Doubts about upgrading from Production Premium CS5 to CS6

— I actually have CS5 Production Premium installed on my iMac
— I recently ordered the upgrade from CS5 to CS5.5 just to have a free path from CS5.5 to CS6 (but I never installed that CS5.5 on my system)
— Now, with the CS6 installer on my hand, I'm ready to update to CS6, directly from CS5.
First question, just to be sure: this updater will REMOVE the previous CS5 version, converting it to CS6?
Second question (since I'm almost sure that the updater will “add” a new version, CS6, maintaining the previous CS5): it's secure to preserve that old CS5 version side by side to the new CS6 on the same computer?
(I ask this, in prevision, because I plan to maintain CS5 and CS6 for some time, just to have a “lifeguard” in the case that I could suffer some stability problem with the recent launched version).
Thanks for your support :-)

Thanks for your quick answer, Manish.
Hmmm, that sentence “…you may face issue while installing hence have a look on that…” sounds a bit disturbing, to be sincere :-/
You mean, maybe, that it would be better and safer to delete CS5 before installing CS6, in order to avoid possible installation problems?
I'm sorry if I seem too afraid, but I would prefer to make a clean and peaceful transition, since I am in the middle of some projects…
Thanks again for your advices :-)

  • Would you upgrade from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?

    I am always weary of upgrading to mid-year releases like this because usually there are more headaches than benefits.  Would I be missing out on a lot of functionality by not upgrading from Design Premium CS5 to CS5.5?   I primarily use Indesign to lay-out interactive digital publications.  Any advice or words of wisdom would be appreciated!
    Cheers!

    If you're working with epubs, definitely upgrade!  Here's an article that lists the new features.

    There are no upgrades for student editions. You simply buy a fresh license at the discounted price.

  • Upgrading from After Effects CS5 to CS6

    I am creating a new post for this since my previous post on Design Premium was "Answered" yeaterday.
    I went ahead and purchased the Creative Suite Design Premium 5.5 Upgrade today which apparently includes a FREE upgrade to CS6 Web & Design Premium Package following its release (i.e. if you pay for the upgrade from 5.0 to 5.5 before May 6th you get a FREE Upgrade to CS6).
    Unfortunately Design Premium Suite of products does not include AE so I have always had to purchase that upgrade separately. Am I correct that there is no such similar upgrade incentive for a single product like After Effects CS5 as is being offered on the Design Premium Suite right now?
    Regarding my After Effects "standalone" copy, from what I can tell, my upgrade cost to CS6 would be the same as if I had never upgraded to CS5 (i.e. the upgrade price to CS 6 from CS3 or CS4 is the same as upgrading from CS5) - about $350, but if I upgraded to AE_CS5.5 then the jump to CS6 would be about $175, but if I upgrade "now" to AECS5.5, it would be $179 + another $175 when AECS6 comes out - is that right? $179 seems like a fair upgrade price from AE_CS5 to AE_CS6, but $350 is pretty steep for just one product - especially since 5.5 was not a full incremental jump?
    Am I missing something? From where I am right now, my only path from AE_CS5 to AE-CS6 is about $350? (i.e. about the same price as being forced into the entire Cloud Subscription the first year?). Also, about the same as what I paid today to get ALL my other CS5 Apps upgraded to CS6 in total.

  • Upgrade Price Speculations Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6?

    Anyone have an idea of the cost to upgrade from Production Premium CS5.5 to CS6?  Right now you can buy the updgrade from CS5 to CS5.5 for $399 + 10% off until the 15th.  If you buy the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade now, you get CS6 for free.  Wonder if buying the CS5 to CS5.5 upgrade with a free copy of CS6 for $360 will be cheaper than the CS5.5 to CS6 upgrade.  If you are still on CS5, seems like a not brainer.  Thoughts?

    Yes, maybe...maybe not? Who knows? Well...besides Adobe. And maybe Dave, but he's not interested in discussing anything today. And this is really more appropriate to the Lounge anyway.
    BUT - I like your question, and I want to try to give you some advice if I can so here goes.
    You're likely to see that the upgrade price for the boxed/download version of Production Premium CS6 isn't much different than what you're seeing now for the intermediate "upgrade now, save later" type offers.
    For me, I'm holding on to see what the final pricing and layout is for Creative Cloud. Probably looking at that costing me a bit more over the short run based on my current Adobe purchasing history, but there's supposed to be quite a bit of extra goodness in there so probably worthwhile.
    If you have a money back guarantee wherever you're purchasing, you can always buy now, don't open it, then return it in a week or so if pricing is announced and it makes a difference.
    If you think you'd have a use for the Creative Cloud, you may want to wait. The preliminary pricing listed by Adobe is $49/month for annual subscribers. Maybe it'll be discounted for 1-year if you already own CS5 or CS5.5 versions of one of the suites. Dunno. Probably more info within the next 7 days.

  • Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 and upgrades

    I already own the Adobe Production Premium CS5.5 which includes Premiere 5.5. Today I bought the upgrade from Premiere 5.5. to Premiere CS6. But this requires to type in the serial of Premiere 5.5.. But I only have the serial for the Production Suite and the installation of Premiere CS6 is not possible. What can I do?

    You have to upgrade like items, a suite is not the same as an individual application.  Your only hope is going to be to talk to Adobe customer support directly to see if they will allow special consideration for your case.  Otherwise you will need to return the purchase and purchase the CS6 version of the same software you are upgrading from (Production Premium) rather than individual applications within the suite.

