Going back to CS6 instead of Creative Cloud. Can I upgrade from CS5?

Hi, I upgraded from CS5 to CC about a year ago, thinking my studio at work was doing the same.
Studio is using CS6 and I am finding Creative Cloud very expensive, so I'd like to revert back to CS6.
Do I have to buy this from scratch? Or can I upgrade to it from my CS5 which is still installed?
I'm finding the whole thing very confusing!

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum...

    Hi I am just now downloading Creative Clouds :-) as an upgrade from an old Creative Suite 5.5. Before that I hade a Creative suite 3 etc. Is it necessary that I keep all these old programs etc on my computer to make Creative Clouds work or is it better that I uninstall them? Kind regards, AnnaReet

    It is not necessary to retain the older installations.  YOu might want to consider if you will have any need for them in terms of working with older files, but other than that you can probably uninstall them without missing them.

  • Can one upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 as a Retail Product or does one need to do it as a Volume License?

    Can one upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 as a Retail Product or does one need to do it as a Volume License?

    Well, depends on what your CS5.5 actually is. If it came as a volume license, the upgrade terms would be determined by the specifics of the volume licensing model chosen... Anyway, that's way too specific. Contact sales support by phone or web chat to haggle things out.

    Of this I'm positive: There will be no upgrades for InDesign CS6 (except if there were a security issue). Adobe never adds updates to an earlier version. The current version is InDesign CC. InDesign CS6 will always be as it is now.
    What you may have read is that Adobe says it will keep selling InDesign CS6 for the forseeable future.

  • Can i still upgrade photoshop cs5 to photoshop cs6 instead of creative cloud

    can i still upgrade photoshop cs5 to photoshop cs6 instead of creative cloud

    Yes. Go here, Creative Suite 6, and select the Buy option next to Photoshop CS6 then change the option for "I want to buy" from Full to Upgrade. It's $199 for the non-Extended version and $399 for Extended upgrades from CS5.

  • Can you upgrade from CS5 Production Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

    I have the student edition of CS5 Production Premium suite and Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows and I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to the CS6 Master Collection. If there is, how much would it cost? I would like to get InDesign and Dreamweaver. Or would it be easier to try to buy the two programs separate?

    I saw that before, but I wasn't sure if it was an upgrade from the CS5 Master Collection or just anything CS5. Shouldn't the upgrade price vary depending on what collection of programs you have? Like shouldn't upgrading from the CS5 Master Collection be cheaper than upgrading from CS5 Production Premium? Will it change if I try to order it?

  • Can i upgrade from CS5.5 design and web premiun to CS6 and still keep CS5.5 Dreamweaver

    Yes, you can upgrade S&T editions by buying a commercial upgrade. Just make sure to pick the correct previous version during check-out or you'll get a serial number snafu...

  • Can I upgrade from cs5.5 to cs6?

    I don't want to shift to a subscription model. I have CS5.5 for PC. Can I upgrade to CS6 (options have disappeared on the website) ?

    No more available?
    They get harder and harder at adobe.
    Maybe there are not many sheeps enough to subscribe to their jail-cloud.
    You can try to sell a boxed version at a reseller.
    And No - you can buy an upgrade via web... For example:
    https://www.adobe.com/de/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_ sl_creativesuite6.html?start=10
    Choose Upgrade in the right Popup - This side is german . Maybe you have to choose your region

  • Not able to open Canon 6D raw file in PS CS5! Can i Upgrade from CS5 to CS6?

    I recently purchased the Canon 6D. I'm running Photoshop CS5 on my windows computer. I want to work in Camera Raw but I need version CS6 in order to do so. I'm having great difficulty getting a link to purchase the upgrade. I need help, please.

    I just want to point that out for ACR is the reason I signed up for the cloud.  Which actually lowered my cost of Photoshop.  I had always upgraded to Photoshop standard to get ACR. So Photoshop cost me the initial cost of Photoshop standard $700 and around $100 a year for upgrading.   Now Photoshop cost $120 a year but it for the extended version of Photoshop and I could also Lightroom if I wanted.
    Some day maybe I will need Lightroom.   Adobe keep changing Photoshop removing features like Web Galleries and Picture Package, Add things to the Adobe Bridge like poorer Web Galleries and the export panel where panel convert image files to jpeg without opening Photoshop. Add features like Oil Painter to Photoshop then removes Oil painter  make Bridge output module an optional download removes the export panel from the Bridge and put an export feature in Ligthroom.  
    ACR is well integrated into Bridge  as a plug-in and in Photoshop as a plugin and filter.  Bridge also works well with other Adobe Applications according to some thing I have read.  Lightroom on the other hand is not well intergrated with Adone Applications like Photoshop.  Lightroom can use external programs like Photoshop to enable  users to edit image in ways the Lightroon can not however the image files then are not compatible with lightroom   you would need to save flatten image file to use with lightroom and loose your work layers.  I don't waste my disk space  with lightroon  and it huge library database system.  I don't run a Photography Business I'm a retired men of leisure...

  • Previous trial opens instead of Creative Cloud

    Why does my mac keep trying to open my old trial version, instead of Creative cloud?

    A couple clarifying points I wanted to callout when reading over peoples posts here:
    - If you are running a trial version of a product, the 30 day trial affects any other trials which happen to include that same product.
    For example, if you downloaded a trial of Master Collection CS6 which included Photoshop CS6, you couldn't install the trial of Photoshop CS6 by itself and use it for an additional 30 days. Once you've used the 30 day trial up for a product you will be prompted to enter a serial number. This includes the trial of Creative Cloud.
    - In some rare cases the trial will not give you the 30 days, this does not happen very often but it can. Usually the reason that this happens is there is something about the computer in which the trial was installed that prevented the software from installing and delivering the trial period properly, examples would include the system date being set incorrectly, security software preventing necessary registry or file changes, improper user permissions. If for some reason you installed a trial and didn't get your 30 days to try out the product, a good option might be to test out the software on a different computer. If you buy a product directly from Adobe, you can get a full refund within the first 30 days if needed.
    - Different types of Adobe products use different licensing. Products you purchase to own use serial numbers. Subscription products like Creative Cloud Membership license with your Adobe ID and do NOT use serial numbers.
    @Macullen91, I'm sorry to hear Creative Cloud didn't work out for you. I don't know all the details of your situation. When you join Creative Cloud you are billed monthly by credit card and the software does need to check the status of your subscription every 30 days. This should happen silently the background unless it can't connect to the internet. It sounds like you might be looking at a FAQ and documentation regarding buying a product to own versus subscribing to Creative Cloud, as I described Creative Cloud doesn't use serial numbers. If you buy a product to own there is an option to download or be mailed the physical boxed media. If you choose the download option you are sent an email with download instructions and a serial number. I'm sorry no one explained all this to you clearer sooner and your experience was a such a hassle. I'm happy to answer additional questions to if you have any and review whatever documentation you saw that caused the confusion to better understand.
