CS5.5 standard design upgrade to CS6

Good day,
We have recently purchased upgrades from CS5.5 to CS6.
When trying to install the CS6 I realized that even though we purchased the CS5.5 it was never installed or used. I have now downloaded the CS5.5 upgrade and installed with the serial number. From here I need to upgrade to CS6 but when I run the installer it tells me that my serial number for CS5.5 (which I just installed with no problems) is incorrect. I used this same serial number to purchase the upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 with no issues.
Should I uninstall the CS5 before I can continue or how do I go about installing CS6?
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi MediaMarv,
Student edition software is already at a discounted price and not eleigible for an upgrade.
You can though buy a new student version of CS6 software.

  • Won't accept serial no. for InDesign CS5 when trying to upgrade to CS6. What to do?

    I own InDesign CS5 (single product, not part of a suite) and I'm trying to upgrade to CS6, which I just bought. When prompted for the serial no. for CS5 the installer won't accept it; it says it is not a qualifying product. I have double-checked the serial number at My Adobe account – it is correct. Please help!

  • In Design upgrade to CS6 (cloud) serial no. problem

    I have a licensed copy of Adobe Design Premium CS5.5 (upgrade from CS4) education version and have recently downloaded a trial of CS6 In Design. When trying to license this software (cloud version) and inserting my CS5.5 serial no. a message alerts me that the serial no. is invalid, which it is not. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Marion

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the confusion. I think the problem is that because I have an education version, I am not eligible for use of it to upgrade to the Creative Cloud version of CS6, so maybe that is why the serial no for my software was rejected. I was going through the window that asks you to subscribe when your trial period runs out in CS6. It asks for a serial no, so I gave the CS5.5 one, thinking I would then be able to go through to pay for the new one.
    Any clearer?
    Thanks,
    Marion

  • Keep using cs5.5 master or upgrade to cs6 master?

    hi is 5.5 master still considered a fair updated version for basic graphic design use in 2014 or should i buy cs6 master? or should i just keep using 5.5 and dont waste money on cs6 master because it wont get updated like creative cloud. i am trying to skip the cloud, im too poor for that.

    Thanks for the answer: I tried different ways (after I read your suggestion) but it always changes back right away ... I can't change it.

    Maybe try associating AE project files with 5.5 instead of 6.

  • I bought box version of CS5, how do I upgrade to CS6?

    Is there anyway for existing owners to upgrade to newer versions of photoshop?  I have a boxed version and wondering how to upgrade?

    You can upgrade to the superseded CS6 (download only, Adobe no longer sells boxed copies)
    Creative Suite 6
    Bear in mind that CS6 is no longer being updated.
    Or you can join the Cloud and get the latest versions.

  • Why should I pay for upgrade to CS6 twice?

    Dear Adobe,
    I upgraded from photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS5 last November as you said we will be not able to upgrade from CS3 to CS6 directly anymore. And now, you changed your mind and users are still able to upgrade from older versions. If I would wait couple of months like others I would pay only once. Please, would you try to explain your business strategy? How should we trust you are not going to change your mind and rules every month?
    Thank you for your explanation.
    Kind regards,
    Filip Zamorsky

    And...Add my name to the list. I began another thread but I was told about this one. It's the same story as you all, I'm just not going to be ignored by customer service. Adobe caused the problem, Adobe should fix it.
    Has anybody found a magic way to get customer service help? I have been waiting since last Tuesday for my problem to be resolved and I've been getting absolutely no understanding or willingness to take ownership of my problem.  I have chatted online with 8 different people. Each time making painstaking attemts to explain the situation as being different than the "free upgrade" window that is posted on adobe.com.
    Here is the situation.
    Adobe said that we MUST upgrade to CS5 in order to upgrade to CS6.
    In February, I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 based on item 1.
    I went online last week to upgrade to CS6 from CS5 when I saw that I didn't have to spend the money to upgrade from CS4 to CS5 afterall.
    Based on that, I feel I should be able to upgrade to CS6 without having to pay an addition $199.00.
    Adobe said I had to upgrade so I did. That cost me $199.00 three months ago.
    Now Adobe wants me to spend another $199.00 to get CS6.
    I will not do that. I wouldn't have spent the first $199.00 if Adobe hadn't said it was necessary. It wasn't necessary afterall so I shouldn't be penalized for believing Adobe.
    This is like the guy who's told he has a week to live so he gives away all of his earthly belongings. Then the doctor tells him he didn't mean it. 
    Now, On Wednesday, I got my request elevated to "concern group". They will contact me within 72 hours. That must be 72 business hours because I have not been concated.
    So, Monday, I had to go through the entire scenerio for the umteenth time and again was assured the "concern group" would contact me withing 24 hours. I didn't believe the rep, based on my previous lack of contact and asked how I can contact the "concern group" myself so I don't have to go through this entire process again. The "concern group" is offline, no way to contact them but "I ASSURE YOU" you will hear from them withing 24 hours. Well, 48 hours later, I'm totally in a very hateful mood. I opened another chat session and rather than submitting that person on the other end to my venom, I just pasted my chat from Monday and said goodbye. Of couse, it's not going to do any good either.
    I saw a message board online yesterday, and today I can't find it, where people in my same situation received their upgrade to CS6 with no addition cost.
    I know it's being done but Customer service is so...aggravating that I believe it's a way to make people just give up and go away. Not this time.

  • Can I upgrade to CS6 Design Premium if I own CS5.5 Design Standard?

    I own CS5.5 Design Standard + Flash CS5.5 + Dreamweaver CS5.
    I'd like to just buy one upgrade to CS6 for all... that would be the Design Premium.
    Can I do that?

  • Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

    I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium.  Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro.  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
    I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not.  First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial.  Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
    Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
    Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
    Cannot open resource file.
    After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened.  I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved.  Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input.  PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

  • Photoshop CS5 extendend - upgrade to CS6 (standard)

    Dear Sirs,
    I have Photoshop CS5 Extended (PHXS, CS5, WIN, RET, EUW, 001, DV) Serial no. [removed].
    I want to UPGRADE to CS6 (standard).
    I understand you offer this upgrade at various levels. Which version shall I buy?

    We both know that Adobe (like Apple) is a fascist company, who dictates and wants your money. Adobe does everything to avoid a "personal dialogue". Adobe does everything to avoid helping the customer.
    There are more than enough posts about Adobe's current lack of adequate customer support for that to need comment.
    However...
    Adobe has no right to edit my question!
    Adobe has no right to remove my serial no., as I have bought it (in connection with the CS5).
    Though these are user to user forums, the servers they run on are owned and operated by Adobe. They can edit, delete, or do whatever else they want to posts here. Read the TOS to see what you really agreed to by posting here.
    Finally, as Curt pointed out; my admonition not to post personal information here was for YOUR benefit, not that of Adobe. As was stated, if a bunch of people suddenly start using your serial number, Adobe will blacklist it as compromised and, paid for or not, your software WILL NOT RUN. Then you will have to try and contact Adobe directly -- not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
    But if you want to publicly broadcast your serial number, go right ahead. While you're at it, add any and all e-mail addresses you may have, so the spammers can harvest them, and add all your personal data for the identity theives while you're at it. We wouldn't want to leave them out, after all.
