Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6

I have Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6.
May I still use CS5.5 on my laptop?

doctordun is talking about an UPGRADE to CS6.
That's clear from the first post. I'm am too.
The licensing system for CS6 is different than for previous versions, as will be made clear in the forthcoming announcement,
I'll await the changes in CS6 with interest.
I know about the forthcoming change to one-version-back for upgrades but I'm not aware of any EULA changes yet.
"Once I've upgraded, can I use, sell, or transfer the previous versions of the software?
No. Purchasing an upgrade to your product extends your existing license to cover the new version of Adobe software. It does not provide you with two separate licenses for the old version and the new version" [FAQ]
From clause 5 of the EULA
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-20110105_1512.pdf
5. Updates
If the Software is an Update to a prior version of Adobe software (the "Prior Version"), the following apply:
Your use of this Update is conditional upon your retention of the Prior Version. Therefore, if you validly transfer this Update pursuant to Section 4.6, you must transfer the Prior Verision along with it. If you wish to use this Update in addition to the Prior Version, you may only do so on the same Computer on which you have installed and are using the Prior Version...."
If this wording remains unchanged for the CS6 EULA, that tells me that it's OK to have CS5.5 and the CS6 upgrade installed on two computers and use both CS5.5 and CS6 on each computer.
I do so daily with CS4 and CS5.
Given the above from the EULA, it seems that the FAQ should remove the word "use" from the question.

  • I orginally bought Dreamweaver CS5.5, and I later upgraded to CS6.

    I orginally bought Dreamweaver CS5.5, and I later upgraded to CS6 by downloading and entering the product code.  Recently I had to reinstall Windows so I no longer have CS6.  Is there some way of getting it back?  I have the product key.
    Second, this is the fourth time I have entered this message on pages leading up to this one.  Is there any way of just entering the question once?

    Hello,
    did you find this: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html and please note "Important: Download the files from a browser other than Microsoft Internet Explorer."
    What concerns your question about "Second": Provided I understand you in the right way, naturally it is. BUT, when you don't get an answer it means nothing more and nothing less than no one had a solution for you. And please don't forget, here the most are users not Adobe's employees.

  • Design Premium CS5.5 and Media Encoder

    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum but...
    I'm about to pre-order my upgrade to CS5.5 Design Premium but it looks like Media Encoder isn't part of it any more. Can someone confirm whether or not it will be included, as it was in CS5, and CS4 before that?
    I need Media Encoder but if I switch to Web Premium I would lose InDesign:(

  • I have photoshop CS5 extended and wish to upgrade to CS6 Extended.

    The Adobe release says that this should be possible, but I can only find the student teacher editions.  How do I purchase the Photoshop CS6 Extended as a perpetual license?

    Perpatual license of Photoshop and other Adobe creative software is not avialable to purchase now.
    It is still  available to purchase. Just hard to find on the Adobe website.

    Q: Can I still buy a boxed/perpetual version of Photoshop?
    A: Photoshop CS6 is still available for purchase as a perpetual software license, via electronic download from Adobe.com and authorized resellers. The Photoshop team will provide bug fixes and security updates for Photoshop CS6 while it is still available for purchase. New features and all the other Creative Cloud services, however, will not be added to Photoshop CS6.

  • Design Premium CS5.5 upgrade

    I have Design Premium CS5.5 and plan to upgrade to CS6.
    May I still use CS5.5 on my laptop?

    I thought as much, but I can't find it documented anywhere. I actually have three places I would like Design Premium on. I have a Imac, a laptop and my grandson has his Imac.
    I was hoping that by having both CS5.5 and CS6, I might make this happen.

  • Upgrade Design Premium CS5 zu Mastercollection

    Hallo zusammen.
    Folgendes Problem herrscht bei mir vor:
    Ich habe vor etwa drei Monaten mir die Design Premium CS5 Student and Teacher Edition gekauft.
    Soweit funktioniert auch alles gut und das Produkt erfüllt auch das, für das ich es damals vorgesehen hatte.
    Doch nun sind in meinem Studium mehrere Projekte hinzugekommen, wofür eben eine gute Schnittsoftware+Anhang benötigt wird.
    Nun stellt sich mir aber die Frage, da ich es nicht im Education Store finde, ob sich diese Version auch auf die Master Collection upgrade lässt.
    Ich weis, dass dies im Retail-Store machbar ist, aber da ist das Upgrade sehr viel teurer als die Vollversion als Student zu kaufen und für mich nicht erschwinglich.
    Dazu kommen noch die Nutzungsbeschränkungen:
    "Nutzungsbeschränkungen
    Pro  Person darf innerhalb von 12 Monaten nur eine Lizenz für ein beliebiges  Produkt der Adobe Student and Teacher Edition erworben werden. Die  Lizenz darf nur auf dem eigenen Privatrechner verwendet werden. Produkte  der Student and Teacher Edition dürfen nicht weiterverkauft werden."
    btw: Ich bin immer noch Student, also Berechtigungen usw. liegen auch weiterhin vor.
    Ich wäre über eine Antwort, wenn möglich Lösung sehr froh.
    Gruß JaMa

    Nun stellt sich mir aber die Frage, da ich es nicht im Education Store finde, ob sich diese Version auch auf die Master Collection upgrade lässt.
    Nö mit Ö. Edu ist generell nicht upgrade-/sidegradebar, egal wieviele hundert Jahre du nun noch studierst. Du kaufst immer ein Komplettpaket deiner Wahl der gerade aktuellen Version, dafür kriegste ja den doch nicht unerheblichen Rabatt. Klaro, wenn du dann mal auf die normale kommerzielle Version upgradest, ist das alles kein Thema mehr, aber vorerst wirste dann wohl bis nächstes Jahr/Semester warten müssen, damit du wieder kaufen darfst. Ansonsten einfach mal an der Schule rumfragen und rundtauschen oder eben nach alternativen Ausschau halten... vielleicht macht dir ja ein Reselelr einen guten Deal für die komemrzielel Variante, so dass es sich dann rechnet...

