How to migrate CS5 customizations to CS6?

I just installed several apps from Creative Cloud, and they installed alongside my CS5 apps.  But none of the customizations were migrated (menus, keymapping, colorcoding, etc).
Is there a tool to do this?  Is it safe to just copy the configuration XMS files fro m CS5 to CS6?

Thanks, Dave.  With LOTS of trial and error (I am on Windows 7) I found that after repeatedly running DW and FW "as Administrator", and uninstalling the CS5 version of those 2 apps I was able to get most customizations installed.  It was partly manual edits to "Preferences", and partly just copying some of the configuration XML files.
I like what I see thus far in CS6, but have reported 1 DW CS6 bug as well, so unfortunately I'm planning a drop in productivity until the kinks get identified and resolved.

  • How to upgrade CS5 Extended to CS6 Extended?

    I have CS5 Extended and would like to upgrade to CS6 Extended. Can someone help me. I am using a MAC. Thanks.

    Yes, $199 for the regular Photoshop CS6 version, $399 for Extended from CS5 standard.
    A full copy, without the upgrade, is $999 for Photoshop Extended.
    So the upgrade already gives you a $600 discount.
    Just pay like we all did, or sign up for the subscription mode, $9.99 per month for both the latest version of Photoshop  Extended and Lightroom thrown in.  With a subscription, you'll never own the software.  When your monthly payments stop, the software ceases to work.

  • How to Transfer Colletions from Bridge CS5 to Bridge CS6?

    How to Transfer collections from Bridge in CS5 to CS6?  I tried to copy my collections to the new Bridge but for some reason I do not see an option.  I tried putting on Keywords on my collections so that I can pull them up again but for some reason it won't write keywords anymore?  What is the best approach to transfer collections.  Thanks.  KC

    What is the best approach to transfer collections.  Thanks.  KC
    On a Mac both the keyword file and collections are stored in the user library (by default hidden in OSX lion) in the user account.
    The path on Mac:
    user / library / Application Support / Adobe. Inhere you should see both Bridge CS5 and bridge CS6 if you have upgraded while the older system is still on your system.
    In Bridge CS5 you see several folders and files. The keyword file that has all your in CS5 created keywords is called 'Adobe Bridge Keywords.xml' and the folder called Collections should have all your saved collections in it.
    You can copy the keyword file to the same location in CS6 and also the content of the collections folder can be copied to the CS6 folder.
    After restarting Bridge CS6 they should reflect the correct collections and keywords.
    Don't know the path on Windows but it might be similar.

    How do I upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 and how much does it cost in New Zealand?

    If you don't want to go the Cloud route and subscribe then Adobe still sells CS6 (online only) via their website
    http://www.adobe.com/au/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_s l_creativesuite6.html
    (make sure you're in the NZ store - check the Country the link above the Copyright at the bottom LHS of the page)
    Select your product then click Buy
    I want to buy: Select Upgrade from the dropdown menu
    I own: <select your existing CS5.5 product>
    Complete your purchase.
    Upgrade cost depends on which CS5.5 suite you own and which CS6 suite you want to upgrade to.

  • How to Replace All the Bridge CS6 Stock Keywords With Bridge CS5 Keywords

    I have CS6 working in a different computer than the one that houses CS5. Bridge CS6 can read CS5 keywords when it opens an "old" photo but it has none of its own (besides the stock ones that came with the program). How can I replace all the stock CS6 keywords with the keywords from CS5?

    Have you tried the Import/Export options from the tiny menu at the top-right of the Keywords panel?

  • After purchasing CS5, updating online to CS6, I reimaged harddrive. How do I get back to CS6?

