Illustrator CS5 upgrade to Design Standard problem

Illustrator was working fine before but after upgrade only functions as a viewer of Ai documents. Selecting any tool only provides the hand tool, no other action possible. Acrobat Pro works fine, Photoshop works fine.
Assume the best start is to uninstall and reinstall but I won't be able to access the disks to do that until next week. Any ideas appreciated.
System: 2008 Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.3; Illustrator CS5, Version 15.1.0

The hand tool isn't good enough for you?
Have you tried deleting your preferences?

I am not sure that changing suites is supported.

Make sure you buy the right package. Here's a link to Amazon: http://amzn.to/c3vKbt

How can i speak to a HUMAN about upgrading to Design Standard CS6

how can i speak to a HUMAN about upgrading to Design Standard CS6?

See my reply to your other thread and provide more information. Adobe doesn't offer hand-holding, least of all on weekends, but you could always try to chat with one of the Indian support guys via the support pages...

I bought a CS5 creative suite design standard on the company of my husband 2 years ago. Is it possible to transfer the licence to another company? Is the transfer 'free' of charges of is there a price to pay with a transfer?

Hi grietbelg,
Please see Transfer an Adobe product license for information about transferring your CS5 license to another company. I don't believe that there is a fee involved--but both parties need to complete some paperwork, as outlined in that document.
Best,

(p.s. I've moved your discussion from the Acrobat.com forum to the Creative Suites forum.)

Upgrade to CS6 Design Standard problems

I bought CS5 Design Standard on March 30, 2012 so I applied for the free upgrade to CS under the "Claim your complimentary CS6 Upgrade" program (http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/upgrade-policy-produ ct-announcement1.html). I got an e-mail saying I was approved. Under "My Adobe", it showed a receipt for the free upgrade with an order #. There is a link on the receipt page to download the upgrade but when I click on the link it said I have no download. I contacted cutomer service a couple of times (phone and chat) and finally I got an e-mail with a serial number for CS6 Design Standard and it said to click on the download link on the receipt. But now the receipt that was there is gone and I can't download anything. I contacted customer service again (chat) and they said it should be up in 24 hours. It's been a week now and I contacted them again (response to open support ticket) and no answer now. I thought I would download the free trial and use the serial number I got but I can only find a download for CS6 Design Premium, not Standard. SO, where can I get a download for CS6 Design Standard or an upgrade to the same from CS5?? I have a serial number from Adobe but no place the download the program.
I went ahead and registered the CS6 serial number I got from the [email protected] e-mail and now it shows up as a registered product. It shows:
ADOBE DESIGN STANDARD 6 Win June 30, 2012
with the serial number underneath.
I looked around to see if a download link would show up now, but I still can't find anything. Any ideas?
(I originally posted this under the trial downloads section but moved it to here since it seems more appropriate).

Thank you for the help. I finally got it all installed. It only took 3 weeks to get this done. You have been very helpful, but Adobe has been extremely unhelpful. I'm not sure if you work for Adobe, but if you do let management know their customer support is lacking in many ways. Sorry for the editorial.

Upgrade from Design Standard to Production Premium

Hello,
the company I am working at is thinking about an upgrade from the Design Standard CS 5.5 to the Production Premium CS6.
My question now is: When we upgrade is it still possible to use InDesign CS 5.5?? Or will the licence change completly to Production Premium that it wont be possible to active InDesign ot the Design Standard package??
Thanks.

Thanks for your answer. That I can install CS5.5 und CS6 I was aware. The problem I saw was that the Production Premium doesn't include Indesign and that I will lose the the programm after the upgrade.

Need to reinstall illustrator CS5 upgrade but original version I have is Illustrator 10 which is only supported by Classic

I had my hard drive replaced on my imac. I now need to reinstall illustrator and Photoshop CS5 upgrades. The original full version of these was Ill10 and Photoshop 6 which were only supported by Classic OS9 which is no longer on my computer. How do I go about installing these without that?

What OS X version is on the iMac? Classic can only be used with Tiger OS 10.4 and lower.
The OS 9 installer is on the install disc that came with your iMac.
 Cheers, Tom

Illustrator CS5.1 uneven stroke offset problem

I'm getting a problem in Illustrator CS5.1 that I can't seem to solve. The attached image shows the issue I'm having. I've set a 1px stroke on three identical boxes.
Top - stroke set to outside - stroke overlaps edge of shape unevenly, shape appears to extend outside itself on bottom edge
Middle - stroke set to center - stroke appears fine
Bottom - stroke set to inside - entire stroke offsets downward unevenly, no longer appears to be touching top edge of shape
Also, the shape keeps shifting on the artboard. Using Smart Guides, I'll anchor a point to a ruled intersection, it appears to snap, but when I release the mouse, it will jump a bit in a random direction.
Other shapes do the same. The stroke on a square or rectangle appears fine as a center stroke, but set as the other two options it randomly offsets
I've restarted my machine (2009 Mac Pro os10.10.2), deleted Illustrator's prefs, copied shapes into a new file, and recreated the file from scratch. Same error reoccurs. Any other ideas?

Sounds like an Align to Pixel Grid issue. RGB documents default to this, but it can be changed.

