Does CS5 upgrade require activation?

About 10 days ago, I received CS5 Master Collection Upgrade.
It was then installed successfully in the same folder of CS4 Supreme.
When I opened CS5 Photoshop (and other prorams), Adobe CS Master Collection Trial page popped up and asked me to type in serial number.
It is odd to see that I got to type in serial number again.
I wonder CS5 upgrade needs activation (like what we do for installing Windows 7). hummer

I purchased disks. It came in a box.
During upgrading, I do not recall that there was an option for 30 trial.
It just prompted to type in serial number.
Even though CS4 (or adobe folder) was already on my C-drive, the CS5 Master CollectionUpgrade ignore it.
I was forced to type in s/n. That was what I did.

Does an upgrade require reinstallation of software

I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to something newer, but I don't think I can locate the MS Office software installed on the computer. Does an upgrade require re-installing the software?

What has Office software to do with the question you asked? In your case the best thing to do is erase the drive before installing Snow Leopard. Check all your software to be sure you can upgrade it if necessary. Do not upgrade until you know all your important software will work or can be upgraded to work.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

I got CS2 so I could process my Olympus C-8080 raw files, but my Olympus E-620 raw files require a later version. I am wondering if the CS5 upgrade will work with my CS2.

i am trying to sync an ipad to a power mac g5. i bought and upgraded to osx 10.5 and have tried to download and 10.5.6 or higher, but i keep getting same message: "you cannot install mac os x update on this volume. this volume does not meet requirements for this update". help!

Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update
Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5
To me, in all such updates, goes without saying maybe: backup, repair permissions, repair your drive (Disk Warrior does more reliable and thorough job, and it comes out to pennies if you don't wait until needed). Clone your system so you can restore or use the backup - just in case.
I'd even do a fresh format after your clone is done and do a full OS clean install and update, and then a quick import from Setup Assistant.
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
(free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access
I'm going to assume there is something with the partitions on the drive, partition table most likely, though I know I've seen others with that error message - doesn't really point to cause, rarely does (make sure latest firmware update etc is sometimes included but again, we know that isn't why).

Does EOP for in house accounts require Active Directory Sync?

Is it just me, or is the documentation on Office 365 filled with contradictions and not written in a way that's understandable, even for seasoned IT pros?
In short, does EOP require Active Directory to use non cloud accounts?
I'm having a problem with spam on a NON Active Directory integrated mail server. Nowhere in any online documentation that I found (about 10 hours of googling) says that AD is required to implement EOP.
To the contrary:
See here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj871669(v=exchg.150).aspx
Q. Does the service work with legacy Exchange versions (such as Exchange Server 2010) and non-Exchange environments?
A. Yes, the service is server agnostic and can be used with any SMTP mail transfer agent.
But when I attempt to use EOP with my office 365 accounts, with local email (not exchange online), my mail is bounced because the accounts aren't found. If I create exchange accounts, mail doesn't come to my local server, it stays at exchange online.
Am I missing something?

Hi,
changing the domain type to Relay disables the edge blocking feature where e-mails to invalid users are blocked by EOP. In my eyes this is a very important feature so you should use one of the following ways to have the valid recipients in EOP:

How can I download Adobe CS5 upgrade on a new computer.

I just bought a new computer and am trying to download Adobe CS5 upgrade. When installing it says I do not have a qualifying adobe product. I have a student version of Adobe CS2 premium which the installer also does not recognize the serial number.....pay all this money and can't even use it....

You are allowed on two activated copies. If you already have reached this limit you will need to deactivate one and then try it. If you old computer crashed it is still considered activated. If so you need to call customer service tomorrow and explain and they can reactivate.
Hope this helps get you up and running.

I am not able to change the object after upgrade(SPAU Activity).

HI All,
I am not able to change the object after upgrade(SPAU Activity). Please any one can tell what is the reason with below details.
You are not authorized to make changes
Message no. 37202
Diagnosis
You have no authorization for the authorization object 'S_DEVELOP', which would allow you to change the screen concerned.
There is also a second possibility:
You want to edit a modified SAP screen in a customer system after an upgrate (SAP transport). The screen remains locked for editing until the new SAP version and the customer version have been aligned (Transaction SPAU).
System Response
Authorizations are assigned to users in profiles. Profiles are stored in the user master record.
Procedure
Comsult your system administrator.
Thanks in Advance,
Mahesh Devershetty

Hi,
Does the user who would like to change the screen have the authorisation
for S_DEVELOP in his profile? Please run transaction /NSU53 after the
failed authorisation. You will get an information which authorisation
is missing.
Additional please check if you have open entries in transaction SPAU for
that object.
If you couldn´t solve the issue I need an user to analyse it in your
development system.
That user needs all authorisation for development and has to be
registrated as developer.
The system uses the authorization object S_DEVELOP for Workbench objects
can you please check your user master record whether it contains the
required autorization or not.
Please also ensure that modification adjustment is turned on as per note:

I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first. Am I out of luck?

I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first. Am I out of luck?

You do not need the older version installed in order to install the upgrade version, but you do need the serial number from CS4 to prove that you qualify for using CS5. During the activation process for CS5, after you successfully enter the CS5 serial number you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS4) from a list and to enter its serial number.
If you registered CS4 when you originally installed it then you might be able to find the serial number available in your Adobe account online in the Products section.

How to install Adobe Photoshop CS5 upgrade to Lion 10.7 if I have Adobe Photoshop CS2?

