I have cs 4 with an upgrade to 5.5. how do i go about installing it on my new computer?

this is the worst thing i have ever done in my life.
i am trying to install 5.5 on my new computer.  i have bought cs 4 in the past and bought an upgrade to 5.5. i have installed cs 4 just fine. now i would like to apply my upgrade to it. but the installer will not allow. it does not recognize that i have any programs associated with the license. but it does know that it is a valid license. what is up with that?

It sounds like your CS4 installation is not being recognized by the CS5.5 installation.
You did not have to install CS4 if your only reason was to install CS5.5.  The CS5.5 installation should offer you the option to manually specify the qualifying product (CS4) serial number as part of the CS5.5 activation processing.

  • My computer with a licensed copy of CS4 died. I want to install it on my new computer. I cannot deactivate CS4 on my old computer, because it no longer runs, and I no longer have it.

    I want to install my licensed copy of CS4 (from the CD--Windows version) onto a new computer that I recently purchased. My OLD computer died in July.  I cannot deactivate the CS4 software on that computer. It has now been gutted (because a local tech guy was trying to fix it, but he couldn't) and I no longer even have the computer. So I would like to transfer that license to my new computer.
    I have been able to "install" the software from the CD, but it doesn't completely "work". It looked like everything was OK initially but it won't recognize certain keystrokes, etc. and is not functional, which I figure is the software's way of saying "too many installs on this license."
    So now what do I do...is there any way I can get "permission" to install this so it will work?

    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.

  • I had elements 11 on my computer that just crashed.  It was an downloaded upgrade of elements 7.  How can I go about restoring 11 to my new computer?

    My computer recently crashed.  Fortunately, I had my pictures saved (25,000!) but I lost my elements 11 that was a downloaded upgrade from elements 7.  What do I need to do to get elements 11 back up and running?

    You can download it and use the serial number you have to activate it...

    If you registered the software with Adobe then you should be able to find your serial number thru your Adobe account online.  You should also need the serial number for version 7 if that is what you upgraded from.

  • I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

    I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

    Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
    Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
    Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
    Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
    Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
    Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
    Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
    Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
    Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
    Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
    Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
    Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

    No. The broken glass technically voids the AppleCare Coverage. The Apple Genius will listen to your story and evaluate the problems with your iPhone. The Genius can decide how to handle this in many ways, including accepting this with AppleCare, but I doubt it. Again the broken glass voids the Coverage. If the Genius decides that the AppleCare is now Void, out of Warranty replacement is $149.

  • Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware

    Hello i have a problem with my MacBook Air they wiped out the operating system then installed windows 7 how do i re install the apple firmware please help

    That is incorrect. You can install Windows on a Mac, any Mac, without having OS X installed on it.
    To the OP you will need the original system reinstall USB thumb drive that came with your Mac Air if it is older than a Mid 2011 model or if it is newer than a Mid 2011 model you use the Online Internet recovery system.
    If you don't have that original reinstall USB thumb drive you can order one from Apple for a small charge. Call Apple and ask to speak to someone Specifically to order a Replacement USB system reinstall thumb drive for your model year. You will need the serial number of that Air. It is etched into the bottom of the case.
