CS6 Install - Uninstall CS5?

I have upgraded Premiere Pro and Production Premium....well, more than a few times. Usually I do a fresh install, bite the bullet, uninstall the prior version and install the new one. But this time, since it is not at the same time as an OS upgrade, for the first time I am considering keeping Production Premium Suite and Premiere Pro 5 installed while installing CS6.
I know that EVERY version of Production Premium Suite/Premiere Pro has it's install challenges. But other than those....I have not even begun to cull those lists, are there known issues in my keeping my CS5 prior versions of all these programs lying around? I mean do the software upgrades fight each other? Do they start sharing preferences?
Part of me says just uninstall the prior version and go for it. But trying ot capture all of my preference files, etc. is a hassle. In the past, just buying a new hard drive and installing the new version solves that problem. With an SSD and no new OS, that is not going to happen.
I guess I could just back it up and I'll have access to all the files if I need them. Perhaps that is the best solution.
So is the best choice:
1) Uninstall 5.5 then install 6?
2) Or install 6, and at some later date uninstall 5?
Thanks for any input on this.

@ leslie
I think Prelude took OnLocations place but there isnt any live capture.
I read somewhere in the OnLocation forun I think that Todd said that maybe some of the feature of OnLocation might merge into Prelude but dont know when or what will make it. I guess its just up to what features people are asking for.

Whenever I have installed a newer version of Adobe it has always taken over as the default when I double click.

Install Premium Prod. CS6 without uninstalling CS5.5 ???

Hi,
I want to install the CS 5.5 -> CS6 Premium Prod. Suite Upgrade.
Can I just leave CS 5.5 on my machine (and then have two Suites running) or do I have to uninstall 5.5 first?
I was not able to find an answer to that anywhere yet:-(
Thanks a lot!
Christian

The CS6 install is completely separate from the CS5.5. Leaving 5.5 in place is not only okay but it’s actually a good idea in case you have issues with CS6 or you must work on a legacy project.

Can I install Photoshop CS6 before uninstalling CS5 on a Win 7 PC or must I deactivate CS5 first?

Can I install CS6 over the top of CS5 or should CS5 be deactivated prior to installing the new version?

Both are different products and can co exist with each other. The choice is yours if you want to keep both or either. Also there are a few more specifics that determine the answer to your question.
Is Photoshop CS 5 a part of a suite or an individual product that you installed ?
Is Photoshop CS 5 an upgrade from a previous version or a full product ?
Thanks

CS6 Install Affected CS5?

I've installed CS6 - all went OK.
However, I've noticed something. It seems it may have affected CS5 somehow. When working in CS5 and saving the image in PSD format within CS5, the photo concerned will not appear in CS5 Bridge - it only appears in CS6 Bridge.
Any ideas how to rectify this?

If you're having problems downloading or installing/uninstalling CS5

It seems there's a fair few people running into various challenges with download or [un]installation of CS5 (or CS4) here... Wanted to mention we just posted a new article this morning that may be of some assistance to folks working through some of the more common issues, in case it's helpful.

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5? If so, how do I do it?

This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
In a nutshell:
If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6. The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work. When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

Uninstalling cs5.5 to install cs6

If i install cs6, will it over write cs5 or will i need to uninstall cs5 and then install cs6?

Creative Suite 6 will not affect your installation of Creative Suite 5.

Do I really need to install/uninstall CS6 (keeping Encore) to burn my Premiere CC project 2 DVD?

Do I really need to install/uninstall CS6 (keeping - super secret does not exist on the radar - Encore) to burn my Premiere Pro CC project to DVD? Is Adobe f**king serious?

Yes... except you do not NEED to uninstall PProCS6
There is NO EncoreCC, so it is use EncoreCS6 or a different program

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6?

Do I need to uninstall CS5 before loading CS6? I purchased the full version of CS6.

Hi pamelakirkpatrick ,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You dont need to uninstall existing version to install new version.
You might consider wiping the existing version if you no longer use it as storing multiple versions can occupy a lot of hard disk space.
Please reply for any assistance.
Thanks

Can't uninstall CS5 or CS6.

