Do I uninstall CS5 & CS6 before downloading CC?

I have Master Creative Suite CS5 (disk) installed on my iMAC running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.  Some time ago I subscribed to Creative Cloud and installed CS6.  Major computer problem caused me to have to wipe the hard drive and restore from the backup disk.  My last backup was September last year which was before I installed the Creative Cloud CC apps.  I would like to install the CC apps.  Do I uninstall both the CS5 and CS6 apps first? At this point neither of the CS5 or CS6 apps have been updated.

Hi Stormy_Weather,
It would be best to uninstall CS5 and CS6 before installing Creative Cloud applications as the previous versions are restored from a backup which might cause issues.

Akshay

  • Should I uninstall CS5.5 before I start downloading CC apps?

    I have CS5.5, but just purchased CC.
    I was wondering is it recommended to uninstall CS5.5 before I start with Creative Cloud???
    thanks

    There is neither a recommendation nor is it a technical requirement. In particular ifd you use specific plug-ins or otehr stuff like olde scanners and printers that may not be compatible with CC or for which you don't have the money to upgrade, you might consider keeping CS5.5 around... Otherwise feeel free to remove it.

  • Should I uninstall current CS6 before installing CreativeCloud app?

    Should I uninstall current CS6 before installing CreativeCloud app?
    I have the CS6 Master Suite and have kept it updated, do I need to uninstall that before installing the creative cloud apps?
    cheers,

    Not necessary. CC will recognise existing installs and simply substitute the licensing.

  • 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!

  • Should I uninstall elements 12 before downloading photoshop CC?

    i am getting an error whilst downloading photoshop CC. Should I uninstall photoshop elements first?

    Hi Dm606,
    You don't need to uninstall Photoshop Element 6 before installing
    Photoshop Element12.
    However, it is totally your decission to uninstall PSE6 but it won't give you any
    problem if both version co-exist.
    Hope this helps.
    Please let me know if you have any other question.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd

    When I downloaded CC, I uninstalled CS5 and CS6, now I cannot open my older psd photos, has anyone else had this problem...

    Your info is at best vague. PSD files are compatible across versions on a very broad level, so whatever problem you have may be very specific. You have not provided any relevant technical info about your system or your files, so nobody can say anything specific, though.

  • I uninstalled PS CS6 (non-cloud upgrade) WinXP SP3 then downloaded and reinstall failed during SetUp.exe

    Review: I purchased non-CC upgrade from PS CS5>CS6 today at Adobe.com, downloaded and installed, seemed to work, but had problems after attempting ACR update that led to PS errors, so I uninstalled PS CS6 via control panel>remove>Adobe uninstaller. When I tried to reuse SetUp.exe or re-extract PS CS6 install files; all failed. Contacted support chat they said-download again that will work. That failed, too. Please advise on how to re-install PS CS6 upgrade on same machine where I removed it just hours before. OS: Win XP SP3
    Thanks, Paul

    Kglad,
    Thanks for your helpful reply. I ran the cleaner, checked the log (ok), then ran installer. The installer ran (1 am) and after a brief celebration I looked and PS CS6 was not visible. It did not completely install and no PS CS6 icons were visible--I should have know something was wrong when it did not ask for serial number. I did System Restore, and just ran the CC Cleaner again (targeting PS CS6, since I believe that I need to leave the PS CS5 on the computer for the upgrade to work. Is there anything else that I may need to do to reinstall successfully? I think that the ACR I tried to install caused a problem -- can I target ACR for cleaning / removal further? I have valid serial numbers: loaded PS CS5 from box upgrade yesterday and then bought PS CS6 upgrade also yesterday. Thank you for your good ideas! Paul

  • After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    After installing CS6 can I uninstall CS5?  If so, how do I do it?

    This comes up repeatedly, so you may want to do a forum search.
    In a nutshell:
    If you wanted to remove CS5, you should have done so before installing CS6.  The CS5 uninstaller is very likely to mess with and destroy the CS6 installation.
    Your best bet now is to use the CS6 uninstaller and uninstall CS6 first, then use the CS5 uninstaller to uninstall CS5, then run the Adobe CSClean script (downloadable from the Adobe site), and finally install CS6 again.
    All adobe updaters are FULL installers and do not need a previously installed version to work.  When they don't find a prior version installed, they will simply prompt you for the old serial number as well as the new one.

  • 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.

  • Can't uninstall CS5 or CS6.

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem when I try to uninstall CS5 and CS6 suites on my iMac.
    I installed CS5 suite like six months ago, then, two weeks ago I installed CS6, but before I uninstalled some components from the CS5 suite. Just remains Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
    I installed CS6 and all good, then, I had some problems with Encore CS6 so I found a post that says that I should use the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. I did use it, all good.
    Today I'm having a second problem with links between Encore CS6 and Photoshop CS6, so I tought it could be because of Photoshop CS5 installed in the same Application folder. So I decided to uninstall that application, but, I can't.
    I can't uninstall any Adobe application from my iMac, I click on any 'Uninstall X application' and just appears this error: "The alias "UNINSTALL X ADOBE APPLICATION" can't be opened because the original item can't be found." The uninstaller just dissapeared for both Suites and I need to uninstall them.
    Can you help me community?
    Where can I get the Uninstaller for Adobe applications?
    Thanks.

    Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall.
