I want to upgrade from cs3 design premium to cs6....how do i do that?

You cannot. There is no upgrade path from CS3 to CS6 any more. That window closed a couple of years ago.
Your options now:
Buy a full new version of CS6, or
Join the Cloud

Can I upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design Standard?

I'm looking to upgrade my CS3 (and may need to as I'm upgrading my Mac OS X and not sure about compatibilty)... of course I know I can upgrade like for like, i.e. go from CS3 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium but I don't really need Dreamweaver and Flash so just wondering if I can upgrade to CS6 Design Standard?
Also, as I'm still relatively new to this arena and have never upgraded before... how does it work? Do I need to keep my CS3 software (i.e. disks) as well as the new software/disks? i.e. if for whatever reason I may need to re-install down the line...or can I get rid of the CS3 once I get the CS6?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can do that. But you only have a few more weeks. You may want to look into Creative Cloud instead. You'll need the CS3 serial number to upgrade to CS6 but the CS3 apps do not necessarily need to be installed.

Want to upgrade from CS3 [Design Premium] to CS5

Hi,
Want to upgrade from Design Premium CS3 to CS5 and saw there's a difference in price from upgrading from CS4 & CS3. Dumb question: If I bought the CS5 upgrade, would I be able to install the suite or would it ask for the previous CS4 version? If it only asks for CS3 I would really save some $$$$$$.
Can you help,
Ellen

What do you mean, there is a difference between upgrading from CS3 and CS4? An upgrade is an upgrade, there is only one price for an upgrade.
In CS4 (and CS5) Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing for suites only.
http://www.adobe.us/products/photoshop/photoshop/faq/
What is Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy?
Adobe's tiered upgrade pricing policy offers customers who upgrade at every release a lower upgrade price relative to customers who upgrade less frequently. This means that customers upgrading to Creative Suite 5 from Creative Suite 4 will pay a lower upgrade price compared to customers upgrading from an earlier version of Creative Suite.
Why does Adobe offer tiered upgrade pricing?
Customers who upgrade regularly have long requested better pricing compared to those who upgrade infrequently. Adobe introduced tiered upgrade pricing in 2008, with the launch of Creative Suite 4, to reward these customers.
Does tiered pricing also apply to individual Creative Suite components?
No. The tiered upgrade policy applies only to editions of Adobe Creative Suite and not to upgrades to individual components, such as After Effects, Flash Professional, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and so on. Customers can upgrade to the CS5 version of individual CS components from up to three versions back. The only exception is Adobe Premiere Pro; customers can upgrade to Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 from any earlier version of Adobe Premiere.

Upgrading from CS3 Design Premium to Illustrator CS6 standalone

Greetings,
I have Adobe CS3 Design Premium (I think-- it's one of the complete suites that includes Illustrator CS3). My license is an Education license. I also own Photoshop CS6 (standalone) with an Education license.
I'm wondering if i can purchase an upgrade to the standalone (not Creative Cloud) version of Illustrator CS6, at the Education price? If so what would the price be and how would I purchase it?
Thanks.

NorthOEK,
I am afraid the educational license of any kind is (still) outside any upgrade system.

Where can I download an upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium?

I am frustrated with the site - cannot find a way to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.

Hi there,
You can download Design & Web Premium CS6 from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium&loc=en_us
Once you download and install, you need to use CS6 serial number in the first screen and click next. On the next screen when it says "Previous qualifying version not available", please select CS5 Design Premium from the drop down list and enter your CS5 serial number and click next. It should then activate without any issues.
Regards,
Jairaj

Upgrade from CS3 Design Premium to CS3.3

I downloaded the upgrade file and ran it, which de-installed Acrobat Pro 8 and installed Acrobat Pro 9. This went off without a hitch, so that's good. Is that it for the upgrade? I remember there being much more to do with the CS2.3 upgrade.

