CS4 Upgrade price

Just about to buy a CS4 Upgrade price and I notice that it's
more to download than to ship the box!
£168.88 Download
£159.85 Ship the box
Is this right?

Hi Rich,
Yes, its been discussed before, there was a semi-reasonable
explanation
but I can't remember what it was. I think it was something to
do with
server location and sales tax.

Can I upgrade to CS6 web Premium from CS4 Web Premium at the upgrade price?

I purchased CS4 Web Premium and it was sold as an upgrade. At the time I hade CS2 and Photoshop CS3/Deamweaver CS3/ and Fireworks CS3. I did have to contact Adobe support to activate my upgrade as the product mix was incompatable with the CS4 upgrade serial number. It was no problem and Adobe activated the entire suite. I have been purchasing Adobe products since 2006 and did not think I needed to upgrade every cycle to be ellagible for the upgrade pricing. As well, purchasing every upgrade would be nearly as expenxsive as full price anyway. More important, the upgrades (CS5) are not always substantial and give marginal benefit for the money.

Obviously Adobe is moving away from the amateur and hobby market.
You have it all wrong. CS products never were aimed at hobbyists in the first place. Any such use was accidental. Everything beyond that is irrelevant - many people spend much more money on other "hobbies" be it their car, sports, travel or whatever. anmd you'lll even find many people who buy much more expensiove software than Adobe tools just for their sparetime pleasure...

CS4 Web Premium Upgrade Price Seems Unfair

We own CS2, Macromedia Studio 8 and we have the CS3 Web Premium. The upgrade price to CS4 Web Premium is $599. This is the same price for someone upgrading from Studio 8 or CS2 Premium. What about the people who have bought each upgrade (not counting CS3.3) This upgrade price seems way to high. Just my two cents.

Are you complaining that it is too high, or that there should be different tiers of upgrades?
Adobe's policy has always been that you can upgrade from any of the last three versions. It is my understanding that this will be changing soon, and people who have upgraded more recently DO get a lower price. I believe the price to go from CS2 to CS4 will be $799 sometime next year. Since this is a new policy, they are giving people a few months to buy under the old policy.
If anything, this is the fairest thing I've ever seen a corporation do. They are making a policy more fair, while still not hurting the people who didn't know the change was coming.
That said, I do agree $599 is a bit steep for someone who just upgraded recently, especially for the Web package. The upgrade to CS3 Production Premium was $799, where the CS4 upgrade is $599...that seems fair to me (though they dropped Ultra from the package.) However, the CS3 Web Premium upgrade was $599 (or was it $499?) It does seem out of wack price-wise. The fact that Design Premium now includes Fireworks makes the Web Premium price even less attractive.
In your particular situation, it sounds to me like you have FULL licenses for CS2 AND Studio 8, and then an upgrade to CS3 Web. Basically, you have at least one license you aren't using (unless you're using it on another computer.) My advice would be to sell your CS2 or Studio 8 license, whichever is worth more these days. When I upgraded to CS3 Web Premium, I owned both Studio MX 2004 AND CS2 Premium licenses. I sold the CS2 license, and it almost paid for my Studio MX to CS3 Web upgrade.

Can i Upgrade CS student to CS4 for the upgrade price???

I have Creative Suite 1 standard(student edition). I want to upgrade to CS4 premium (orig or student). Can I purchase it for the upgrade price or do i have to pay full???

The academic versions can be upgraded to commercial versions. There are
no academic upgrades since the price is already very low.

Photoshop CS2 Education to CS4 Upgrade?

I have Photoshop CS2 Education edition. Would I be able to buy the Regular CS4 Upgrade without any problems?

"There's no such thing as an educational-price upgrade, but your education version qualifies for the regular upgrade. "
www.studica.com sells educational versions of software. The cost for an enrolled university student is equivalent to the commercial upgrade for PS CS4 - so there is no gain by a previous PS owner in purchasing an educational version - other than to have two independent versions of PS.

CS6 worth $200 upgrade price?

Faced with a decision here. I've been quite happy with PS CS 5 on my Mac Pro. I will never make the move to "Creative Cloud," because I find the concept of paying a monthly rental for software offensive. I'm wondering if CS6 offers any compelling new features or improvements that I would actually use and appreciate? It's not like I have $200 burning a hole in my pocket that I'm dying to spend, but if CS6 were appreciably better in real world usage scenarios, I would probably buy it. What are your favorite CS6 improvements and new features? It it worth the upgrade price, in your opinion?

