Exchange a version of Photoshop CS5

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a small dilemma I got myself into. I'm currently in college studying graphic design and I went to a retail store to purchase the student edition of Photoshop CS5 to work on my projects and enhance my skills, etc. After I got home and opened up the box and applied for the eligibility from Adobe, I had noticed that I had accidentally purchased the wrong version of Photoshop. I had purchased the MAC version instead of the Windows/PC version.
Now, I'm planning on taking this software back to where I purchased it to try and exchange it for the right version. I had not installed it or done anything to it, besides the eligibility. But I have to know, what can I do to cancel out that first eligibility from Adobe? Better yet, is there any way Adobe can help me exchange the MAC version for the PC version? This is my first time on here and Im very confused.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank You.

If CS5 is still active on your computer, register it from the Help Menu. If I recall, the correct serial number should be recorded under your account under My Products.
Unless an Adobe Staff member drops by, it should be noted we are forum volunteers and have no way or authority to give out serial numbers.

  • Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    I have a custom built Java 6 application that doesn't like Photoshop CS5 64 bit edition.  The program copies over a file from the network to the local machine and then opens it in Photoshop.  The user manipulates the image and saves the changes.  The user then completes the image and the application copies the image back to the server.  The problem we're having is: When we use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, it takes about 2 minutes for Photoshop to open the image.  The file is copied over within 2 seconds and the Photoshop icon on the windows taskbar starts flashing.  But then you spend a few minutes waiting for it to open.
    Some things that I have tried to isolate the problem:
    - I found you can copy the file somewhere else, double click on it and the image will open in Photoshop before the script is able to open the file.
    - I tried uninstalling Photoshop and reinstalling just the 64 bit edition without the 32 bit installation.  The script just stops working in this situation.
    - I tried uninstalling CS5 and installing CS3.  The image opens as soon as the file is copied over.
    What I would like to try next is to install just the CS5 32 bit version.  But the installer is being uncooperative and will only allow either the 64 bit version or both the 64 and 32 bit versions.  So, back to my question: Is there a way to install just the 32 bit version of Photoshop CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine?

    Do you mean schroot?  If so I'm not sure exactly how well that will work out, because the part that depends on python is a deamon that handles communication between the USB dongle and the Tux Droid which may mean hacking the deamon a bit so ether way this does not seem like it will be a easy task.

  • Searching the Help index in the trial version of Photoshop CS5

    I'm working with a trial version of Photoshop CS5.  I noted a post about the failure of PS Help to return any results when doing a local search.  Apparently, there was a bug and a fix, as described here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/739143
    Hi all:  thanks for your messages here.  There was a problem with the local help download package for Using Photoshop. The team has rebuilt the package and confirmed that local search for Photoshop is now working.  Please update your local copy of Using Photoshop to update the help package. Here's what to do:
    1. Open the Help app
    2. Open the Preferences
    3. Go to Local Content
    4. Highlight/select Using Photoshop
    5. Hit the Delete button.
    6. Then click Update
    The application should automatically download and update the new Help package.
    When I get to step 3, Local Content does not produce any result; so I can't implement the fix.  Is the "fully functional" trial version not fully functional?
    I was searching for a way to set the timing for AutoSave, assuming there is an AutoSave.  Any assistance would be much appreciated.  Thanks.
    Doc_Pit

    In the help application when you open the preferences instead of local content,
    click on Updater settings and click on Manually update local content, then
    click manage now.

    Hi David,
    You need to download CS6 Photoshop and enter the serial number for CS6 Photoshop and then you would be prompted to enter the serial number for qualifying product.
    Enter the CS5 serial number in order to install and activate CS5 Photoshop on your machine.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

    "If you have a previous version, you cannot swap to a different platform or language of the previous version. Instead, it's necessary to upgrade."
    What Curt Y said.
    Since CS5 and been superseded by CS6 (and now version CC in the Cloud), your options are
    to crossgrade to CS6 (which is still available to purchase), or
    join the Cloud and get Photoshop CC.

  • Is it possible I have a buggy version of Photoshop CS5?

    I have Photoshop CS5. I've had difficltuy from day one with the simple task of changing  colors in my background or other layers. I can change colors using the background color picker box but I cannot select and apply custom colors using my eyedropper tool. I've been stuck going back and forth between PS and Fireworks to change colors, which is a clunky workflow. 
    After asking questions here and on other boards, none of the instructions offered solve my problem. Do I need to all my PS files and reinstall? Or should I go back to an earlier version?

    I guess PS is the wrong tool for simple graphic design.
    Personally, I would never make that statement. Fireworks and Photoshop both contain tools for pixel-based and vector-based creation and editing. You should do a Google search on  compare Fireworks and Photoshop and you will find many discussions, some heated, on the merits and deficiencies of each. They are both effective and are used by many for web design, though Fireworks was created specifically for that endeavor.
    I think with a little bit of training in the methods of work in Photoshop you will be able to decide how it fits into your design life. So don't give up on it yet. It really is an enormously capable tool and can produce simple or complex graphic designs in addition to manipulating images.

  • Can I still get the student version of Photoshop CS5?

    I was told to get Photoshop for my class, so I got the student version of CS6.  What they didn't tell me is that I needed CS5.  Can I still get it?  Can I download it or does it have to come on a CD?

    No. You can only buy current versions. At best you can download CS5 as a trial here:

    I don't see why that should matter in any way, though. Whatever they are going to teach will use the same methodology and techniques in both programs...

    Is my CS5 serial number supposed to work for CS6?

    No.
    You must pay for CS6 and then you will receive a new CS6 serial number.
    Or join the Creative  Cloud for a monthly fee.

    From what I understand, because CS5.5 and CS6 have both been released since you purchased your software, it may not be possible to perform the "crossgrade" that you are describing.
