CS5.5 Production Premium via Akamai or direct download: unrecognised, small .dmg file size

A discussion / open call for help about my experiences downloading the product. This may help
Product:
CS5.5 Production Premium (download version), Intel Based Mac
My system:
MacBook Pro OSX 10.6.8
FireFox 7.0
Safari 5.1
Chrome 15
Problem:
Downloading the 8.2GB .dmg file from order history/your downloads page or opening downloaded file.
1. Akamai shows that "download integrity is invalid". Confirming to start the process over yields same result. Also noticed that filesze is only 202.36MB.
2. "Alternative download method" of direct download results in a 212MB file that is not recognised as a disk image.
3. Speaking to chat support, and going through the above steps again, a direct link was eventually provided, but "access denied" error (to what appears to be the trial version of CS5, not CS5.5). We then had to initiate and cancel a Lightroom download, then go back to the direct link to start CS5 trial.
Download started, but filesize was only 608MB, which cannot be right (no screenshot) No further help on this issue from chat support. I am expecting a call from them, but then I received a case update e-mail saying that they were "happy that we have started the download for Production Premium CS5.5", so not very encouraging.
Also not clearly explained was why I was given the trial. I assume I can unlock the full version with my serial.
4. Via CS5.5 product page, I started downloading trial using Adobe Download Manager. I have to hover over the progress bar to see what the download status is - 15 hours to go. At least it has initiated and seems to be downloading the right filesize. I am hoping I can just put my serial in this and unlock the full version.
Not the smoothest experience so far. I'll update if this works.

(update:) I've also tried downloading other elements, such as CS5.5 master and I've got the same problem. It seems that EVERY downloads stop before the end...
What does it mean? That Adobe doesn't want users to downlaod trials?

64 bit version download for CS5 Production Premium

I am moving my applications from a 4-core PC to a 6-core PC for increased speed. In so doing, the 6-core will become my second computer with CS5.
Are the 64 bit versions of CS5 Production Premium not on the CS5 discs and were downloaded automatically later still available?

I am organizing all the information I need for a transfer of files and programs from my 4-core PC to my 6-core PC so I apologize if my questions sound trivial. I could tell the 64 bit version from the 32 bit version because the file included (64 bit) at the end of the name. If this is the case with the download program then that is simple.
I also have an additional concern regarding download time. When I tried to download CS5 Production Premium twice on the first 4-core PC, the download quit after a period of time. This can be a problem with Telco Internet. I had to order the discs as a result. I may be lucky with a new Airport Extreme router, due 28th of this month, and the 6-core PC combination. Do you have transfer using FTP or what do I do if I experience the same problem with my 6-core. Single programs such as Photoshop would not be a problem. That is why I asked my original question regarding the download of 64 bit versions that were missing on the discs and sent by download afterwards.

Where can I download the template libraries for CS5 Production Premium

I have recently downloaded CS5 Production Premium but noticed that there are no default template libraries for things like Menu presets in Encore etc.
Can anyone tell me where I can download this file from, as when I asked Adobe telephone support they couldn't give me a specific address or file name.

I think you'll get much better answers asking in the particlar forum for the application that you're wanting templates for. To get to the forum home page where you can choose them look at the "breadcrumbs" near the top of this page.

Upgrade CS5 Production Premium German to CS6 Production Premium English?

Hello,
I own CS5 Production Premium in the German version and would like to upgrade to CS6. Is it possible for me to upgrade to the English version?
If yes, how can I do this? Will it work to just go to the Adobe Online Shop and put:
I want to buy: Upgrade
I own: CS5 Production Premium
http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html?start=10

Or does this ONLY work if I own the English version?
Thanks for your help

If doing what you ask about ends up delivering the German version you can swap languages/platforms for a latest version product if you follow the instructions at the following link:

What you might try instead of using the web to place the order is to get the assistance of Adobe Support thru chat (or by telephone if you are within the calling region)

