If I buy upgrade, can I still use previous version?

I am sure this question is answered on the Adobe site or in the forums somewhere, but I can't find the answer. I'm hoping that someone can point me to the official Adobe policy.
I am thinking of upgrading from CS4 to CS5, and one of the considerations which would affect my decision would be the ability to keep and use the older version on my 2nd computer (a laptop). Is this allowed? Currently I have to de-activate Photoshop on my desktop PC and activate it on my laptop in order to use it while travelling, and I always forget to do that, so I end up not using Photoshop on my laptop at all.

This question is only partly answered. His subject line question is not fully answered. His specific variation of the question is answered though. I am still trying to find the answer to his Subject line question. If an owner of an eligible older version of an adobe product buys the upgrade version. Can you keep using the previous version and then install and use the new upgrade copy on a different computer?
The way this was answered so far, sounds like regardless of the upgrade, that a single version copy is allowed to be installed on a desktop and laptop for mobility reasons.

Upgraded Java, CF still using older version - how?

This server is Win2008 fully patched, IIS 7.0 in good shape - CF 9.0 no patches installed - which we obviously want to fix. When we tried to install patches, we got this:
To try and resolve this, our first mistake was installing Java version 8 (1.8) - which we-now-know doesn't work with 9.0. What I'm not following is why CF settings reports still using 1.6. From what I've read and can see in java.config, it's storing/accessing its own JRE in CF directories. 2 questions: 1) How can I access the security settings for this JRE so I can get patches installed 2) If not possible, am I right in thinking we have to uninstall 8, reinstall the server version of 6 (1.6), point CF at the server version of Java so we can change the security settings (with restarts at the proper places) so we can start getting security patches installed? Any alterations to those steps?
Once I get to patch 4 we'll be upgrading to Java 7 - does CF 9.01 fully patched work with Java 1.8? I see Java 7 is due to expire April 2015.

Coldfusion uses its own version of java by default. You can, however, change this to use the version installed on the server when you download it off of the internet. Here is a blog post about this process - How to change/upgrade JDK version of ColdFusion server — Adobe ColdFusion Blog.
Note as well just because a new version of Java is installed doesnt mean that the old version is gone. Major java revisions dont upgrade, like .NET it just installs the different version. Sometimes when you install Java 7 or 8 it will leave the old legacy versions which the browser will still try and use. Usually, after the Java install is done, it asks if you want to remove the outdated versions. You can use the official Java uninstall tool to scan for old versions and remove them for you - Java Uninstall Tool
Coldfusion 9 wont support anything higher then Java 7. Java 8 has only just been made available to the most recent version of Coldfusion in the last 6 months or so. Like Java 7 soon, Coldfusion 9 is end of life and support for it stopped last year.
Finally, you don't need Java to update CF9. Java is used for the browse dialogues to find the files. If you have already downloaded the hotfix jars, just copy and paste the path & file name in to the Update File box and click Submit Changes. This will do the same thing and install the hotfix.

Can I still use old versions of itunes producer

Hi.
I recently purchased a mac mini (circa 2007) for the sole purpose of uploading epub files I already have to the iBook store. I'm using os 10.6.8 with an intel processor and ram and processor speed in excess of what Apple lists as minimum requirements. However when I download itunes producer 2.9 I get an error message that my machine won't support the program.
I've found a website where I can download older versions of itunes producer -- can I use, for example, vers. 2.2 of producer to still upload content?
I'm a long-time windows guy and brand new to the world of mac.
Thanks

Like Windoze, older equipment is not able to deal with updates intended for "newer" equipment.
The answer is, if you can find older software it may be OK.
I suggest you look at the top of this page > Apple Support Compunities, and scroll down to find the Mac Mini discussion group.

Can I still use my Lightroom 4.1 after I buy Lightroom 5?

Hi,
A few weeks ago I bought Lightroom 4.1 Student/Teacher. I saw that Lightroom 5 is coming out soon, if I buy it, can I still use my 4.1 version? Could I even register Lightroom 5 with the same proof that I am a student that I used for registering Lightroom 4.1? I have Lightroom 4.1 on my laptop and was thinking about buying Lightroom 5 for my PC. But I don't know if I can still buy the Student/Teacher version!?
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!

The upgrade price is the same as what the student version costs. I purchased an academic version of Lightroom 4, and upgraded to Lightroom 5 online/download. There were no problems, and you don't have to do any of the student verification stuff. I still have both versions installed and active on my computer.

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 7.0, can I print my album in New Zealand or Australia?

I have created an album in iphoto but can't buy it because I still use iphoto 08 (version 7.0). If I upgrade to version 8.0 which is iphoto 09 can I print my album in New Zealand?

Yes -- http://store.apple.com/us/help/print_products/routing
but to upgrade you will need to purchase an iLife DVD from ebay or Amazon or other source - older versions of iPhoto are not available from the App Store - either iLife '09 or '11 will work on 10.6.8
beware that sometimes books (albums are logical organzational elements in iPhoto) sometimes will change with upgrades so you may need to make some changes after upgrading - be sure to carefully preview prior to ordering the book

If upgrade from CS2 to CS 3 can I still use GoLive ?

If I upgrade from CS2 to CS3 with Dreamweaver, can I still use/run GoLive to maintain existing GoLive files for a time, until I make the transition ?, or once I install CS3 I need to transition right quick ?
thanks if anyone knows the answer to this ... Laura

> In my case, once I installed and activated CS3 my CS2 apps stopped working. Was GL CS2 excluded from this shutdown?
What do you mean by stopped working? Did you get an error message when launching the apps?

If I upgrade to OS Yosemite, can I still use office 2011 on my Mac

If I upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10, can I still use office 2011 on my MacBook Pro 2011

Yes, I am still using mine. As long as you don't do a fresh install, which is deleting the hard drive then installing Yosemite. However, I recommend a new fresh install every update. It keeps the computer in tip top shape.

I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

Yes.
The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
From the FAQ
Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."

Yes, but you will need the wall charger adapter for UK as the USA has two prong and not three.

As it says,
If you buy an ipad 4 (with retina display) in Korea,
can you still use with Netherland's micro-simcard?

You can use it in the Netherlands, but only on a GSM network. LTE is not supported in the Netherlands at this time.

I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac. If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac. If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
Mavericks System requirements.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

If I buy upgrade, can I still use previous version?
