CS5 Master Collection - Student Version

A local student is selling a new copy of CS5 master Collection which he received as a gift. Unfortunately, he cannot use it because he has a PC and the version he received is for a Mac. I'm considering purchasing it from him but I want to make sure it is a legitimate copy that is unregistered. How can I determine that? Should I ask him for the serial number so I can check with Adobe?
Thanks!

Student and other educational versions of Adobe software is not legally transferable. If the student received a copy for the wrong platform, he or she should call Adobe Customer Support and see whether it is possible to exchange for the proper platform. But that software cannot be transfered to you.

  • Where can I buy CS5/5.5 Master Collection - Student Version?

    I can't afford the CS6 master collection nor the CC Cash Cow, so I wanted to buy an older version like cs5, which totally does the job. Any ideas where to get a cheap copy?

    Bestfiction please be aware that one of the restrictions of the education version is that the software license can not be transfered.  If you are looking for a used version of the software I would recommend looking for a full version of the software as opposed to an education version or upgrade version.
    Finally please also be aware we do have a Student and Teacher edition of Creative Cloud available at $19.99.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.edu.html.  I understand that you do not wish to subscribe to the Creative Cloud but I did want to ensure you were aware of this offer as well.

  • CS5 Master Collection Update Fails Mac OS 10.9.2

    Hello All,
    I have a CS5 Master Collection Student Teacher Edition installed on a Mac Pro, which is licensed, registered, and works perfectly. I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9.2 which I installed the entire Master Suite Collection on with no issues during the install. I use Photoshop mostly and have not had any issues using it over the past week since the installation. I noticed that the Adobe Application Manager Icon had 11 updates which I have tried to install multiple times over the past week and receive the below. If anyone could assist me I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  • Loading CS5 Master Collection onto new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive

    I have a complete, legitimate, registered version of CS5 Master Collection. I also have a new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive. I have lost the disk, but have the box and confirmation email when I registered the product, with the key code. This product cost alot of money and I really need to get it onto my new machine. Can I do this without having the additional cost of a new DVD drive? I already paid for and own the software with keys so it's not like I'm trying to bend anything or do it for free. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

  • Upgrade from CS2 (PC) to CS5 Master Collection (Mac) ?

    Hi,  I'm currently having CS2 Creative Suite Premium (PC version), and I'm  interested to upgrade to CS5 Master Collection (Mac version). Am I  entitled for upgrade using Adobe product no 65065593, or should I use something else?  I'm a company user (not home/education). Best regards, Marti

    In order to upgrade crossplatform, you'll need to call Adobe directly.

  • CS5 Master Collection trial download vs packaged version

    Hello all,
    I was wondering if there are any differences from downloading the trial version of cs5 master collection vs getting the adobe cs5 physical package?  excluding manuals and media. 
    Specifically are you getting all the software in both options?
    thanks

    Oh the trials page Adobe has this in fine print:
    *The trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro (Windows only) is available separately for download or with your trial DVD set. A trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac OS is currently not available. However, the full version of Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac OS is included in the full version of Master Collection available for purchase. Encore CS5 is not available as a trial. Encore CS5 will be installed as part of the trial for Creative Suite 5 Master Collection but will not be available for use until you purchase. The trial versions of After Effects CS5, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and Soundbooth CS5 do not include some features that depend on software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of this product.

    i just wanted to know if i can download the Mac version and use that cereal number to activate it?
    No.
    Serial numbers are Mac only or Windows only. There is a platform swap process (from Mac to PC etc) but only for CS6.
    As a CS5 owner, your choices are to either pay to upgrade to CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud.

  • Can i reinstall Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version) after graduation ?

    Suppose i have bought Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) and that after my graduation i encounter a problem whereby i have to reinstall windows and as a consequence reinstall Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) in order to continue using it.
    1) Will i be able to reinstall Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) with my serial number even after graduation ?
    2) Can i use Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) for commercial purpose. Say i have developed a plugin or a quicktime based product for adobe after effects and that i have my own website and want to sell my products on my websites. Will i be allowed to do it ?
    3) Can i use Adobe CS6 Master collection ( Students and Teachers Version ) in my small business given that i have a partner developer ? So in all a two-person small business !

  • Master Collection Student and Teacher Licensing Commercial Use?

    Hello,
    I purchased the CS5 Master Collection from my college under this program.
    I know it's a perpetual license and that I can upgrade to a commercial version of CS6.
    I live in North America and purchased CS5 in North America as well, so I think it's permitted to use this for commercial work. Does anyone know for certain?
    EDIT: After a lot of reading through the forums and contacting Adobe helpdesk, it appears that I can use the CS5 Student and Teacher Licensing for commercial work now that I've graduated.
    Here's what the packaging looks like. There isn't a warning about non commercial use, so I'm going to go ahead and do some freelance work:
    Thank you, Adobe!

    Contact support directly by phone or web chat. Nobody here can straighten out serial number issues. If you have older versions of Acrobat installed, uninstalling them or running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool and Acrobat Cleaner Tool may resolve any potential conflicts.

