From CS2 32-bit to CS5.5 64-bit

I have CS2 Design Standard installed on my old WinXP 32-bit.
Now I've got a new PC with Win7 64-bit and I want to buy the upgrade to CS5.5.
So my questions are:
1. Can I upgrade a 32-bit suite (CS2) to a 64-bit suite (CS5.5)?
2. If so, do I need to first install my old CS2 on the new PC and then run the CS5.5 upgrade?

You don't have to keep CS2 installed on your computer, you will use the serial number to install CS5.5.
You can upgrade to CS5.5 (still), soon you won't be able to, so do it quick:
New Adobe upgrades policy
Go to Adobe store and get an upgrade, price below:
There is no 64-bit or 32-bit suite, some of adobe applications run in both (Photoshop comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit), some are 64-bit only (Premiere Pro), so you just purchase Creative Suite and when you install it, you can install both versions of Photoshop (if you run 64-bit OS).
I hope this helps.

  • Upgrading from CS2 'Premium' to Photoshop CS5

    I have CS2 Premium and find that I have no use for much of the suite's products, though I use Photoshop quite a bit. I would like to upgrade to the new Photoshop CS5 and was wondering if I can do this from CS2 Premium? All I see in the "upgrade from" choices are Photoshop CS4 Extended, Photoshop CS3 Extended, or Photoshop CS4, CS3, and CS2.
    So I don't know what to choose if I can even choose any of these upgrade paths.
    Anyone know?

    You cannot upgrade individual suite components.

  • Upgrading from CS2 Suite (Win) to CS5 Suite (Mac)

    Over the last few days I have twice called Adobe UK sales and have been assured that I can easily upgrade my Windows CS2 suite to a Mac CS5 suite.
    I was told that all I have to do is enter the CS2 Windows serial number during the CS5 Mac installation and it will be accepted.
    However I have found no mention of this anywhere on the internet.
    Has anyone been given the same or conflicting advise by Adobe for this type of scenario?

    Adobe are even contracdicting themselves re CS5 upgrades.
    I was told by the UK sales team that I wouldn't need to submit a letter of software destruction upgrading from CS2 Windows to CS5 Mac.
    However, the Adobe on-line representative said I would.
    I can understand this requiurement for a straight platform swap of the same version.
    However, if I am upgrading, I surely need a valid suite to upgrade from?
    If I destroy my CS2 I will no longer have a valid suite any longer!
    I have also found out that PhotoShop Mac CS5 will apparently no longer have the ability to print printer profiling targets with colour management disabled. Supposedly Adobe labs are developing a separate utility for printing profiling targets but with no ETA. This means that I will have to continue to use an earlier version of PhotoShop anyway!
    With these uncertainties, contradictions and complications I have now cancelled my order.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Want actions from CS2 action palette in CS5

    Hello, I had Photoshop CS2 on my old laptop and created some actions for improving photographs.  That computer died but I managed to save the hard drive.  On my new laptop I have Photoshop CS5 and I'm desperate to be able to use my old actions.  I have the action palette.psp file from my CS2 files - is there a way I can 'put that into' my CS5 folders so I can access the actions?  Grateful for any help!

    What you could try is to go to the preferences folder...
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82893.html
    Rename the actions file, and put the cs2 file in its place, start Photoshop then save the action sets out. Close Photoshop. Remove the CS2 file and rename the actions file back again, start Photoshop and load the actions sets you have just saved.
    I don't have CS5 on a Mac but it looks as if the documentation could be wrong as it shows "Actions panel.psp" for the actions file?
    Should this be "Action Palette.psp"
    Edit: - yes the documentation is incorrect.

  • Lightroom Linked to Photoshop CS5 32 Bit not 64 Bit

    Hello.
    On my computer I have Lightroom 3.6 64-bit, Photoshop CS5 32-bit and 64-bit. When I'm in LR and click to edit in Photoshop, LR brings up the 32-bit version rather than the 64-bit version. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Chris,
    As a workaround, you could bring up Photoshop 64-bit manually and leave it running. I think that when you do an Edit in Photoshop, LR will send the file to that one.

  • Clicking on nef in bridge opens CS5 32 bit

    I have Win7 64 bit and CS5 64 bit. When I double click a nef in bridge, it starts the 32 bit version of CS5. Why would it not start the 64 bit version?

