How do I re-install CS4 on my computer ?

I have a Mac. I want to delete everything, and perform a 'clean install' of Lion.
So my copy of CS4 will have been deleted. I think it was bought as an upgrade to CS3 or equivalent.
I have the CS4 disks - but I worry that they won't work if I don't have a previous version of CS4 on my computer. Which I won't have after the 'clean install' of Lion.
Will I be able to download a complete version of CS4 onto my computer without having to pay for it?
Thanks,
- Greg

Hi Greg,
If you have the serial key for CS4, you will be able to upgrade to CS5 or now CS5.5 without any issues. For purchasing the upgrade version, you can go to the above link provided by Preran
(http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/upgradeinfo.html) and get the creative suite of your choice.
Cheers!!

  • How do I install CS4 on other computer without disks?

    I was overseas when I purchased CS4 via a download and installed it on my laptop.  I now want to install it on my desktop at home in the US, but I'm puzzled as to how best to go about doing this because I only have some files on my laptop from the original download purchase.  I do not have any installation disks to install CS4 on my desktop.  How do I go about installing it onto my desktop?

    When you purchased to download you made a account on the adobe website. Just click on "your account" and log in. You should still be able to download. Also burn a copy of the download to a DVD so you will have it in the future.

  • Installing CS4 on 2nd computer

    My hard drive crashed on my iMac. I purchased a new hard drive and reinstalled CS4 without any problems. I'm trying to install CS4 onto my new MacBook Pro but nothing happens when I insert the disc. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi -
    I was able to install it on another computer; and I just tried to install another program and the disc was also rejected. Think you are right - it is the optical drive. Had not thought of this!!
    So, either get it repared, find an external drive to use or, maybe time for a new macbook pro!!
    Thanks for all your help...funny how it is the most obvious of things...

  • How to install cs4 on new computer without disks?

    Originally purchased CS4 in 2009 by download, not disk, and want to move it to a new computer (Windows 7). Can't find a file on Adobe.com to download, install, and activate. Adobe website says no chat or phone support for a product that old. Help, please?

  • How often can I install CS4?

    It's probably a dumb question, but here goes:
    I've installed a copy of CS4 on my main computer at work.
    However, a lot of my work is also done at weekends or evenings on my laptop, for this I use my laptop. Am I allowed to install the same software on said laptop?

    Just to be clear....With a single user license you are entitled to install and activate the software on two computers for non-concurrent use by a single user. This means you can't have a second shift using that machine at work while you use the laptop at home.
    If you're the sole user of both machines, the EULA allows what you're doing as does the activation system.

  • Can't install CS4 on vintage computer

    I have CS3. It was installed on my old Mac (circa 2006). My computer broke - it won't start, and my Apple store couldn't get it to fully start. I got a new (used) Mac (circa 2008). I keep getting an error message about the serial number when I try to install. How can I deactivate CS3 on my broken Mac so I can reinstall it on my working computer?

  • How can i i install firefox on a computer i can't download it directly to

    I need to make a copy of firefox to install on a computer that can't download from internet because IE is not installed how do i do this

    Hey scopeland,
    I'd say your best bet would be to download the Firefox installer and put it on a flash stick. Then you can plug it into the computer that doesn't have IE and install Firefox that way.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I re-install GarageBand on my computer? I had to delete it because of midi driver issues.

    This is extremly frustrating. I was sent the wrong disk for my OSX as well, so I can't even use that disk. I called customer service and was told I had to pay for someone to help me fix this issue.

    if your mac came with a version of OS X prior to 10.7, then you need the machine specific grey disk (disk 2 which contains the applications).  Either that or purchase it from the app store for $15.

  • Re-installing CS4 Design Premium

    I have the Windows XP operating system.  I've had CS4 installed for several years and had no problem until recently.  I primarily use Photoshop.  Recently, it began not saving photos as .jpegs.  I completely uninstalled it and have been trying to re-install it.  I've tried installing the entire Suite, then Photoshop, In Design and Illustrator and, finally,  just Photoshop.  All came up with the message "Installation Failed".  There is no information on why the installation failed or how to resolve it.  I've turned off all my anti-virus and firewall protection (also disconnected my Ethernet) every time.  Why is this happening and how can I re-install CS4?

    Hi Mylenium -
    Thank you for responding.
    It turns out that I have Windows 7 64-bit as my operating system instead of Windows XP.  My apologies for that misinformation.  I've run the Creative Suite Cleaner Suite tool and it doesn't solve the problem.  I ran the Support Advisor and it keeps coming up with this as the problem:
    I clicked on details and corrective actions, found Solutions and followed the instructions for removing the current Adobe color profiles.  It still didn't re-install.
    I don't have to install the entire CS Suite.  Just Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
    Is there anything else I might try? 
    Thanks again for your help!

  • How to resolve message "Installer database is corrupt" when trying to install CS4 on Win 8.1?

    I purchased a disk set of CS4 a few years back and have recently purchased a new computer. When trying to install CS4 on the new computer, I received an error message saying "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." Called "customer support" and after a VERY long time and three transfers, I was told "Too bad, we can't help you. Maybe download a new copy?" So I did. When trying to install the fresh download, I received the exact same error message: "Installer database is corrupt. Please contact Adobe Customer support." This appears to be a conflict between the CS4 installer database and Win 8.1. Is this a known issue? How do I resolve it? Thanks for any assistance. ~Evey

    No, but it may help the chances of a successful installation.
