CS5 education Upgrade to CS6

Hi, I am a little confused about upgrade a edu version. I got a edu version of photoshop CS 4 extended, got the free CS5 (grace period) and now I want to upgrade to CS6. As I am no student any more I hope I can simply buy the regular upgrade without problems?

And now I am confused and angry.
My upgrade from CS5 Extended Edu to CS6 (no Edu) lead me to a standard CS6 without the extended features. I assume to get the CS6 Extended. What the...
Edit: I see now that I pressed the wrong button on purchasing the upgrade. Shame on me... The CS6 Extended upgrade is more expensive. So I have to deal with the support now...

Can I buy both CS5 Education Edition and CS6 Education Edition?

Hello everyone!
I recently bought Photoshop CS5 Extended Student Edition. Now I realised that CS6 is soon to be released and I'm all excited about all the new features. The education page of Adobe says that I am only allowed to buy one product every 12 months. My Question now is:
Are CS5 & CS6 considered the same product and only different versions or are they different products? So can I buy CS6 Student Edition when I gets released or do I have to do the commercial upgrade from my Student Edition? The latter one wouldn't be my favorite choice because ~450€ is a lot of money for a student...
Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend!

If you bought CS5 Edu. very recently, you should get the upgrade to CS6 Edu. for free.

This is what I have done. CS5 Edu. for $199 with a free upgrade to CS6.
Hope this helps, and you are able to get it.

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.

I purchased CS5 -free upgrade to CS6

I purchased CS5 in April of this year... At purchase I was informed I could get a free upgrade to CS6 ... How do I upgrade?

That sounds like an online store. If so, have you tried logging on to your account, and checking 'My orders'? I am not sure how the free upgrade would work, and I have a feeling that trying to phone Adobe is going to be a long and frustrating experience.
There are quite a few Google hits HERE

How can I check the price of upgrading CS5 educational edition to CS6 educational edition?

How can I check the price of upgrading
"Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium Student and Teacher Edition" to
"Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium Student and Teacher Edition"?
Accroding to http://www.adobe.com/hk_en/products/cs6/faq.html , "owners of a CS5 or CS5.5 suite edition qualify for upgrade pricing to a CS6 suite edition."
I can only found the price for CS6 full version from the site. But I can't found the upgrade price. Where can I check the upgrade price?
Thanks.

There are no upgrades for edu products. You simply buy a complete new license at the discounted price.

Can I still upgrade to CS6

I'm setting up a replacement laptop and want to upgrade to CS6

Again, what do you mean by "upgrade link on the Adobe site"?
Are you talking about the link to buy CS6 as an upgrade from CS5? CS4 is totally out of the upgrade loop.
Or are you referencing a link to download the CS6 trial version?
The former is available at the Adobe Store simply by following the steps to purchase CS6. After clicking on Buy and selecting your platform, Mac or Win, in the next step you have a chance to select Upgrade from a dropdown menu. Remember you have to have a legitimate copy of CS5 to upgrade to CS6. CS4 does not qualify.
The trial version is also available at the Adobe site, but that's the one you really have to drill down to. That's why I suggested Google, e.g.:
https://www.google.com/search?q=repair+psd+file&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en- US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&channel=rcs&fp=74c7ae8e827 af690&q=download+photoshop+cs6+trial+version&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&safe=off
If you already had CS6 Photoshop 13.0.0 or even 13.0.4 for the Mac and wanted to update that, there is a direct download to the Photoshop CS6 13.0.5 update
http://download.cnet.com/Adobe-Photoshop-CS6/9241-2192_4-12694162.html?messageID=10871113
You can also use a FTP client (or your browser if it supports FTP) and download from the Adobe FTP server (ftp.adobe.com). The files are in /pub/adobe/cs6/downloads :
Windows (launch the .exe which will open the 7z file):
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.7z
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.exe
Mac :
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/cs6/downloads/Photoshop_13_LS6.dmg
Previous versions are also available in /pub/adobe/photoshop/win and /pub/adobe/photoshop/mac
These folders are public so you don't need any identifier to connect.

Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

Is there an educational upgrade from PS CS5.1 to PS CS6?

Educational versions can be upgraded to a commercial license, but you do not get an educational price break, simply because the cost of a new educational version is cheaper than a commercial upgrade if you still qualify for educational pricing.
If you no longer qualify, then, yes, you can upgrade to a commercial license at the regular commercial upgrade rate,

Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to CS6 issue

Hi there,
I have just upgraded my Photoshop CS5 to Photoshop CS6 but when I enter my serial number for my current version of Photoshop, I get an error message saying my serial number is incorrect. Am I doing something wrong? Appreciate any help at all.

Wow, I hadn't realized Adobe was going to keep the upgrade offer from Photoshop CS5 12.x to CS6 13.0 open after Photoshop CC 14.0 was released.
To add to what's been said in response to your question about the Student/Teacher offers...

