on the top of the list at the Dreamweaver forum FAQ – the post from two weeks ago named "Serial number not accepted." The post says you can't upgrade from a Creative Suite to a standalone version but at the Adobe store the contrary is offered.
Am I mistaken?
Could this be more confusing?
Does anyone else besides me find the 7 blue links on the lower left of the Dreamweaver store page regarding "Please check upgrade eligibility before making your selection..." do not work at all? (I'm using the latest Safari.)
Thanks!
– If not now, when.

The upgrade path is listed here: http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/upgrade/?view=available.
It says you can upgrade to Dreamweaver CS4 from Adobe GoLive 9, CS2, CS, 6.0, or 5.0. However, that means a standalone version of GoLive, not GoLive as part of a suite. This is confirmed on the following page: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/?anonymous_element_1=2. It lays out the upgrade eligibility very clearly:
Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from a previous suite edition to a standalone product?
No. Upgrade pricing is available only if you have one of the qualifying earlier products listed on the upgrade eligibility page of the product you wish to purchase and can provide the serial number for that product during installation.
Creative Suite Premium or Standard; Creative Suite 2 Premium or Standard; Production Studio; and Macromedia Studio do not qualify for upgrade pricing on standalone products such as Photoshop CS4, Illustrator CS4, or Dreamweaver CS4.

Web Premium cs4 upgrade issues

I currently have web premium CS3 on my computer and purchased the CS4 upgrade (download). When I try to install, it cannot find my CS3 installation and displays an error message when i try to enter the CS3 serial number on the "upgrade check" screen.
The only way I've been able to install CS4 is as a trial, but since it's the upgrade it won't let me activate it without recognizing that I have CS3 on my computer. Any ideas?
I'm running Vista business 64 bit -- I assume it doesn't realise CS3 installs to the "program files (x86)" folder; are there any ways to make the install look for specific paths?

Call Adobe. Install issues are handled free of charge.

CS4: upgrade to CS6 or the Cloud?

I currently have CS4, and have bought a new Mac which wants me to downgrade Java to 6. Should I upgrade from CS4 to CS6 instead or, if possible, upgrade to the cloud. I consider myself a novice+ CS user.

There is no upgrade path from CS4 to CS6. You can only upgrade to CS6 from CS5+.
If you wanted CS6, you'd have to pay full price.
The Cloud is a viable option and you can get a discounted rate for the first 12 months. After that, you pay normal price. Just bear in mind that the Cloud is subscription only. When you stop paying your monthly fee, the software stops working.
It's really up to you and how you use the software as to whether the Cloud is worthwhile for you. Perhaps download the trial version and take it for a spin for free for up to 30 days.

Upgrade Paths

I can't find anything about the change in upgrading paths from earlier versions to new ones. Somewhere buried on the Adobe website was a statement saying we have to be on CS5 to upgrade to the next version. Does this mean they've scrapped the three-versions back policy, or what I term "three strikes you're out!" I've missed upgrades already because they sometimes come out too soon especially with the Point Five upgrades that to me are nothing more than updates demanding upgrade prices.
Does this mean if I'm still using a CS4 product that when CS6 comes out, I have to buy the software at full price? Does this also apply to Acrobat and Premiere Pro which I seem to recall did not fall under this restriction. I'm already on CS5 or .5 for some software, but I still need to upgrade Dreamweaver and Photoshop.

William Boswell wrote:
I read somewhere the CS6 versions were coming out in a few months and we had do be on the five series to upgrade.
That was true until a customer outcry alerted Adobe to the poor timing of the new 1-version-back policy which culminated in this open letter to them from Scott Kelby in Nov 2011
http://scottkelby.com/2011/an-open-letter-to-adobe-systems/
In response, Adobe announced that 1-version-back will be relaxed for CS6 - but only until Dec 31, 2012.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/upgrade-policy.html
So CS3 and CS4 users have until Dec 31 to upgrade to CS6.
After that date, 1-version-back applies to all upgrade cycles.
In other words, to continue enjoying upgrade pricing, everyone must upgrade with every upgrade cycle whether they like it or not.