I don't understand why is it so difficult for some to find out what CS3.3 includes. When you click on the link to it from the main page you get an Adobe Store page which clearly states:
"Combines Adobe InDesign® CS3, Photoshop® CS3 Extended, Illustrator® CS3, Flash® CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS3, and new Acrobat 9 Pro, and also includes Adobe Bridge CS3, Version Cue® CS3, Device Central CS3, and now Fireworks CS3."
So what's the problem? All this information is very easily accesible and very clear.

Multiple problems installing upgrade from CS5 Design Prem. to CS6 Design Prem.

I had started a thread a few days ago regarding problems that I was having while installing my upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium. Everything seemed to install fine with the exception of Acrobat X Pro. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4716847#4716847
I thought that I had resolved the issue through tech support, but apparently not. First of all, they had me install the trial version of Acrobat X which actually let me install with no errors. A couple of days passed and Acrobat asked if I would like to continue my trial or enter a serial number. I tried to use my serial that came with my upgrade but it rejected it, so I opted to continue the trial. Then earlier today as I was working in InDesign, upon launching I got a script error message.
Error in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS6\Flash\Flash-12.0.jsx
Line 153: if( app.name = = flashAppname && (module.name = = 'DefaultScript' II module.name = = 'Flash'))
Cannot open resource file.
After clicking OK it seemed to open InDesign fine and I was able to open files and go about working. While working I noticed that I had no effects in the dropdown menu under 'Object'. Tried the shortcut for them and nothing happened. I have yet to try to open any files containing effects (drop shadow or something) but am guessing that they will not work. My next course of action was to try to Uninstall and Re-Install. I removed CS6 and Acrobat X Pro from my computer and ran the Creative Suite Cleaner program. Then instead of installing the upgrade from the DVD, I decided to download the program from the Adobe LWS and give that a go thinking that maybe the download files are more up-to-date than the DVD that I recieved. Now it seems I am back to square one with the same problems (InDesign missing 'Effects' and who knows what else, and Acrobat X Pro failed to install), but this time I have diffent errors on the "error summary file" that shows up as a link in the "Installation Complete" dialog box. Sorry for being windy, but I really need to get this resolved. Thanks for any and all input. PC is Dell Precision T3500 running Windows 7 and is current on it's updates.

Reinstalling Acrobat 8 Pro from CS3 Design Premium, asking for Photoshop Elements 6 CD??

Hi.
I use a Macbook Pro with Leopard OS X version 10.5.8, 2.6 Ghz Intel Core Duo, $ GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I use Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium which came with Acrobat 8 Professional. Now, for a while I've been having issues updating Acrobat because it said it had been modified blah blah and something about plugins being disabled, so to rectify reinstall and run updates. I've seen alot of people on forums with this same issue.
For a long time I ignored this as the program was still working, but today it urked me enough to unistall (which I did by dragging it from the applications to trash) and try to reinstall.
So I tried. Put the CD in, selected only Acrobat 8 Pro for reinstallation, all went well until it asked me to put in the Photoshop Element 6 CD.... which I never had. Although the program does come on the CD. So i'm left confused, without acrobat pro and wishing i had never uninstalled!
I hope this makes some sort of sense. Any help would be much appreciated!

I resorted to using the live chat feature that Adobe have on the website. We found that once everything was uninstalled and then just reinstalled Acrobat alone, I wasn't asked to insert the Photoshop Elements 6 CD to continue and everything was fine. No problems. But, when I tried to then reinstall the rest of the suite, it asked for the CD.
So, the way to avoid it asking for the CD was to uninstall CS3 Design Premium completely and then reinstall all the programs. And everything seems to be working fine.
Maybe this was an obvious solution, but I didn't want to risk uninstalling all the programs only to be asked for a non-existent CD when reinstalling.
Anyway, hopefully someone else will find this helpful.

I want to upgrade from Contribute CS3. What is the highest system I can upgrade to? I need to install on 2 computers; one is Windows and the other is MAC. Can I do this?
Thanks

Contribute 6.5 is the current version and Adobe only sells current versions.
Unfortunately Contribute CS3 is too old to qualify for an upgrade. Only CS4 and newer qualify.

You'll either have to pay full price for CS6.5 or find another software solution.

Flash application missing from CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX?