Re-installing cs5 production premium

Hiya
I bought a new computer window 7, 64 bits, which matchs the requirement for installing the cs5 produciton premium. I had it running perfectly fine at my old computer until the old computer was broken. First of all, i install ed the cs5 prodcution premuim in my new computer, it runs ok, but I when I using the ILLUSTRATOR, i couldn't use the PATHFINDER , it doesn't alow me to do any merge or trum, or any other function. So, I thought it might be I din't install it correctly, so I unstalled the whole program, and try to re-install it, however, as I try to install it, there was a little window come up says that I need re-start my computer, So I did as the computer say so . after I restarted the computer, then try to install the program again, the sample little window come up ask me the same question. and I tried a few times, still the same results. So now, I can't re-install the program at all.
After desperation of no program to use for my project, the new idea came up to my mind, I download the ILLUSTRATION CS6 trial from Adobe website, but still countered the same problem, while I was install the cs6, it asked me to re-start my computer, so i pressed the ignore buttun. and here comes the message on my computer
: 4 errors

And funny thing is the trial cs6 I have download has no function of pathfinder either, I am so confused!
I have been use the pathfinder in the past so many times from my older computer, it was perfectly fine.
And I also tried to open the file I created before, as I open the file, there was a little window came up says: font problem, the font in the file wasn't found in this program, do you still want to open this file?
My godness, it was oringinally created from Illustrator cs5 Only, how come the new installed illustrator doesn't work? Funny thing is, i bought the whole program was only for the sake of illustrator, and it's THE only program I know how to use. Now I can't use the pathfinder to merge the objects.
Please help me , I am getting so frustrated! And it took me so much time just to fingure out why it doesn't work.
MANY MANY THANKS IF YOU CAN HELP.

CS5 Production Premium Install Problem - Missing Software

I purchased CS5 Production Premium and downloaded it today. However, after installing Production Premium I don’t seem to have the following products installed Photoshop® CS5 Extended, Illustrator® CS5, Flash® Catalyst™ CS5, Flash Professional CS5, and Soundbooth® CS5. From the download files I was provided I don’t see any way to install these items.

Rick,
Thanks! I have reposted this in the Creative Suites (i.e., the correct) forum.

After a computer crash, how can I re-install my CS5 Production Premium?

My laptop is crashing, and before I do something about it I want confirmation that I can re-install my CS5 Production Premium. I need this suite for work purposes, and I don't care if I have to wipe this laptop as long as I can still get my CS5 back. I couldn't find an answer anywhere, and Adobe showed me to this forum, so here I am asking. I think it's the computer itself, and not Adobe programs causing it, however Illustrator was the first program to not open, and then Photoshop, and then my itunes, Word, picture viewer, and then it all went downhill. Now my laptop is only good for Internet, when it wants to be. Any information/insight is welcome!

CS5 Production Premium Install missing some components

I purchased CS5 Production Premium, downloaded it today and just installed it. However, after installing Production Premium I don’t seem to have the following products installed: Photoshop® CS5 Extended, Illustrator® CS5, Flash® Catalyst™ CS5, Flash Professional CS5, and Soundbooth® CS5.
From the download files I was provided I don’t see any way to install these items. I’m sure I’m missing something; but have read the installation FAQs and just don’t see how to install these additional components. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! - Wolf

Bob,
I meant to post a reply earlier and just realize I never did. Your remarks about the folders lead me on a path to realize they were physically never installed and that something happened during the original install. Based on this I ran the install again, and sure enough, this time there was a window where I could select all the "missing" applications and have them installed. Thanks for the help!!

CS5 Production Premium - Student. Upgrade to CS5.5?