    Because Bridge is strictly 32 bit and Adobe simply hasn't put the effort in to build a 64 bit version of it.
    It's a shame, too, because the 64 bit version of Camera Raw uses multithreading, where the 32 bit version does not, so depending on the computer the 64 bit version can be much faster.
    You could drag the files to a desktop icon set up to start the 64 bit Photoshop.  Caveat:  I know this works with Explorer, I don't use Bridge so I'm not sure whether it's possible with Bridge.  The icon's shortcut should point to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe".

  • Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

    If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
    I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
    Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
    Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
    I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
    These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
    12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
    The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
    I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
    Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
    Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
    I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
    Any other ideas?

  • Change from 32 bit to 64 bit in cs5 as default

    when opening an image into photoshop cs5 from bridge, how do I set the default from 32 bit to 64 bit

    If you want all images of a certain extension, like jpeg, opened in CS5 32 bit as default you have to change that in preferences/file type associations.  You will have to browse to the CS5 32 bit exe file.

  • From CS2 to CS4 and from 32-bit to 64-bit

    This might make some of you laugh but i upgraded from Ps CS2 full version which is 32-bit to CS4 and i want to install my upgrade CS4 on a new Vista 64-bit system. Will this enable my upgrade to run as 64-bit? Or do i have to buy the full version of CS4 in order to have it run as 64-bit?

    Personally,I don't think is a strange question, mainly because I will be in the same position soon. If I understand correctly, you are concerned that you wont be able to install CS4 64bit if you have to install CS2 first. Is that correct?
    If so, I'm in the same boat. I assume that it will be possible as it is possible to run CS2 in 64bit mode.

  • Photoshop CS5 32 bit misrecognizes a command received from another program...

    I use a free mouse gesture program called StrokeIt. It allows mouse gestures to be made for other programs. It uses mouse gestures and a few mouse click actions to activate custom commands.
    But there is a bug in which Photoshop CS5 32 bit won't receive a command properly from StrokeIt. A StrokeIt command sent to Photoshop CS5 32 bit with the wheel_down mouse gesture is misrecognized by Photoshop CS5 32 bit as the same command used by the wheel_up gesture. The developer of StrokeIt has done a lot of testing on this problem and has concluded that this is a recognition bug in Photoshop CS5 32 bit under 64 bit Windows [but no problem with 64 bit Photoshop]. Can this be fixed?
    BTW: I'm currently using: Win7 x64 | Photoshop CS5 32 bit | StrokeIt Home 0.9.7
    ALSO: To perform the wheel_down / wheel_up commands in StrokeIt, you hold down the right mouse button and scroll the wheel down/up. This will run whatever commands you have customized to that gesture.

    here is the detailed dicussion with the strokeit developer on this problem at the strokeit forums.  the developer's name is jeff and the discussion on this problem began on nov 15 on page 2...
    http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/forum/read.php?3,54070,page=2
    this problem affects *some* 32 bit programs on 64 bit windows, and photoshop cs5 32 bit happens on be one of them.

  • Windows 7 64-bit and CS5

    I wrote a script a few years ago that lays out photos on multiple pages in a specialized grid pattern for a classifieds magazine. The script will run normally for about half of the first page and then ID CS5 quits.
    I translated a few of the features from CS2 into CS5 when we upgraded and the script functions completely normally on OSX 10.6.4 but when I run it in Windows 7 64-bit it fails. I've replicated the behavior on multiple machines.
    When I look at Windows Task Manager and watch the memory usage while the script is running everything seems normal until it reaches about 100MB of used memory, then script execution pauses and the memory usage spikes to over 1GB and ID CS5 quits.
    I've tried
    1) Running ID CS5 with Administrator Priveleges
    2) Running ID CS5 in Compatibility Mode for Windows XP SP3
    3) Running ID CS5 in a Windows XP SP3 Virtual Machine
    Has anyone else experienced this issue with long running or memory intensive scripts?

    That's because you started the 32bit version of Photoshop. On 64bit operating systems both a 32 and a 64bit version is installed by default so if you want to use all your ram then make sure that you run the one from the Program Files and not from Program Files (x86)

  • Adobe Jensen Pro from CS2 to CS5

    In Indesign CS2 one of the fonts was Adobe Jensen Pro, which I liked. Now in CS5 it seems not to be one of the Adobe fonts provided by the software. Can one transfer the font Adobe Jensen Pro from CS2 (running in a Windows machine) to CS5 (running on a Mac)? And if so, how?
    Many thanks for any help