    After purchasing CS5 boxed, updating to CS6 online, I've had to reimage my harddrive. How do I get back to CS6 from 5 without the physical copy???

    you don't need to install cs5 in order to install your cs6 upgrade.
    after you start the installation of cs6 you will be prompted for your cs6 serial number.  the installer will recognize that is an upgrade serial number and search your system for your cs5.  failing to find that it will prompt you for your cs5 serial number.  after entering that, installation will proceed.
    if you wanted to install both cs5 and cs6, you can:
    if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    Since you're an MVP :-)  I wonder if you can help me with one other weird thing I've noticed in Illustrator. Why I am NOT able to turn on the modal dialog boxes, or view any list of settings, regarding Image Trace steps in my Actions panel? I would like to be able to choose what Image Trace preset I use during an action, but it always chooses [Default] and does not give me any means to change that.

  • CS5.5 to CS6 free upgrade - Why can't I get a disk?

    I have been trying to convince someone in support at Adobe that we would like a hard copy disk of the CS5.5 to CS6 free upgrade, however they keep sending me a link to Creative Cloud even though I have talked to customer support until I am blue in the face that our IT department wants a hard copy to use for my download?    We purchased the hard copy of CS5.5.   Can I pay the $20 charge for the hard copy?

    I purchased 5.5 and am looking to get the complimentary CS6 upgrade.   Customer service for some odd reason do not want to discuss how to obrtain a disk.  Last time they sent me a link to Creative Cloud ...... for what reason I do not know, except maybe this is where you can download from the internet.   Our download is too slow and I need a disk.

  • How to migrate 'responsibility' level personalizations?

    Hi all,
    We have done a set of personalizations at responsibility level in our UAT instance.
    We have no problem migrating the 'site' level personalization. We use the 'Functional Administrator' -> Import/Export utility.
    But, We find that the responsibility level personalizations are stored under a folder hierarchy as below:
    Eg:
    Responsibility: XXRecruitment Manager
    Responsibilty Key: XXRECRUIT_MAN
    Responsibility ID: 50977
    Personalization is exported in this folder:
    /oracle/apps/per/irc/vacancy/webui/customizations/responsibility/50977/RectrDetsRN
    It is stored under a folder '50977' corresponding to the responsibility id of the responsibility that we personalized.
    Our problem is, the responsibility id's and responsibility key's are different in UAT and production instances:
    Responsibility: XXRecruitment Manager 01
    Responsibilty Key: XXRECRUIT_MAN_01
    Responsibility ID: 50900
    Now, how to migrate such personaliations? Our client have personalized atleast 25 pages at various responsibilty levels. Please suggest a suitable way to migrate these personalizations.
    thanks in advance,
    Hem

    Hem,
    We had the similar discussion in past once, but I guess the user didn't update the final results. As far as I think, 'Functional Administrator' -> Import/Export utility should be handling this scenario.
    Did you try it atleast on one such responsibility level personalization?

  • How to migrate waiting stage workflows in ms crm 2015

    Hi,
    We are migrating the data from ms crm 2011 on-premise to ms crm 2015 on-line.
    So how to migrate the ms crm 2011 on-premise waiting stage workflows to crm 2015 on-line?
    Is there anyway to migrate these workflows or workaround? Please suggest
    Its very urgent.
    Thanks,
    Yadav
    Yadav

    Hello Yadav,
    If you want to migrate from CRM 2011 on premise to CRM 2015 online, unfortunately this is not possible in single step. You would have to first upgrade to CRM 2013 and then only you can upgarde to CRM 2015.
    CRM 2011 -> CRM 2013 SP1 -> CRM 2015
    Refer https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh699673.aspx
    For On Premise to Online migration, all customizations has to be exported through a solution. And if your database is big you need to plan your migration using a DM tool like scribe.
    Now coming on to your original question, the answer is if you just migrate database, everything will be in same state as it was earlier in your old environment, and will continue the same way. The records for which workflow are in waiting state or in progress
    will be resumed again automatically once the migration is completed, if you will stop "CRM Aynchronous Service" then all workflows will be in waiting state so when you will resume the service again then the system will resume those workflows again.
