CS6 upgrade for Design Premium collection

What with the release of the Photoshop CS6 Beta I was wondering when, and if, Adobe plans to release a CS6 upgrade for their Design Premium collection?
I have been using CS5 since it came out.
Thank you,
Diane

Thank you Bob for answering so quickly. With that knowledge I can best outline my course of action for upgrades to my system in preparation for CS6. Like upgrading to Lion. I'm on a Mac Pro Quad Core screamer.
I am excited about the upgrades and look forward to more information on them.
Having been in the graphic design and print production industry for 40 years (geeesh has it been 'that' long?) I am still totally amazed at the advances in the industry. And still as excited about it as the first day I sat down to a keyboard punching TTST tape that was fed into a Photomix.
Again, thank you.

Free CS6 upgrade for student master collection at $599?

Our school sells the Master Collection for $599 (currently CS5.5). I would like to buy it and the school staff assures me that I'd get the free upgrade to CS6 if I bought it now. However, that price (which they've had for awhile now, and is not listed as a special or sale price for them) seems to be less than the normal educational price for the Master Collection. They say the price will go up when they have CS6 to sell.
The adobe upgrade policy says that the following are invalid: "Receipts showing a product price that is discounted more than 25% off the Adobe retail or educational price (some product exceptions apply)"
What is the regular educational price for the CS5.5 Master Collection and does a purchase now at my school qualify for the free upgrade to CS6 Master Collection when it is released? The price listed on the adobe site for CS6 Master Collection is $799, which would make our school's price 25.03% off that.
I want to buy now but want to be sure to qualify for the discount.
2nd question: if this is eligible for the upgrade, can I buy the Mac version and then switch to the PC version later? Our school is out of stock on the PC collection and won't get any in until May 4th. (which is cutting it very close to cutoff date for eligibility on upgrades).

I'm also in the same situation, kind of. I already got my cs5.5 master collection through my school on the 26th. But every other post I've read about the upgrade only says Creative Suite cs5.5 will get upgrade. So I'm trying to find out if people who got the master collection (which comes with the Creative Suites) are eligible for upgrades complimentary? Any help answers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unable to upgrade adobe design premium from cs5.5 to cs6. Problem with eligibility of cs5.5 serial number

I upgraded from design premium cs5.5 to design premium cs6 and am unable to install. I get all the way to where it asks for the serial number of my prior product. Then it complains that the serial number dosent represent an eligible product. The install is on a new machine that has never had the adobe product installed. I unregistered the cs5.5 product on my old machine before trying to install cs0.

Contact serial number support by web chat.

CS6 trial for design and web premium

I downloaded the CS6 trial for design and web premium. Now I want to purchase the CS6 design standard. when I go to purchase software, won't they charge me for design premium?
basically I downloaded a package I don't need. I just need the standard version.

you should be able to do this efficiently via adobe application manager: helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/uninstall-creative-suite-cs5-cs5.html
then run the cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

Upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium

Can I upgrade cs3 design premium to cs 5.5 web premium and will I lose the functionality of the Indesign CS3 that I have now?

I believe it will but you must find the right upgrade and finding a CS5.5 upgrade is not going to be easy. Why not just get the CS6 Web and Design Premium package (that eligibility ends soon) or better yet, take advantage of the intro pricing for Creative Cloud. At $29.99/month it’s a bargain: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html

Realistic system requirements for Design Premium on MAC

Hi,
Can anyone give me some realistic system requirements for CS4 Design Premium? I am just about ripping my hair out with having to reboot several times a day because i'm running out of memory on my PC and am thinking about switching to MAC.
I am currently running a PC well above the recommended specs for Design Premium CS4 and it looks as though I will have to upgrade anyway. Designer friends tell me their MACs never require rebooting (but again i guess it depends on the MAC specs).
My questions are:
* If i buy a MAC, what would I need to buy to comfortably run Design Premium CS4 without any crashes?
* reading some of the other discussion threads in this forum it seems some products don't work/aren't supported by MAC? Of the Design Premium products which ones would I have issues with?
* Does anyone know what the deal is with switching the software licensing from Windows to Mac? (I heard you can only switch if you are upgrading which would mean I would have to wait until CS5 is released.)
Advice would be appreciated!!
Cheers,
Karen

Thanks Michael,
I do use a few of the programs at once: Bridge + Photoshop + Illustrator + Indesign (actually, have learnt cannot run all of these at once but would love to!);
Dreamweaver + Fireworks (Fireworks constantly causes me headaches where files become locked and cannot be saved - all due to shortage of memory)
Usually run virus software - full scan weekly, so am pretty sure my system is clean.
Great idea about disabling Virus software - will ensure I unplug from modem first!! I will give that a go.
Cheers,
Karen

CS6 Web and Design Premium install

I have CS6 Design Standard installed and upgraded to CS6 Web and Design Premium version. Do I need to uninstall the Design Standard before installing Web and Design Premium or can I install directly on top of the Design Standard version.
Trying to avoid the 30-40 minutes or longer to uninstall and reinstall the application, etc.
Thanks.

No need to uninstall. The installer will take care of matters. Just make sure to deactivate your previous product. You can also run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool so the new install will work as if nothing ever was on teh system...

