Do I have to upgrade to Creative Cloud?

Do I have to upgrade to Creative Cloud? I have a CS6 Master Suite Collection that wasn't exactly cheap, but now I can't use it because my "trial" has expired. I tried following instructions from another forum that recommended updating the software before the trial expired, but it clearly didn't help. How do I use my software??

Could you please review the directions that I'm using? Here is what I'm trying to do:
Choose Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options, and then click the View tab.
In the Advanced Settings section, deselect Use Sharing wizard (Recommended) and click OK. (I got through this)
Navigate to the parent folder.
Right-click the next folder, and then choose Properties.
Let's assume C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe is the "parent" folder. Step 4 does not make sense because I have only accessed C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers for this walkthrough. The step, "Right-click the next folder, and then choose Properties," does not indicate which folder is the "next" folder in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe. So, I understand C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe is the parent folder, but which folder is the "next" folder?
I would really appreciate it if you could take your time to thoroughly explain rather than giving a brief, one sentence answer so we can get through this!

  • Have Adobe Standard CS 5 (Student), and would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud (Non-Student) - won't accept my serial number for special pricing for existing users

    I currently use Adobe Standard CS 5. It was bought with the Education discount. I would like to upgrade to Creative Cloud and see that they have special pricing for existing customers that use past versions of Creative Suite. I am no longer in Education, so I will have to buy a full version. This is fine, but it won't accept my serial number for the discounted pricing. Is there something else I should be doing?

  • I am still in the stone age and using CS4.  Looking to upgrade to creative cloud.  Will I have any issues and what can I do to keep the files I have created in CS4 active with the new software?

    I want to continue to use my CS4 created projects while upgrading the Creative Cloud.  I have an Imac, Ipad, Iphone 6 and Macbook Pro.  Am I going to lose or not be able to bring those .ai files from CS4 into the new software?@

  • Need to Prevent Adobe Application Manager for upgrading to Creative Cloud

    I have successfully packaged Dreamweaver CS5&CS5.5 via Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition v2.1 and after a successfully deployed via SCCM Dreamweaver runs perfect. Unfortunatly upon the first launch of the icon on the desktop of "Adobe Application Manager" it's self upgrading to Creative Cloud.  This is a problem.  In this enterprise deployment I have updates set to manual and my AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat is set to the below which should be preventing this to my understanding <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Preferences> <Suppressed>1</Suppressed> </Preferences>

    Thank you for getting back to me, currently my work around
    is to have the deployment delete the two “Adobe Application Manager.lnk”
    icons from both the desktop and the start menu for each OS version.  Not
    exactly how I would like to have to do it however my
    “AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat” does not seem to block Adobe Application
    Manager from updating.

  • If I upgrade to Creative cloud, then later cancel, will my current licences still work?

    I have licences for Illustrator and Flash now.   If I upgrade to Creative Cloud, and then at some point in the future cancel my subscription, will I still be able to use the Illustrator and Flash that I have now?
    I don't mind reinstalling them, but I woulnd't want to switch to Creative Cloud and then find that I was then committed to monthly subscriptions forever, even just to be able to use what I have now.

    Yes, you maintain all licences for individual products you own outside of Creative Cloud. So if you were to cancel your Creative Cloud membership, you'd be able to reactivate Flash and Illustrator with your license information associated with the invidiaul products.

  • Existing subscription automatically upgrade to Creative Cloud?

    I have an existing Premiere CS5.5 subscription. I called Adobe on Thursday the 10th of May to ask about moing to Creative Cloud.
    I was told (after being put on hold for 20 mins while he went and found out) that my subscription would automatically upgrade to Creative Cloud on Friday the 11th and I would get an email about it on Friday.
    I have heard nothing, my account still shows the 5.5 sub, I dodn't even have the option to update the single product (Premiere) to CS6 as I should under the terms of the old type subscription.
    Has anybody else had similar experience or managed to resolve it?

