CS5 Upgrade by download?

Hi,
I've just upgraded my CS4 by downloading CS5 upgrade from Adobe UK. Previously I've bought from a reseller, and Adobe generously gave me a free month's subscription to Lynda.com. Does anyone know if this offer is still available?
Thanks, Jim

Activation went through automatically, since Adobe seemed to identify me at once. Do I need to register the new upgrade?
Edit: I've just checked with Adobe Online. CS5 is listed as registered on 24/0810.
Thanks, Jim

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.

How do I get CS5 upgrade to recognize CS2 serial number

Copy of CS5 upgrade whether downloaded or off CD will not recognize the CS2 serial number as a good number -- how do I load this on a new computer

Found the answer -- http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-serial-number-qualifying-product.html
Contact Adobe Support for unlocking
If you can't resolve the issue, an Adobe Support agent can help. Adobe Support uses a process called unlocking to bypass the Serial Number Upgrade screen.
Important: Adobe Support cannot unlock your serial number until they verify that you qualify for the upgrade. When you contact Adobe Support, be at your computer to complete the following upgrade verification workflow.
Chat with an agent
Click Chat Now, above, to contact an Adobe Support agent.
Do one of the following in the Serial Number Upgrade screen:
Windows: Press Ctrl+Shift and then double-click.
Mac OS: Press Command+Shift and then double-click.
The Upgrade Code window appears.
Read the Challenge Code to the Adobe Support agent.
I was able to get the unlock code by chatting with an agent -- almost 2 hours but have the product CS5.5 Design Premium installed and it now shows as registered in my account. Thank you for your help

How I will be able to download or upgrade Indesign, upgrade fron CS3 to Cs5.5 or Download Indesign 5

My In Design from my CS5.5 don't install some components they are wrong o corrupted. So I have installed my old CS3 to see if I can upgraded to CS5.5. It is posible to do that. Or How I can download Indesign CS5.5.
Yours sincerely
Aji-Picante

You cannot upgrade from CS3 to CS5.5 now as CS5.5 is no more in picture. Instead, you can upgrade to CS6.
However, if you need the download link for inDesign or any other CS5.5 applications, you can use the below link to download them and then serialize using your serial key for CS5.5

Make sure to read the download instructions properly before downloading CS5.5

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.

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

Failure to initialize Photoshop CS5 Upgrade

I bought a download version of the CS5 upgrade. I am on dial up at home which makes such a dowload impossible (52 hours!) so I took my lap top to the library where they have high speed and downloaded there, after much difficulty. I then transferred it via USB stick to my computer at home where it shows on my desktop (this is a method I have used for numerous downloads in the past) I click on the Install app. and then get a message that intialization failed but offers no reason. No reason is offered in the Supporst Advisor either. I have tried many times to re-install but the result is always the same. I went back to my lap top to check and everything is working fine there but that is not where I want to use it I only used the lap top to facilitate the download. Can anyone offer a solution?

You state that you had much difficulty downloading it at the library.
What kind of difficulty?
Usually when an installer fails to initialize, it's because of a corrupt file. Either the installer (alias) or the package it points to is missing data.

CS5 upgrade messed up Acrobat 9?

I installed CS5 upgrade but now Acrobat 9 is not behaving! The version I currently have on my main machine is 9.3.2. On another machine I have version 9.1.2 and it converted a document from word perfectly. the 9.3.2 conversion is a mess. I have put the 2 pages up: http://kayolson.com/9.1.2.pdf and http://kayolson.com/9.3.2.pdf
Please tell me it's the upgrade as I have tried everything imaginable. Further, I made a mistake when I ordered the upgrade and didn't check the box for the disk product, but download, which I am still in the process of trying to resolve; however, it is impossible to get CS5 off my machine and get back to the old Acrobat.
Any help is much appreciated!

The syntax '{ HYPERLINK "mailto:[email protected]" }' is the code that Word uses to display entry into custom fields in Word. One gets this type of printout when one sets the print options under 'Tools=>Options' in Word to print the 'Field codes'. You should get the same result if you print the document to your real printer, the Acrobat PDF printer, or use PDF Maker.
You must change this setting in Word.

CS5 upgrade re install problems

Hi I have a new macbook pro and I am trying to re install my photoshop CS5,which is an upgrade from CS2,on this from the upgrade disc.
As this is an upgrade disc I require the original CS2 to install.
I am told I cannot use my copy of CS2 from my old computer by adobe help and need to download a version of CS2 with an attached new serial number from a link they supplied.
I followed the prompts on this link to the download page which had a list of five different download components.
I spent an hour of download time and when I attempted to open them only one would open. CS2 creative suite disc one.
Clicked on Adobe installer in the application and recieved error message, "Cannot open because Power PC applications are no longer supported"
I am very frustrated that this seemingly easy re install is becoming very complicated.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Geoffrey

As this is an upgrade disc I require the original CS2 to install.
You don't have to install the original full version in order to install the CS5 upgrade. Forget about installing CS2 since it will not install on modern Intel-based Macs.
Upgrade installation files include the full program code. The serial number tells Adobe if you've installed an upgrade or a full version.
Just install CS5, enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.

Install photoshop cs5 upgrade on windows 8

I have a new computer running windows 8. I went to my account and dowloaded cs3, and installed it. I then tried to download and install my cs5 upgrade and it will not install. It will unzip the files, but won't upgrade the software. I'm guessing it may have something to do with the windows 8 "install as administrator" irritation but I cannot figure out how to do this install as it's 2 files with a downloader. For cs3 I just save it to my disc then right clicked and selected "run as administator".
How can I get my Photoshop CS5 installed?
thanks

Extract the 7z file with WinZip, then run the setup.exe.

I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to updgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities. Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available?

I currently have Photoshop CS5 standard, and want to upgrade to CS5 Extended to get the 3D capabilities. Is this possible, I don't see any CS5 upgrades available? I tried to download a new trial version as well, but my current operating system will not support it, so I'd like to stick w/ a version of CS5 that will allow me to work in 3D. What are my options?

You can upgrade to CS6 extended for $400

PS CS5 Upgrade Will No Longer Install from DVD

Due to a system issue, I had to uninstall everything, including PS.
In trying to reinstall PS CS5 (Upgrade version) from the DVD, not all of the components are installing correctly. Both the DVD and drive have been prioperly cleaned.
Any suggestions as to what to do? i.e. does Adobe provide the ability to download this version, or.....???? Suggestions.

Yes, you should be able to just download the trial and then use your registration-code.

Reloading CS5 upgrade using CS2 serial number

Several years ago I upgraded from Photoshop CS2 to CS5. I recently had to have my computer reformatted. When I have tried to reload my CS5 upgrade using the CS2 serial number it isn't accepted. I went to the Adobe site and downloaded CS2 but I still can't reload my CS5 disk. From Adobe it seems I need a code to unlock the CS2 activation but I can't seem to get help this way. Now what do I do?

Now what do I do?
No need to -re-install CS2 at all.
Just install the CS5 upgrade (the upgrade contains the full program code), enter your CS5 upgrade serial number then enter your CS2 serial number when prompted.