I recently upgraded to a new Macboook Pro and with that upgrade am using Lion version 10.7. On my previous MBP I had Snow Leopard installed. Also had Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS2 installed on that and then later upgraded to CS5 on that machine. Now with Lion I am unable to do that. I aware of the technical hurdle.....Lion does not support Rosetta or PowerPC applications and therefore I cannot load CS2 on there initially and then upgrade to CS5. So does this mean that I am screwed unless I buy a full version of Photoshop and Illustrator CS5 to put on Lion? Or is there a workaround?
I still have the old MBP so I could migrate all the files from the old computer to the new computer. Short of that is there any other workaround? If I gave the serial numbers of CS2 and the CS5 upgrade to a rep at Adobe could they unlock CS5 for me so that I can download it to my new MBP?
On another note does anyone think about backward compatibility anymore? Has Apple totally lost its mind? And will Adobe cash in on this opportunity? Is it too much to ask for a representative from Adobe to get back to you after posting your callback number? Customer service does not exist.....its is unprofitable to actually "serve" customer because a customer is a tool to be exploited as are all resources in a corporation.
This is American corporatism at its finest. You have a software monopoly with Adobe on one hand along with a computer manufacture that is not competent enough to produce a backward compatible operating system. If these companies operated for the consumers benefit they would be out of business.
There is no way I'm paying for a new version of the Adobe software. Surely someone can understand my frustration and that this frustration is be being echoed by hundreds of users. But apparently we are stupid right? We are stupid because we just want to be able to smoothly transfer stuff that we have paid so much for to a new operating system but cannot. And thats because on a whim it all changes.

Shaidipur when you install Photoshop CS 5 it will request your qualifying serial number. Assuming you purchased the proper update simply type in your Photoshop CS2 serial number.
In regards to compatability I believe their is a maximize compatibility option within Photoshop. For further details I would recommend posting your question into the Photoshop forum.

I had to buy a new computer and now can't get my CS3 with CS5 upgrade to work on windows 8.1. What can I do to get them to load and work?

I can load CS3, but it won't let me register it and I can load CS5 upgrade, but when I open CS5 it shows fault and closes. What can I do to get these programs to work on my new computer?

Registration has always been optional, so there is no point in trying. Those pages on the Adobe site are long gone. CS5 crashing is another matter, but without some crash logs and more detailed system information nobody can realyl know. This could be a mundane permissions issue on some files, could be a crash with the hardware acceleration stuff but just the same could be the activation system failing. Impossible to tell based on your limited information.

Do I need to install CS4 full version before installing CS5 upgrade?

New hard drive in iMac. I have a full version of CS4 design premium and an upgrade version of CS5. Do I have to install both? Or can I just install CS5 upgrade and somehow use my CS4 full serial number to validate the CS5?

You have the right idea. You do not have to install CS4. At some point during installation of CS5 you will be required to enter the serial number for CS4 in order to confirm it as a valid upgrade installation

Trying to nstall Photoshop CS2 on a new PC with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Trying to Install Photoshop CS2, which I bought several years ago, on a new computer with Windows 8.1? Adobe uploaded me a version that it says doesn't require activation, but it doesn't work!

Your advice to use the serial number provided by Adobe is right on point.
The only thing special I've done that's not typical is that I have UAC disabled, which does serve to make a system more compatible with older software (and with old geeks like me who prefer to be full-time admins).
When I installed Photoshop CS2, it just went in and worked. I didn't think twice about it.

CS3 to CS5 upgrade

I need to upgrade my CS3 Design Premium to CS5. Adobe no longer directly sells this upgrade so I am forced to use resellers.
Question 1) I have read posts that there IS a difference between a CS3 to CS5 upgrade versus a CS4 to CS5 upgrade. But, I have received conflicting opinions from Adobe via customer service. Is there still a difference between the upgrade packages?
Question 2) Many of the resellers do not specify the difference (if there is one). Is there any way to be assured of which version? Does it say on the box? The difference in price makes this a rather important question.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Adobe-Creative-Suite-v.5.0-Design-Premium-Upgrade-Version-Mac/15 172780
Thankful for any advice.

That deal is for the the CS4 to CS5 upgrade and will not work for you.
Here's a CS3 to CS5: http://t.co/xtxaKI0
Note that you may be able to get a free upgrade to CS5.5 if you hurry: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html
Hope that helps

Question about CS5 Upgrade from CS3

Hi everyone,
I have Adobe CS3 and want to upgrade to CS5. I noticed Staples are selling the CS5 upgrade version for a decent price.
But it doesn't state if it's for CS4 or CS3/CS2. I contacted them, but they said they are both the same.... but I don't know if I can believe them.
Is the upgrade version for CS4 and CS3/CS2 the same thing in retail outlets? (i.e. you can enter in a CS4, CS3, and CS2 serial number for the same disc or is there separate products for each previous version - i.e. CS4 upgrade is different than a CS3 upgrade?)
I noticed when you buy it from the Adobe Store or even other sites like Newegg, they are marked as 'CS4 Upgrade' and 'CS3/CS2 Upgrade'... but on Staples its only 'Upgrade' and they told me it 'probably works for CS3 as well'.
Link to product on Staples site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?CatIds=&webid=885931&affixedcode=WWhttp://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/cat_sku.asp?webid=885938&CatIds=&AffixedCode=WW
Your help is greatly appeciated!
Thanks!
J

The upgrades are different in that they require different serial numbers for the upgrade. I don't believe you can use the CS 4 upgrade if you only have CS3. Call Customer Service to get an official response.