Getting an error trying to extract CS6 Web and Design Premium after downloading

Hi, I purchased the CS6 Web and Design Premium back in 2013 and I have installed it on my laptop successfully. I got a new Windows desktop PC this year and I'm trying to install this on here without any success. I have downloaded the two files from the "Download CS6 Products" page on Adobe's website, but when I try to open the .exe file, I come up with an error saying "A problem occurred while extracting some files. Check available space on your computer and write privileges on the destination folder." I have no idea what this means or what I'm doing wrong? I would appreciate any help since I've been trying to get this working for about an hour with no progress at all.

make sure you downloaded both files completely and that they match.
if you're not sure how to do that or you think you have done that, what files (name and extension) and what file sizes did you download?

I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0

I cannot upgrade two Design Premium Suites from 5.5 to 6.0!
I have a Volume Licensing for several Adobe Products and now I want to upgrade two of the Design Premiums to 6.0. I have bought two Retail upgrades (with a little discount) but this not going to work.
The Support help Chat says that I cannot use a Retail Upgrade for a Volume Licensed Design premium.
Why? I haven't found any info about this. So after two hours a chatting with several persons at the Helpdesk I was provided with a phone number.
When I called this Phone Number they said my serial was not connected to my Account. Unbelievable because in my Account there are all the right Numbers.
This man said I had to call another number 08004438158 to solve my Problem. Connect to this Number is Impossible (not reachable)!
What to do? I cannot solve this problem with the Support Chatbox,
I cannot solve this with a support employee on the Phone and another Phone Number is not reachable.
I have paid a lot of Money throughout the years with Adobe Products. We are running 7 Design Premiums, Several Photoshops, several Adobe Servers Applications and two prescriptions of the CC.
And now nobody can help me with this problem????

Thanx Mylenium for your Suggestion .
Today I have done another attempt by Phone. From the Netherlands Customer Service I received a different telephone number for Support. It took a while this Morning and a little patience but at last I received two unlocking Codes. So I didn't need to start an Online Support Case.

Jan

Would you upgrade from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?

I am always weary of upgrading to mid-year releases like this because usually there are more headaches than benefits. Would I be missing out on a lot of functionality by not upgrading from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5? I primarily use Indesign to lay-out interactive digital publications. Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
Cheers!
Steve

If you're working with epubs, definitely upgrade! Here's an article that lists the new features.

Help upgrading to CS6 from Adobe Design Premium CS5

I have Adobe Design Premium CS5. Is there a way to upgrade to CS6 online? Does anything need to be purchased to do this?

Yes, you need to purchase CS6 as an upgrade version (upgrades are not the same thing as updates).

Question about single user licence for design premium cs6

Heya, I just purchased the student version of design premium cs6 and I am wondering what the rules are in the case that my computer hard drive fails.
Would I be able to use it on another computer or do I have to buy a new set of software?
Are there any things I should know about installing like backing up the software files somewhere? If so, I would appreciate if anyone could tell me how to do that.
Also I would like to know if I can use my serial number for a mac version of the software or if I have to buy a whole new set.
Many thanks in advance

You have 2 activations and those can be reset when a computer no longer is accessible, otherwise one simply would use Help-->Deactivate and the like to manage activations. Serial numbers are platform specific, so you cannot use the same license on Mac and Windows.

Install instructions for CS6 upgrade for WIndows missing - in what order should files be run?

After over 14 days of dealing with the idiots at Adobe Support, opening and closing of 2 cases multiple times, promised emails not being sent (and being blamed for having my email set up to filter out Adobe emails), attempts to charge me for the already approved "free" upgrade, and then having an order for a physical disk version of the CS6 upgrade cancelled by some bonehead, I finally was able to download the CS6 upgrade files. Only to discover that there are no installation instructions for Windows if you did not use the Akamai download manager (which I did not).
There are a total of 6 files in the download directory, all downloaded from the CS6 upgrade download page.
- In what order should the files be run? Just run the .exe files, or do some files need to be extracted/unzipped first?
A second question: my CS5.5 version was never installed, and never registered.
- Will the CS6 upgrade accept its serial number directly, or do I have to do something else through Adobe Support?
-- WTW

Which files: all of them on the CS6 Production Premium upgrade download page.
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.7z
ProductionPremium_CS6_LS7.exe
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.7z
PremierePro_6_Content_LS7.exe
Illustrator_16_Content_LS16.exe
Download_and_Install_Instruction_all.pdf
The last one is useless.
The Speech Analyzer Models were downloaded separately, from another page. I assume they should be installed after everything else is installed and working.

CS6 upgrade for photoshop CS5 gives errors

I recently purchased your Photoshop CS6 upgrade. I had been using Photoshop CS5 previously. When I entered my serial number I got a message stating that no qualifying product can be found on my computer. In the product drop down box I found and selected CS5 but when I enter the serial number of my CS5 Master Collection (which Photoshop was part of it) I get a error saying that serial number is not for a qualifying product.
What should I do?

You cannot upgrade a component of a Creative Suite to the next version - which is what it sounds like you're attempting.
e.g. you cannot upgrade to Photoshop CS6 using the Photoshop CS5 from Master Collection CS5.
http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#upgrade-eligibility
"Am I eligible for upgrade pricing from an earlier Creative Suite edition to an individual CS component?
No. Adobe does not offer upgrade pricing for customers wishing to move from a suite edition to an individual CS component. For complete upgrade information for the product you are interested in, consult the upgrade eligibility chart on that product's buying guide page."
From Master Collection CS5, you can only upgrade to a CS6 Suite (does not have to be Master Collection CS6).
If Photoshop CS6 is all you want then either purchase a full version of CS6 or consider joining the Cloud.