Does anyone know if the Flash application is missing from the CS3 Design Premium disk,OSX? I installed all the programs a while ago and never opened the Flash program. Now, when I do, I can't open the application. There are other folders for Flash, but no application. It seems that it is missing. I tried to reinstall it from the original disk, but the installation is interrupted by a message that asks that the Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted. I had downloaded a trial Fireworks CS4, but do not have a disk. I uninstalled Fireworks ( according to adobe's instructions) and tried to install Flash again, but keep getting the same 'Fireworks CS4 disk be inserted' message. Does anyone know anything about this? Any help would be appreciated!

Yes, you unisntall the whole suite. It only uninstalls the programs, any user data and configuration is unaffected. If you wanan back it up, regardless, check your Users:You:Preferences:Adobe and Users:You:Documents folders and copy the stuff there toi a safe location.

Can you upgrade from CS5 Production Premium to CS6 Master Collection?

I have the student edition of CS5 Production Premium suite and Adobe Acrobat X Pro for Windows and I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade it to the CS6 Master Collection. If there is, how much would it cost? I would like to get InDesign and Dreamweaver. Or would it be easier to try to buy the two programs separate?

I saw that before, but I wasn't sure if it was an upgrade from the CS5 Master Collection or just anything CS5. Shouldn't the upgrade price vary depending on what collection of programs you have? Like shouldn't upgrading from the CS5 Master Collection be cheaper than upgrading from CS5 Production Premium? Will it change if I try to order it?

Will it be possible to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to PS CS6 only?

Hi!
I do own CS4/5 Design Premium and would like to know if it would be possible to get PS CS6 as upgrade from my versions. Or can I only upgrade to Suites?
Thanks,
Sven

You cannot buy an upgrade from a suite version to get just Photoshop CS6.
You might consider, however, buying a subscription to Photoshop 6 or the CS6 and the Creative Cloud (separately).
It will be easier to view your options after the official announcement of CS6 which is to happen on Monday, April 23.

Upgrade from CS3 Design Standard to CS5 Design Standard

A very simple, ignorant question that I cannot find an answer to!
Do I keep the CS3 suite on my Mac prior to installation of CS5 or do I remove it beforehand? If I leave CS3 installed, what is the best way to remove it after hopefully, the successful upgrade to CS5, without maybe deleting overwritten or updated files, as I do not wish to have two versions of the applications on my computer?
I had this problem on a Windows PC upgrading from Photoshop to CS2; the old version of Photoshop remained on the PC and I was nervous of deleting it incase there were shared files that were required for the new suite.
Thanks in anticipation!

Thanks again Steve. However, in this case, the clean install did refer to CS, in other words deleting all trace of previous versions before installing the upgrade. Honest! Some even suggested that it should be installed in the Mac equivalent of 'safe' mode, which I thought was taking it a bit far! The consensus to date is to leave CS3 installed, so we'll see what happens when the update is delivered tomorrow & I attempt to install it! Thanks again.

Error: Upgrade von CS5 Design Premium auf CS6 Design und web Premium

Hi, ich möchte ein Upgrade CS6 Design&Web Premium auf meinen iMac(Macosx 10.6.8) installieren. Habe aktuell noch CS5 Design Premium auf dem Rechner. Starte installation von CD, muss die Seriennumer von CS6 eingeben. Es folgt die Meldung" Die angegebene Seriennr. ist zwar gültig, auf diesem Comp. wurde aber kein als Berechtigungsnachweis geeignetes Produkt gefunden". Daraufhin wähle ich aus der vorgegebenen Liste mein Produkt (cs5 Design Premium) aus und gebe deren Serienummer ein. Daraufhin folgt die Meldung "Die Seriennr. gilt nicht für ein komaptibles Produkt. Geben Sie eine andere Nummer ein." Beide Creative Suites habe ich unter meiner Adobe-ID online registriert. Vielen dank vorab

Support per Webchat kontaktieren. Völliger Schwachsinn, bei sowas im Forum rumzuposten - hier gibt's nur User, keine Adobe-Offizieleln.