Thanks for reading all of this:
I recently purchased CS5 Production Premium Student Edition. Adobe sent me an email saying I'm eligible for a complimentary upgrade.
I sent in the request, and another email then said "When CS5.5 is available, we will notify you and it will ship."
Then CS5.5 came out, and I had no such email even after a month. So I went back to the complimentary upgrade email, and tried to send another request.
After clicking the link, the Adobe site said I haven't got any products eligible for a complimentary upgrade. Maybe that's because I already sent in a request.
I contacted customer support through the chat client, and after an hour of miscommunication, the Adobe representative sent in a ticket for me.
I now have CS5.5 Production Premium UPGRADE VERSION sitting in front on me.
There is an information panel on the box saying "Before opening, visit www.adobe.com/go/upgradeinfo "
It gives a link to the buying guide which says:
You own one of the following suite editions
Upgrade to Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium
Creative Suite 5.x Design Premium, Design Standard, Web Premium, Production Premium, or Master Collection
US$399
Does this mean my Creative Suite 5 Production Premium STUDENT Edition is eligible?
Will I be able to use this Upgrade Version to install over the top of my Student Edition?

Yes, you should be fine. Student versions carry full upgrade rights.
Bob

Hello, I own a license for Adobe CS5 Production Premium and Adobe CS4 Design Premium for Windows/PC. I am switching to an OSX/MAC system. Is it possible to transfer my licenses to the new platform?

It's possible to transfer licenses but it must be done by contacting a Customer Service representative by phone or web chat. They'll probably have you submit a form.

Photoshop CS5 Extended NOT in CS5 Production Premium?

Hi!
A few days ago I purchased CS5 Production Premium. I already had Photoshop CS5 installed and registered on my PC. However, after installing Production Premium I still have Photoshop CS5, but not Extended. I checked again on the What's Is Production Premium page, and sure enough Photoshop Extended is listed right below "What's Inside" near the bottom of the page. I did not uninstall Photoshop prior to installation as I don't recall being told to anywhere.
Just for kicks I started the install process again and stopped to look at the programs being installed. Photoshop CS5 (64bit) is listed, not CS5 Extended. If I click on the Photoshop.exe icon that is in the either of the Adobe folders (rather than using the Start menu, just to be sure), one in the Program Files (x86) for the 32bit apps, and the other in the Program FIles for the 64bit apps, I still don't have Extended for either version.
I also noticed the modified dates of those Photoshop folders are from close to my original Photoshop CS5 installation date. Nothing was changed when I installed the Production Premium package.
Also, I was emailed four serial numbers (two are numeric only, the other two much longer and contain letters and numbers). However, during the install only one was ever entered. Besides Photoshop I've only tried Premier Pro, After Effects, and Illustrator and they all seem fine.
What should I do to get Extended working?

That did the trick! Thanks for the quick response.
Weird thing is that the Deacitvate option was greyed out on the 64bit version. I looked in the 32bit version and it was available there. I permanently deactivated it, exited Photoshop (32bit) to check the 64bit version again. This time a CS5 Production Premium window appeared with the option to install Photoshop CS5 Extended. I clicked install and Photoshop opened up almost immediately; all Extended options now available.

Help menus not working for CS5 Production Premium

I have installed the trial version of CS5 Production Premium on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. I canot get the Help menus to work for any of the applications.
Is this a limitation of the CS5 trial version?
I recently purchased Premiere Elements, but I did not deactivate it before installing Windows 7 on my PC. Would this interfere with the help menus for CS5?

I think the Adobe site was down for maintenance a few days ago. My CS5 Help menus are working fine today.

Installing cs3 master collection and cs5 production premium on windows 7 machine

I have a windows 7 ultimate machine that I would like to install CS3 Master Collection on. I would then like to upgrade the Production Premium programs to CS5.
I have the install discs for both. Any suggestions for how to go about doing this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Tahseen,
Thanks for the quick reply!
Both CS3 Master Collection and CS5 Production Premium are full installs, neither is an upgrade. I have serial numbers for both.
Machine previously had CS4 Production Premium installed on it, that has been uninstalled.
Should I install CS3 Master Collection then install CS5 Production Premium? If so, do I need to remove the CS3 versions of programs included in Production Premium before installing CS5 Production Premium?
Thanks again!