I've got Photoshop CS5 Extended Student and Teacher Edition - Upgrade to CS6 Extended possible?

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I don't want to subscribe to the Creative Cloud. I just want to buy an upgrade. If there is one, please tell me, where I can find it.
Thanks in Advance.

There are no upgrades from educational vesion to educational version at the new version is cheaper than then upgrade price.

CS6 Education Upgrade?

We purchased Production Premium CS5.5 with the education discount in November of 2011, just before the CS6 announcement. We want to upgrade to CS6, but can't find education upgrade pricing. Will we have to pay the full upgrade amount? Seems a bit unfair, within 6 months.
Where, on this huge Adobe website, do we go.
Thanks,

There is no educational upgrade. You can purchase an upgrade (to the the commercial version) or you can purchase a new educational license (usually as inexpensive as the upgrade price or less expensive).

I want to upgrade to CS6 Production Premium suite from CS5.5. Can I use CS6 upgrade made for CS5, or do I have to use upgrade that specifically states for CS5.5.

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.

Free Upgrade to CS6 with Purchase of CS5.5

In case anyone is considering moving to CS5.5 now would be a good time.
Any CS5.5 purchase now gets a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.
Bob

Why not just wait? Or is CS6 likely to cost more?
Pricing is not yet announced for CS6, but if you buy CS5.5 you get to use that while you wait for CS6, and you can take your time moving to CS6 until the first service update is released if you're one of those folks who likes to let other users find the bugs that got missed during testing. There's almost always a bug-fix update in the first 90 days or so.
Another reason not to wait is that if you do any work with other people, they are unlikely to all upgrade to CS6 at the same time.
Since new releases of InDesign cannot directly save old version files, you'll need to export files from CS6 to IDML and run the risk that the export might be imperfect -- if you need to work with other people.
But if you buy CS5.5 now (and get the free upgrade to CS6), then you'll have CS5.5 and you can use it if you need, to when working with others.
Also:
Are there system requirements listed for CS6? Currently have an iMac i7 running 10.6.8. Thanks for the notification on the upgrade!!!
I can't really imagine a processor as new as a Core i7 would not be supported. You should be fine.
Similarly, there's a huge installed base of Snow Leopard, so that should also be fine.

Performance Problems PrPro CS5 - Upgrade to CS6?

Hi
we often notice massive performance problems with PrPro CS5 here.
e.g. last week we were shooting with a Sony NEX-VG10. (MediaInfo:)
Format: AVC
Format profile: [email protected]
Format settings, CABAC: Yes
Format settings, ReFrames: 2 frames
Format settings, GOP: M=2, N=13
Bit rate: 16.0 Mbps
Width: 1 920 pixels
Height: 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio: 16:9
Frame rate: 25 fps
After linking footage into PrPro plaback stutters.
PrPro is very often not responsive to the keyboard at all.
Sometimes PrPro needs some seconds before playback starts.
This way editing is a pain...
No fx in timeline, only one or two clips. Same behaviour if I play a clip in the source window.
Project and sequence settings are correct. Playback quality set to 1/4.
These problems occure in several projects with footage from different cameras.
PrPro works ok with this (PAL/SD-)footage for example - MediaInfo:
Format: DV
Commercial name: DVCPRO
Width: 720 pixels
Height: 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio: 16:9
About the computer:
Dell Precision WorkStation T5500
24 GB RAM
2 processors w/ 8 cores together: Intel Xeon CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz
System: 250 GB (SSD)
Media: 2 TB (this is one normal internal hard drive, no raid)
NVIDIA Quadro 4000 (driver version 297.03)
connected to internet (is a must in this company)
connected to intranet, server (is a must in this company, too)
optimized for performance
windows firewall active
AVIRA Porfessional
What would PrPro force to work with HD footage?
Add an RAID? internal/external?
Upgrade to CS6?
Edncode footage to another codec before linking it into PrPro? (which codec? encode with AME?)
Buy a new processor? (i7? which one?)
Buy any Hardware pieces?
TIA for your guidiance and best regards.

Take a look at the Dell T7400 currently at rank # 568, 'Base2008PT1' on Benchmark Results. It is somewhat similar to your own system, but has more memory, a better video card and some raid0 arrays. Nevertheless, it is around 3.4 times slower than a fast system. My guess is that your system is even slower.
The material you try to edit is very demanding and requires a beefy computer. Even though there is nothing wrong with the dual Xeon E5620's, their clock speed works against you (I have the same CPU's in a file server, but that is far less demanding than editing), as does the amount of memory in the system. You can be helped with more disks, but don't expect miraculous performance improvements. But all little things help.
The alternative is a complete new system, but that can be pricey. Even if you build it yourself, see Planning & Building a NLE system it can be costly. It gives you very fast performance as demonstrated on the Reflections page and you should not get such a system from Dell or HP, unless you have unlimited funds.
