CS5.5 upgrade or fresh install?

Does anyone know if CS5.5 will be a upgrade version we can install over 5, or will it need to be a fresh install?
thanks

Hello
Can't instal my CS5.5 without errors???
Have now tried to install on my CS5.5 Production Premium twice, and get the same error every time. Had previously installed 5.0.3 without any problems.
I have run the Clean Tool, so there was nothing left of 5.0.3, however, I get errors during installation (installation 2).
I've now reinstalled my OS Windows 7 64 Ultimate but with the same result (installation 3)?
Can't activate my Cuda with 5.5, worked fine in 5.03 thought?
Cant't log in with my Adobe ID under installation but it works fin in my browser thought?
Not fun at all :-(

SQL 2008 R2 In-Place Upgrade or Fresh Install to SQL2104

We have a server running Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 currently. We will call it SQL01. This houses databases for about 8 different applications and also has the name hard coded into a lot, I repeat, a lot of various things.
We are at the point where one of our applications needs to be upgraded and it only works with SQL 2014. So we need to either do an in-place upgrade or fresh install.
The obvious choice to me as a system admin is to do a fresh install, but the development side of the department knows how many places the name "SQL01" is hard coded and they want to do an in-place upgrade to avoid all the issues that would show
up if we changed names.
I have several questions, and I'd appreciate that the answers address them all if possible.
1. What are people's experiences with in-place upgrades from SQL 2008 R2 to SQL 2014?
2. To avoid this naming and coding issue, do companies use a permanent alias for their SQL servers? Like with exchange, we have an alias or A record pointing "mail" to the current Exchange server. As we do upgrades and the Exchange
server names change, the "mail" entry will always be pointed to the current one. Do people do this for SQL as well to avoid our issue of hard coding names?
3. I've head that you can also have both SQL 2008 R2 and SQL 2014 on the same server running together. This really doesn't help though if the SQL 2014 instance would need to be something other than the default which everything is currently pointed
to correct?
4. Is there any advice about a better way to go about this? Or a better way to do this moving forward? Other than not hard coding which I can't change now?
Thanks!

Hello,
Adding to the answers provided above, please consider discontinued features no longer available on SQL Server 2014.
I often see company configuring SQL Server aliases when installing SQL Server on SharePoint environments. You can certainly use DNS or use the following article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190445.aspx
An in-place upgrade is easier but is difficult to rollback in case something goes wrong. Meanwhile, a side-by-side upgrade provides you more control over what is upgraded, it keeps the legacy server online during the upgrade allowing you to easy rollback if
needed, but is not an automated process and the instance will not keep the same name, requiring you to use aliases or other ways to avoid client redirection.
Since you cannot change the application, go for a side-by-side upgrade and try the DNS alias or the client-side alias as I provided the procedure above.
Hope this helps.

Alberto Morillo

Help deciding whether to Patch, Upgrade or Fresh Install

Soon we will be upgrading one of the Oracle database targets to 11gR1 (11.1.0.7).
Here is the existing OEM Grid Control configuration:
* RHEL 4 Update 1
* GC 10.2.0.2
* Repository: 10.1.0.5 (single instance)
* Agents 10.2.0.3
* 17 Hosts targets
* 13 Database targets
* 10 User Defined Metrics
To monitor the upgraded 11gR1 target database, I have the following options:
OPTION 1) Patch GC to 10.2.0.5
OPTION 2) Patch GC to 10.2.0.5, then upgrade to 11g (11.1.0.1)
Installing the 10.2.0.5 patch set would require less effort than upgrading to 11g, but let’s suppose the final goal is to upgrade to:
*RHEL 5 Update 2 (on a new virtual server)
*GC 11.1.0.1
*Repository: 11.2.0.1
Knowing we have Option 2, I wonder if there might be third Option. For example:
OPTION 3) Fresh install of OEM 11g Grid Control and manually add targets and UDMs
My question is Option 3 feasible and would it be less effort than Option 2 given the ease with which agents can discover various targets?

Choose Option 3

CS3 to CS5 upgrade - can't install CS3 on new mac first

I originally purchased CS3 years ago, then upgraded to CS5. Today, I purchased a new Mac OS X 10.10 and it says I need to first install the CS3 and then go through the upgrade again. Problem is that it will not install CS3 because it is not supported on the new operating system. So what to do?

There is no need to re-install CS3.
All installers (full and upgrades) contain the full program code. The serial number tells the installer if it's a full version or an upgrade.
Just install CS5, enter the CS5 upgrade serial number then the CS3 serial number when prompted.

Upgrade or fresh install??

Got my snow leopard upgrade dvd and wondering if there is any advantage to doing a fresh install as opposed to an upgrade...
obviously making a backup first.

