How can I install CS6 Production Premium upgrade without re-installing CS5.5?

I need to reinstall Adobe Creative Suite CS6 Production Premium on my OSX 10.9.5 (Mavericks). I bought CS6 as an upgrade to my CS5.5. I can't reinstall CS5.5 because it doesn't seem to be supported on the new OSX (the installer won't run). CS6 seems to be able to install, but when I enter in the serial number, it says that I need CS5.5 already installed.
I'm working on a tight deadline and hoping for someone to tell me what I should do.. thanks!

When you go to activate CS6 it should indicate that your serial number is valid but a qualifying product cannot be found on the machine (this would be CS5.5).  There should be a selection list where you select the older version (CS5.5)  as well as an entry where you input the serial number for that older version.

    I believe you need to go into your utilities folder and open "Activity Monitor"...look for Dynamic Link Manager in there. then quit the process. I had to do that to install my cs6.

  • How do you install CS6 Production Premium on a MAC?

    I purchased CS6 Production Premium from JourneyEd Academic software. The software only seems to be a Windows version.
    JourneyEd will not issue a RMA number and claims it can be installed on a MAC.
    They said contact Adobe for help. How do I install it or can it be returned to Adobe for exhange??

    Do you have a serial number?  For CS6 Production Premium there is only a Windows version or Mac version there is not a multi-platform version available for Education customers.  Equally you will be unable to use the Windows serial number with a Mac installer.
    If you have received your serial number already then you can request a platform swap by following the steps listed in Order product | Platform, language swap - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/order-product-platform-language-swap.htm l.

  • Moving from Mac to PC. Can I install CS6 Production Premium on my new PC?

    I'm building a new PC and have a copy of CS6 Production Premium (Student and Teacher Liscensing) on my Mac at the moment.

    I hope this qustion makes sense. Any information you could provide would be much appreciated.

  • CS6 Production Premium upgrade - any problems to delete old versions?

    Am looking to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.  However the CS4 full install original is still on my PC because I read it could cause problems with CS5 to delete it.
    Have also read on these forums that all upgrades are full installs and that older versions can be uninstalled so long as I have an older version serial key number to use. 
    Also that the Adobe registry cleaner should be used after an uninstall - but the Adobe site seems to be talking about using its "CS Cleaner Tool" after uninstalling pre-release versions - not purchased upgrades.
    So Q. is can CS4 & CS5 be safely uninstalled prior to loading CS6?  (All Production Premium.)  And should the CS Cleaner Tool be used?
    Does anyone have a definite answer on this please?  Naturally want to avoid keeping old stuff on the system if possible.
    Haven't found a general forum for CS6 Production Premium.  Please redirect if not okay here. Mostly using PremierePro. 

    I don't know what Adobe's 'official' stance is on this, and I'm not an offial PR spokesperson for adobe. I'm just trying to speak honestly about my own experice as a fellow user. If you're in a position to get rid of all your old stuff and start fresh anew then running an uninstall and a cleanscript is a good idea. I can't speak with authority on that because I typically don't use cleanscripts. I either restore to a clean OS image or just use the uninstaller. But I always carry at least one system with two or more consecutive versions installed on it. Having an extra version is no more obtrusive to me than the extra's GB's it occupies and I get a lot out of it because it lets me compare current behavior to previous version(s). Perhaps I've just been lucky, but I have been running multi-version software setups for well over 10 years now and as long as I'm using the actual released software I've had no conflicts. For the record, I do occassionally encounter uninstall-install component conflicts during a dev cycle, so I acknowledge they exist, but it's almost always due to an architectural change that was intentionally made to the installer during development.
    We do extensive project upgrade and installer testing at each new release to ensure that you encounter no problems following wichever path you choose. We try not to assume that you will be running on an especially clean system, or an especially dirty one for that matter. But, there are only a relatively few of us testing these things in-house compared the thousands of users with unique scenarios that may generate problems we have not seen. I think Harm's (and others') point is that if you're in the middle of a big important project, why would you choose to upgrade software right in the middle of it and take that chance at all? I don't believe there is much risk there (assuming you're not jumping about half a dozen versions at one upgrade) but that still seems like common sense advice to me...

  • Installing CS6 Production Premium and Retaining Some Programs from CS5

    I currently have the CS5 Design Premium suite installed on my computer. I want to purchase CS6 Production Premium and want to know if CS6 automatically uninstalls CS5?  I want to keep Dreamweaver and InDesign from the CS5 suite. Is this possible or is CS5 uninstalled without any control over retaining programs within the suite. Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply. I want to install all of CS6 Production Premium. I just want to make sure that I can keep Dreamweaver and InDesign from my CS5 Design Premium suite (they are not part of CS6 Production Premium). Do I have the option to keep software from CS5?
    Thanks

    Sorry there is no way to retrieve your lost pictures if you haven't backed up since 2013.
    No software will recover those lost photos.
    Did you at the very least import your pics to your computer as you would a digital camera?

  • Can't find the download link for CS6 Production Premium after uninstalling PS CS6 Beta...

    I downloaded and installed CS6 Production Premium.  Then I realized I had to uninstall PS6 Beta.  But after uninstalling PS6 Beta I wasn't able to reinstall PS6.  I went back into My Adobe and although I see CS6 and the serial number listed under purchased products, nothing comes up when I click on recent orders or order history.  I can't find a link to redownload the product.
    Thanks!
    Raoul

    If you have already downloaded the CS6 Production PRemium then you can use the same to install , no need to re-download
    and If you don't have the downloaded setup then you can download the software as trial and serialize it later but do make the back up for future use.
    To have the download links under Adobe,com account, you have to contact Support no one can help you here.

  • CS6 Production Premius Upgrade

    1. Anyone know the file size of CS6 Production Premium Upgrade download?
    2. Can this file then be copied and installed on another computer where my video works reside ?
    This will not be the creative cloud version.

    Thanks Vinay: 
    May I ask you opinion on which do you thing would be the least trouble free way to go.
    Win-7 pro 64 bit.
    Install the CS6 Upgrade from CS5 and have both versions running on the system / or deactivate and uninstall CS5 first..
    My CS5 system is rather rock solid and have projects in the works.
    I am from the old school and afraid of doing an uninstall and having registry issues left over causing problems that is one reason I might like to keep both on the same system "if doing so will cause no issues.
    350gb left free  on my Raptor 10,000 RPM System Drive.
    Another topic perhaps..
    If I have both versions installed will my after market pluggins show on in both CS5 & 6 automatically. Things like Video Co-Pilot files, Neat Video applications etc?
    Thanks for your time and assistance..
    I won't be downloading the upgrade for a couple days, not a lucky person so won't do it on Halloween.  :-)