I am in the same position as you, Gary, and feel the same way about CC. I was not planning on upgrading from my CS5.1 until CS7 came out in a year. Surprise.
So not trusting anything Adobe says any longer, I upgraded last week to CS6, moaning the whole way having to spend $209 now instead of in a year when I could have received more features. I took a few online tutorials on "What's new in CS6" on Adobe TV and YouTube to get up to speed.
I must admit that I am now glad I upgraded. I use ACR, so the more intuitive interface and quality improvements were a big plus. If you are planning to begin RAW processing, ACR 7.4 in CS6 will be easier for you to operate with more predictable results.
The new interface options are interesting. Being used to CS5, I didn't like the darker GUI. But after a while, I noticed that the panels on my palette monitor were less distracting while looking at my image on the main monitor -- with a dual monitor setup. So I left it on the default dark gray. You have five total choices in Preferences under "Interface."
Most impressive for me was the Content-Aware Patch Tool and the Content-Aware Move Tool with the "Adaptation" settings to better control what PS does in the process. They work very well. It's also nice to have the Lighting Effects Filter is back, and it works much faster than in CS4. The Liquefy Filter and Puppet Warp is a lot faster. Then there are quite a few small improvements scattered through-out that just make the editing experience more enjoyable. The Filter Menu has been simplified and is easier to use. Some things are not new, they just work better. It's like Adobe did catch-up on the minor gripes users have had for the last two versions.
A few things I don't care for is separating out the Adjustment Panel function with the new Properties Panel. I may be missing something here but is seems unnecessary. There is an extra row of icons at the top of the Layers Panel that I'm still trying to determine if they are worth the space. Seems like it provides a few short-cuts for power-users. The Crop Tool works a little differently, but after using for a while I like it better than in CS5. So far, no bugs have come up. I'm hoping that since CS6 made it to 13.0.4 before Adobe pulled the plug that it is fairly stable.
Hope this helps.

Installing CS2 so I can install cs4 upgrade on windows 7

I just got a new pc has windows 7 pro OS and need to install my adobe CS. I have CS2 with a CS4 upgrade. As you can probably guess i am having trouble getting the cs to install. I would like to upgrade to cs 5.5 but if I cant get the cs 2 on to upgrade to cs 4 I doubt i can get a cs5.5 upgrade installed! I have tried installing cs2 a couple times and keep getting the serial number screen. When I uninstalled it I had to deactivate it so it would seem that it was acttive just unusable. I will try running the cs4 uopgrade in thje AM but was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a waste of my time or is there actually a way to get this installed and working properly. any help is greatly appreciated.

I bought it from Adobe. Full upgrade price. It was about 3 years ago -
about. I wanted a backup in case Freehand tanked. Kept using FHmx and
forgot I even had CS4. So FHmx tanked Friday and I can't get it to show
the toolbars. So, I'll install CS4 and work all weekend on this rush
job. I'm on a Mac. OsX.6.8. Also on Aleve until I get this solved!

Photoshop CS4 licence prices

Here at BAT Systems we're used to the mysterious (and baffling) exchange rate that Adobe use to convert from US$ to £ (sterling). However can anyone from Adobe explain to us how you've derived the upgrade pricing from Photoshop CS3 Extended to CS4 Extended. It appears that we have to pay the same upgrade price from CS3 Extended that standard CS3/CS2/CS users pay. Nice to know that having paid more for the product in the first place we're being rewarded by Adobe.

CS4 Upgrades work from CS2?

This is a followup to my question about CS2 on Leopard.
When I look at the CS4 upgrades, they all say "from CS3". Will they also work from CS2?
Is this what the reference to "tiered pricing" was about?

As Buko says, don't buy the CS3 to CS4 upgrade. There is a separate CS and CS2 upgrade which you must purchase.
The price is the same as the CS3 to CS4 upgrade until the end of April.

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!!!!

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.

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.

Photoshop CS2 Upgrade to CS4 Upgrade with CS4 trial version

Hello,
today I bought the PS CS4 Upgrade (Win). The shipping will take 7 days so I asked myself if it is possible to upgrade my "CS2 Upgrade version" (from PS 6 full version) to CS4 by using the trail version.
Dear Forum,
do you have a step by step guidance about that issue?
Thanks!

Theoretically you should be able to do it, but I would advise against it because there are so many installation problems reported, especially with trials.
You have waited since September for CS4, so hang on for another 7 days and install the upgrade direct from the DVDs.

I have Logic Pro 8.0.2 and would like to upgrade. I'm running OS Lion on a 2010 MacB Pro. What is the best option? Logic Pro 9 App or Logic Studio? Can't find upgrade price. Or should I just stay with Logic 8?

Same here, I have Logic Studio 8 and wouldn't mind staying with that version, except that the installer won't run on my new Macbook Pro as PowerPC apps are no longer supported. That's the message I get in any case.
I use to run Logic on a 2006 Macbook Pro.
I guess that makes me a very unhappy Apple user! I've been using Logic from the Emagic days, bought every upgrade only to see Apple kill what used to be one of the best Pro Audio application. Imagine if they had done the same to Photoshop, there would be a lot of unhappy designers out there
Paying the full price for years to slowly see your daily app go down in price & efficiency until it's given away at $199 for semi pro users. Well, at least ProTools is stil alive & kicking so I guess that's the way forward now.
This is coming from someone that never ever used a Windows machine to make music! Life is good still!

Issues installing CS4 upgrade from CS2?

Hello,
I recently had to replace my hard drive on my Mac and am now in the process of installing CS4 Design Premium. I've downloaded the files from the Adobe website and when attempting to install I enter in my CS4 upgrade serial number and it is accepted. However, when it asks for the upgrade check there is no CS2 option in the product drop down box for me to enter in my CS2 serial number. How do I continue with the installation and get my CS4 working again?
Thanks,
Maggie