    Many thanks for all the answers.
    When I first saw Peter Spier's answer, I thought that everything would be easy (I only needed to learn how to copy and install the font, which I still don't know how to do...). But it seems that there are licensing issues here, and I don't want to do anything ilegal!
    Let's see if I can add a bit more information. First, I have paid for the licenses for both versions, they are legally mine. I upgraded form CS2 (Windows XP version) to CS5 (Mac version). And I am running Windows XP (where Indesign CS2 is loaded) on the same  iMac that has Indesign CS5 on (I use Boot Camp to do that). Because it is BootCamp, I can only use one of the Indesign versions at a time. So the two licensed versions of Indesign are in the same computer, albeit under different operating systems. How does that affect the license issues?
    Many thanks again

  • How do i install cs5 upgrade version from cs2?

    hi
    unsure whether this new win8 machine is 32 bit or 64 bit
    not sure if my upgrade from cs2 to cs5 purchase is 32 bit or 64 bit

    Thank you John,
    Very helpful.  Unfortunately, when it came to the point that the install asked for the earlier version, it said it was not a valid upgrade version.  In seeking an answer to this problem i went onto Adobe chat and was informed that
    Laishram: I have checked and see that the serial number for the CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5 product.
    Chris: hmmmm. everything i read is that the upgrade version was for cs2. i just purchased it because the computer i had died and i bought a new one. i knew that my upgrade to CS5 version wouldn't work without an earlier version so I bought CS2 on ebay just two weeks ago. what can i do?
    Laishram: I am sorry CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5.
    I couldn't get more info from Laishram as to WHY is wasn't a "valid upgrade path" and I don't know what "not a valid upgrade path" means but, i'm guessing that i did something wrong when purchasing CS2.  I was told that i could use the upgrade version(of CS5) that i purchased (to upgrade FROM CS2 to CS5)  to upgrade to CS 6.  So I'll have to do that I reckon.

  • CS5 64 bit does not support TWAIN

    I am running Win 7 64 bit and just upgraded from CS2 to CS5.  CS5 cannot see my scanner (Canon 8400F) even though Canon has a 64 bit driver that I installed.  After downloading and installing the TWAIN plugin I spent several hours trying to figure out why CS5 still could not see my scanner.  Finally I saw where Adobe says it does not support TWAIN in 64 bit because it is an "outdated technology" and that "most manufacturers" do not provide 64 bit drivers for their TWAIN scanners. CANON DOES.
    There does not seem to be any reason why Adobe does not support 64 bit TWAIN except that TWAIN is "outdated."  It still works fine for me (with my CS2), why not with CS5.  It does not seem that I (or we) should have to buy a new scanner just because I (or we) upgraded to CS5.
    Are you listening Adobe????

    I have found a somewhat "second rate" solution to this problem.  If I run CS5 in 32 bit mode my scanner is there.  Now if I could do ythe same thing in 64 bit mode all would be well.

  • Quick Question on 64-Bit PS CS5 & 3rd Party Filters

    I assume that if one installs the 64-bit version of PS CS5 (or above), that all older 3rd party Filters/Effects will have to either be upgraded (if possible), or replaced by a newer one. Is that correct?
    In Premiere Pro CS5, that is the case with all Effects, and CODEC's, but I am about to install PS CS5 on a new computer, and just want to verify my suspicions.
    As I have a ton of older Filters, and many are now long gone from the market, if that is the case, I might then install both the 32-bit and 64-bit, or keep my older PS CS2 handy, just for those.
    TIA,
    Hunt

    If you want to use a plug-in in the 64 bit Photoshop, then yes - a plug-in has to be compiled for 64 bit operation.  There is absolutely NO WAY to use a 32 bit plug-in with 64 bit Photoshop and vice versa.
    Photoshop normally installs both a 32 and 64 bit version on a 64 bit machine, and older plug-ins are generally compatible with the 32 bit version.  I have some old ones I still use, and they're probably never going to become available on 64 bits.
    I suggest that unless you have a DIRE shortage of disk space, you install both 32 and 64 bit Photoshop.  There are some intangible reasons...  Sometimes bugs in OpenGL drivers show up in one and not the other.  In other cases sometimes you might want a slightly different configuration for one than the other (e.g., for testing).  For a long time, for example, I kept my 32 bit Photoshop CS5 with OpenGL disabled, so I could easily test things both with and without OpenGL.
    Again, if you don't lack disk space I recommend keeping the old Photoshop (CS2) around as well.  Sometimes you remember that something used to work a certain way, and you want to go back and check...