Hi,
I'm having a problem when I try to uninstall CS5 and CS6 suites on my iMac.
I installed CS5 suite like six months ago, then, two weeks ago I installed CS6, but before I uninstalled some components from the CS5 suite. Just remains Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
I installed CS6 and all good, then, I had some problems with Encore CS6 so I found a post that says that I should use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. I did use it, all good.
Today I'm having a second problem with links between Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6, so I tought it could be because of Photoshop CS5 installed in the same Application folder. So I decided to uninstall that application, but, I can't.
I can't uninstall any Adobe application from my iMac, I click on any 'Uninstall X application' and just appears this error: "The alias "UNINSTALL X ADOBE APPLICATION" can't be opened because the original item can't be found." The uninstaller just dissapeared for both Suites and I need to uninstall them.
Can you help me community?
Where can I get the Uninstaller for Adobe applications?
Thanks.

Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall.

Do I uninstall CS5 & CS6 before downloading CC?

I have Master Creative Suite CS5 (disk) installed on my iMAC running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. Some time ago I subscribed to Creative Cloud and installed CS6. Major computer problem caused me to have to wipe the hard drive and restore from the backup disk. My last backup was September last year which was before I installed the Creative Cloud CC apps. I would like to install the CC apps. Do I uninstall both the CS5 and CS6 apps first? At this point neither of the CS5 or CS6 apps have been updated.

Hi Stormy_Weather,
It would be best to uninstall CS5 and CS6 before installing Creative Cloud applications as the previous versions are restored from a backup which might cause issues.
Regards,
Akshay

Is CS6 Upgrade supposed to install over CS5?

The other night I installed an upgrade of CS6 on my mac. Being an upgrade, I assumed it would install over my version of CS5, but it did not. So now I have CS5 and CS6 upgrade on my mac. Do I simply uninstall the old CS5? Or do I reinstall the CS6 again hoping it will install over the CS5? Also, I installed Lightroom 4 on my mac - it did install over Lightroom 3.

Thank you so much for your quick response. I'll not drag to the trash!

I am buying CS6 update. Do I uninstall CS5 and Bridge 5 first?

I have CS5 and Bridge 5. (W7) Do I uninstall them prior to installing retail CS6 update?

Thanks, Curt Y. I am inclined to uninstall CS5 and Bridge first, in view of your comments. I am not clear if the CS6 version of Bridge is different to the CS5 version. If the same I will leave Bridge as is. My photos are all backed up several times in W Explorer so not worried about losing anything. I assume the Bridge cache will re- poulate. Last point - I use TWAIN with 32 bit CS5 as I like its flexibility when scanning with my Canon scanners (35 mm to A4 with different dpi) I believe there is a new TWAIN plug in for CS6 32 bit. The old one in CS5 caused CS5 to crash if one used the "File, Automate, Batch" command so I imported in 32 bit and did the batch work in 64 bit - slightly inconvenient but WIA is not an answer and TWAIN is so nuch more convenient. If anyone could comment on this I would be grateful.

Installing AI CS5 after AI CS6

I do know that this is generally a no no... but just wondering if it's actually ok and won't cause problems. OS is Win7 Ultimate...

Doug, Larry... thanks for your replies.
Doug, I know both can be installed at the same time but you can't run them at the same time... if for no other reason but the licensing ones.
Larry, that's what I was afraid of. But just wonder here... the system that I'm looking to add AI CS5 on is 64bit and running only AI CS6 64bit and 32 bit is not installed. No, that wouldn't help... the libraries are common to both 32 and 64 bit... Guess the safest would be to uninstall AI CS6, install CS5 and then reinstall CS6. PITA.... oh well...

CS5 to CS6 install

I have CS5 (extended) on my computer now. I just bought CS6 (not extended) thru Amazon.com (no Cloud involved). I would like an explanation of how the installation process goes. Does CS6 override or uninstall CS5?
And is it possible to have both CS5 and CS6 on the same computer at the same time? I do know that I can install Phoroshop on two computers, I just have to decide whether I want to do that.
Thank you

I can (and sometimes do) run multiple versions of Photoshop on my Mac. You just have to launch the older version(s) first.
EDIT: As a precaution, I assign different drives as scratch disks for each version that is running.
