How to Upgrade AE CS5 to CS6

So I've convinced my boss to buy me an upgrade - thing is our network guys aren't going to let me get CC until Adobe can resolve some of it's authentication issues.
I currently have CS5. I downloaded and installed a trial of Master CS6. They've bought me Production Prem CS6. I'm on Mac Mavericks.
Not sure how this works now. I'll need to hold on to InDesign and Dreamweaver CS5. So my question is - should I just wipe the HD and start over? Or can I just authorize the Pro Prem set and uninstall the CS6 programs that don't come with the Pro Prem? On windows I would totally start over - but this mac seems to be handling CS5 and CS6 stuff side by side...

Different version, different license, separate installs. This has never been any different - neither Windows nor Mac. There is no requirement, at least from a technical POV, to jump hoops. "Clean installs" are an urban myth, anyway.

How to upgrade Photoshop CS5.1 To CS6

How do I go about doing this and what is the cost? I don't want any of this monthly plan nonsense I've seen floating around and tech support for Adobe is terrible. They keep putting me in a loop of questions online that don't answer anything and then tell me to go ask other people on forums. Why can't they have the kind of support Godaddy has? They even have an option to turn off the elevator music..... Yet, I can't even find a human to talk to here.
Anyway, I am thinking of upgrading. What are the perks and new features of doing so? I have a student discount and want to upgrade. What is the outright cost?

Full is the only Student Discount option. No upgrade from CS5
$350 Student Discount Full version Extended, which includes 3D features and Analysis tools. No upgrade option from CS5
However, you can upgrade but it is not a Student discount, just a regular discount everyone gets.
$200 Non Edu upgrade to Photoshop Standard, no 3D Feature or Analysis tools
$200 or $350, It depends what you want. You can trial CS6 here and decide.

Hi can you please advise how I can upgrade from cs5 to cs6 without monthly annual payments or this cloud stuff

Any assistance would be appreciated been trolling the net for ages no success.

I apologise, I had overlooked that; it should be possible, though.
Quote from
FAQ | Adobe Creative Suite
Owners of a CS5 or CS5.5 suite edition qualify for upgrade pricing to a CS6 suite edition. Owners of an individual CS5 or CS5.5 product qualify for upgrade pricing on that CS6 product. Any version earlier than CS5 will not be eligible for upgrade pricing.

Opinions on Upgrade from CS5 to CS6

Hello,
I am using CS5 now and am wondering how big of a performance and overall improvement I will find by upgrading to CS6? I am not moving to the CC so I thought I might do one last hurrah, but only if it offers some decent advantages.
Your input on the move from AE CS5 to CS6 based on user experience would be appreciated. I am on Windows 7. Thanks

The biggest performance improvements in After Effects CS6 are from the global performance cache, as shown here:

How to upgrade Lr3 & CS5 to be compatible with new Macbook Pro retina screen

I believe that Adobe has recently released upgrades to Lightroom and CS6 that make them compatible with the retina screen. First of all, is this correct and secondly, if I have Lr3 and CS5, how do I upgrade? I know it's a dumb question.

Upgrade From CS5 To CS6 Problems With Flash Graphics?

Hi People.
I upgraded from Adobe CS5 to CS6. I originally built a printable book and developed an interactive version in InDesign CS5, which I finally exported to Flash. For the printed version I used Adobe illustrator to create the book images and for the interactive version I converted the images into SWF.
The upgrade from Adobe CS5 to CS6 went well for the InDesign printed version of the book and I exported the new CS6 version of the printed book to PDF. However when I opened the old InDesign CS5 interactive version of the book in InDesign CS6 I was missing the links for the images.
When I tried to relink the images I was told `Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation:.
Please please help me because I am 2000 images in the new CS6 interactive version and short of going back and replacing each one individually, I am at a loss.
Thanks.

Steve,
Thanks...
Yes I can place the old SWF file into a new CS6 document and that works well, but I`m talking about 3 books of a total of nearly 10,00 images, which is a lot of time of replacing old for new,
Maybe I`ll stick with the interactive books staying in CS5 because I can`t see any material benefit of upgrading them to CS6, unless they were to be EPuped from their present CD Rom format?
However I do think it is a dreadfull oversight of Adobe not to stop me be penalized in a large slice of my profession, interactive second language book production, for the good intent of upgrading my CS Master Suite,
Take Care.