    Hi DKD2000,
    Since you no longer want the older software you can just uninstall them. The Creative Cloud Membership works through the website https://creative.adobe.com and licensing is done using your Adobe ID (same one you use to sign in to the forums here). If you go that webpage I gave, sign in with your Adobe ID and then click over to the Apps section, clicking any of the Download links should bring up a program called the Adobe Application Manager. This will help you automatically download and install your CS6 apps.
    These might be helpful for you getting started:

  • When I open CS6 it will no longer open - it prompts me to upgrade to Creative Cloud - WHY?

    I do not want to upgrade to Creative Cloud - I have CS6 and and happy to NOT have a monthly charge. Now I can't open CS6 because it will only open if I upgrade

    Whoa that sounds crazy, interesting. Sounds like the licensing just got crossed up or something.
    Have a look at these links and see if maybe you think it might help:
    Creative Cloud applications unexpectedly revert to trial mode | CS6, CCM
    https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/64-bit-creative-suite-applications-repeatedly.ht ml
    Otherwise maybe Jacob will have some troubleshooting suggestions, gasp unless an actual Adobe person shows up and has some insight?
    Kidding:
    Maybe we are at the faithful point in the time and space continuum where all previous Adobe versions are set to go dead and a mass forced cloud or nothing is upon us from the Cash Cow empire? Just kidding (?) Fun times ahead regardless that can be assured.

  • Does upgrading to creative cloud invalidate my perpetual cs5/cs6 license?

    We currently have 5 iMacs and 1 PC using CS5 / CS6 on a perpetual license however we are looking in to upgrading all users to creative cloud, would this invalidate the perpetual license's we currently have or will they be unaffected?

    Hi Matt,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Upgrading to Creative cloud will not affect the perpetual license products.
    You are entitled to discount since you are an existing CS customer.
    Please check out the below link for discounts.

  • Save 50% when you upgrade your Creative Cloud web hosting, don't work for me

    I got this e-mail: Save 50% when you upgrade your Creative Cloud web hosting.
    I would like to upgrade my homepages, but I cannot come through with my  login,  when I use this login to redeem: http://businesscatalyst.com/promo/creative-cloud
    But when I am on my own admin pages, and use the same login as I used above I can come through. What is wrong??
    It is something wrong with this link: https://ava.worldsecuresystems.com/Admin/Index.aspx?OURL=businesscatalyst.com&to=
    Please help me, as I want Creative Cloud site to the next level as soon as possible.

    Hello,
    I believe this question was already answered via ticket #57102 - please see my response to that ticket for further details regarding the needed steps.
    What I was trying to explain in my previous reply is that you can upgrade any Creative Cloud site directly through each site's admin area, not necessarily through the link mentioned on the promo page...
    If you still have login issues with your Adobe ID (the updated email address) please access adobe.com -> Sign in -> Trouble signing in? to reset your password.
    Please try that and let us know if that worked.
    Kind regards,

  • Do I lose perpetual license if I upgrade to creative cloud?

    If I upgrade to creative cloud do I lose my license to my copy of CS5.5? So a year later when my membership expires and I decide that it is not for me, I have lost everything? Thanking you.

    Hi Mlhuntr,
    You continue to own and could still use the prior version if you canceled your membership.

  • Upgrading to Creative Cloud. What happens to my CS4 License?

    Say I have CS4 installed on Computer A. Then I upgrade to Creative Cloud. I install Creative Cloud on Computer B and Computer C. If I am using Creative Cloud on Computer B or C, will I still be able to use CS4 on Computer A?

    will I still be able to use CS4 on Computer A?
    Yes.  Your perpetual license won't expire.
    You may keep using CS4 alone or along side Creative Cloud if you wish. 
    You may install CC or CS4 on up to two machines at one time.   The main difference is that CS4 can be installed on only one platform depending on which was purchased (either Mac or Windows).  However, CC can be installed on both platforms.
