  • Installing CS3 Upgrade Version on a NEW PC

    Hello,
    I've had a lot of problems contacting Adobe and hope you can help me.
    I'm getting a new PC soon and want to install my copy of CS3 Design Standard. The disk here is an upgrade disk as I had the original creative suite (also an upgrade disk). Before that I had Photoshop 6.0, InDesign 2.0 etc.
    How would I install CS3 successfully?
    Thanks!

    How would I install CS3 successfully?
    Probably not at all. New PC means Win 7 or Win 8 and CS3 is not compatible at all with the latter and exposes some not so minor issues with the otehr. Beyond that, if you feel adventurous, al lyou need is your CS3 and you will be asked for a serial of a previous product. Just expect this to be an unpleasant experience and don't say you haven't been warned. Of course you might end up happy like a kid on Christmas on the odd chance it may work without a hitch...

  • Can't find CS2 serial to install CS3 upgrade version (*@*! Yosemite)

    Hi all,
    Am having to re-install my CS3 (old I know, but still does the job) after having to wipe my hard drive after making the mistake of upgrading my OS to Yosemite... trouble is, as it was the upgrade version (had to install CS2 first) I now need to enter my CS2 serial - which I don't have.
    Still waiting for answer on the "Chat" service (customer support no longer 'does' customer support for this) and nothing in my products page in my Adobe ID so a little stuck at the mo !
    Any solution MUCH appreciated

    Hi Ned,
    Thanks for the (extremely prompt!) answer - I've marked as "correct" as I reckon it would work (the installation dialogue box only required a valid CS2 serial and the one on the download link - 1130-0412-8377-1896-9751-5759 - should work, according to what the page states).
    Fortunately I managed to find (an old sketchbook that I was using at the time that had a note of both my CS2 and CS3 serials so managed to finish my install from that... one advantage of hoarding old notebooks !
    Thanks again, and much kudos to you !
    NB. If anyone else has the same issue (re-installing the upgrade version of CS3) then there is no need to install CS2 first before installing CS3 - the system should know you had a valid CS2 and only requires the valid serial.

  • How do i install cs5 upgrade version from cs2?

    hi
    unsure whether this new win8 machine is 32 bit or 64 bit
    not sure if my upgrade from cs2 to cs5 purchase is 32 bit or 64 bit

    Thank you John,
    Very helpful.  Unfortunately, when it came to the point that the install asked for the earlier version, it said it was not a valid upgrade version.  In seeking an answer to this problem i went onto Adobe chat and was informed that
    Laishram: I have checked and see that the serial number for the CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5 product.
    Chris: hmmmm. everything i read is that the upgrade version was for cs2. i just purchased it because the computer i had died and i bought a new one. i knew that my upgrade to CS5 version wouldn't work without an earlier version so I bought CS2 on ebay just two weeks ago. what can i do?
    Laishram: I am sorry CS2 is not a valid upgrade path to the CS5.
    I couldn't get more info from Laishram as to WHY is wasn't a "valid upgrade path" and I don't know what "not a valid upgrade path" means but, i'm guessing that i did something wrong when purchasing CS2.  I was told that i could use the upgrade version(of CS5) that i purchased (to upgrade FROM CS2 to CS5)  to upgrade to CS 6.  So I'll have to do that I reckon.

  • After upgrading to firefox 7, I can't use many of the features on my schools secure website. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox?

    After upgrading to firefox 8, I can't use many of the functions on my schools website like opening the textbook and sending emails. I spoke the school's tech. support & they informed me that my version of firefox was not compatible with their system. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox (firefox 6 to be exact)?

    You can download Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.5 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/6.0.2/
    Backup your '''Profiles''' folder before new installation.
    edit: replaced random third-party download site link.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

  • "Response Code" needed to install CS3 (upgrade from CS2) - cannot get through on 'chat'

    How do I get a Response Code for installing CS3 (upgraded from CS2) on a new computer? I used to be able to call for the code but there is no phone support anymore. I have spent 3 days trying to connect through chat which is supposed to be available 24/7 and it says 'chat is unavailable at this time'. I have no way of installing my software. Please help adobe.

    Okay so I spent a further 2 hours on hold this morning and actually forgot I was on hold until I heard the beep beep beep of disconnection!  GARRRRRR
    Anyway, after a nice visit from my family to celebrate my birthday, i got back on the phone this afternoon.
    5 minutes later I was speaking to a Technical Support guy who was extremely helpful, did not ask me to repeat trouble shooting steps I had already taken, listened to me carefully as I explained the problem and diagnosed, fixed and activated my software within 30 minutes.
    Resolution of the problem:  they gave me an updater checker response code which worked immediately. Ctrl/Shift+dbl click on the broken update cheker page and up came a back door screen.  Just a few digits later  and PRESTO my software is up and running like a dream.  Activation was smooth and registration no problem.
    THANKS!!!
    Now i just have to figure out how to tell Acrobat Prof 8 where the damn .dll is on my 64 bit vista computer - having already installed acrobat professional without telling it where to look because I didn't think the install was going to work anyway. Dang.

  • How do we install the upgrade on windows if if we have acrobat 8 to start with?

    Hi WE have Acrobat 8 pro and wish to upgrade to our new OS windows 7 by purchasing Acrobat X pro but obviously we can't install and run Acrobat 8 on windows 7 so how do we install the upgrade without first installing the earlier version?

    Our Acrobat 8 is an upgrade version for version 7 which we have also.  Its a business and we have been upgrading for years.  But changing the OS has caused a big problem for us as older software that has been upgraded over the years will not install.
    So will the version 8 Serial number still work?

  • How can I install a second version without affecting the first?

    How can I install a second version of FF without affecting my original installation?

    You can install multiple Firefox versions via a custom install in different installation folders and only use the older Firefox version when you really need it.<br />
    Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Custom+installation+of+Firefox+on+Windows
    * http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
    Make sure not to start Firefox after the installation has finished.<br />
    Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
    Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.

  • How do I install a specific version of nvidia?

    I am noob coming from Gentoo. How do I install a specific version of nvidia? The new one (169.09-2) does not work well with my video playback (choppy). I know that for whatever reason, the 169.04 beta version works on my hardware better than any other version. How do I install it the pacman way, instead of using Nvidia's installer?
