InDesign CS5.5 upgrade

I currently have InDesign CS4 Design Premium. I purchased and downloaded the InDesign CS5.5 upgrade as I only want to update InDesign and not the entire Design Premium package, but when I try to activate I am told I can't. I suspect this is because the serial number I have for my existing Design Premium package is not recognized as being InDesign CS4 only. Can someone please assist? I can upgrade just a portion of the Design Premium package, right?

Ok so there is a way. Call Adobe (who were very very helpful) And they will obtain a special allowance for upgrade of a single component of indesign. Over the phone they will cancell your serial number and give you a new one. This apparently is the only way to do this. I have just done this and it worked. It makes sense to be able to just upgrade one (what if you only use indesign and cannot justify the costly entire collection upgrade when photoshop is still cs5 anyway. Try that and be very clear on phone that this is what you require. they should be helpful

InDesign CS5 Upgrade bought in USA for use in Europe?

I've got an InDesign CS3 and want to upgrade it to CS5. The current version was purchased in the US (I live in Germany), somehow it'd worked out back in 2007 to install and use it (I had to call Adobe Support Germany.)
Would it work now if I get a CS5 Upgrade from the States?
Vic

Thank you! Could you please clarify a bit:
Does it mean, I can get the Upgrade from anywhere (USA, Germany etc.) and it will work as long as I live in Germany (region I lived when installing the original Version)?

InDesign CS5 upgrade fails, erratic behavior. Caused by Siebel?

PC1 and PC2 upgrading from CS4 to CS5. Both PCs are identical. Install on one of them fails with odd icon issues, file association probelms, etc.The only difference we can find is that the PC that had a failed install has Oracle's Siebel CRM installed. Further evidence, after InDesign CS5 had been installed, my Sieble quit and had to be reinstalled. The only variable we can find is the installation of Siebel.
Is it possible that InDesign CS5 and Oracle's Siebel CRM have conflicts? We've been battling this for quite a while and may have to downgrade our entire enterprise back to CS4 is we can't eliminate the CS5 bugs. Please advise.

I'm on a fact finding mission right now. All the computers in our department that have CS4 and Siebel installed (and working fine) start acting really strange when upgrading. As soon as we try to updgrade CS4 to CS5, there are all these wierd errors and failures and exception erros, etc. So either Siebel was built with a bug way back when (we use an older version), or Siebel and CS5 try to use the same frameworks without playing nicely.
You're right, it could be Siebel. But it could be InDesign, just pulling togther info at the moment and want to know if anyone else is having problems. Our IS tam is patching Siebel this weekend, so we'll know a little more.

Missing words creating PDF with Acrobat 7 (newly installed InDesign CS5)

Since a few days I have some curiosity creating PDF files!
Randomly the PDF output is missing whole words in the document but having spares in the right tracking for them in the document.
It occurs that the missing words are subject to another font however not all words in this font are missing in the document.
Also my printer tell's me if he's going to print the PDF (in this case a serial letter with pre-stamped addresses) his computer is breaking down completely and also printing hieroglyphs.
This document was printed from MS Word 2003 with "Adobe PDF" as printer.
I also use FreePDFXP, though the same error comes up.
In addition I tried several settings for the PDF with no effect in the outcome.
I am still working with Acrobat 7 (from CS2 suite) under WinXP Professional SP3 and hadn't any problems before installing my InDesign CS5 upgrade a few days ago.
I only can assume that the problem is InDesign CS5 but cannot prove it.
Anyone an idea on how to solve the problem?!
I am really annoyed about this since for the pre-stamped letters I already paid money to the mail service and the need to be in the mail today - otherwise I am loosing several 100 Euros to the paper-bin).

Thanks for your feedback.
However I checked all the settings in the joboptions. All fonts are to be embedded (100%) and I also actively selected the fonts to be transferred.
I am using TheSans from LucasFonts as Open Type.
For my document I have SemiLight as standard style and Bold for accentuation.
While the bold style will be printed in "bold only" lines, it is not printed in lines/paragraphs where also the SemiLight style is used.
When I change color of the words in bold, the effect inverts and only the bold style words are displayed but not the SemiLight text!
I have a second laptop with the same system and software configuration (Win XP Professional SP3; Acrobat 7), where the same document runs smoothly.
That's why I assume, that it must be the Indesign CS5 upgrade causing trouble (it's the only new addition to the first laptop).
Unfortunately Adobe has no answer here also.
The only solution would be to adopt my documents for this effect and follow the logic of the machine instead of my mind...
As we do so often since invention of computers...

Upgrade only Indesign CS5.5 to CS6 (instead of whole Design Premium)

Hi,
is it possible to upgrade only my Indesign CS5.5 to CS6, instead of upgrading my whole Design Premium Suite?
I purchased the indesign-upgrade, but now I can't install it.
thanks!

you should contact adobe support. if anyone can help you upgrade from a suite to an individual producet, then can.
i don't believe they will be able to do that in which case you'll probably need to contact them about a refund.
so, in either case, contact adobe support: http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html

Use InCopy CS4 with InDesign CS5? Or Upgrade to CS 5.0?

Client has InCopy CS4; project is in InDesign CS5.
Can they upgrade to InCopy CS5 (not 5.5)?
I don't imagine they can open an InDesign CS5 file with InCopy CS4, can they?
We're both on Macs
Thanks for your help!

