Deactivate Photoshop Standard to upgrade to Extended

If you are having trouble getting Photoshop to upgrade from Standard to Extended (my case was going from Design Standard to Design Premium), try to deactivate the Photoshop under the Help button. (If it is grayed out, go to File and New and start a blank file, then Deactivate should be black). Mine specifically said it would deactivate Design Standard, which was what I was after. Once it closed and I launched Photoshop again, it was the Extended version. Oh happy day. I must give credit to David Artz for his post from November for the fix. Thank you David.

Yes, $199 for the regular Photoshop CS6 version, $399 for Extended from CS5 standard.
A full copy, without the upgrade, is $999 for Photoshop Extended.
So the upgrade already gives you a $600 discount.
Just pay like we all did, or sign up for the subscription mode, $9.99 per month for both the latest version of Photoshop  Extended and Lightroom thrown in.  With a subscription, you'll never own the software.  When your monthly payments stop, the software ceases to work.

  • Photoshop did not upgrade to Extended after install?

    I had cs6 creative suite standard and upgrade to Cs6 creative suite design and web premium, and it did not upgrade my Photoshop to the extended version (which is the whole reason i bought it) Heeeelp?

    Deactivate the suite under Help --> Deactivate and let it reactivate. Also you may need to clear out your cache.db for the activation system (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache on Windows). Other users have reported this problem. And of course make sure your system actually supports all Extended features so they are accessible, meaning your graphics hardware and configuration must be up to speed to use 3D and otehr features...

  • CS4- if I buy regular now, can I upgrade to extended?

    Hi! Rookie PS user and aspiring young artist here. My parents are getting my photoshop as a gift but I dont know if I need everything in extended yet. If I buy regular can I upgrade to extended in the future? Thanks for your speedy replies.

    judging by cs3, the answer is no. you won't be able to just "upgrade" cs4 to cs4 extended. it will require a seperate license.
    however wolf is right, you'd be able to go from cs4 standard to cs5 ee when that's released.
    not 100% sure on what chris says yet though. mr. nack said that there's a problem with the pricing and cd3 ee users SHOULD be able to upgrade to cs4 standard with no problems, but we've heard of at least one person here who's had trouble doing that. so either nack was wrong, or the word hadn't filtered down to the front line phone reps yet... time will tell on this one.

  • Mac or standard or upgrade version?

    Hi,
    I am looking at buying Adobe photoshop and premiere elements software, but I'm confused by the term standard or upgrade version.
    I have a mac so should I just buy the mac version?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi, Thanks for the answer. I understand that upgrade usually means changes to already purchased software, and is therfore less expensive.
    However the Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements upgrade is more expensive than the other versions so I thought there may be more features/tools or whatever?
    I'll go for the Mac version.
    Thanks again.

  • Problem with deactivate Photoshop CS Mac OS

    Hello,
    less than a month ago I bought in one of Warsaw's computer stores a perpetual license for the product ESD Photoshop CS6 for Mac OS. After receiving the serial program installed on your computer, but do not login using Adobe ID. When you turn the program immediately proceeded to update Photoshop, but as it turned out not married to upgrade to the latest version that supports Retina MacBook screens. Then I uninstalled the program without first deactivating it. After re-installing and updating (no login again to Adobe ID) situation repeated itself and the second time I decided to uninstall the program (from what I remember, then also do not deactivate Photoshop - unfortunately, I was not aware of the need to do this step). During the third installation I logged Adobe ID and then married to upgrade to the latest version that supports Retina screens. But unfortunately, I received a message about exceeding the limit of activations for my product key. Seller informed me that he turned to Adobe with this information, but by the end I do not know whether he had also request deactivation of the system.
    Unfortunately, I had no knowledge of the need for deactivation. Currently in the Help window box deactivation is not "highlighted", is only grayed out and not active.
    I ask for help and information, and what steps I need to make a program to be fully functional and error limit is exceeded, the display has stopped, and that the deactivation option is available and active.
    Yours sincerely,
    Artur Sochacki

    And you won't confuse the user eternity with solutions that don't apply to them.
    If you are eternity, I'm sorry you haven't received any replies since February, but perhaps I'd better redirect your post to the Boot Camp forum, where people have dealt with booting issues with Boot Camp are better equiped to answer. Let us know, and I can ask a moderator to move your thread.

    I'm trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a new ASUS ASM11BB001O computer equipped with 64-bit Windows 7.  I use a "bundle" approach, first loading Photoshop 6, then upgrading with CS upgrade and then CS3 upgrade.  The installation goes smoothly until I add PS CS, and then it balks at the "accept" Adobe conditions screen.  I have two other (Gateway) computers with Windows 7, 64-bit, on both of which the PS-6, CS-CS3 pathway worked fine.  Any thoughts on how to get this working?  Thanks

    If your goal is to install and activate CS5 there is no need to install anything preceding it.  You will only need to have the serial number from the preceding version that you upgrade from (CS3 I guess).

  • How do I deactivate Photoshop on old laptop?

    I downloaded Photoshop Elements 11 onto my old laptop some months ago but never actually got any further than that and have never used it. I now have a new laptop and I do want to use Photoshop on that but is there some action I need to do on the old laptop first ie deactivate Photoshop? I clicked on the Help button but there was nothing that answered my question. Can I just download the disc onto my new laptop and then start the installation process? Any help appreciated.

    fionap
    Adobe allows you to use the purchased serial number on no more than 2 of your computers but not use the two at the same time.
    If you ever get into a situation where you cannot install that purchased serial number on a 3rd computer AND cannot deactivate one of the copies of either of the other 2 computers, Adobe can assist you in that matter even if this purchase serial number is not from the current version of Premiere Elements.
    In such a case, you can click on the following link and, when it opens, click on the statement "Still Need Help. Contact us." to bring up the Adobe Chat for the corrective action involving topic "Serial number issues or activating my product."

I waited 5 or so minutes but the connection was never made and I could not donwload my product. I exited my browser and then restarted it but I had the same problem.

  • Acrobat standard XI upgrade

    Hello,
    I'm looking for a solution to convert PDF-files to Excel. I downloaded the trial version of Acrobat Pro, but Acrobat standard can do it also I believe.
    Is it possible to install the acrobat standard XI upgrade on our current acrobat reader XI program?
    Thank you

    Hi A Bax,
    Acrobat and Reader are 2 separate softwares and can coexist on the same machine.
    Reader is a free software whereas Acrobat is a paid one.
    You cannot upgrade over Reader. You need to own an existing version of Acrobat to be eligible to purchase an upgrade.
    Acrobat 9 and later is eligible for upgrade to acrobat 11.