I've done both and didn't notice much difference myself.
I did an upgrade originally and it was fast and everything except flipformac worked like before only faster it felt like.
Way better than any Windows upgrade I've ever done in the past.
Later I did a fresh install to see if there would be any noticeable difference and there wasn't from what I can tell. Fresh install is actually more of a hassle than anything since:
#1 It's alot harder to actually do a clean install of the harddrive with snow leopard compared to leopard since you actually have to manually go up into the menu to select the drive and erase it. In Leopard setup it actually asked you if you wanted to erase your drive during setup.
#2 You have to find your applications disc and reintall iLife, iPhoto,iMovie,etc. since they are not installed with Snow Leopard.
So unless you have a good reason I say don't bother with fresh install and just do the upgrade.
Oh there is only one really good reason I can think of and that is if you are going to use bootcamp and it fails to partition your drive since it's fragmented and you need to erase the drive but even in that case there is software you can use to fix that.
p.s. Remember macos isn't like windows where it uses a registry database to store info every time you install and remove applications so there really is no junk to build up over time in macos. On Windows, a clean install is noticeably faster than an upgrade I find, but on macos it's not like I said.

CS5 upgrade won't install after extracting

I've purchased the CS5 upgrade from CS2.
Order number:
AD003046884
Order date:
Monday, April 26, 2010
I have a new PC and have redownloaded the CS5 product upgrade. After it extracts, it stops and does not perform an install.
Why is this happening and how can I install CS5?
Mark.

Once you extract the content, go into the extracted folder and locate the setup.exe file , double click on it to start the installation.

Cant instal CS5 upgrade as cant instal CS2 as registration no longer accepted by adobe

How do you instal CS5 upgrade when I cant instal CS2 because Adobe doesn't recognise serial code as no longer supported Adobe gave me site link to download CS2 but the serial code provided isn't valid to instal CS5 upgrade
How can I get myself up and running again after hardware failure
If someone can help or post link to customer service as this seems to have disappeared from Adobe site also
Thanks

Upgrade or Fresh Install of VC3

I've been using VC 2.5 for a year now. Just got VC3 the other day. Is it better to upgrade or do a fresh install of VC 3? I did perform a fresh install but noticed many media files missing from Ver.3. that I had gotten use to using in 2.5 For example VC3 only showed 6 animated backdrops, where I had access to nearly 30 in VC 2.5. VC 3 also lacked a large number of the audio clips from ver 2.5. (VC 3 actually has a number of other music clips in labelled file folders, but they weren't the same types of music. Would performing an "upgrade" have merged all the media files and made them all available to me or did I fail to load some media file folder somehwere on the new VC 3 disk?

There is additional content available for VC3 that should restore all the backgrounds etc that you aren't seeing. (it was split from the application install to make trial downloads easier for people. 200MB versus 3GB download to try the product)
If you bought the DVD version, the additional content installer is located in a folder called "content" on the DVD. Just run the setup.exe there and you should be fine. (There is also an option during the main installer to install the additional content when you install the application, but if you already installed the app, just run the setup.exe in the "content" folder.)
If you purchased the ESD version, you should be able to download the additional content installer from the same page that you downloaded the app install. It is about a 2.5GB file.

Leopard Upgrade or Fresh Install???

Hey guys... I hope you all are doing ok!!
My question is... I have a mac pro and I am going to upgrade it to Leopard and was wondering if I should do an upgrade or a fresh install (reformat)??
My concerns:
Upgrading - will some of my applications somehow become corrupted in the upgrade process or will not function 100%??
I would do a fresh install, it's just a hassle to reinstall all my applications, especially final cut.
Im running full adobe master suite, aperture, final cut studio, parallels w/ windows xp pro
Any help would be appreciated!!

Before you embark on your project, get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before upgrading/updating and ensure that works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall anything. See these for details:

Cs5 upgrade wants to install as trial

I just got a copy of the upgrade today. Entering serial takes me to install but the only choice takes me to a different directory than my current cs3 and wants to install it as a trial. I did as suggested then I opened CS3 and it is not upgraded.
Checking my registered products shows that the upgrade has been registered as well as the original CS3 from 2007. That was originally a windows install but the license was transferred to Mac. I wonder if this is the source of the difficulty.
Please advise as to what to do to get this installed as an upgrade.
thanks,
Mike

OK, that helps but it is also saying that it only needs 100MB and that CS5 is already installed with an ! at the end of already installed. The only thing on the machine right now is CS3.
When I try to install should I check full install even though it says it is already installed?
Maybe I should uninstall CS3 first so it goes to the applications directory?
Also why does it say that the new install directory is a trial?
I'll proceed with a full install on the new disk and see what happens.
will check back for more info later.
thanks,
Mike

I cannot find my CS5 upgrade online to install on a new pc

I have CD's for CS4, but when I upgraded to CS5 I simply downloaded the version. Now I have a new laptop and I can't find my upgrade online with my Adobe account. Any suggestions?