Hello Srivatsan,
The differences between downtime minimized and the resource minimized is the first shutdown of the production system. For downtime minimized strategy it's the phase MODPROF_TRANS. And for resource minimized, it's either EU_import, or the START_SHDI_FIRST. But you can restart the soruce system(but not in production mode) after that until MODPROF_TRANS.
The downtime actually is depend on the hardware and the size of the database. It has nothign to do with the application. It's doing the table conversion and changing and keep them consistent.
To be safe, I would recommend you to plan at least a weekend for the downtime (after MODPROF_TRANS) if the database is not too big.
Regards,
Joe

Mac upgrade to Yosemite, Adobe Indesign CS5 keyboard shortcuts not working - t for text - z for zoom - v for pointer etc

So I upgraded my MACBOOK PRO (Retina, Mid 2012) 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7
to MAC OS X YOSEMITE
Adobe Indesign CS5 generally works with some very annoying bugs.
All major keyboard shortcuts that use a single key command have stopped working. and these happen to be the main ones I use all the time for editing...
t for text
z for zoom
v for pointer
It's annoying because now I have to keep going back to the tool bar to change my cursor selection. It's just slowing me down.
Annoying but workable.
Has anyone else go this issue?
An update or fix would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING!!!
I was contacted by apparently a third party supplier called Adobe Systems via this forum
They logged in to my computer via team viewer
installed utorrent
and proceed to download a cracked version of adobe cs6
in the mean time saying on skype that Adobe no longer has Adobe CS6 on their server.
This seemed very OFF to me and I disconnected the skype (and blocked Adobe Systems) and disconnected TeamViewer
If I wanted a cracked version of Adobe CS6 I'm very capable of doing this kind of thing my self
However I run a business I want to have a legitimate licensed copy of the software running for my staff.
They were offering a fully licensed version of a Adobe Master Suite CS6 with my own unique ID for USD$400
Again very OFF considering the upgrade from Adobe from Indesign CS5 to CS6 is almost AUD$1600
I don't know how they got my email address from this forum but it seems that the adobe forum has been hacked!
you have been warned!

InDesign CS5.5 v.7.5 won't open some files because it needs plug in updates, but it won't let me upgrade

I have InDesign CS5.5, v.7.5. I'm trying to open a rather large file with lots of images, but it says "Please upgrade plugins/latest version", but when I tried to update it with download 7.5.1 through Adobe Patch Installer, it keeps saying "update is not applicable." Or it will almost install and then give me an error code.
InDesign will let me open certain files, but not the one I really need. It was working properly a few days ago.
This InDesign subscription I got was in Feb 2012 though my school. Help!

If you are using CS5.5 it isn't part of a subscription to creative cloud (hard to tell if that's what you mean), so you may have a newer version of InDesign installed as well (they are not mutually exclusive). That said, the last patch for CS5.5 was 7.5.3, but it doesn't really matter in this case. That warning indicates the files were saved in a newer version of InDesign and cannot be opened in CS5.5.

How do I upgrade the plugins needed for my earlier version of InDesign CS5 so I can open a file in a later version of CS5?

You can’t. You have upgrade or have whoever is send you files save as IDML. Don’t expect perfection.

Upgrade version of Indesign CS5

Hi,
A few years ago I upgraded from Pagemaker 6.5 to InDesign CS5. I now have a new computer and want to install InDesign CS5, but I don't have the old Pagemaker 6.5 installed on the new PC (I no longer have the CD or serial number). Is there a way around this problem without buying an old Pagemaker version?
Thanks!

Hi John,
It must have been the full version as I just chatted to Adobe through LiveChat and they very kindly changed the serial number to allow me to install the program. I think it was called an upgrade as it was probably a bit cheaper to allow for the fact that we already had Pagemaker. Excellent customer service on their part!

Can't install InDesign CS5.5 Upgrade

I've just purchased the InDesign CS5.5 upgrade to update myself from InDesign CS2 (both for Mac and Australian market). The Installation recognizes my new serial number, but not my previous CS2 serial number that I have to key in as I don't have InDesign CS2 installed anymore (and don't want to as it will only run in Classic mode). What's the solution??? Both are legitimate products. Would like some answers please.

You have to contact Adobe Support for this,
When you will enter the Adobe CS5 serial number and then click next the Indesign cs2 to be selected and then enter its serila number.
If it gets accepted it will get install other wise you need to contact the Adobe to get it sorted.

Adobe InDesign CS5 needs plugs ins, but how? Adobe InDesign CS6 won't open says OS problem. Adobe upgrade site crashes on me.

You might ask in InDesign to learn how to install plugins
>says OS problem
What IS your operating system, and which exact version?
Is the link below where you are starting for upgrades?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

HELP: just upgraded to Mac OS 10.7.3 and InDesign CS5.5 keeps crushing upon opening

Hi - Indesign CS5.5 stopped working after I upgraded to mac OS 10.7.3. It was working fine before the upgrade... It keeps crushing during the launch. Photoshop seems to work fine but the same thing happens when I try to open Illustrator. I reinstalled CS 5.5 suite but to no avail.
Here are some info from the crash report:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'launch path not accessible'
*** Call stack at first throw:
I don't know what this means since I'm not that tech savvy... Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I thought I deleted it by using app zapper but could it be that some parts didnt' get deleted? idk...
Any time you choose to use a third-party software removal tool instead of the vendor's own process, you run a risk of it failing in subtle and annoying ways. Generally speaking, you're better off without tools like this.

Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

Running OS 10.6.8 on a 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Mac can I upgrade from Indesign CS5 to CS6?

They do, but what happens when the client(s) move to CC? Of course doing
so opens a new can of worms for you since 10.6.8 is unsupported for
anything later than CS6.
You should start budgeting for some upgrades sooner rather than later.

Won't accept serial no. for InDesign CS5 when trying to upgrade to CS6. What to do?

I own InDesign CS5 (single product, not part of a suite) and I'm trying to upgrade to CS6, which I just bought. When prompted for the serial no. for CS5 the installer won't accept it; it says it is not a qualifying product. I have double-checked the serial number at My Adobe account – it is correct. Please help!
