CS5 Upgrade Version Has No Acrobat 9, but my CS4 version is giving me problems

I have recently reinstalled my OS and I am trying to get CS5 working again. I had CS4 and then upgraded to CS5. When I installed my system fresh I did not install CS4 first and just gave CS5 the CS4 serial numebr when it asked for it. CS5 is working fine in all the apps that I have tried to use. The issue that I am having is that I don't have Acrobat 9 as part of that install, so I installed from my CS4 disk and only installed Acrobat Pro. It installed fine, but when I open Acrobat Pro it gives me an error stating that this application was installed as part of a suite and I need to open something from the suite before it will work. Do I have to install Photshop CS4 just to get Acrobat 9 to work? Why doesn't my CS5 Upgrade just include new install files for Acrobat 9?
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Installing CS5 Upgrade version in a "clean"machine"

* Maybe Adobe guys could chip in on this one please (as well as the early adopters in the same situation). *
REASON: I just ordered the base hardware of a new system I7 - 64 bit OS etc.....
I do not intend to load CS4 into it at all because I want a really clean machine from the get go with CS5 and I do not want to uninstall CS4 from my current system at all. It needs to keep working while I break in CS5 and the new system.
QUESTION: I wonder what process will be involved when installing an Upgrade Version of CS5 in a brand new machine that wont have CS4 installed at all. Usually the S/W goes looking for an installed qualifying version. Because of the move to brand new systems and hardware in this release...I expect many users apart from me, will need to know this.
This question is a little premature but I am getting prepared and it will be worth knowing at some point..
We wont see CS5 down here in New Zealand for a little time after the U.S guys get it I suspect on past history. This is not a bad thing actually.

Often (sadly, not always) an upgrade will allow you to install by (1) putting a previous disc in the drive or (2) entering the previous install key
If nobody answers before you receive your install discs, those are the 2 things you could try

How do i install cs5 upgrade version from cs2?

hi
unsure whether this new win8 machine is 32 bit or 64 bit
not sure if my upgrade from cs2 to cs5 purchase is 32 bit or 64 bit

Thank you John,
Very helpful. Unfortunately, when it came to the point that the install asked for the earlier version, it said it was not a valid upgrade version. In seeking an answer to this problem i went onto Adobe chat and was informed that
Laishram: I have checked and see that the serial number for the CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5 product.
Chris: hmmmm. everything i read is that the upgrade version was for cs2. i just purchased it because the computer i had died and i bought a new one. i knew that my upgrade to CS5 version wouldn't work without an earlier version so I bought CS2 on ebay just two weeks ago. what can i do?
Laishram: I am sorry CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5.
I couldn't get more info from Laishram as to WHY is wasn't a "valid upgrade path" and I don't know what "not a valid upgrade path" means but, i'm guessing that i did something wrong when purchasing CS2. I was told that i could use the upgrade version(of CS5) that i purchased (to upgrade FROM CS2 to CS5) to upgrade to CS 6. So I'll have to do that I reckon.

Upgrade version of Lightroom 6 problem. 64bit on a 32bit computer

Hey Adobe. I just bought the download version of Lightroom 6. Upgrade version. Now that I should install the update, i can't because I do not have a 64bit computer. There was not any information that it was only the 64bit version available. So what happen now? Money back or can I download the 32bit version of you? Regards Anders.

you need 64bit, System requirements
Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order

Had hard drive cleaned and am re-installing PS CS5. I have the coupon code but the system is not giving me the serial number.

I did the chat today and the lady said that if I don't have my sales receipt, she can't help me. I didn't need that last time I had to put it back on my computer. How do I get this back on my hard drive?

So let me get this right..... I Pay for Creative Suite 5.   I have my original discs and serial number. I still have the entire box it came in.   I simply need to re-install the product.   I can not use Photoshop because it can not be activated via phone or online. I am supposed to just in a chat page and you are put in a cue with "We are still assisting other customers, thank you for your patience. You can also try ourcommunity forums, where experts are online 24/7."

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.

Upgrading CS2 to CS5.5 under Snow leopard, will that upgraded CS5.5 version work under Lion?

Hello,
I would like to migrate to Lion from Snow Leopard but before I do so, I would like to know whether Adobe CS5.5 upgraded from CS2 while still under Snow Leopard would then work under Lion.
Many thanks!

Thanks a lot Stefan for your answer!
I am using CS2 premium (i.e. Illustrator, Photoshop, Go Live, inDesign and Acrobate 7 Professional) and wish to upgrade to CS5.5 Design Standard + Dreamweaver.
But my question is probably more like: if we upgrade a CS2 product to a CS5.5 product, will some PowerPC code still remain in the upgraded version, thus creating compatibility problems with Lion?
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Jonathan

Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

Hi everyone,
I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5. I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2. I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
Link to product on Staples site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
Your help is greatly appeciated!
Thanks!

The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.

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.

ADOBE Acrobat Pro 9 Pro - Says Upgraded Version but did not purchase as upgrade

I just installed a brand new supposedly unopened ADOBE Acrobat 9 Pro. I installed it with serial number but now it says that the serial number I entered indicates it is for an upgrade version of ADOBE Acrobat 9 Pro. The sales ad said nothing about an upgrade and needing prior version serial number and neither does not box itself. I can't find a phone number for customer service. This follow a previous installation of the trial of ADOBE Acrobat 11 but first time using I was adding comments to review a 50 page document and whole thing was lost. Help!?

To be very clear, Adobe hasn't sold licenses either for new installations or upgrades to Acrobat 9 in a number of years and it is most highly unlikely that you made this purchase through an authorized Adobe reseller. Adobe Customer Support cannot assist you with this. You need to go back to whoever sold this to you. When purchasing licenses for old, out-of-date versions of software and/or from non-authorized resellers, buyer beware! There are quite a few pirates and scammers out there, especially on eBay and even as third party resellers via Amazon!

I am trying to download CS5.5, which I purchased. But I can only find the upgrade software to download. Where is the non-upgrade version of CS5.5???

I am trying to download CS5.5, which I purchased. But I can only find the upgrade software to download. Where is the non-upgrade version of CS5.5???

There is no upgrade version. The serial number that you use dictates whether or not the software is treated as an upgrade. If you purchased it as an upgrade then the serial number you have is an upgrade serial number and that will require you to provide proof that you qualify ro install/use the upgrade.

I bought Adobe CS5.5 Design Standard. Acrobat Pro X is there included. But when I want to start it, it says that the serial number is invalid. Like a test version which is finished. What do I have to do?

If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online. If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.