Hopefully the cs5 from here will work:

Fresh Install or Upgrade

I currently have Windows 2003, IIS6 and CF7 and CF8
successfully running side by side on my development server. CF7 is
loaded in stand alone mode while CF8 is loaded in multi-server
mode. I have 15 CF8 instances running on that server in a
pre-development environment. Next week I will be switching over our
Development side to CF8 and just connecting it to one of the
instances on that server. As it stands right now, we are not
thinking of running multiple instances in our test and production
environments but I was thinking of installing the multiple server
configuration and with just 1 instance just in case someone changes
their mind down the road.. So,
My question is this: What is the best approach to installing
CF8 in those environments, just upgrading or fresh install? Does an
upgrade remove the previous version? If not, do I have to do a
manual uninstall? I have always done fresh installs on major
version changes as I have not wanted any previous version file
hanging around to cause problems. But upgrading seems the painless
way to go especially when it just ports all of your settings,
datasources and k2 verity collections over.
What is the best practice?

hi
I recently purchased the latest mountain Lion.
i was wondering what was the best thing to do.
A complete fresh install
or just upgrading from the previous OSX Lion.
I have 3 macs :
- iMac 27" (2009)
- Mac Mini (2010)
- MacBook Pro 13" (2011)
The 3 of them came with with Snow Leopard.
And I did an upgrade to Lion, shortly after it was relased.
If we upgrade :
- does leave unnecessary files
- is there a difference in speed and hard-disk space
or does it manage it all very well
Thanks for the info
maybe some links would be welcome that give an in-depth explanation about that
There is some house-keeping that you need to do before/after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
For installed, third-party applications (and device drivers where indicated), does the vendor offer latest OS X Mountain Lion support. Drivers that worked in Snow Leopard or Lion, may not work well in Mountain Lion without upgrades.
You may have to re-install some third-party applications that have system dependencies that have changed in Mountain Lion.
You may have to update your Printer preferences if printers do not work after the upgrade.
You should count on a minimum of 4GB of memory (8GB is better) in each Mac.
Although the upgrade process will not touch /Users, it is sound due diligence to backup user data on all these Macs beforehand.
Upgrading is simpler, multiple Mountain Lion downloads not withstanding. If these Macs have been through prior OS X updates, they may not operate as fast as a full, clean install would deliver. If you want to do a full, clean install, download the free Lion Diskmaker. It will automatically build a bootable, USB installer for Mountain Lion from your first ML purchase and download. I used it to make a clean install on my SSD. Works perfectly.

How can I download Adobe CS5 upgrade on a new computer.

I just bought a new computer and am trying to download Adobe CS5 upgrade. When installing it says I do not have a qualifying adobe product. I have a student version of Adobe CS2 premium which the installer also does not recognize the serial number.....pay all this money and can't even use it....

You are allowed on two activated copies. If you already have reached this limit you will need to deactivate one and then try it. If you old computer crashed it is still considered activated. If so you need to call customer service tomorrow and explain and they can reactivate.
Hope this helps get you up and running.

