Do I need to uninstall CS4 before installing CS6

Hello
I'm looking at upgrading from CS4 to CS6.  Is it best practice to remove CS4 first?  My concern is all work created in CS4 may have computability issues with CS6 and perhaps keeping CS4 around isn't a bad idea as a safety net...

It is not a requirement to uninstall CS4 when installing CS6.  As far as upograding from CS4 to CS6 goes you should doublecheck if that is possible.  For products that I am aware of there is no longer an upgrade path from CS4 to CS6, only CS5+.

  • 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

    No need to uninstall unless you want to. Major versions can co-exist.

  • Uninstall CSxx before install CS6

    I have installed Master Suite CS4, 5, 5.5.  Can I uninstall them all before installing CS6?  Or do I have to keep them?
    I have a 64bit Vista and I will be updating to Win 7 in the next month.  So I will have to re-install.  During that re-install, same question,  do I have to re-install CS4,5,5.5,and 6 or can I just install CS6.  CS5,5.5 and, 6 are upgrades.
    Thanks for a speedy reply:)

    It's your decision you can have or remove them , CS6 installation doesn't require any previous version to be installed already , all it need is the serial number of the previous version that o if it is purchased as an upgrade.

  • Should I uninstall CS3 before installing CS6? [was:Ton Limburg]

    Do I have to uninstall all CS3 applications and extras, before installing CS6?

    Of course I'll keep all my in CS3 made files for further use, and I'll upgrade them if needed.
    I asked for retaining or removing applications... before installing newer versions, no upgrades.
    But don't mention anymore, I deleted them.

  • Already have Support Software v5.0 installed, do I need to uninstall it before installing SS v5.1? Please help!

    as title.

    thanks for reply.
    anyway, I uninstall the older version before installing the new. for those who having trouble uninstalling Windows software try Fix it software from microsoft (thank rtheb's post).
    one thing I didn't mention is that I did a fresh win8 install using boot camp assistant, but at that time the latest boot camp support services available was v4.0 which is not supposed to support win8.
    later, when boot camp support services v5.0 final was released, I installed it on top of v4.0 (i.e. without uninstalling v4.0). I couldn't remember if I got a error message for that, but the computer seemed running ok except that I got a error message when uninstalling boot camp support services v5.0 this time.

  • Uninstall CS5 before installing CS6 on Mac?

    I have a 3 year old Macbook Pro with OS 10.6.8. I have about 30 G of space on my Sys application drive. Do I need to uninstall my CS5 master collection before installing my CS6 Master collection. How do I do that?

    No it is not required.  You can remove the applications though by running the uninstallers from Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.

  • Should I uninstall CS3 before installing CS6 (not an upgrade)?

    I have unsuccessfully installed CS6 onto a machine that already has CS3. I have gone through the whole CS6 installation and just can't find the new app anywhere - and CS3 is still there.

    It should not be necessary. Except for Acrobat all the apps are independent. What OS are you running? Any error messages?

  • Do I need to uninstall FCP before installing FCP Studio 2?

    Hi all, I have Final Cut Pro Studio, FCP 5.1.4, Academic version, and recently got Final Cut Studio 2, and just wanted to check to see if I needed to completely reinstall FCP, or would just installing FCP Studio 2, do the trick?
    Thanks

    I'm still trying to figure out my plan of attack for installing FCS2 when it arrives today.
    Randy, do you at least delete the apps before installation, or do you just put the DVDs in and go?
    Most folks around here preach the complete reinstall of the OS and then installing FCS2...you don't agree?
    Just trying to get all opinions here...you are cleared of any blame when/if something goes wrong!

  • I am running CS4 and want to run the trial version of CC to see if I want to begin a contract with Adobe.  Do I have to uninstall CS4 before installing CC?

    I have a lot of CS4 files on my system and don't want to loose them if I upgrade to CC trail version.  I am NOT a heavy user but use it consistently through out the year to do promotion for my small business.  If I decide NOT to continue with CC can I get bact to CS4?

    Hi J-marshall,
    You can have 2 versions installed aside of each other. Bot programs have their own folders. The files from CS4 can be read by the CC version. The other way around does not work for most file types. For example InDesign. To save for an older version is documented for most programs.
    After CC trial / subscription removal the CS4 will stay on the system and works without issue.

  • I currently have LR5 and PS Elements on my Mac. Do I need to uninstall LR before installing CC?

    Do I leave the current version of Lightroom on my computer and just register it with Lightroom mobile?

    Thanks for confirming that. One problem I have is that Lightroom has made Photoshop Elements the default external editor. I have Portrait Pro as the second editor, so I can't integrate Lightroom with Photoshop. I've read elsewhere that if I uninstall Photoshop Elements, Lightroom should pick up Photoshop as the external editor.

  • Should I uninstall CS4 before installing Creative Cloud CS6?

    Please help!

    Hi unclear teacher,
    Yes, your existing Creative Suite product installation will not be affected by installing the CC product applications.

  • Is it necessary to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4?

    I currently have CS3 Premium (Student Licsense) on my MacBook. I bought CS4 Premium (also a Student License) from my college and am planning on installing that so that I will be up to date with what is in our graphic design computer lab. But I wasn't sure if I needed to uninstall CS3 before installing CS4. My school doesn't sell the upgrade so I had to buy the actual CS4. I'm pretty sure my laptop doesn't have room for both, but I just wanted to get some feedback on all of this so that I can make sure I'm doing everything correctly.
    I was also wondering if my CS3 files that are currently saved on my MacBook will be effected in any way when I uninstall CS3 and install CS4?

    No need to uninstall.
    In fact its wise to keep the older version until you are familiar with the new version. I have almost all versions of Photoshop going back to 2.5.1 as well as the 4 creative Suites happily installed and working together on my G5.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) before installing my new CS6 (Education) Design Standard

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 (non-Education) Design Standard before I install CS6 ( Education) Design Standard Software? How do I do this, is there an uninstall mechanism available?

    Hi bmcgon1,
    It doesnt matter if you uninstall  the older version or not.CS6 installer would be a new install and it would not overwrite or uninstall the older CS4 version software. if you dont intend to use the older version CS4 software you can unisntall using the Creative Suite Cleaner tool.