Cannot validate Production Premium CS4 upgrade

I purchased Production Premium CS4 using a upgrade path which allowed for a discount based on my prior purchase of Design Standard CS4. The screen that validates my copy of Production Premium (it was a download) asks for the serial number of my qualifying previous package, but the pulldown menu doesn't list any choices except CS3 packages. So, of course, my Design Standard serial number doesn't work and I am only able to use the trial version. All the Adobe technical staff seems to be unreachable until October 14, after their system upgrade is complete. Can anyone offer suggestions?
Thanks

Just to follow up, Customer Service was able to get Production Premium CS4 installed fairly easily today, but my concern about Photoshop CS 4 turned out to be well-founded. I still do not have PS CS4 Extended. After a frustrating four sessions with four different reps today, which included an uninstall of my existing version of Photoshop CS4 (not Extended) and re-install of the trial version of PS CS4 Extended, I still show only the regular version. Nobody seems to know what the problem is, but the fifth contact at Customer Service has agreed to send me an actual installation disc with which to install the extended version. I am running OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard, and I don't know if that is a complicating factor here.
I give my thanks to Adobe for their service reps--everyone was courteous and eager to help, although the first two gave advice that was patently wrong. The first had me uninstall PS (against my better judgment) in the hopes that PS Extended would somehow magically appear. That left me without any PS at all. It took three more sessions to get it re-installed. After I finally re-installed the trial version, Rep # 4 had me enter my Production Premium serial number at the appropriate prompt and the number was rejected. I accepted the trial option and have closed and reopened the program several times and have never been asked for a serial number again nor is there any other indication that this is a trial version. It seems to have just settled in place with the rest of Production Premium. The second rep reported that his superiors said that my upgrade path from Design Standard CS4 to Production Premium CS4 ($799.00) was invalid despite the assurances of two representatives with whom I talked before I purchased, as well as their website upgrade path page.
I am hoping that the physical disc will settle the issue.
Thanks for your attention.
P.S.: By the way, Adobe seems to have at least three levels of help in this area--one for installation/activation problems, another called "Tech Support", and a third "Customer Support" and it was this last category that has provided the installation disc. Although I have referred to everyone above as "reps" or "Customer Service", I believe the first two people I talked to were in the first category, the second two in the second category, the last one being in the third category. I actually called about 5:30 AM Pacific time. I think they start at 5:00 AM Pacific.

Upgrade from SCCM 2012 SP1 CU4 to R2 Fails - Unsupported Upgrade Path

Hello again everybody,
I've finally managed to fix this up, in the end I had to delete those entries manually from the database as Garry suggested. After this was done the upgrade has gone through as expected with no further ado and has finalized already, now moving on to the
primary sites.
If anybody out there is facing the same issue, what I did was to delete those "stubborn" records executing the following statements over the CAS database:
DELETE
FROMServerDataWHERESiteCode='XXX'
DELETE
FROMSC_SiteDefinitionWHERESiteCode='XXX'
And this is pretty much about it. I'd recommend to take a proper backup first though as best practice.
Thank you all anyways for your answers and comments,

Error Message: "This upgrade path is not supported"

Scenario
During the process of upgrade to Windows 10 Technical Preview, we may encounter the error “This upgrade path is not supported. Please close Setup and re-launch from the root of the media or go back and pick a different installation
choice.” in the Compatibility report.
Analysis
Step 1: Perform the scenario 1: the upgrade installation fails.
Reproduce this error following the steps below:
Download the Windows 10 Technical Preview ISO installation file.
Extract the ISO installation file to C:\New folder, and now the location of the installation file is
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\.
Click setup.exe from the installation file, and then click
Install now.
Setup is starting, and then get two options Upgrade and
Custom which is the classic setup wizard which we can see during booting from DVD.
Click Upgrade to run upgrade installation, however, the error occurs.
It seems that it is impossible to perform upgrade installation to Windows 10 Technical Preview, although it is fine to click
Custom to perform clean installation which cannot keep the personal setting and applications.
However, what we want is upgrade installation, not clean installation.
Step 2: Perform the scenario 2: the upgrade installation works fine.
If extract the ISO installation to C:\New in the above step2, click the
setup.exe from the installation file C:\New\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\, the upgrade installation would work fine, which is as shown the following two figures:

2014-10-14 19:08:05, Info UI Will launch ConX setup experience
2014-10-14 19:08:05, Info UI Launching ConX setup experience
2014-10-14 19:08:05, Info UI Launching C:\New\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\Sources\SetupPrep.exe
According to the two logs, we can get the following points:
In scenario 1, it would invoke the SetupPrep.exe in the source folder directly to perform an installation preparation. However, it failed to recognize the path
C:\New folder\9841.0.140912-1613.FBL_RELEASE_CLIENTENTERPRISE_VOL_X64FRE_EN-US\Sources\SetupPrep.exe. Then it would launch legacy setup.
In the scenario 2, Windows setup would be redirected to the ConX setup to perform upgrade installation automatically.
So, what is the difference of the scenario 1 and 2 to bring the different results of upgrade installation?
Workaround
Based on lots of testing, we find that if there is no space in the extracting location of the ISO installation
file, the upgrade installation would work fine.
What’s more, we can get the meaning of the two setup models in the setupact.log:
Legacy setup: it is same with setup from DVD boot.
ConX setup: it would check the compatibility and language UI for upgrade preparation, then perform migration and upgrade directly.