  • I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium in 08 and have upgraded to Mac.

    I purchased my Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium in 08 and have upgraded to Mac. It appears I am not able to use my old software as I have the Microsoft addition. What should I do now as I desperately need the program in my current situation?

    Either run Windows on your Mac (Bootcamp, Parallels etc) and run CS3 in Windows on your Mac
    or buy a new full version of CS6 for Mac

  • I have Creative suite 5 design premium. I just want to upgrade InDesign. How do i do it and what will it cost?

    I have Creative suite 5 design premium. I just want to upgrade InDesign. How do i do it and what will it cost?

    There is no upgrade path from a suite to an individual product.
    You can buy InDesign CS6 for $700 or you can subscribe to InDesign CC for $20/month.
    Your CS5 license also is good for one year intro rate of $29.99/month for the entire Creative Cloud package.

  • When/how do i download the CS6 upgrade promised by deal on Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5?

    Hello
    I purchased from Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5 Student Edition. The deal Adobe had promised was a free upgrade to CS6 as soon as it became available to do so, if i bought the package before a stated date, i did so and installed it. My question is how (or when) do i access my free download of CS6 versions of the software contained within Creative Suite Design Premium CS5.5. My pruchase of the product hinged on this promised free upgrade so it is very important to me to find out how/when i can expect the download.
    yours sincerely
    Edward Dillon

    If you purchased CS5.5 within the offer period then you might have already been upgraded to CS6. However, you don't have to worry at all.
    For the best assistance, I recommend our chat support at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6. Our chat representatives can provide a personalized experience to resolve the issue you have described.
    Just let them know the issue, and they will help you out.

  • Adobe Design Premium CS5 Upgrade

    Hello
    I have been asked to Upgrade one of the Products In Adobe Design Premium and would like to know if this can be done without affecting the other products.
    I have been asked to install InDesign CS6 upgrade for this product.
    How will this affect the other Design Premium CS5 Suite products or is it best to upgrade the whole Suite to CS6.
    Thank You for any help.

    I have been asked to install InDesign CS6 upgrade for this product.
    Cannot be done.
    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.
    If all you want is InDesign CS6 then you can either
    Pay full price for standalone InDesign CS6
    Take out a Single App subscription for the Cloud version of InDesign CS6 alone

  • Installing Design Premium CS5.5 Upgrade: What to do with CS5?

    I purchased the Win Design Premium CS5.5 Upgrade, installed it, and all seems fine... Except:
    Now I have both CS5 and CS5.5 installed.
    It was implied I needed to have CS5 installed to install the upgrade to CS5.5, but I sure don't want both.
    Question:
    If I uninstall CS5 - will it break CS5.5 (like one of the upgrades did a few years ago)?
    Should I close my eyes and click Uninstall and hope for the best?
    I've not found any docs or white papers referring to this.
    [update: I did find a couple of selected forum posts referring to using the Cleaner Tool,
    but I'm still a little confused - do I uninstall CS5, then run cleaner? Seems awkward.]
    Thanks in advance for any feedback
    system --->  Win7Pro64

    It was implied by the folks @ Adobe when I ordered my upgrade (DVD). If I uninstalled CS5 first then my extensions would not get migrated and my settings would not get imported (e.g. dreamweaver sites, etc).
    4 gig here, another 8 gig there * many years of upgrades = lots of disk space, and yes, size does matter.
    Were you thinking of offering some revelant advice to my legitimate query, or are you just pumping up those 19,000+ posting stats? My refined question for the community professionals is: 'Can I uninstall CS5 without breaking CS5.5, and if so then what is the best procedure?'

  • Can I reinstall Adobe Design Premium cs5.5 Student and Teacher edition onto another computer?

    Can I reinstall (deactivate on old computer and activate on new computer) Adobe Design Premium cs5.5 Student and Teacher edition onto another computer? If this is possible would I have to prove that I am a student again, send you the documents etc?

    Can I reinstall (deactivate on old computer and activate on new computer) Adobe Design Premium cs5.5 Student and Teacher edition onto another computer?
    Yes.
    If this is possible would I have to prove that I am a student again, send you the documents etc?
    You have a permanent serial number from when you did this the first time and that is all that is required.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • Design Premium CS5 incremental upgrade

    I really don't want CC.  Is it possible to upgrade my CS5 to CS 5.5 only?  I previously have used Design Premium CS5 suite.

    Hi 2000Tele,
    Unfortunately we do not have any option to upgrade to CS5.5. However you may upgrade to CC Team with special offer pricing. Please check your eligibility by clicking on the link provided: https://creative.adobe.com/join/team_offer .
    If you wish to purchase CS5.5 then I would suggest to check with your local Adobe reseller.
