How to install upgrades on a new computer

Hello. I just purchased the upgrade to CS5.5 yesterday, but I'm on a new computer. I tried to install my previous version (CS4) first on the new computer first, but my original full license is CS, so it's asking for THAT serial number. Which I don't have. I didn't purchase it from Adobe, but one of those companies like MacMall. The serial numbers in the "About" panels for the individual programs don't work. I don't have the box anymore, and I don't think I have the disks, althought they may be at my office somewhere. Copying CS programs onto the new machine isn't working either (I didn't think it would). I'm stuck. And need to work...I know I can do a trial version for now, but what is the process for this situation if I can't locate the serial numbers?
I may have a receipt somewhere, but it's unlikely since it was so long ago.

CS5.5 would only ask for the serial of the previous product which is CS4. No need to install anything.

  • Installing upgrade on a new computer

    I have a new computer and want to re-install an upgrade (acrobat 8) but the new computer doesn't have the original software to upgrade from, and I can't find my original software disc (might have been a download..) 

    When you install an upgrade it's not required for an older version of the software to exist on the computer. The installer prompts to select the previous version of the software you own and enter the serial number.
    So make sure you have the serial number of the older version of the software.
    and since you said that the older version might have been a download, you can login to your adobe account and check the purchase history to retrieve the serial number.
    In case you still face issues you can contact Customer Care at 8008336687 and they would help you retrieve the serial number information if its registered under your account.

  • How to install Photoshop on a new computer

    Jeff,
    That option is not working for me because I have a subscription to Adobe Photoshop rather than a product.
    When I view my orders, it says I have no orders, I can only see my purchases through the "my subscription and services" link.
    I do not see a place to download the program.
    Please help!
    Thanks!

  • How to install Ps5 on the new computer?

    Must I delete Ps5 on the old computer first and then install it on the new one? Or is it possible to have this program on the two computers?

    Hi Vitazor,
    Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
    If you own, or are the primary user of, a single-user or volume license Adobe product that is installed on a computer at work, you can also install and use the software on one secondary computer of the same platform at home or on a portable computer. However, you may not run the software simultaneously on both the primary and secondary computers.
    for more information

  • How 2 Install Aperture on a new computer

    I just ordered a new Mac Pro. I have Aperture on my old computer and I want to install it on the new one. I don't want to use the Aperture v1.0 CD then do all the updates to get to the latest version. Is there a way to download the latest version of aperture, then just enter my serial number or something.
    Also, once Aperture is installed, what's the best way to connect the two Macs together so I can move the library from old to new. My Mac (and other windows computers) are all on a LAN in my home.
    --Scott

    1. Try using the Aperture trial with the retail serial number.
    2. Click here for information.

  • How to install Photoshop CS2 on new computer, and deinstall from old one.

    I have Photoshop CS2 installed on my desktop since 2005. I now want to install it on a new desktop and remove it from the old desktop.
    But does that still work since this is an old version? Who can help me?

    CS2 activation is no longer supported. Go here for a non-activation copy and new serial number.

  • I purchased Illustrator on Ap 24, 2012 and would like to install it on a new computer... how do I do that?

    I need to know how to install illustrator on a new computer after installing it previously on another computer.

    Nina,
    Just install it as you did on the old computer, same serial number, same procedure.
    You can have it installed on two computers at the same time, but you may wish to deactivate and uninstall it on the old one if you have stopped using it, so you are free to install again.

  • Computer with CS6 Died on one of two computers. I need to install and activate CS6 Web Premium on another computer. How can I activate it on new computer?

    I have Adobe Creative Suite CS6 installed on two computers. One of the two computers experienced a catastrophic failure. The hard drive is damaged and the computer will not boot. So now I only have access to CS6 on one computer.  I would like to install CS6 on a new computer so that I have two working computers each with an installation of CS6. How do I do this and activate both installations? I tried calling Adobe but the only number I have to troubleshoot problems is for Creative Cloud problems only. Any way to contact a live person at Adobe would be appreciated. Any other solutions would also be appreciated..
    Thank you.
    Chick

    You can contact Adobe support thru chat and they can deal with inaccessible activations to deactivate them.

  • I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I do this?

    I purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 about 6 months ago. I want to install it to my new computer which is a Macbook Pro with no CD Drive. How do I install it when I got it in CD form?

    I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
    In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

  • How do I install Acrobat on a new computer?

    How do I install Acrobat on a new computer?

    The same way you would have on an older computer. You run the install program from the CD or the download you saved. You will need the S/N to complete the install. If you are no longer going to use the old computer, be sure to deactivate Acrobat on that machine.