  • Upgrade options for Production Premium CS5 (Education license)?

    Hello,
    I purchased Production Premium CS5 late last year with an education license because I used my credentials as a college professor. Now that CS5.5 is out, what are my options, if any, for an upgrade to Production Premium CS5.5? I'm purely a casual user and don't plan to make a living with the Adobe software.
    Thanks in advance!
    Nick

    Educational versions can be upgraded to Commercial versions. Usually, it is cheaper to purchase a new education license.

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design Premium??

    Hi there, I work for a small print company and we are in the process of upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5 Design premium, the company has purchased a new Mac (runs Lion 10.7), our old Mac is on 10.4 and it has run CS2 upgrade, and a few years back we installed the CS3 upgrade. We have not installed any of the creative suite onto the new Mac and I am wondering can I just buy the CS5.5 upgrade and use the CS3 upgrade serial number when installing? Will this be enough?
    Or do I need to go back to the initial Creative Suite that the company brought from scratch and enter that serial number?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    Just have the serial number from CS3 handy when you install.
    More good news for you. Starting today if you buy CS5.5 you get a free upgrade to CS6 when it ships.

  • Can't find this info anywhere... Can I upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?

    After using Adobe products for years and years, it's not only my opinion but the opinion of many of my colleagues that CS upgrades are only worth it about every other upgrade. That might be a subjective opinion, but it does lead in to my question: Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5?? I can't find that info anywhere on Adobe's site.
    Thanks!

    Does anyone know if I can upgrade from CS3 to CS5 or CS5.5??
    The Adobe Buying Guide clearly states that the answer for CS3 to CS5.5 is yes.
    Design Premium example (other Creative Suites are the same):
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/buying-guide.displayTab2.html
    You won't be able to buy CS5 from Adobe (not that you'd have any reason to).

  • Confusing list of items installing Production Premium CS5

    I'm installing Production Premium CS5 (upgrade from CS3 using serial number, onto a new machine).
    The list of items to be installed, "all" of which are checked (on) by default, includes the following two items:
    · Photoshop CS5 (64-bit)
    · Photoshop CS5
    When I mouse over each to see a brief description, they're identical. The 64-bit version is larger.
    I would normally just leave "all" selected and proceed with the install. But I'm a bit confused by how this is presented -- and with no explanations about it.
    It is a 64-bit system.
    Do I leave "all" items checked, or do I uncheck the latter instance of Photoshop before proceeding with the installation?
    Thanks.
    Jay

    Well, it seems they both need to be installed. After uninstalling both, I found it won't let me install the 64-bit version without also installing the 32-bit version.
    Now, to "wonder" what the impact is of opening one version versus the other. Why do I have to have two installations of the same program?
    And why in the world would they not have a stitch of documenation anywhere to explain any of this?
    Really disappointing. This is, after all, Adobe, not Joe's Bait & Tackle.

  • Adobe Production Premium CS5 Download

    I'm trying to find Adobe Production Premium CS5 in the download section but it seems that it's all replaced with CS5.5. I bought 5 licenses from a vendor last year, and lost my disks.  Where can I get CS5??

    You better contact Adobe to see whats possible. In the worst case scenario you have to buy an upgrade to CS5.5. What kind of license do you have? Is it retail or AVL...

  • Upgrading from CS3 to CS5

    I purchased Photoshop CS5 upgrade. When I enter the CS3 serial number (Adobe CS 3 Design Standard)  I receive the notice that the serial number is valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found on my computer. Why is the upgrade not able to find my CS3 copy?

    Thank you for your reply, Jeff. I did enter the CS5 serial number, and when prompted entered CS3, as my original, (the updating product) followed by that serial number. It was at that point I received the message that the serial number was valid, but a qualifying product cannot be found on my computer. I have read elsewhere that one cannot upgrade from a suite to an application. Have I made a 'financial error' and purchased the wrong product?  Sue

    You would first be entering the Photoshop CS5 serial number followed by your eligible product.  If the serial number is valid then it should not be also searching for a qualifying product.

  • PC version of OnLocation with Mac version of Production Premium CS5

    I'm asking this question for a friend of mine who just received the Mac version of the Production Premium CS5 bundle. He edits using a Mac, but does his field work on a PC (predominantly using a laptop for P2 offloading). I use all PC, so I don't know how the cross-platforming works, but he was wondering if it's possible to install a Windows version of OnLocation on his laptop, or if one is even available a la carte. I know the license provides for multiple installs of OnLocation in your given platform that are separate/additional to your two given installs of the bundle, but is there even this availability for cross-platform workflows?

    Would it be possible to upgrade my CS5 version to CS6, then perform a cross-platform exchange?
    Yes, you just purchase the CS6 upgrade version for Mac, enter your Mac CS6 Upgrade serial number then enter your Windows CS5 serial number.
    How to Move Adobe CC or CS6 Between Computers, or PC to Mac | ProDesignTools
    "Good news! It’s simpler now with CS6, you can easily change platforms when upgrading as normal – just select the correct operating system when purchasing the upgrade. Then when you install that upgrade software on your new platform, it will ask for the serial number of your previous version from the other platform.  For example, if you currently own Photoshop CS5 on Windows and want to get Photoshop CS6 on Mac, then just buy the CS6 upgrade for Mac OS, and manually enter the serial number for your older Windows version when installing it."