Trouble updating fresh install of CS5.0 on Mac

Hi,
I am in a corporate environment with CLP licenses of Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.0. Because we use some very expensive plugins, along with InDesign Server, and are connected to a database publishing program, there are a lot of dependencies preventing us from upgrading at this time.
Recently we have upgraded our Macs to OSX 10.9.2 from Snow Leopard without incident. All existing licenses were preserved and work correctly. However one of the Macs, a 27" IMac needed to have a fresh install of Mavericks for reasons unrelated to this post. I was able to install the Suite and open each application without issue from the original electronic dowload file. However, attempts to update the suite using the built-in AAME update method fails with each attempt, due to download errors. So one question is, is this because of something Adobe did that changes the download location, or do I have some sort of security blocking downloads of this nature from Adobe? (I did set preferences to permit non-Apple Store downloads.)
I can search for the individual updates and find them with a search. I updated Bridge successfully using this method. I then attempted to update Illustrator to 15.0.2, and it appeared to be successful. However, following this Illustrator would no longer open. It had an X through the application and a message appeared on opening that this version of Illustrator would not open on this type of Mac. Is there a particular order in which I must install these updates? As I write, I have unistalled the Suite, reinstalled it to the point where no updates have been attempted.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply, Jeff. The download errors I am receiving are generic, 'download error, try again' type of thing. I did disable Mac's security preference. I also spoke to our IT group about the possibility of things being blocked, but since I can download the updates directly from Adobe, they didn't think I was being blocked. It's hard to determine if the Application Manager is downloading those from some other location that is blocked compared to the manual download location-. So just before I received your answer, I began installing the individual updates, taking a guess as to an optimal order, leaving Bridge, with its shared dependencies until after the core updates were in there. I actually found that some manual updates failed, and these were only successful through AAME after most of the others were installed manually. Here, with all its warts is how I eventually got it all updated, in case anyone else runs into this. Seems like Adobe may have moved things around so that the AAME can no longer find what it needs. I was also informed by Adobe that telephone support for CS5 has ended.
Installed Illustrator 15.0.2 manually, opened successfully
Installed InDesign 7.0.4 manually, opened successfully
Installed Photoshop 12.0.4 manually, opened successfully
Installed Flash Pro CS5 11.0.2 manually, opened successfully.
Installed Dreamweaver 11.0.4 manually, restarted computer. Extension Manager opens then quits unexpectedly.
Installed Extension Manager 5.0.3 manually, permitting extensions updating in Mavericks
Opened Dreamweaver, Extension Manager then worked and finished installing extension.
Installed Adobe Fireworks 11.0.2 manually and opened successfully.
Installed Adobe Media Encoder CS5 5.0.1 AME_5.0.1_multiple_Mac.dmg manually successfully
Installed Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 update manually successfully
Attempted Install of Adobe Player for Embedding 3.1 AdobeAPE3_mul_AdobeUpdate.dmg. failed
Attempted Install of Adobe XMP Panels AdobeXMPPanelsAll-AdobeUpdte.dmg failed
Attempted to get the rest of the way by installing through AAME the remaining pieces. All installed successfully except Adobe Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5 and Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 update and Adobe Player for Embedding 3.1
Installed Adobe Pixel Bender Tookit 2.5 manually successfully.
Installed Camera Raw 6.7.1 manually. (should have been 6.7, but it went in.)
Checked for more updates. Updater still said Adobe 6.7 required and Adobe Player for Embedding.
Ran AAME one more time and Adobe Player for Embedding was installed successfully.
Left 6.7.1 alone despite prompt in AAME to put in 6.7.

CS4 to CS5 Upgrade has install/configuration problems ???

(My system is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit )
Awile back I purchased:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (FULL version) on the Installable DVD's.
...and just recently, last week, I decided to bite the bullit, and go for the 64-bit CS5 version upgrade.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (Upgrade version) -downloadable option (its cost $299.00 US)
Method 1./ Now, this seemed to be more of an installation/config issue for me. but after I ran the CS5 upgrade, it did NOT
upgrade/change any of my Desktop icons/links ?
In other words, the same old CS4 Icons were on the desktop.
Instead, I had to goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\...CS5\..., and then create a shortcut to the CS5 executable onto my Desktop?
Method 2./
ok, this so-called CS5 upgrade option obviously dos NOT work right.
So, I completely UN-installed CS4 and CS5, and started from scratch again, but this time I simply installed just
the CS5 Upgrade binaries.
Well that seemed to work fine, and it also seemed to ievennstall all the 64-bit CS5 modules, though it also created some extra CS4 directories in C:\(x86)Program Files\Adobe... ? why would it do that ?
ok, well has anyone else also experienced any of this upgrade weirdness. ?
Note: I verified my Windows 7 64-bit was up-to-date, and I also "updated" CS5, actually it updates itself.
I have also had a couple "BLUE-screenies", and crashes" in CS5, none of which, in Windows I can really tell what is going on ?, and I never had these issues on CS4 on this same PC.?
I called the 1-800 number for Adobe Technical Support and basically they said the CS5 upgrade that I purchased should have worked fine. uhmmm ya'd think eh?
So, I thought this forum might be more "aware", and/or helpful regarding my Upgrading woes.
any thoughts, would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
Rick.

An Adobe upgrade is an upgrade by price, only. What I mean is that you're buying a new, fully separate version of the Adobe software from whatever your previous version was, and upon installation, your previous version is left intact (hence the reason your icons did not change--CS4 was still installed).
An update, on the other hand (which is what the program automagically did), actually does replace files, but only in the version that you're updating. A semantic issue, perhaps, but an important distinction.
You can run CS4 and CS5 side-by-side if you like, but if you want to be rid of CS4 and maintain only CS5, you need to uninstall CS4--or preferably, reinstall from the OS up. I always like to start fresh when a new suite comes along.

CS5.5 upgrade or fresh install?