  • Need to Re-install CS5 Master Collection without CD

    Hi,
    I purchased a student edition of CS5 Master Collection in 2010. I backed up my applications, to update my Operating system, but since re-installing the new software, I get an error code: 6. I haven't been able to find the original Master Collection Download CD, to reinstall the software. I still have the Serial #, but is there somewhere else I can re-install the software?
    Thanks,
    Jackson

  • How do I get a copy of Acrobat with my CS5 Master Collection???

    I activated my Adobe CS5 Master Collection (running on Snow Leopard) with a serial number purchased from CDW and everything went smoothly, but after a few days of using the core products I typically use I noticed Acrobat was not included in the installed software.
    Now, Adobe lists Acrobat PRO as an included product in the Master Collection and rightfully so since it contans just about every product they make.
    When I emailed Adobe about this but the only response I got was some  pre-formatted auto-response probably sent to me from the help desk in  India or something. The auto-response said absolutely nothing about how to obtain a copy for the Mac, and just had a link taking me to the Acrobat home page, which basically says there is no trial version of Acrobat for Mac available for download.
    I gave up on it since I do not use Acrobat very much but now I am in a situation where I do need to have Acrobat Pro to finish a job and I cannot figure out how to get a copy installed with the Master Collection.
    There was no disclaimer indicating that you would not be able to get a copy of Acrobat when I purchased the downloadable version vs. buying a boxed DVD set, so I am expecting there must be a way.
    Adobe's help has been pretty much useless when I emailed them, and I cannot find anyone with the same problem on Google or in the Adobe forums, so is there someone out there who can give me the answer or help me?
    If I have to purchase a seperate copy of Acrobat so be it, but since it is supposed to be included with the Master Suite that would be kind of stupid if I have to purchase a copy of Acrobat seperately.
    Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!!!

    This is just getting beyond ridiculous...
    AND I can see from several forum threads I am not alone in this issue.
    Adobe, you absolutely SUCK for making it so difficult to install this software. I am normally a fan of Adobe products, but now that you guys have bought out all your competiton you are getting lazy and stupid.
    This is the most ridiculous crap I've ever seen when trying to install a product I PURCHASED!!!!!!!
    So, after over another week (I have been trying to find a way to install Acrobat with my purchased copy of the Master Suite for MONTHS)...  My IT guy finally gets me the installer DMG for Acrobat and now I cannot install it with my master collection because the serial numbers are not the same?
    I never got a god damn serial number for Acrobat Pro when purchasing the master collection.
    Asking Adobe for help is totally worthless and not even worth taking the time to do so because all they give you is some BS pre-recorded response that doesn't help you with JACK...
    It has been a long time since I've had a problem installing a piece of software I PURCHASED.
    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    YOU SERIOUSLY SUCK ADOBE ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Extended not available for CS5 Master Collection

    Hello Forum Folks:
    I have a volume license account with 5 CS5 Master Collections.
    As part of the CS5 MC suite Acrobat 9 Pro is included.
    I was told by a sales rep that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended cannot be purchased as an upgrade from a suite product.
    If I choose to purchase Acrobat 9 Pro Extended it would be as a stand alone product license at full price for all five licenses.
    MY DILEMMA:
    I only need one of the features that Acrobat 9 Pro Extended offers that's not included in the Pro version.
    If I purchase 5 stand alone copies of Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, I will have 5 additonal licenses of Acrobat
    outside of my 5 CS5 Master Collection licenses to keep up with.
    So in effect I'll have 10 licenses of 2 different versions of Acrobat 9 Pro and Extended to upgrade
    sometime in the future in order to keep all uniform and in sync.
    This is not an efficient nor economical way to stay current with Adobe's fine products.
    The Case manager I spoke with did a fine job attempting to assist me but was unable to find an effective solution.
    She recommended that I post on the forum and an Adobe staff member might be able to contact me
    and address my concerns. Case Number: #204262178
    Thank You / Peace

    I respect that you are employed by MicroSoft, but the compatability center is not always accurate.  It indicated that Adobe Pro 8 was compatabile for both 32 bit and 63 bit - but it is not.  I have upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Extended because Adobe says that this is compatable with 64 bit.  The Microsoft compatability center also says that v9 is compatable with 64 bit.  But it is Not.  I have upgraded Adobe to 9.3.0, and it is Still not working.  I now have $700 invested in Adobe software that is non-functional due to W7 64 bit.
    So although users can check the compatability center - as I did prior to purchasing my new laptop - but it may not be accurate.
    And yes, I have updated the compatability center to indicate that the information there is incorrect.
    I have searched/googled everything that I can think of, and still nothing helps.  If you have a suggestion how to make this work, I am listening.

  • Missing files in cs5 master collection

    hi
    i downloaded the cs5 master collection, but in the installation its not showing english in the list of languages. what do i do now? can i get the language files for english from anywhere???

    Which Adobe.com website did you download the software from? In English speaking countries, you should automatically get a download of a version with English. Otherwise, you will get a version with the local language.