Hello,
I would guess that existence of a space in the folder name is what the issue is. Try removing the space from the folder name and see if works. New_Folder for example

I am trying to upgrade EPM 8.9(8.49.23) to EPM 9.1 (8.53.08). During dataconversion step the AE process finished succssfully in few seconds. When i see the log it says "There are no conversions to run for upgrade path PF89 (18028,10003)". Please let me know why it didnt do any conversion. Am i missing something?

yes, that app engine didnt inserted any rows. So now when i tried to drill down i found that there was no data in the "new demo" database on table UPG_DATACONV. That is the reason for all this.
When i applied required for upgrade patch in demo it said couple of patch already exists so those update i skipped. Now when i check upd877654 has a step which imports the data in this table. my change assistant told that the update is already available in my demo so i skipped. Now i am not sure what to do.
I tried reimporting the data and running the analyzer again. But worried that there can be any issues due to this.

If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade". Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion? Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old) (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose.
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product. Now I get slapped in the face, HARD. Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products. I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone. and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer. Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps. What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people. The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion". At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form. "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species. Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly. Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs. I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY?
Also, off my wagon and back to my question; will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"? Thanks!

I went to that page. Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer. I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine). I could live with what it says. I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime. Why that works, I have no idea. I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me. I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs. All my problems have been solved by you great people! And I thank you !
My present concern is: I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer???? Photoshop users?????
Geniuses???? If you know, please help me out here. I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!) VISTA, and I cannot !!!! Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud?????? Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers???? HELP!!!!

Windows 8.1, Update 1 upgrade path

Hi, if there is anyone of any influence who might read this, please, please, for you own sakes make an upgrade path directly from Windows 8.0 --> Windows 8.1, Update 1
I cannot upgrade from W8.0 --> 8.1.
I cannot upgrade due the the following error. But I believe it is a silly error and can be overcome as some have managed:

This is an issue I'm having with my personal PC but I also work in IT infrastructure and I think this needs to be sorted. This is going to become a BIG issue for many other people who have Vista/XP-grade systems with the requirements for 8.1.1 who will try
to upgrade.
Please can someone help?

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.

You can find the CS4 download here: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html

Upgrade Path from 5.1.4

We are currently running version 5.1.4 and are looking to upgrade. What is the recommended upgrade path or version we should be planning to go to? Our pipeline isn't very complicated since I've read some articles about there not being a direct migration to version 3.0. We currently develop using the RAD toolkit and .NET if that is a factor when upgrading.
Also if someone could clarify which packages I'm looking at migrating to as before I installed Endeca IAP and Dev Studio and I was up and running. I don't see those packages in the newer versions of the software and I'm not 100% on what the packages were renamed to after the transition to Oracle.

It sounds like you are upgrading an Endeca Commerce / Guided Search implementation. This forum is for Oracle Endeca Information Discovery (EID) products. You will get better answers over on the other forum, https://forums.oracle.com/community/developer/english/endeca_experience_management/technical_questions .

I have Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. Am trying to install Photoshop CS4 upgrade. It will not accept any of the serial numbers from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. The upgrade is for Photoshop CS 4 only

Need help installing Photoshop CS4 upgrade. I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection installed on my computer. When trying to install Photoshop CS 4 upgrade. I am ask for serial number of Photoshop CW, CS2, & CS3 I put in the serial number from my Creative Suite 3 Master Collection. None of which are accepted. What do I need to do to accomplish upgrade?

When you purchase a Creative Suite collection, you can't run an upgrade on an individual product within the Suite. You have to upgrade the entire collection.
You could purchase a copy of Photoshop CS6, or a subscription to Photoshop which can be as little as $9.99 with the Photography plan to the Creative Suite.
Adobe no longer sells upgrades to CS3 or CS4.

CS4 upgrade path overlooked?