Keywords lost in upgrading from cs5 to cs6

Hi,
Recently, I upgraded from Photoshop CS5 to CS6, including Bridge.
A very bad surprise was to find that the keyword system that I had developed and used to assign kewords to new pictures was no longer there.
Apparently, this very important "personal setting" was not transferred in the upgrade procedure.
What can I do to retrieve it?
What is the filename in which Bridge keeps the keywords?
Perhaps I could find it on my system or some backup.
Or, if that won't work: I notice that when opening an old picture its kwds appear in the kwd panel, although in italics. and not in the hierarchical fashion they should.
However, retrieving my kwds this way would be a terible task if I have to open each of thousands of pictures one by one.
Is there a batch kind of way to do this, that retrieves the kwds from all pix in a folder with subfolders?
Please help,
Sverker

Thanks all for considering my problem and for the advice!
I was away from these matters for a while, now I'm back on it.
First let me mention that I did indeed find a program for looking into the big .MIG file.
But alas, the keywords file was not there, don't know why (thus it didn't matter to me that extraction of files from the .MIG didn't seem to work.)
Thus I was ready to follow the advice you guys gave me from the beginning, to recreate the keyword list from the image files. I made some use of the suggested Find / Keyword, chosing a particular keyword or just "exists" for a folder.
But I soon found out that my keyword structure needed several improvements, and thus I gave up simply hitting Make Persist.
Instead I am working my way on smaller chunks of files -- feels worth the trouble.
To make this work more efficient, it would be useful if there were a way to prevent Bridge from starting to immediately writing changes to the files on disk, doing it over and over again for each keyword I assign or remove.
Would be much better if I could make all changes in, say, a folder and then ask Bridge to write the changes to disk.
Do you know if there is an option to stop the immediate writing of changes?
I vaguely seem to remember I'v read about it, but now I can't find any such opotion.
(maybe this should be posted as a new question?)
Regards,
Sverker

After upgrading from cs5 to cs6, do I have to upgrade extensis fusion 3 to 4?

Do I have to upgrade from fusion 3 to 4 now that I have upgraded cs5 to cs6?
And do you know if extensis offers student discounts? I can't find anything on the 'net or their site, but I thought I'd ask here too before I buy the upgrade for (ugh) $50.
I thought maybe I would open the files in cs5 first, to auto-activate the fonts, then close, then reopen in cs6. Kind of a hassle, but it saves me a bit of green…
Any suggestions welcome.

Yes, I have posted there, too. But these forums are more robust. Thanks

Upgrading Photoshop CS5 to CS6

I have just downloaded PS CS6 as an upgrade to CS5. Do I need to uninstall CS5 first before installing CS6? Will I need to keep the disk for CS5 if I need to re-install CS6 if I upgrade my computer?
Thanks,
Ben

Do I need to uninstall CS5 first before installing CS6?
No. CS6 will install into its own folder. You can keep using CS5 and CS6.
Will I need to keep the disk for CS5 if I need to re-install CS6 if I upgrade my computer?
Not the disk. Just the CS5 serial number. Keep all serial numbers very safe and handy for future reference.
When you reinstall CS6 (new computer or re-build the old one) just install the CS6 upgrade disk (even if no Adobe product has ever been installed on that computer).
The CS6 installer will ask you for the CS6 serial and will recognise that it's an upgrade. It will then ask you to enter a serial from an earlier qualifying version. Enter your CS5 serial number and the CS6 will complete the install.

Upgrading from CS3 to CC. Should I upgrade to CS5 or CS6 first to be sure my older files will still function?

I want to upgrade, but I want to do it smart so my files will all still open and work. Now at CS3, do I need upgrade to say, CS5 or CS6, before going to CC?

No need for that. Older files will always open.
(The other way around can sometimes be more difficult, in case of new features that weren't there in the old PS version. But that too usually works with the "maximize compatibility" option checked).
