I just downloaded a registered copy CS4 Production Premium. I started the install. Entered the serial number and Select "I have a SN...". On the next page the installer thinks I am upgrading and wants the "old" application & it's SN. What do I do now?

WkgrayCS4 you will want to enter the serial number for the version you are upgrading from.  You can find your registered serial numbers at http://www.adobe.com/.  Please see Find your serial number quickly - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html for more details on how to locate your previous version serial number.

  • I just downloaded a 30 day trial and it wants me to put in a Serial Number...how do i get this serial number?

    Hi All: I would like to try this Abode Acrobat XI Pro (can you only get a trial for the Pro version) I before i buy just the regular Acrobat XI.
    How do i find a serial bumber for the trail version.
    Thanks for any help

    The only way to get a serial number is to buy one... which is not supposed to be needed for a 30 day trial
    I've never done an Adobe trial, so don't have anything else to offer

  • Currently own CS4 Production Premium and considering CC - what are the upgrade options?

    Looked at the plans and there is currently a discount for previous customers under the "Individuals" plan.
    Does this apply to business customers as well?

    Arnold,
    First, you're ranting to fellow Adobe product users, not Adobe. If this were the universal disaster you're claiming, there would be many posts to that effect in the Forums. So, you're pretty much in a minority here. Have you asked product-specific questions in those product forums? If you do, lose the attitude, no matter how bad the problem -- it won't win you any friends or much help.
    You do make a point about the way Help has been restructured, as some folks are not happy with the change. But Adobe claims it is the best way to have the latest help information available. Help exists in multiple forms for each app, including searchable manuals as you've used before and knowledgebase and these Forums.
    As for apps not working right, you haven't told us anything about your system hardware or software, how you installed the new software, how you prepared your system for installation and what maintenance you've done. So we can't comment or offer suggestions.
    But if all you want is a refund, I suggest contacting Adobe directly by phone in your area.

  • I have just bought all this adobe stuff, bought light room 5 after I entered my serial number, it said I need the previous number. i don't have one??

    I need help. just purchased the daobe light room and can't get further than the serial number, says i need previous number. I'm confused

    If you buy an Upgrade you will need to have a previous version of Lightroom ... a Full version doesn't need a previous serial number.
    Did you buy and "Upgrade" or "Full" version?
    If you wanted full but bought an upgrade you will need to contact Adobe customer support.

    Please help!

    You placed your incomplete problem statement as the title rather than as the content of your posting and it got cut off.
    Your CS3 Design Standard serial number is only valid for the CS3 Design Standard package of software.  You cannoit download individual components of it and use the serial number for them.  You need to install them thru the Suite.

  • Install CS4 Production Premium on MacBook Pro and Windows workstation

    Is it possible to purchase CS4 Production Premium PC version and install the Mac version on my MacBook Pro using the same license? I believe installation on a desktop and laptop is allowed in the EULA.

    no, dont think so
    mac and pc-versions are regarded as different
    products. I'm in the same situation.
    like to have cs4 on macbook and pc.

  • I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.

    I have tried downloading photoshop cs2 and cs4 on a new computer.  I have the disc available for cs2 and the serial number for cs4.  They are both registered in my name.  I need help doing a download.  I was able to get part way through cs4, it showed up in my downloads but never got as far in the process as to ask for serial numbers.  I tried with cs2 and I got an error message that some bit of information was incorrect.  I currently have both downloaded on two other lap tops I own.  One is operational and one is dead.  I cannot access the dead one to remove the program. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    For CS2 you will need to download a special new version

  • Please Help Me -- CS4 Design Premium and CS4 Production Premium on Same Machine

    We are a non-profit organization that gets donated software at a great price but you're limited to what's available. We bought the CS4 Design Premium Suite last year (CDs). I called the Adobe sales department to find out if I could run CS4 Design Premium on the same machine. They told me that I could. So I bought CS4 Design Premium as a download. It took a tremendous amount of time just to download the package, and once installed Premiere Pro would not run properly. I called tech support and spent 9+ hours on the phone and no resolution. They had me doing everything -- uninstalled both packages six times. They kept telling me I didn't have enough RAM (and I knew that was wrong because I have been editing using AVID before deciding to go with Adobe -- and I had the CS3 Adobe Premiere Pro, Soundbooth and Encore running on my E drive with no problem before I went ahead and bought CS4 Production Premium).
    I took my computer back to the company that built it and they suggested that I replace my graphics card and sure enough, Premiere Pro worked fine. Everything seemed to work fine in both packages except Adobe Acrobat. When I opened a pdf file, Acrobat asked for a serial number, but wouldn't accept my Design Premium serial number. I called tech support thinking they would give me a different serial number for Acrobat or something simple. Needless to say after 3 hours, and uninstalling the software again, they told me I couldn't run two CS4 suites on the same computer. Then a supervisor told me I could run both suites, but I would need to run a cleanup program, uninstall both of my suites and start again!
    All software in CS4 Design Premium installs except Acrobat. It is grayed out on the install screen as if it's already installed, and when I try to open a pdf file, the installer pops up, installs Acrobat, and asks for a serial number. When I enter the serial number, it gives me a red "x".
    SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
    I don't know where to turn now ... is there anybody in the United States that I can get help from?
    Can Adobe deactivate my CS4 Design Premium and Production Premium and send me the Master Collection CS4?
    Please help me if you can!
