CS4 upgrade requirements

I have a license for Acrobat 8. Will this qualify for an upgrade to CS4?

Yes, I know. But I wanted to buy a used license as I can't afford the new. The upgrade to CS4 will meet my needs. I just need to know if I qualify for an upgrade the an Acrobat 8 license

  • 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!!!!

  • Photoshop CS4 upgrade to CS6 Exstended?

    i was wondering if photoshop cs4 is enough to up grade to photoshop cs6 exstended or do i have to have cs5 or cs6?

    Hi AoiroKibou55,
    I was looking at the upgrade options here: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_ creativesuite6.html?start=10
    It looks like upgrading requires at least Photoshop CS5.

  • CS4 upgrade will not load

    Have a AMD machine which I just upgraded from Win  2000 Pro to Winxp Pro SP3. Plenty of RAM. Am upgrading  photoshop CS2 to CS4. Have completely formatted/partitioned the drive  numerous times. Everything loads fine off of the DVD/CD drive except for  the CS4 upgrade disk. It is not the disk as the disk can be read by  most other machines I put it in. Have tried another cd drive taken out of a pc where it could be loaded, but would not load on my pc. My Computer will show the drive but no  data whatsoever. It seems to have a problem when I try to load it into  two other AMD machines...  All  Intel machines running XP it loads up just fine.

    Installed all the specific AMD patches? Since you speak of upgrading from Win2k, the procs may simply be too old. CS4 does not support those anymore since they don't offer the required features for SSE2/ 3 and all that...

  • Photoshop CS4 Upgrade

    I want to upgrade from CS to CS4. Is CS4 shipping with the latest ACR 5.5 and DNG converter 5.5? I hate to have to download and then worry about locating the current files and copying them into the proper folders.

  • Installing Cs4 Upgrade?

    I installed the CS4 Upgrade to a new laptop and it installed correctly.  It only asked me for a serial to a previous version because it could not find necessary files on my computer.  Should this be a red flag?  Should it work fully correctly even though it is supposed to only be the upgrade? I only ask because as far as I know it is going well.  I've used it for three months and no problems.  I even uploaded it to my second laptop and no problems again.

    The upgrade is the same as the full product – it doesn’t need any previous version to be installed as it installs in to its own directory and doesn’t use any files from the previous versions. So you shouldn’t have any problems.
    All the upgrade requires is verification that you have a qualifying product – either by finding in on the PC or by requesting the serial number from the previous version.

  • Will 1.84GHz work to run CS4 Upgrade

    I just received my CS4 upgrade, and it appears that Illustrator is the only app. which requires 2GHz processor. I use Illustrator occasionally, and usually with <20 layers. If I upgrade, will I be able to use the Illustrator app, even if my processor is only 1.8GHz? If not, is it easy enough to downgrade the Illustrator CS4 back to CS3 and run the remainder of the programs as CS4?

    I would say, if Ill CS4 doesn't work... just keep using CS3. (you don't need to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4.)You may or may not uninstall Ill CS4 depending on your choice and disk space.
    But what about upgrading just the processor?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size after CS4 upgrade?

    I've been able to successfully reduce the size of the PDFs created from my Illustrator files for years using Advanced> PDF Optimizer in Acrobat Pro. Upgraded to CS4 last week. Now it seems to have reduced everything, but the files are still huge. When I check Space Audit 96% or more is taken up by "piece information".
    I've tried changing the Adobe PDF presets, the Document Raster Effects settings, and outlining all text in Illustrator to see if that made a difference. Nothing. The frustrating thing is i've done this for years with no problem. HELP?!?!

    Subject: Why does PDF Optimizer no longer reduce size
    after CS4 upgrade?
    Hi, I've found the solution because today it happened to me as well.
    Just go to "PDF Optimizer", then click to "Discard user data" and finally to
    "Discard private data from other applications": in this way you delete any
    information left by Illustrator and your file's size will get reduced.
    It works.
    Good luckThanks so much! That works like a charm!!

  • Installing InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0

    I have purchased InDesign CS4 upgrade from Pagemaker 7.0.  I have also purchased a new computer on which I have installed it. When I run
    CS4 it offers me a trial version or enter a serial number.  I entered my PM7 serial number but that doesn't work.  Do I need to
    have PM7 installed before I install CS4 for this to all work?  If so, do I now need to uninstall CS4, install PM7, reinstall CS4 and then uninstall PM7 after it all works??  When I've used an upgrade before it hasn't need the actual files to be on the PC just the serial number.  Running Windows XP Professional. Adobe support didn't help at all!!

    I think you may need to call customer service. There have been a number of reports of trouble installing the PM to ID upgrades, often due to odd serial numbers carried forward from earlier PM installations.
    That said, I think the first time you are asked for a serial number it is probably the number of the CS4 upgrade that you need (since the other option is as a trial). Presumably you have that number becasue you paid for the license. After that I would expect the installer to look for PM or ask for the disk or serial number. Having the PM disk will probably help.