CS4 to CS5 Upgrade has install/configuration problems ???

(My system is running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit )
Awile back I purchased:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 (FULL version) on the Installable DVD's.
...and just recently, last week, I decided to bite the bullit, and go for the 64-bit CS5 version upgrade.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 (Upgrade version) -downloadable option (its cost $299.00 US)
Method 1./ Now, this seemed to be more of an installation/config issue for me. but after I ran the CS5 upgrade, it did NOT
upgrade/change any of my Desktop icons/links ?
In other words, the same old CS4 Icons were on the desktop.
Instead, I had to goto C:\Program Files\Adobe\...CS5\..., and then create a shortcut to the CS5 executable onto my Desktop?
Method 2./
ok, this so-called CS5 upgrade option obviously dos NOT work right.
So, I completely UN-installed CS4 and CS5, and started from scratch again, but this time I simply installed just
the CS5 Upgrade binaries.
Well that seemed to work fine, and it also seemed to ievennstall all the 64-bit CS5 modules, though it also created some extra CS4 directories in C:\(x86)Program Files\Adobe... ? why would it do that ?
ok, well has anyone else also experienced any of this upgrade weirdness. ?
Note: I verified my Windows 7 64-bit was up-to-date, and I also "updated" CS5, actually it updates itself.
I have also had a couple "BLUE-screenies", and crashes" in CS5, none of which, in Windows I can really tell what is going on ?, and I never had these issues on CS4 on this same PC.?
I called the 1-800 number for Adobe Technical Support and basically they said the CS5 upgrade that I purchased should have worked fine. uhmmm ya'd think eh?
So, I thought this forum might be more "aware", and/or helpful regarding my Upgrading woes.
any thoughts, would be appreciated.
Thankyou.
Rick.

An Adobe upgrade is an upgrade by price, only. What I mean is that you're buying a new, fully separate version of the Adobe software from whatever your previous version was, and upon installation, your previous version is left intact (hence the reason your icons did not change--CS4 was still installed).
An update, on the other hand (which is what the program automagically did), actually does replace files, but only in the version that you're updating. A semantic issue, perhaps, but an important distinction.
You can run CS4 and CS5 side-by-side if you like, but if you want to be rid of CS4 and maintain only CS5, you need to uninstall CS4--or preferably, reinstall from the OS up. I always like to start fresh when a new suite comes along.

Upgrade CS3 Design Standard using CS3 Design premium Upgrade?

Is this possible?
My employer purchased an Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium Upgrade, and I have the Standard version of CS3 installed on my G4; there is nothing mentioned in the system requirements list, but on the box front it reads "This upgrade version of Adobe Creative Suite 3.3 Design Premium will install only if you are a licensed user of eligible Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium software."
That seems to be pretty definitive, but I thought I'd check with some more knowledgeable users.

m,
What your boss has and what you have is not relevant. The two Creative Suites are two distinct versions, each with its own license and upgrade path.
Aside from it being illegal, you cannot use your boss' software Premium version to upgrade your Standard version.
Beyond that, CS3 and CS3.3 are both discontinued. My recommendation would be to save for a newer computer and CS4 Standard or Premium.

Reinstall issue on upgraded CS Design Standard 5.5 on new Mac

Old Mac crashed and died, and with it my CS DS 5.5. Have downloaded a new copy from the Adobe website.
Tha Adobe Application Manager accepts the serial number, but can't find a "qualified product". When trying to select manually from the pull down-menu, 5.5 is not there, just 5.0, which is not accepted either.
I own an old 3.0 license, so the 5.5 was probably an upgrade. I tried to work around the issue by downloading CS 3, but the Adobe download link dead just ends in an error message.
Customer service phone hours seem to be over, as all attempts to go there loop back to the page where one choses a product...
Any suggestions?
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

great!
(and congratulations, from southern california, usa.)

MAC CS5.5 - Problem Upgrade Design Standard Testversion to Master Collection

I want to migrate from the Design Standard test version to the Master Collection CS 5.5 on MAC.
Things that I have done:
- Remove the Design Standard version with the Application manager
- Installation of the Master Collection with correct recognizes serial number (green sign)
- Starting InDesign
- Dialog of 30 days test period from the removed Design Standard version appears.
What did I wrong or missed I something?
Any help for me?
Many thanks in advance.
German one :-):
Beim Upgrade einer Design Standard Testversion auf die Master Collection kommt trotz vollständiger Deinstalltion mit dem Application Manager nach Eingabe der neuen Seriennummer der Master Collection (die mit grünem Häkhen erkannt wurde) der Testdialog mit 30 Tagen der Design Standard Version beim Start von InDesign.
Irgendwie hat er nicht alles gelöscht wie es scheint.
Hat irgend jemand ne Idee?
Danke im Voraus.

I have removed all existing Adobe version from the computer (CS5, CS5.5 and CS6), the CS CleanerTool doesn't find any installed version but nothing changed after installing the CS 5.5 Master collection. The CS 5.5 Design Standard 30 days test period dialog appears :-(
Any futher helps? Could the Adobe files be removed manually from the system including all hidden or system files?
Many thx in advance.
