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

  • Do I need to uninstall CS5 before installing Cloud Versions?

    I'm a new cloud user and haven't downloaded the software yet.  Do I need to uninstall CS5 before downloading the cloud versions?

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

  • 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.

  • 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 I install CS6

    I started to download CS6 apps, thinking they would upgrade my old CS5 apps. This does not seem to be the case since now I have both CS5 and CS6 apps at the same time or did I do something incorrect?I have subscribed to CS5 for over a year now. Just wanted to make sure.

    wondered if I needed my old software on it before upgrading.
    No.
    "Upgrades" are all full versions of the software. They don't depend on prior versions being installed in order to function. Upgrade licensing just means you pay less because you already own a previous qualifying version.
    In the case of Creative Suites (CS5, CS6) "upgrade" only refers to the serial number.
    In the Creative Cloud there are no serial numbers. They're activated via your Adobe ID. The versions available in the Cloud (CS6, CC and CC 2014) are all full versions containing full executable code.

  • I currently have Photoshop  elements 10 on my computer. I recently purchased PS elements/premiere 12.  Can I load 12 over 10 or do I have to uninstall 10 before loading 12?

    I currently have Photoshop  elements 10 on my computer. I recently purchased PS elements/premiere 12.  Can I load 12 over 10 or do I have to uninstall 10 before loading 12?

    Both are separate programs. You can have both 10 and 12 installed at the same time.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS5.5 before installing CS6 apps from Creative Cloud?

    The video suggests you uninstall any Beta versions but says nothing about previous version of the apps.

    Hi. I left CS5 on, installed CS6. There was a problem with the shortcuts but both CS6 and CS5 work. What I just found was that although files (.jpg in this case) opened through Bridge CS6 in Photoshop CS6, Windows Explorer still has CS5 associated with opening the file type. I could change that file type by file type but would guess there's a better way to get all file associations moved from CS5 to CS6. Thanks!

  • Need help uninstalling CS5

    I downloaded a trial version of both Photoshop and InDesign CS5 and don't have room for either on my computer right now, though I might buy them some time in the future. But I need them off of my computer, yet every time I click "uninstall" nothing happens. I successfully uninstalled Photoshop yesterday, but had to system restore so it's back on my computer. How can I get rid of these programmes? I see the Creative Suite Cleaner tool, but it says you have to uninstall the programme first... All help greatly appreciated!

  • 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.

  • Do I need to uninstall CS3 before reinstalling it?

    Resetting the preferences stopped Photoshop from crashing, but now I need the flash plugin. Can I get that w/o reinstalling CS3?
    If not, do I have to uninstall the whole suite before reinstallation?

    yes! you could make the animation in photoshop as a swf.... but i was thinking there was maybe a non related question to photoshop about flash?!? ill guess we have to wait and see what the true question is....
    i think i made this when i was in school actually...this EXACT tutorial:

  • 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.
